I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files.  It says it doesn't recognize the file.  Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them.  It says it doesn't recognize the files.  How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

  • I'm trying to e-mail music scores and audios, but I receive an error message saying Preview doesn't recognize the file format, regardless whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3.  I haven't come across Preview or this problem before.  Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to send music, scores and audio, as e-mail attachments, with a copy to my e-mail address.  Whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3, the error message says Preview doesn't recognize the file format.  I haven't seen Preview, or had any problems, before now.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
    For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
    The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
    If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
    It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
    If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

  • How to import Nikon Nef (raw Files) ?

    Hello
    I'm having problems importing Nikon Nef Raw files, PSE9 is displaying the message The file is damaged or file format
    cannot be included. Any suggestions please.

    You are going to need Adobe Camera Raw 6.3, but the only version that has been released is the Version 6.3 Release Candidate, which I don't think can be installed with PSE. You will have to wait until the final version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 is released.
    The only workaround is to use the Version 6.3RC DNG Converter to convert your RAW files to DNG files, which can then be accessed by PSE.

  • Cannot open CS6, it craves JBX-plugin, and my Mac doesn't recognize the file so I can't download

    I wonder why CS6 is not complete when downloaded? Why should I have to download JBX? If needed it should be a part of Indesign. My Mac doesn't have a name of a file to open and download, so now I simply don't have CS6 and can't convert my book to Kindle for sales on Amazon.
    Terribly disappointed!
    /maria

    I am using OS X 10.9.2 and I'm attaching the error message I get. I am
    trying to install InDesign CS6 in order to convert my book to Kindle, but
    Amazon's plug-in only works with InDesign CS6 NOT with InDesign CC.
    I am attaching the Kindle Plugin also.

  • How do I keep my installer from trying to update with Photoshop instead of installer? Quark can't update because the installer opens Photoshop which doesn't recognize the file and I'm not given the option to choose anything else.

    1. Sync wasn't intended to be used in that manner. You would be better off carrying around a USB Flash Stick with Portable Firefox for use on "strange" PC's.
    2. You could open the "Library" {Ctrl + Shift + B} and highlight all those bookmarks and then delete them all at once. But that would also delete all the other bookmarks, and it isn't foolproof. All another person would need to do it to '''''restore''''' a bookmark backup file that has your bookmarks. Beyond that, a new Profile could be created and then the current Profile deleted; but that's "messing with" someone else's computer - an action that is worthy of terminating a friendship over, IMO.
    And if that "public" computer was set up properly, Sync should have been disabled.

  • HT3775 I am trying to open a .mov file in "Quicktime" and it keeps saying it doesn't support the file.

    I have made a movie in "Final Cut Pro X" saved it as a .mov file and "QuickTime" won't open it. It keeps saying that it doesn't recognize the file. Ironically there is another .mov file right next to it on the flash drive that opens just fine. I do notice that the one it does open looks like a little black box with a 'play' arrow button in it when I run the curser over it, but the one it doesn't open has a 'Quicktime' 'Q' in it.
    I try to eject the flash drive and it says "Final Cut Pro X" is still using it, then it shows me a window that shows 6% progress. I am thinking maybe the movie is still loading. I really don't know.

    Try VLC.

  • Importing Nikon NEF Raw files into iPhoto

    Recently I purchased a Nikon D810 camera and have been trying out various settings to determine the quality of picture I can get. As a way to run through the test, I took pictures with different RAW (NEF) settings. I also took pictures in JPG format for comparison.
    What I have found is that iPhoto (version 9.6) will import all of the JPG files but only the RAW files taken in the Large 14 bit or Large 12 bit format. It will not accept the RAW Small photos.
    Has anyone run into this problem? And, if so, any ideas about how o address this?
    I am using a Mac Pro for this work.
    Thanks.

    That is what Apple's RAW support page says, so you can do nothing about it:
    OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
    See the footnote at
    Nikon D4S†
    Nikon D810†
    Notes
    †Nikon RAW L format only.

  • How can I open Nikon NEF raw files in CS4?

    I've tried all the tips I've seen in the Forums so far to no avail.  I've downloaded the latest software, I've found the Carmera Raw.8bi file - it's in the Adobe/Plug Ins/CS/File Format.  I have Cs4 selected as the default to open NEF files.  What else can I do?  I have the D90.

    The latest version of camera raw is 5.7 for cs4.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4683
    If you go to the About Plug-in under the help menu and choose camera
    raw, you can see which version you have.
    The location should be C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS4/File Formats.
    If you have a 64 bit windows, there will be one in the Program files/common files
    and one in the Program files (x86)/common files.

  • HELP - How can I import Nikon .nef files into Lightroom?

    I installed Lightroom 5 on a Mac and tried importing (copy as DNG) .net files from an SD card I used with my Nikon D750 (LR 5 is supposed to support the D750).  LR couldn't display a preview or import that file type so I used the latest Adobe DNG converter (version 9) to convert the .nef pics on the SD card.  LR then recognized the images but STILL WOULD NOT IMPORT them.  I get an error message saying the images could not be "read."  I've tried 2 different SD cards.  !Any suggestions?  Thanks.
    I even tried uninstalling Lightroom 5 and installing a trial of Lightroom CC.  I tried importing .dng files that were converted from Nikon .net files with the Adobe DNG converter.  I received the error message in the screen shot below.

    This error message means you have to set the Destination directory to have WRITE permission.
    So, determine what directory is specified in the Import dialog box on the right in the Destination section. Then go to your operating system, find this exact directory, and then change the directory to have WRITE permission.

  • Why Photoshop doesn't recognize the Camera Raw modifications ?

    Dear all
    I'have passed to Yosemite few day ago reinstalling all the CS6 suite, but now when I open an elaborated photo from Camera Raw to Photoshop, I can't see any modifications: it's seems that Photoshop doesn't recognize the Camera Raw modifications.
    Someone could help me ?

    Couple of things:
    1. That's not what Photoshop does. It's not an image manager, it's a file editor. So, you can set Photoshop to start when you connect your camera but it will stat and nothing will happen.
    2. You need to decide how you want to manage your photos. You can do this with iPhoto, the Finder or something else. Which ever you decide let us know and we can help you set that up.

  • CS5 doesn't recognize older files.

    I have recently started upgrading our CS4 users to CS5 (Standard Suite). The first Windows user that I updated came to me witha  weird issue.
    When he navigates to a folder with the Photoshop files, the icon shows it as being an unrecognized file type. It won't open when you click on it either. He has to right click, and open as...Photoshop CS5 in order to open it. Even when he makes changes and saves it as new it still doesn't recognize the file.
    I uninstalled CS4 from his machine, could that be causing this issue?
    Thanks,

    You *could* just reinstall the newer software...

    ACR 5 will NOT work with CS3, only with CS4.
    For CS3
    and your camera you need ACR 4.6, a nominally beta Release Candidate downloadable from Adobe Labs.
