My Photoshop CS3 Nikon D3200 raw files

Hi! My Photoshop CS3 is not opening my Nikon D3200 raw files. What I have to do?

You will never be able to open those files directly in CS3. There will be no more updates for that old version.
That camera was first supported in ACR 7.1, which needs at least Photoshop CS6 to run.
Look for, download, install and run the free, standalone Adobe DNG Converter 8.5 on the folder(s) containing your raw NEF files to convert them to raw DNGs which you can run on your current version of Photoshop.

Does Elements 10 support the Nikon D3200 RAW Files?

Does Elements 10 support the Nikon D3200 RAW Files?

Not yet. You need to wait for the next update. It's already been added to CS6 and Lightroom 4; so it should follow soon.
If you can't wait and convert from NEF to DNG you can use PSE10 but always keep your originals as back-up and incase you need to use Nikon software.

Photoshop CS6 Doesn't Work with Nikon D3200 Raw Files

I downloaded the trial version and it won't read these files.
So I downloaded the 7.1 Raw Plugin and I get the error message "Update Failed, Adobe Application Manager May Be Damaged..."
So I downloaded Application Manager and reinstalled it.
Still get the same error message.
Frustrating, I bought a new camera for production work, so many problems with Adobe software....

Uninstall your programs, run the Creative Suite Cleaner Tool, reinstall and try to update again.

Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

Nikon encrypts RAW file data
ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
(Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
<IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

I recently tried CS6 Suite. Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4. However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4. This did not fix the problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Does Photoshop CS6 support Nikon D810 raw files?

Does Photoshop CS6 support Nikon D810 raw files? Photoshop won't allow me to open the raw files and Bridge won't display the files either. I tried to download the camera raw plug-in 8.6 but read somewhere that Photoshop CS6 doesn't support it? HELP!!!

It should. The D810 had support since version 8.6. (A relative newcomer.) Did you use Help > Updates on the menu bar?
Take note that the updates for Camera Raw in CS6 only supports updates for cameras and nothing more. You won't get any of the new features inherent in the versions for Photoshop CC (like the filter brush in the Graduated Filter).

Photoshop elements 10 won't open up Nikon d4s RAW files

Photoshop elements 10 will not open up my RAW files from my new Nikon D4S. My Nikon d700 RAW files tranfers fine. I have updated my Camera RAW to 6.7 but it still does not open. I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data. Is there anything else I can do or another update out there?

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Elements 10 ships with Camera Raw 6.4.1 and is compatible up to Camera Raw 6.7. Nothing after that.
The D700 requires Camera Raw 5.1 or later so Elements 10 can read those Raw files.
The D4S requires Camera Raw 8.4 or later so Elements 10 will never be able to read those Raw files.
Your choices are to convert the D4S Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 10. Or upgrade to Elements 12.
I do not want to convert my NEF files to DNG because you lose data.
Where did you get that information from? What kind of data do you lose?

When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?

Hello,
When does Photoshop cc supports the raw files wich are coming from the Nikon D5500 ?
Iam a very happy user of Photoshop, specially for my raw files... i find it frustrated that i can't work on my files for now..
Greatings Danny

The D5500 was just released and Adobe is working on support. Cannot say how long for sure, but it should be within a month or two. Meanwhile, you could shoot in NEF+JPEG and set Camera Raw to open your JPEGs as well. Not as much data, but will be better than nothing..

When is Photoshop going to support RAW files for the new Nikon D750?

When is Photoshop going to support RAW files for the new Nikon D750?

You can always monitor the forum for announcements. My experience has been that I have been automatically notified when the official updates are available. I'm using Photoshop CS6, and the application manager associated with that program always notifies me when there is an update available. You can go ahead and install the release candidate now, and still install the official release when it comes.

Please tell me what I need to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files. Have downloaded all versions from 8.6 to 9. Photoshop 6 has no problems reading these files

Can anyone tell me how to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files Have downloaded 8.6, 8,7, 8.8, and 9 raw converter files and none will work.

You haven't seen the raw image data until you look at the DNG files in Lightroom. The DNG file contains precisely the same raw data that was in the NEF file. The image that you see on your camera is the JPEG preview that is built into the NEF file. And the JPEG preview is affected by all of the in camera settings. And those settings COULD include Active D-lighting, sharpening, style settings, Expeed processing, etc. And none of those settings are going to be picked up by Lightroom.
It's natural and expected that the raw image data won't appear to be as good as what you saw on the camera display. But you can make adjustments to get the images looking even better than what the camera displayed. And that is what shooting raw is all about. If you read in your manual it will indicate that shooting raw produces an image that must be processed. And that is what you do in Lightroom. If you find a set of adjustments that you make consistently to all of your images you can make those adjustments on a newly imported image and then save new camera defaults. Then those settings will be applied to all images that are imported from that point onward. And will be applied to any already imported images when you click on the reset button in the develop module.

Does Photoshop elements 13 support Nikon D750 raw files

I have PhotoshopElements 11, which I am gradually getting to grips with. Recently I purchased the Nikon D750and found to my dismay that PhotoshopElemants 11 does not suppost the NEF files and in order to process my images had to convert these files to dng. format using the 8.7 dng converter. Somewhat vexing since this is a departure from my usual processing method. (with my Nikon D7100 I could open the Raw Files in the ARC contained within PSE 11. I don't know whether there is an update for PSE11 which I need to down load (can't find one ) which will enable me to return to my hitherto practice or I need to purchase PSE13. Clearly I need to establish whether PSE13 supports Nikon D750 Raw Files.
Please help!!!!!

Why not get PSE13 now from this link and test it for free for 30 days. Validate with your 24 digit serial number when you buy from your favourite retailer. No uninstalling or re-installing is required - click here for PSE downloads
