Importing Nef files in lightroom

I am shooting Raw (NEF) using Nikon NX as my main editor. I have just got LR which I would like to use as my main DAM. When I tried to import my Nef files it looks like LR imports them but does not recognized any of the adjustment that I had made and save in NEF. It show the files adjusted briefly and then revert to the original aspect without the adjustments made.
Any idea ?

Yeah, well go talk to Nikon...see, Nikon NX is using NIKON's proprietary SDK...and nothing that is done in NX will show up in Lightroom because Adobe uses their Camera Raw pipeline...

Importing .NEF files into Lightroom 4.4

Hi All,
I am running lightroom 4.4 and camera raw 7.4. I can't seem to import a .NEF file. I normally shoot Canon and have no problems with the .CR2 file. The error message I get is that "The file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (1)" When I check for updates, it says that my software is up-to-date. My guess is that I need to update camera raw but I don't if I can do that wit the version of lightroom that I have. So my questions are the following: Is there a way for me to update the camera raw version without having to upgrade from LR 4.4? Is there another way that I can get this to work?
Thanks
Wesley

NOt sure which one is troubeling you.
As soon as you convert from RAW to some other file system, things are locked, so you only have the possibility to create a preset in lightroom that fits what you're expectiong to receive.
In many cases it makes more sense to shoot in jpg and get the Picture Style right in the camera, you have many options in the D810, as a D800-user I know.
The reason I upgraded to LR5 was also the change to the new D800.
You will have a better and faster workflow in LR5 with the big files and some better possibilities than in LR4 ...
The upgrade to LR5 is not as expensive as your D810 was
Many people are selling their key for less than 50$ ... I think this is quite fair and saves you a lot of time(=money) as you will be stuck in the DNG-workaroung in future for every RAW you shoot.

How do i import NEF files to lightroom 5?

I just downloaded LIghtroom 5 and tried to import my raw NEF files into it. The ones on my camera still imported with no problem, however, the ones i had previously saved to my computer using the Nikon transfer software won't open. Both files are .NEF, my camera is a D3200, already checked for updates and there are none. would really appreciate any help. Thanks.

Lightroom does't import NEF Files

I have read about others' troubles importing NEF files into lightroom and I can't seem to solve the issue. Here is my error message:
Import results
Some import operations were not performed
     The following files were not imported because they could not be read
               filename.nef
               filename.nef
               etc.
I can import files into my PC using Nikon View NX2 and then import into lightroom as a DNG but that isn't a very efficient process.
I could really use some help.
Thank you.

I have used lightroom for years on my PC and just installed it on my new iMac. I cannot import NEF files from iPhoto or from my Lacie hard drive into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help but still cannot import NEF files. What am I doing wrong?

I have always used Lightroom with a PC and now have installed Lightroom 3.6 on my new iMac. I cannot import raw (NEF) files from iPhoto (or from my Lacie drive for that matter into Lightroom. I have tried Lightroom Help to no avail. How do I import NEF files from the iMac into Lightroom?

If they are the same nef files that you were importing into your PC, see if the reason is an error message like the thread above this one. Permissions issue.

How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

Why won't Lightroom (current version) import NEF files?

I have Lightroom v. 5 current, and it fails to recognize and import .NEF files. I use a Nikon D800, and can't directly import the RAW files into Lightroom. It doesn't make sense to me that this fails to work since most instructions seem to assume it does. Perhaps I am overlooking something obvious, but I don't know what.
Appreciate any help!

You have most likely used an obsolete version of a Nikon Transfer or Nikon ViewNX to work with your NEF files. Nikon says these old versions change something in the metadata of newer Nikon files that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe products.
Either update your Nikon products to versions that are as new as your D800 camera, or quit using Nikon products to transfer and view your images.
To uncorrupt images that you’ve already transferred or viewed, a utility from this website will correct the problem:

Trouble with importing .NEF files, help please?!?!

I am trying to import my .NEF files into Lightroom and keep getting a message that pops up stating "The files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom.". I have never had a problem importing .NEF files before. Does anyone know why I keep getting this message? Help, please and thank you!

Either the NEF files are from a camera newer than your LR version – each camera must be supported explicitly, OR your NEFs have been corrupted by using new camera NEFs with older Nikon software.
So either upgrade your LR to a new version or stop using obsolete Nikon software with your NEFs. You can use the following utility to fix the corrupted caused by obsolete Nikon software:

NEF Files in Lightroom 5.7

I am running Lightroom 5.7 and want to import NEF files from a Nikon D750 directly into LR. How do I do that?

You want the Lightrtoom forum:
Photoshop Lightroom <===
Lightroom does not use the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in; it has a raw converter engine extremely similar to ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) but it's a different animal.
That Nikon camera model, the D750, has been supported since Lr 5.7. Inquire at the Lr what you are doing wrong.

Problems importing raw files into Lightroom 3.4

I've just dowloaded lightroom 3.4 and now I'm having problems importing raw files into lightroom. I havent had a problem before. Can anyone help me? My camera is a Nikon D7000.

Perhaps a few more details are required. Take a look at the FAQ "How to get help quickly"

See my reply to a later simplified version of your question. I don't think that either iPhone or iPad recognize RAW files such as NEFs. And the iPhone is not designed to be a mass storage device like a portable flash or portabel hard drive for temporary storage of files, if that's what you're after. As I mentioned in my previous reply, I have an iPad and have been experimenting with it as a tool for photography, hoping that it would be a nice travel tool for backing up and viewing photos from my Nikon dslr. But both the iPad and iPhone just are not set up to do that well. Both show photos nicely, but organization of photos is very frustrating since you can't create albums on the iPhone or iPad, but only back on your sync computer. (There is one very powerful photo organization app called SortShots, but you import photos to it and it organizes and stores the images wtihin the app not using the native photo app. It doesn't work with NEFs either.) I don't know of any RAW processing software for either device.

Why do I get an error importing .mov files in Lightroom 4.2 RC

I have Lightroom 4.2 RC on a Windows 7 desktop and laptop. Mov files from a Nikon D4 import fine on the desktop, but I get an error importing the same files on my laptop and they get skipped. My laptop is actually newer and more powerful than my desktop.

I was getting this message: "There is a problem with the video file" when attempting to import video files on Lightroom 4.1 (and after upgrading to 4.2) on Win7/64-bit.
The video files were M-JPEG/AVI and H.264/MP4.
Seeing a recommendation elsewhere, I uninstalled DivX and rebooted.
This resolved the issue for me!
Perhaps it will work for you, too, William.

I can't import raw files into lightroom

I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

I don't use nikon software. I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

Do you have Lightroom 5.3 or higher?
Did you use Nikon software at any point on these photos?

Failing to import .NEF files into iphoto

i photo will not import .NEF files. Every time I try to import a file an error message comes up saying...
The following file could not be imported. (import failed).
The .JPEG file imports straight from the camera, however the .NEF file will not import and I get this error message.
Please help me!

Is your Nikon listed here (http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html) as a Tiger compatible camera? Also have you run this update: Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 (Universal)
Do you Twango?
