I can't open Nikon D800.nef (raw) files in my Photoshop CS6 (64 bit), however, I can open .jpg files

I just purchased and installed Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) to use with my Nikon D800. However, I can't open the .nef (raw) files but the .jpg files from the same camera will open. What do I need to do to open .nef files from the D800?

Hello! By default, Photoshop CS6 cannot open the NEF from a D800, you need to have at least Camera Raw 7.1, as explained in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Go to the Help menu, and select "updates" and you'll launch the Adobe Updater that should suggest to install Camera Raw 7.2 that supports the D800, and many other cameras.

Raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

How did you install the plugin? You may want to try reinstalling it or installing the dng converter, as that is what has the camera formats. ACR 8.2 is just the plugin for the mechanics of Camera raw. Normally they should both install, but sometime the converter doesn't.

Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

Why CS6 cann't open Nikon D800E NEF raw file?

Why CS6 cann't open Nikon D800E NEF raw file?

The Nikon D800 was supported from ACR version 6.7 / 7.1. But CS6 shipped with 7.0, so if you've never updated ACR (or reinstalled from disc), they won't open.
Other than that - have you used an older version of Nikon Transfer or View NX? These will corrupt the NEF header so that ACR can't read them.
There's a fix here: http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html

How to open Nikon D610 NEF (RAW) in iPhoto 11 on Mac Os 10.6

Is there a way to open Nikon D610 NEF (RAW) in iPhoto 11 on Mac Os 10.6 ?
Thank you.

The RAW support for the Camera is built on Mt. Lion, see:
OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
and requires *Aperture version 3.4.5 or later, or iPhoto version 9.4.3 or later. You'll need at least to upgrade to Lion, to be able to run these versions of iPhoto or Aperture.
How about installing a newer MacOS X version on a separate disk? This way you can keep Rosetta, but upgrade your photo library to a newer MacoS X version?

CS6 Camera Raw 7.4 "will not open" compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7)

CS6 camera raw 7.4 "will not open" the compatible D800 NEF Raw files (Win7). D300 NEF files open OK.
I seem to remember seeing an article that stated i would have to uninstall and re-install CS6 Photoshop completely and re-install again. However I cannot find this article now.
If the above is true, having PS version CS4 with update CS5 & 6 installed, would i have to remove all PS versions.
Photoshop error message just states download latetest software version, which i have done with ACR 7.4. I have also tried ACR 8 which did open file either.
Also when ACR8 is hosted by Photoshop CS6, it does not offer any of the new features described in Photoshop CC marketing materials for ACR8 (Re: DPReview mag) so i returned to 7.4
Adobe DNG runs OK but i would rather deal with the original file in ACR rather than adding an additional step with more files to keep track of.
Is there a way of uninstalling all versions of ACR, cleaning system and re-installing ACR, assuming the fault lies with ACR?
Anyone have any answers?

Half an hour after posting this query (in the wrong forum) I resolved the issue. The fault lies with Nikon Transfer.
Nikon Transfer corrupts the D800 NEF files. Apparently Nikon Transfer is well known for causing errors.
Drag & dropping the files direct from the memory card onto your hard drive and everything works fine.

Camera Raw (7.0.0.308) doesn't open Nikon D800 NEF file after re-installing Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6 x64) Help!

Well, the title sort of sums it up. Ohyeah, and updater tells me photoshop is up to date.
I had this version of photoshop running for about a year with no problems, after doing a clean instal of my macbook an re-installing of photoshop CS6, camera raw doesn't open my D800's files anymore.
All help is appreciated! Thanks!

What OS are you running? Perhaps it is too old to be updated to the latest ACR plug-in.
If it turns out that you need to manually install the plug-in, due to the age of your OS, you can try the process described, here, which is for rolling back ACR 8.4 to ACR 8.3, but the same thing would work to replace ACR 7.0 with ACR 8.3:

How do I set up Premiere Elements 12 to open Nikon D810 NEF, RAW files?

I'm running a Windows 8.1 computer with Premiere Elements 12. New Nikon D810 RAW files will not open in program. Is there a plug-in or other fix for this?

gsorozan
You cannot import Nikon D810 nef files into Premiere Elements 12. For that you need to have Camera Raw at least 8.6 which is supported by Premiere Elements 13. So, if you want to import Nikon D810 nef files into Premiere Elements, you need Premiere Elements 13.
However, if you convert your Nikon D810 nef files into dng files with the DNG 8.6 converter, you can import those dng files into your Premiere Elements 12.
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.6

I road tested the above to confirm. It worked for me. Please let us know if the above worked for you.
Thank you.

How can I open Nikon D5300 NEF RAW files in the DNG converter?

I have the latest version of the DNG converter, but it won't recognize my NEF files. I have a Nikon D5300, which is on the list of supported cameras. I have a 64 bit W7 computer.

You don't open in the DNG converter. You use it to batch convert, folder by folder, and the converted copies can then be opened in the ACR version you have.
Two things to watch: One, don't try to convert single files, it won't work. The DNG converter operates on folders. Two, set the compatibility level to the ACR version you have.
If it still doesn't work, the files may have been corrupted by an early version of Nikon Transfer (later versions fixed). There is a utility to "uncorrupt" them if that's the case (Google it).

Can't open Nikon D80 nef (raw) files in Editor

I installed the 3.7 plugin and I now am able to view my files in the organizer but as soon as I try to edit them I get an error message in editor (my copy is in french but loosely translated it says it does not recognize the file) I believe I followed the instructions for installing the plugin correctly, otherwise I wouldn't of been able to see my files in the organizer.
Any suggestions?

Sounds like you are using Elements? If so, you're more likely to get a response if you post in the Photoshop Elements forum:

Problem opening photos with camera raw 7.1 with Photoshop CS6

I am using Windows 7 32 bit system with 4GB ram and graphics accelerator.
I have Photoshop CS5.1 installed in the same system at it works perfectly.
What happens is when I use the B+W function, I get an error message saying that I have not enough ram.
After that, when I open the next photo with Camera Raw, the raw image will not open.
I have already maximised the Ram that Photoshop can use to 1.7GB and there is more than enough space in my scratch disk.
Anyone can tell me what the problem is?

Hi Noel,
Thanks for your reply.
Just to clarify.
I applied B+W layer adjustment on my photos. It is part of an automated set of actions which I apply to all my photos. I adjust the B&W layer to 50% overlay. When I click on the B&W adjustment layer, there is an error message that tells me I have not enough ram. Once that happens, when I open the next photo in raw, I don't see the new photo but only the frame of the camera raw though which I see my photoshop desktop.
It doesn't occur with the first few photos. But by the 3rd or 4th it happens.
I will adjust it to 50% and see what happens.

Aperture 3.4.1 cannot open my Nikon d800 NEF files?

Before updating to Aperture 3.4.1 i had no Problems to work with my Nikon d800-NEF-Files. Now, after updating, I cannot open the D800 Files. All other NEFs (D700,D7000,D3s) are working.
I tried to reinstall RAW 3.11, but that doesnt work.
What else can I do?
Thanks for a good answer
