I need to convert Nikon D7000 Camera NEF files.  I have a Mac )SX 10.6.8 & Adobe CS4.

I just bought a Nikon D7000 camera & need to convert Nikon RAWS (NEF) files & they are not recognized by my Adobe CS4 on my Mac 0sX 10.6.8
Do I need to update to CS5 or CS6.  Also, would like the new software to allow me to still convert older pre-existing RAWS that are in my photo archives.

Don't worry.  Every newly supported camera model in any given version of Adobe Camera Raw will be supported in ALL subsequent versions of ACR.
The very last version of ACR that will work with CS4 is 5.7.
If your camera in not supported by ACR 5.7, you need to upgrade your version of Photoshop, or download and use the free stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw files to raw DNGs first.  Always download the latest versions of said free stand-alone Adobe DNG Converter (3 or 4 per year), currently DNG Converter 7.1.  DNGs can be processed with any version of ACR starting with version 2.4.
To see what was the first version of ACR to support your camera model was see:

  • I have done the latest updates on my photoshop, it is version 14.2.1. What I try to open a file from my Nikon D800 camera NEF file, I get a message saying Photoshop cannot open this file.Can anyone help me with this?

    The message says Ïf you are attempting to open a RAW file, make sure you have the latest update installed. I have completed all the latest updates today but still get this message.

    Sorry to hear your Adobe experience has been less than stellar.  I'll try to help...
    1.  Photoshop 14.2.1 is now two releases out of date.  You might want to go to your Creative Cloud application and ask it to install Photoshop CC (2014).  Earlier this year Adobe released 2014.0 as a separate install that can live side by side with 14.2.1.  Then just a few days ago they released 2014.1 as an in-place upgrade to 2014.0.
    2.  You may be able to update Camera Raw directly to version 8.6 by a link from this page:
    Keeping Photoshop Up-To-Date
    Best of luck to you.  Please let us know here if these things help.

  • I reinstalled photoshop CS5 on my new laptop . I'm unable to update camera Raw to add Nikon D7000 camera .

    I have reinstalled Photoshop CS5 extened on my new Laptop . I had deactivated and un installed the program from my pc first .I cannot update camera raw to include my Nikon D7000 camera . I now have hundreds of NEF Raw files which I cannot open in Photoshop .

    Hi
    Thanks for the info . The problem is it appears to me that you can only convert to dng while importing from the camera in bridge . My files have been imported and I can't see how to convert . As adobe don't support CS5 I think I'm snookered .
    Thanks

  • Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software?

    Hello,
    Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software. Read where folks are adjusting setting in LR4 for Nikon camera, but need help in how please. Also, perhaps there is a better way?
    thanks,

    There is now another way, dunno if you'll consider it better or not :
    ISO Detailer now has infrastructure for supporting camera settings emulation.
    Implemented so far (Nikon only):
    * Picture Control Name (e.g. Neutral, Vivid, ... ) -> Camera Calibration Profile.
    * Active D-Lighting -> Lr basic adjustments.
    If you want other stuff, you'll have to come up with it yourself, by editing a table in lua text format (or supply the information for me to do it).
    Reminder: Ottomanic Importer can do this emulation during import, ISO Detailer is for doing it after import.

  • Lightroom doesn't read Nikon D700's nef files Help!

    Anyone know a way to get Nikon's D700 nef files into Lightroom 2 ? The only way I can even get an image in there is to convert it to a tiff in Nikon's Capture NX2 and export it. Is Adobe going to provide an update for this any time soon? I have the Nikon NX2 program for a 60 day free trial. I really don't want to purchase or switch to it. Solutions anyone?
    (I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.)

    I have a D700 & LR2 and all works fine (in that area that is...).
    I did nothing extra, so I dont know what to say
    Except Im on a macpro, but that shouldnt make a difference. Should it?
    Latest Adobe Raw plug maybe? Good luck..sorry i cant help
    (maybe you know this already, but its normal for now, that you dont see them on the desktop/in preview or anything like that, apple is not ready yet..)

  • Does Adobe photoshop lightroom 5 support Nikon D 600 NEF files

    Does Adobe photoshop lightroom 5 support Nikon D 6oo NEF files ?

    Sorry to butt in. We used to double-shoot, too, but after a couple of years we discovered it was unnecessary when using both Aperture and Lightroom. Your workflow will be different from ours of course, and one does what one needs to do. We found the duplicate images were tedious and, even though they were quite small compared to the NEFs, they occupied a lot of space that was needlessly redundant. The Mac (or PC) is so instantly responsive that the NEF is offered up quickly so the jpg has no real purpose.

  • I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files with CS6 under Windows 8.1?

    I bought a new PC so I could use Photoshop CS6 more efficiently.  However, after I installed CS6, I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files under Windows 8.1.  I've tried updating CS6, but nothing seems to work.

    First, I hadto load the most recent version of  the Adobe Application Manager.  Then I could see all of the CS6 Updates including the most recent Camera Raw update.  
    I had to run one update at a time for it to work correctly.  
    But now I'm cooking with gas.
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Why does photoshop 12 editor open my Nikon D90 Camera RAW files only as jpegs???

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    What makes you think that the raw files are being opened as JPGs?
    Do you shoot RAW+JPG and opening the JPG files bt mistake?
    If you are opening a RAW (NEF) file and it doesn't show the Camera Raw screen but goes straight into the editor then it may be that your screen resolution is too low.
    What is your screen resolution?

  • Need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files from Windows XP to PDF for Windows 7.

    I need to convert PageMaker 6.5 Plus files into PDF from a Windows XP operating system to a Windows 7 operating system. It tells me I need a postscript printer. I don't have a postscript printer and really don't want to print them. I just want to transfer the files from Windows XP to Windows 7. Help!!

    No, it isn't telling you that you need a PostScript printer. It's telling you that you need a PostScript printer DRIVER, which is software, not a printer.
    Use the Add Printer function to add an Apple LaserWriter IINTX. That's a PostScript printer. Then try again.
    I don't quite understand the Windows 7 connection, though. What are you hoping to achieve by making a PDF. You WON'T be able to edit them, if that's the idea.

  • New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

    New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.  Is there a fix?  Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

    I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
    Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

  • Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.

    Thank you for your response.
    I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
    In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file."

  • HT3946 How do you get Nikon D600 camera  raw files to download INTO Apeture 3

    The D600 is a new camera. There should be an update in the near future to accommodate it.

  • Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

    Can photoshop convert .jpg to camera raw file?

    And even if you could, it wouldn't be worth it.  Raw files are 12-bit (or more) with much higher dymanic range than jpegs.  The result is that (in the original raw file) you have flexibility to change white balance, change tone curve, recover detail from highlights and shadows in ways you can't with 8-bit (usually lossy-compressed) data in jpegs.  But having thrown that extra information away to create a jpeg, you can't get it back.  It would technically be possible to convert that jpeg data into raw format, but you would gain nothing by doing so and end up with a file much larger than the jpeg.  In fact if this theoretical conversion went the whole way to re-create a Bayer sensor array of data, you'd be throwing away resolution. 

  • When will Adobe release the update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?

    when will Adobe release the Lightroom update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?

    In the mean time, or if it doesn't make it into LR 5.3 and you like techy stuff, see http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52616096 for how to patch the exif of Df NEFs to look like D4 NEFs, as the presumption is that the sensor is identical. 
    Warning: take note of the advice in that thread to make backups of your NEFs first.  Second warning: read the whole thread.  In the first post he says Exiftool when he means Exifchanger.

    For the D600 NEF's you have two alternatives: (1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)  Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3  Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3  You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial: You Tube click here for DNG Converter tutorial
