Lightoom 4.4, Camera raw 7.4 and D800E NEF files

I am trying to get a NEF files made on a Nikon D800E to Import to Lightroom 4.4 with Camera raw 7.4. I get an error that states the following files were not imported because they could not be read.
I can import them to Photoshop CS6 and use them in photoshop but cannot find any way to get them into Lightroom. For a while my photos were partially importing and some NEF files werent on the first few tries (but subsequently did). I have updated LR, updated Camera RAW, updated the MAC operating system, and have a newer version of PS (CS6).  I have tried from the camera directly and through a card reader with multiple cards but nothing works. Help!

If you are doing a Copy or Move Import method, the “could not be read” means the DESTINATION folder in your Import panel is not writable, and so when LR tries to read the files after it has copied them to the destination, it cannot.

  • Camera raw does not read D7100 nef files [was:Ernied]

    Camera raw does not read d7100 nef files. did update...still no success.

    I suspect that the DNG converter will work for you if you use it properly. It isn't your fault, but Adobe has created a kind of a silly interface in the DNG converter. Notice that it is asking you for the folder. When you are browsing for a location within the DNG converter, choose the folder, but don't open the folder. If you do then the DNG converter will tell you there are no images to convert. If you choose the folder then the DNG converter will convert all the files within that folder.

  • Camera RAW unable to read Nikon NEF files from D3X

    I have just purchased a Nikon D3X and unable to open the Nikon NEF files with Photoshop
    Mac OSX10.4 Photoshop CS4
    I contacted Nikon support & was advised to instal ACR 5.2
    downloaded the update Camera RAW v5.2 and installed as instructed after removing old plug in & clearing cache. Still wont open NEF files
    I note on the Nikon website that the cameras supported by Camera RAW include D3 but not D3X

    >Mac OSX10.4
    Make certain that is OS 10.4.11.
    >contacted Nikon support & was advised to install ACR 5.2
    Some support!
    As Jao said, you need ACR 5.3.

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • Lightroom 3.6 Camera Raw 6.6 - Issues with NEF files

    Hello all,
    I'm sure I'm not the only person with this problem, I'm a Nikon user and when I view NEF files in Lightroom 3, before the images loads completely it looks like it did on my camera but when the loading phase is done the picture darkens and it changes, sometimes darkens, sometimes changes tones.. What is happening here and is there any way around this with NEF files?  I love Lightroom but if I can't work with NEF the way they look on my camera then I'm going to have to make the switch over to Capture NX 2 and I really don't want to....  In addition I have no problems with JPEG files so I know the issue is isolated to NEF files.  I'm also on a Mac with 10.6.7 if that makes any difference.. not sure it does though.
    Please help!!

    This is not just a characteristic of NEF files.  Adobe software and other third party software does not read the in camera settings, instead it applies default settings.  The initial image you see is probably the stored image that was processed by the camera, but it is replaced by the image rendered using the defaults from Lightroom.  The default camera profile is Adobe Standard, which does not match what you get from the camera.  Adobe has generated Camera matching profiles for Nikon and Canon cameras and a few others.  Go to Camera Calibration and select the same profile you have selected in the camera - it will have a name like Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc.  If you have other parameters set to nominal in the camera, this will be a close match to the JPG from the camera.  You can set a new default for Lightroom that will use the setting you select and it will use this when any new NEF files are first opened.  If you want the NEF file to open identical to the JPG from the camera then Nikon software is the only option.  If you were using a Canon, then Canon software would be the only option.

    I've just installed CS6 creative suite mainly for photoshop CS6. It comes with camera raw 7.0.something, but need something newer to use my canon 6d. When I download camera raw 8.5 and install the raw converter doesnt work anymore, wont even open or isnt available anymore in the plugin list. Tried to reinstall everything for a few times, but nothing helps.

    When I search for updates the raw converter doesnt get update automaticly. Frustrating, is costing me the whole morning.

    I have Photoshop CS5.1 (bought in 2011). The photoshop Camera Raw plug-in is not recognizing the format of my new Nikon D610. I updated the version of my Camera Raw plug in and am still getting this message when trying to open images in photoshop. Please help.

    This link shows that ACR 8.3 supports the Nikon D610 and 6.7.1 was the final version for CS5.
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    So you can upgrade to CS6 and ACR 8.7.1
    or using the DNG converter, convert your Nikon raw files to dng format to open in CS5.
    Here is the download link: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    or Windows: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1
    And here is a great video tutorial on how to use the converter.

  • I have a Canon 5D Mk lll/Photoshop & Bridge CS6/Camera Raw 7.1 and I still can't open the CR2 files

    I have a Canon 5D Mk lll/Photoshop & Bridge CS6/Camera Raw 7.1 and I still can't open the CR2 files on my Canon.
    Any insight/wisdom would be much appreciated. Thanks

    When you try to open in PS what happens?
    In Bridge do you see icons or thumbnails?
    Will it open in ACR in Bridge?

  • Downloaded camera Raw 8.7 and photoshop CS5 still won't run it

    I'm going to cry if CS5 keeps stuffing me around...Can't update programs for any of the CS5 suite won't explain why, just bought a nikon D750 and had to download camera raw 8.7 and photoshop still won't recognise it, so far I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still fails to update.  Any solutions out there

    Also I should add the updater does not work on CS5, so you must manually download and install them.

  • Adobe Camera Raw 6.2 and Olympus E-510 camera profile

    Hi all!
    When I open a raw file captured from my Olympus E-510 with Adobe Camera Raw 6.2 and go to Camera Calibration tab, ACR doesn't display any profile for my camera, althouth Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html) says it supports my model. The same happens at the Lens Correction tab, it doesn't display any profile for Olympus. If I open a raw file from other Camera (Nikon for example) everything is ok. Does anyone know how I'm going to fix this???
    Thanks for your time!

