IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
Any help gratefully received

David
What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?

  • I am unable to import NEF RAW files into PSE10 from Nikon d600

    How can I find out what version of Camera RAW my PSE10 is currently using and how can I get an edition which will support this. Strangely enough I also have Lightroom 4.3 on same PC and it does import NEF from D600, but I want to be able to bring them directly into PSE10 as well.
    Any help would be appreciated
    PS - My PC is a Windows 7 64 bit operating system

    Michel
    Thanks for the response.
    I had downloaded  ACR 7.3 separately but there followed some confusion because I found a "Camera Raw.8bi" file in 3 different locations on my windows 7 64 bit PC
    I found it in
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 10\APD\Photo Downloader\plugins
    C:\Program Files\Common files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 10\File Formats
    Eventually I found this location
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 10\File Formats
    and if I swapped in Version 7.3 here ... now the PSE10 ORGANIZER can read in the NEF files into the Catalog and I can see the thumbnails
    However when I try to edit one of those files I got an error message - "unable to use the Camera Raw plugin - it is not compatable with this version of Photoshop Elements"
    ... which confirms what you say
    With the old version that was (is now back) on disk - version 6.7.0.339 the downloader actually copied the NEF files to disk but woulod not take them into the organizer even.
    Final Question - Will a simple upgrade to PSE11 from PSE10 do it for me ? will it bring ACR 7.3 with it and place it into the correct location on disk or must I keep my downloaded ACR 7.3 and place the file after a PSE11 upgrade.

  • Cant import NEF RAW images into Photoshop Elements 9.

    before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
    i took the images with the Nikon D3200 i NEF RAW format.
    but photoshop kept on saying that the format was not supported, i was opening them up through FILE, OPEN, then i was browsing for the photos, but it would keep ion saying that the file was not supported.
    but then i saw some where that you ha to open the image up through OPEN AS, so i did it that way, and for a moment it looked like it was working but then photoshop elements 9 crashed and it said it couldnt open up the image due to problem, can someone help me.
    for the time being i will just use the JPEG images because i took and NEF RAW image and a JPEG image at the same time, which later on i will just replace the image with the NEF RAW image when i get it to work.
    but until then cam some one help me try to get it to work, thank you.

    before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
    The problem is that PSE9 will not support the version of camera raw that is needed for D3200 RAW files.
    To make use of these D3200 RAW files, you need to download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.2) and then use that software to convert the RAW to DNG.
    Alternatively, you could purchase PSE 12, and then your D3200 RAW files will open properly without need for a converter.

  • Can't import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6

    unable to import Canon G12 RAW images into iPhoto 6.0.6 (Mac OS-X (10.5.8) - any ideas?

    You'll need to install the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.5 - Search the Support/Downloads site for that.
    It still may not work. Iphoto 6 is an elderly piece of software now and predates your camera by several years. If it doesn't work you'll need to update to iPhoto 09 or later.

  • Importing Photoshop RAW images into Aperture

    When I import Photoshop RAW images that I have made adjustments to, into my Aperture library, they show up as the original RAW files and not with my adjustments. Is there a way to get the RAW adjustments imported as well.
    The only reason I need to import them into Aperture is to post them in a web gallery. Or is there a way to create a ME web gallery directly from Photoshop files? How about creating a ME web gallery directly from Lightroom? Anybody have a clue?)
    (Btw, in attemtpting to research this topic, I find I am totally unable to do a search of the discussions. Even with a search word like "Aperture", I get no messages. Not matter what search word I enter I get no messages found. ???)
    Thanks!
    Jim

    Thanks for the reply Allen.
    I am saving them all as TIFFS now. I was just trying to avoid that time-consuming step. I do not really need them as TIFFS right now. It is to show edited RAW files to a client. Later, when selections are made, I would save that much smaller number of images as TIFFS. But it seems that there is no other way to import the RAW files with the edits into Aperture.
    I used to create all of my web albums for clients in PS. But once I got a .mac account, I love and prefer the look of the .mac web galleries. But of course that necessitated importing all my PS files into either iPhoto (not an option) or Aperture. But can these PS web galleries be exported to a .mac web gallery?
    Thanks!

