NEF edits from Nikon Capture not imported to Lightroom?

I shoot with Nikon D200. I have lots of NEF images that I have previously edited in Nikon Capture Editor 4.4.0 and kept as NEFs. Now I purchased Photoshop Lightroom 3. I have imported NEF images into the Lightroom catalog, without moving the files into a new folder.
Problem: the edits previously done in Nikon Capture are not there. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong, but I do expect that the edits previously done to raw files will be recognized in Lightroom. There must be a simple solution.

There is none. Edits done in Nikon capture are stored as proprietary metadata in the NEF file. No program from a non-Nikon manufacturer can read these. If you want your edits in Lightroom, you will have to save tiffs from the Nikon program, which will render a new file with all the edits in the actual picture data, and import those into Lightroom.

  • Read settings in NEFs from Nikon Capture during import?

    Short version: during import, I would like Lightroom to detect and then approximate edits that I have made to NEFs with Nikon Capture.
    Longer version: I have several thousand images that I've previously (individually) edited in Nikon Capture. Is there anyway to capture the gist of these edits *on an individual file basis* when importing into Lightroom, or am I limited to the Lightroom default and my own Lightroom presets? I don't expect Lightroom to *exactly* duplicate whatever I've done in Capture, but it would be nice if it pick up some of the information.
    I've searched the forums for this, but didn't find anything relevant. My apologies if this is a duplicate post.
    thanks,
    Robert Jones

    From what I see here, LR simply ignores [or cannot see*] edits from
    Capture [NX]; all my manipulated files come in as they were shot, not
    as they are saved afterwards. In some cases - e.g. when you used the
    brush tool, probably other tools, too - LR cannot even import the NEF.
    Same holds for NEFs created with Capture.
    *The problem has more to do with Nikon than Adobe, as N does not
    disclose their NEF metadata structure. To the contrary, they not only
    put loads of interesting information in the manufacturer's section -
    thus hiding them in effect - they use encryption for some data (white
    balance is the only known one but ...).

    Yes if you apply the Digital Camera Update 4.01.

  • Using the Nikon RAW NEF format and Nikon Capture NX.

    This is about using the RAW NEF format in Aperture together with RAW NEF capable editing programs, specifically Nikon Capture NX.
    I basically agree with Aperture that it is a "workflow tool" and NOT a photo editor with all the bells and whistles of Photoshop or Nikon Capture. Apple fixed the most basic level of NEF conversion with version 1.1, great!
    However, as a workflow tool for RAW images, I cannot seem to figure out how to use RAW (Nikon's NEF) files efficiently with the new Nikon Capture NX.
    Nikon Capture NX is quite an interesting alternative to Photoshop. (I cannot wait or the Universal version, as with Photoshop, but that is another matter.) I like the work flow idea it uses, and I like that it edits the RAW NEF files directly, layering the edits on the RAW data. If I open an edited NEF file in Photoshop using the Nikon Plug-in, the result looks great. If I open the same file with Aperture (or using the Adobe RAW plugin) the result is basically an unedited version of the RAW NEF file. This is very disappointing.
    It seems I need to export the file from Nikon Capture as a TIFF or JPG. The TIFF gives good results but takes up about 10x more disc space. With the JPG I must give up the 16-bit per channel color depth. Neither allow me to have a "RAW workflow" as advertised by Aperture.
    What am I missing? Is this something Apple is going to work on by working more closely with Nikon (and Cannon)? (I figure Nikon keeps their conversion algorithms secret.)
    Or are we out of luck here?

    How do I know? Well if you change the white balance settings in-camera, different numbers come thru in Aperture. But the numbers in Aperture, ACR and the presumed numbers in-camera do not match. I wrote Nikon about this quite a while ago and they wrote back saying we do not know how other people interprete our proprietary WB numbers. See note below for additional insight as how you might look further into it
    "The shooting data I referenced is available in Nikon View Browser when viewing your images. Looking at all the images at once, it is easy to compare changes made to the camera by quickly clicking on the separate thumbnails. They displayed the differences I had mentioned before. If you do not already have the software, you can download it here:
    Title: Nikon View 6.2.7 Full Version - Windows
    URL: http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=13760&pcreated=1131989543
    Nikon Capture will not report a temperature value for White Balance, unless a manual Kelvin setting is selected using the option in the D200. As I mentioned before, Auto White Balance, and other Auto settings in the camera may not deliver a consistent result in a burst or as separate still frames even if the subject has not moved or changed. You have a cast on that one image using Auto White Balance. This is not uncommon, just choose a different value. The value may not even accurately reflect what situation you are in. It may be sunny, and you choose cloudy. The White Balance is not measuring the ambient light, it's used to measure the temperature of the light reflecting off your subject. The closer your subject is to white, the closer the value. This is why a preset is taken with a white or neutral gray card.
    Since Auto White Balance covers a wide range of temperature, the exact value is not recorded anywhere that I know of. In addition, all White Balance temperatures are approximate values, as per the manual page 35. Having a cast on an image while using Auto White Balance is very possible, just choose another value more suited to the ambient light.
    Set the White Balance to K , and capture an image, and this will be reported by the shooting data in Nikon Capture. I have no idea whether ACR is reporting an accurate value or not, we do not support that software, but check this value against what you see in there software."

  • Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software?

    Hello,
    Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software. Read where folks are adjusting setting in LR4 for Nikon camera, but need help in how please. Also, perhaps there is a better way?
    thanks,

    There is now another way, dunno if you'll consider it better or not :
    ISO Detailer now has infrastructure for supporting camera settings emulation.
    Implemented so far (Nikon only):
    * Picture Control Name (e.g. Neutral, Vivid, ... ) -> Camera Calibration Profile.
    * Active D-Lighting -> Lr basic adjustments.
    If you want other stuff, you'll have to come up with it yourself, by editing a table in lua text format (or supply the information for me to do it).
    Reminder: Ottomanic Importer can do this emulation during import, ISO Detailer is for doing it after import.

    How do I update Adobe Bridge CS4 so that I can view NEF files?
    Unfortunately, you don't. Bridge can never be updated again once a new version of Creative Suite comes out, so bridge CS4 can't be updated past where it was back when CS5 came out. There is no way to make bridge CS4 see the raw files for the D7100, I'm afraid.

  • I can not import in Lightroom 4.4 any RAW-file from my D600. Lightroom gives no picture.

    I can not import in Lightroom 4.4 any RAW-file from my D600.  Lightroom gives no picture.

    How long have you waited?
    When I connect my D600 via USB and import in Lr it takes a long time before the image thumbnails are displayed in the Import Dialog.
    I know that using a card reader would probably be much faster (you gotta try that!).
    In the meantime I just do something else for 5-7 min (read e-mail, get a cup of coffee) and thereafter the thumbnails are displayed and import is straightforward.
    And I do have a powerful and fast system.
    So, somehow Lr and the D600 are slow to begin "talking" to each other.