    You should see an Adobe Standard profile and perhaps an ACR x.x profile for your camera, but Adobe does not make Camera-centric profiles (landscape, portrait, camera neutral, etc) for most cameras unless they are Canon DSLRs, Nikon DSLRs, one Leica and a few Pentax cameras.
    On a Vista/Win7 system you can verify what models of cameras are supported by Adobe by looking for profiles in:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
    The lens profiles are in:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\LensProfiles
    There are comparable directories on Win XP.

  • Is codec 1.18 compatibile with Camera Raw 6.7 and Photoshop CS5.1?

    I'm planning my purchase of a D7100, and would like to understand the software updates that would be required to process raw files in Photoshop. My current software is: Photoshop CS5.1, Camera Raw is 6.7, Codec 1.12, and Windows 7.  The Adobe website indicates that I need to upgrade the codec to 1.18. I'm OK with that. But, will that codec work with the versions of camera raw and Photoshop that I currently have?

    I'm pretty sure that's not required for adobe camera raw to work and yes i agree with your post 5, as the nikon d7100 camera raw files require camera raw 7.4 and
    since photoshop cs5 only is compatible to camera raw 6.7, photoshop cs5 won't open those d7100 files unless you use the 7.4 dng converter to convert your raw
    files to dng copies.
    supported cameras and required versions of camera raw:

    Or your could update to photoshop cs6 or try lightroom 4.

  • Camera raw 6.6 and 7.0 preview problem  after done "click" in bridge

    Hi,
    when i update camera raw from 6.5 to 6.6 the preview can`t give me right preview after 1 adjustment in camera raw.Image apears like when we open it in camera raw and the first few seconds with the yellow exclamation mark.
    Months ago the only solution i found after several reinstals of phoshop, was to turn back to camera raw 6.5.
    Now im trying beta bridge cs6 and problem come back for me again.
    I use Nikon D3x with 14 bits ~49MB .nef files with Windows 7 64 bits .
    Is any one have same problem?And why only in 6.6 (and new camera raw 7.0) and not in 6.5?
    Thanks

    I don't know what they did, but I assume they rewrote some of the code which deals with some of the new process calculations and previewing, to be more processor-efficient.
    Lightroom doesn't use the plug-in, as far as I know. I'd guess that would need a separate update. I haven't got it. You could tell us if it's any faster.

  • How do I stop camera raw adjusting contrast and brightness automatically when I open any image

    Every time I open in image in camera raw or Photoshop it is applying an automatic contrast and brightness setting. I have tried resetting to defaults with cntrl shft del but it doesn't make a difference. It also when I just flick through thumbnails on bridge. The pics look almost like they have a cartoon like filter on them!!any ideas on how I get it all back to normal it's been great in the past . I use cs3

    Short answer, learn how to use the tool...
    As for the "auto" adjustments, are you sure that's what's happening or are the images changing based on the differences between what the camera preview and the Camera Raw preview look like? If you have indeed somehow turned on the "Auto" adjustment and saved that out as a Camera Raw default, you can go into the Camera Raw flyout menu and choose the option to Reset Camera Raw Defaults. If however you are talking about the inherent differences between the way your camera renders raw and the way Camera Raw renders it, that's an entirely different discussion...
    As for your other question, try rephrasing it as it doesn't mean a thing to me so I have no idea how to answer...

  • Camera Raw 6.0 (and Lightroom 3) extra slow, what's happening ?

    Hi,
    I'm having a very annoying issue with both CR 6.0 and LR 3 which is a very slow responsiveness in the photo previews.
    A month ago, I was using Windows XP SP3 32bit on my machine (Intel Core Duo Q6600 (4x2.57Ghz cores) - 4Gb RAM). I had Photoshop CS4 with Camera Raw 5.x and Lightroom 2. Everything was very smooth.
    Then, I moved to Windows Seven 64bit and CS5 with CR 6 and LR 3.
    Now, I have exacly the same issue I had before bying my current 4 core PC, which is :
    in Camera Raw, even scrolling the left thumbnails part is extremely slow (rendeing of image thumbnails), and appying the slightest change of a slider (even basic ones) takes about a second and sometimes two seconds to be applied to the image preview. Quite painful to use !
    Same applies to adjustments and thumbnails in LR 3.
    The thing is, the behaviour occurs even with  Canon EOS 300D RAW files which are only 6 Megapixels !
    I didn't try to go back to LR2 and CS4 to check yet, but well, looks quite surprising since LR3 was supposed to be a lot faster and responsive.
    As it is a clean install, I have the latest set of video drivers (it's a ATI Radeon X4800).
    Do you have any suggestions as to what I could do to fix this ?
    Thanks !

  • Camera Raw 3.7 And DNG 3.7

    Hi.
    I use Photoshop Cs2 on my PC using Windows XP.
    Yesterday I down loaded Adobe camera raw 3.7 and DNG 3.7.
    Now I cannot open my raw files,I get a message saying it is not the right kind of file,also when I convert my raw files to DNG they come into the bridge as icons not thumb nails.
    I wondered whether anyone can help me with this problem.
    Many thanks.

    Hmmm ... my WinXP CS2 installation behaves differently. An update via the 'Help' menu does everything automatically ... no intermediate zip file, and no quessing where the ACR plug-in goes. That is, there's a specific location for it, and the Bridge plugins folder is
    not it. But who am I to argue with ...