  • Incorrect colors after importing a RAW image into LR

    I shoot in RAW mode using Canon EOS 400D.
    After importing RAW images into LR, EVERY image I shot gets oversaturated with green-yellow colors. If I open same image in C1 Pro colors look fine.
    If I change shooting mode on my camera to JPG (using sRGB color space) and import image into LR, colors look same as on RAW image in C1 Pro. All settings in LR and C1 Pro are set to default.
    My guess is that LR applies wrong (camera?) profile when it imports a RAW image. I don't think it's a difference in RAW converters, because the difference in colors is really huge.
    In the Camera Calibration panel I see ACR 3.6 profile selected and all settings are set to 0. Using sliders I can correct colors on image, but I failed to make a generic preset that could be applied on all imported RAW images.
    My monitor (Samsung 940BF) is setup to use manufacturer ICC profile. I tried to change it to sRGB or Adobe RGB, it doesn't help. I'm running Windows XP SP2.
    Any thoughts on how to return colors back to normal?
    Here are 2 examples of the same image converted by:
    1. LR
    [url=http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img1258lightroomsmallcp7.jpg][img]http://img 263.imageshack.us/img263/8411/img1258lightroomsmallcp7.th.jpg[/img][/url]
    2. C1 Pro
    [url=http://img156.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img1258captureonesmallcz2.jpg][img]http://im g156.imageshack.us/img156/9339/img1258captureonesmallcz2.th.jpg[/img][/url]

    Morey,
    there is no such options as "import settings into LR" you have to put the ACR-settings-file into the "~/Library/Adobe Lightroom/Develop Presets" folder (on a Mac). I think in the end its faster to just copy the numbers manually from ACR and save the preset from within LR.
    No, I don't think that calibrating has anything to do with profiles, at least not from what I understand as a profile (like sRGB or ProPhoto profile). It is kind of changing the stored default calibration values for a given camera type (something which one of course could also call a profile). It is definitive not like doing any double profiling or so.
    @Lee Jay,
    on different forums you can find values for ACR camera calibration of different cameras, googling should reveal some. Problem is that the numbers for the calibration change with the lens and, more important, there seems to be a lot of leeway regarding the behaviour of individual cameras of the same model. I found a lot of numbers on the net which didn't work with my D70, in the end I had to calibrate it myself. But your experience might differ, so I would suggest that you just have a look at what google offers.
    One last thing: You don't need to buy a PS version which is compatible with ACR 3.7 or 4.0. You can use the 30 day trial version of PS for this. Afterall you most probably only need to calibrate each camera once and I doubt that Adobe disapproves this use of a trial version as long as it helps to sell LR. ;-)
    Bye,
    Carsten

  • How can i import raw files into iphoto from my Nikon D300?

    Just got a Nikon D300, and it will import jpg and tff, but not raw (nef) files-i prefer iphoto to their software- Nikon says to try talking to apple to find a way to do it- does anyone know any info that can help? I need to decide if I am keeping the camera-from other posts it doesn't look like buying aperture will help either- thanks.

    I would not ditch a camera because of this! If you like the camera, there will always be a way to import Canikon RAW files, though you may need to do some upgrading, and it may take some time for Apple to support a new camera.

  • Importing RAW images on Yosemite from Nikon D3200

    From the time i have upgraded to Yosemite, importing RAW images from the Nikon D3200 has come very difficult. The images come black and or pixelated and it then hangs the computer. I have to restart the mac, and then click on each 'black' image and click edit. I have update the Digital Camera RAW compatibility update to the latest but that has not solved the issue.

    Either upgrade to Lr 4.x, or convert your D600 files to DNG, which Lr 3 can process.

  • Importing RAW images into iPhoto

    Hi there, I have a macbook with snow leopard running iPhoto 08 and it won't import RAW images from my new Canon T5i. Gets unrecognizable file format error. The T5i is on the Apple list of supported cameras for RAW imports and iPhoto 08 supports RAW (and I checked the RAW box in preferences). Any ideas? thanks!

    thanks so much, i spent hours trying to get an answer and this was my last shot! appreciate

  • Recent issues downloading RAW images to iPhoto from EOS 40D

    Hi,
    I've been using iPhoto to process RAW images from my EOS 40D for ages without any issues, but I'm now getting an error message saying it can't import the files from the camera as they are in an unknown format. I've reinstalled iPhoto, but no change. I can't recall the last update to iPhoto, but I get the feeling it was fairly recent, and this may coincide with that. Is anyone else having the same problem, or has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks

    What version of iPhoto? What version of the OS?
    Shooting Raw? sRaw?
    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?

  • I have a Canon EOS T2i Camera and I want to import the RAW images into Aperture.  How do I import them as RAW images instead of jpeg ?

    How do I import RAW images from my Canon EOS T2i camera into Aperture and have them show up as RAW images and not jpeg images?

    See the list of supported raw formats:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    The footnote ** for the cameras  EOS Rebel T2i EF-S / 550D / Kiss X4**  says, that the raw format is only supported with Aperture 3. So you will have to upgrade to Aperture 3, to be able to import the raw from from your camera.

