Import raw nikon d7000 photos?

Hi,
I'm running iPhoto 11 version 9.1.5 (most current version) and Lion, and am trying to import images from the SDHC card from a Nikon D7000 camera. It's not working; I get this error "The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format".
From elsewhere in these forums and Apple's documentation, it appears that the D7000 is supported by iPhoto. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

Yes it should work.
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    Not wrong?
    Let us have a look at the error message:
    "The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
    This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
    No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
    It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
    A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

  • Importing from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom

    Lightroom does not seem to recognize my Nikon D7000. I connect the camera, open LR, and nothing happens. I can click Import, but it doesn't recognize the device. The D7000 comes with Nikon's ViewNX2 software which they want you to use for import. Do I really need to use that to import photos from the camera, then import them from ViewNX2 into LR? That seems like a pain. I just upgraded to LR 3.6 so I don't think that's the issue.
    Thanks for any help!

    Carrie,
    3.6 will read your D7000 files. In general it's best to use a card reader, but the camera should work. I'm not familiar with the D7000, but my D300 has two modes for USB: PTP and Mass Storage. The camera has to be set to Mass Storage to read images from it. Your camera may be the same.
    If that isn't the case, try using Windows Explorer or Mac's Finder to drag and drop your pictures from the camera to your hard disk and then import from there.
    Let us know how it goes.

  • Camera raw Nikon D7000

    Hi, I am in the UK. Will my Nikon D7000 raw files be opened in PSE 9 without having to downolad a plug-in or an upgrade? I have PSE 8 and it won't open the files. Thanks, ot

    You need to update to PSE9 as your camera model is not supported in earlier versions
    N.B. If you are not wishing to upgrade to PSE9 - you can use the freely available DNG converter 6.3 and then use Elements to open and edit the DNG files. It’s recommended you keep your original raw files as back-up as they can always be read by your camera software.

  • Import RAW settings to photo

    Hello
    The new photo app seems good enough for me to try and import my lightroom library to. But there's a problem:
    All my pictures are RAW, and I want them to stay that way. I've tried to import the pictures with and without the .xmp file with no luck.
    I found something in the help section that said I should press the "rework RAW" (or whatever it's called in english), just below "return to original" when you right click the image in edit view. But the button is greyed out. And even if it would work it only works on one picture at a time, which is in no way fast enough.
    So my question is:
    Is it possible to easily import my RAW pictures from lightroom to photo, with all the changes I've made?

    I find it difficult to believe that you will find Photos to be sufficient after using Lightroom. The capabilities are miles apart.
    Anyway: No it's not. Photos will export IPTC metadata with Masters but it will not import XMP. Not could it, your XMP file will refer to tools and settings simply not available in Photos.

  • Importing raw into photos for mac

    trying to get to grips with photos now aperture scrapped

    <<There doesn't seem to be any facility for this>>
    This is basically correct.  You can import RAW files to photos, but the standard RAW filter will be applied and you can only edit the image with the included, simple-minded Photos editor.  You can chose in the editor whether to use the JPG or RAW file as the master, but it's unclear which file is exported or shared when you try to send it somewhere else.  Sometimes it works but other times the exported image looks like the original unedited JPG.  I've sort of abandoned shooting in RAW for the moment unless I'm in a situation where I know I will need to do RAW editing in Photoshop.  At minimum there seems to point in importing the RAW file into Photos as it just makes the library bigger without any appreciable benefit, so if I do shoot in JPG/RAW, I just import the JPG files to Photos and edit the RAW files with Photoshop from the Finder folders.
    You can make suggestions to Apple for product enhancements at the Photos for Mac suspport site.  We'll see if Apple listens to the users or continues to try to support only the lowest common denominator casual photographers.

  • Lightroom 5 won't import RAW files from Nikon D7000

    Since the last two updates of Lightroom 5 I cannot import any RAW files from a Nikon D7000. I have imported thousands of photos previously in RAW from the same camera, and even iPhoto has no issues importing them. I just get an error every time, even though it shows a preview of the photos on the card.

    What error are you seeing when you try to import?

    As DJ said, this could be your problem.  If you still have the photos on the card transfer them WITHOUT using Nikon Transfer (then I would delete Nikon Transfer so I wouldn't use it again).  If you don't have the originals than this may help.

  • Which Raw plug-in using Nikon D7000 and Photoshop Elements 7 for importing NEF files?

    Cannot import NEF files from Nikon D7000.
    Which Raw plug-in is avalible for Adobe Photoshop Elements 7? According to Help sites version 6.3 is needed, But is it kompatible with Elements /??
    Please help!

    It’s not possible to update PSE7 beyond ACR 5.5. You have two alternatives:
    1) Upgrade to PSE 10. 2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups)

  • Import Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom 3

    If I understand correctly I must upgrade to Lightroom 4.3 or get a converter in order to import my Raw files from Nikon D7000 into Lightroom?
    Not sure if I understand it correct?  Which is the best way?

    I use LR 3.6 with the latest updates for camera raw for this version, I believe it's 6.7, and my D7000 and its NEF's were correct handled.
    Did nothing else as install the program, update every time there was an update and in September when I bought the D7000 LR worked fine with his NEF's. Before I had a D40x which was als correctly handled.

    When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.

  • Elements 9 does not accept or process RAW photo images taken with a Nikon D7000.

    Adobe elements 9 does not accept or process RAW photo images taken with a Nikon D7000. I called support for a download patch and they said I had to purchase a support package or essentially purchase Elements 10. I can't believe that Adobe would not have a download patch for this problem as my elements 9 is not very old. When I try to do the updates Adobe says the serial number of the elements 9 is not accepted for download or support even though I purchased it and registered it with Adobe.
    Is there any solution to this?
    Thanks.

    Thank you but still having a problem. I go to the edit menu>>help>>update>>check for updates and an update to 9.03 comes up as the only update, no camera raw update. It starts to download and then stops and says to close organizer and/or editor then starts back up and stops again saying "error installing this update. Close and contact customer support". When I called customer support earlier that's when they said they don't support 9 only v. 10 and did I want to buy support or a new program v10 to get camera raw processing for the Nikon D7000 RAW. Apparently I'm doing something wrong in the update procedure but don't know what. The camera raw version is 6.5 in my elements and understand that camera raw v. 6.7 is the update to process the images. Any ideas? If I uninstall and reinstall does the serial number still work on the reinstall?
    Thanks for help.

  • I have a new Mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW photos from my Nikon d90 they come in with an .NEF extension.  I need to install a converter but cannot find one.

    I have a new mac.  I installed my Bridge CS4 and Photoshop CS4 that I ran on my old mac.  When I import RAW pics from my Nikon D90 they come in with the extension of .NEF.  Apparently this is not a readable form for Bridge as the picture does not appear.  I believe I need a converter to convert .NEF to .dng but I can't find one.  Any ideas?

    You do not need to convert to DNG.
    The NEFs from your camera model have been supported since ACR 4.6 and 5.1.
    What you need to do is update your ACR plug-in to version 5.7, the latest and last version for CS4.  Right now, you are probably on ACR 5.0, the version supplied with the original release of Photoshop CS4.
    Be aware that the Adobe updater is extremely unreliable when it comes to CS5, so that you must do the update manually.  There are detailed instructions on the ACR 5.7 plug-in download page.  You MUST follow those instructions to the letter.