  • Can't see RAW images in Preview of Nikon D80

    When I connect camera, Import window shows icons of images on camera.
    Jpgs are visible as photographs; Raw images are just icon placeholders.
    How can I see which Raw images to import?

    Jack
    Some of the answers to your original question must have well and truly confused you by now. Now here's my contribution:
    (a) you don't need to shoot RAW + JPG's in order for a preview to be displayed. Just by shooting RAW you are also in fact creating a very small JPG image which is embedded into the file and which needs additional software in order to extract it. It is this small embedded JPG file that Lightroom uses in it's preview. To all intents and purposes you can forget all about it.
    (b) whether or not the fact that you are not seeing a preview image on attempting to import is down to not using a Card Reader or not I can't say - I only ever use a Card Reader. It might well be worth your while trying, not only is it more reliable but it is also faster. But just to reiterate - you DON'T need to shoot RAW + JPG to see a preview image. Where this idea came from I have no idea - I have never ever shot RAW and JPG together and have ALWAYS got a preview image.
    Marcos
    I also have EOS Utility installed (on both Laptop and Desktop PC) and as far as I can ascertain the update to v1.1 has not had any effect, either to LR or EOS Utility. If there is a problem with placements as opposed to thumbnail images then the problem lies elsewhere in all probability.

  • 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 do I not import RAW files into iPhoto

    I shoot RAW + Jpeg with my cameras... Up until a recent upgrade to Mavericks... I would put the SD card in the iMac and it would import all the JPEGs, and then say something like 75 files could not be downloaded.
    Those were the large RAW files and I would then just move them to an External Hard-drive and use Lightroom and Canon's DPP to edit them.
    After the OS upgrade the RAW and JPEGs now both import into iPhoto and onto the Mac Hard-drive.
    I can't seem to find a way to not import the RAW file into iPhoto. Is there something I am missing?   I do not want those large RAW files wasting space on the mac, and I have notice iPhoto is really slow since the upgrade.  
    Thanks for any help

    A. To move an iPhoto Library:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
    B. iPhoto and Raw
    1. The Raw processing engine in iPhoto the same one used in Aperture, but with less fine control. (Think of the differences between Word and TextEdit, iMovie and Final Cut).
    2. Processing Raw in a 3rd Party Application
    You can also process your Raw with a 3rd Party app like ACR or Photoshop. But iPhoto does not handle this gracefully and it's a bit of a kludge.
    First off set your preferred app as an external editor in iPhoto:
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Note that iPhoto sends a copy+ of the file to Photoshop, so when you save be sure to use the Save command, not Save As... If you use Save As then you're creating a new file and iPhoto has no way of knowing about this new file. iPhoto is preserving your original anyway.
    Next: In the iPhoto Preferences -> Advanced, elect to use Raw with your External editor:
    Now when you go to edit the Raw it will be sent to your external editor.
    Now for the kludge:
    You cannot save a Raw. The work you do must be output to a new file, in a new format (jepg, tiff, whatever). However, as the External Editor is making this new file iPhoto has no knowledge of its existence. Therefore you must save it to the desktop and then import it back to iPhoto as a new file.
    This means that you will have your Original Raw and the processed version in iPhoto but they will not be recognised as version and original. iPhoto will see them as two separate shots.
    Further - and this is quite a consideration: Lightroom is not an editor. Like iPhoto it's a database app and images need to be imported, processed and exported from it. It occupies the same place in the workflow (manager/non-destructive processing) as iPhoto does so in makes zero sense to use both...

  • Importing RAW photos into iPhoto 6

    I recently upgraded to iLife '06 for the sole purpose of working with RAW photos. I kept getting error message "Unreadable file(s)", so I thought i'd upgrade to OS 10.4.5. Still I receive the same error message. I can click on the file and see it's profile and a thumbnail by using "Get Info", but I cannot import the RAW files into iPhoto 6 at all. Online and phone tech support keeps telling me to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as it may have something to do with deleted RAW photo in the Library. Well, I even tried to import these same RAW photos on a friend's brand-spankin'-new G5, which only had 10 photos in his Library and no deleted photo at all, but sadly this was to no avail. The same error message comes up when trying to import.
    Background; the camera used is supported by iPhoto 6 (Nikon e5700), and the files are not corrupted as far as i can tell. I was able to import jpegs from the same camera card at the same time I attempted to import the RAW pix.

    Solved: This response has solved my problem completely.
    Actually, only Apple's engineering staff can solve my issue, but you answered the question as completely as possible. All that time on the phone and on the chat support and no one could give me that straight answer. Sad to think I upgraded iLife and my OS for the sole purpose of reading RAW photos from a camera they claimed to have supported on their own website. Someone at Apple better get on the stick.
