Nef file corrupted but preview looks fine

Hi everyone,
That's the first time I get an error when opening an image in Photoshop and I dont really know what to do to get it to work. Its actually almost half my sd card that got corrupted, the preview image looks normal but as soon as I try to open it to start working on it, I get this error:
"Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered."
Same thing happen in Lightroom, I even tried Picasa and always the same problem, preview looks normal but the NEF file does not open (Photoshop) Cant make changes (Lightroom) Open with plenty of lines, colors, etc (Picasa)
Is there a way to get past this error in Photoshop or at least be able to work on the preview files ???
Thank you for your help!

The preview you refer to is probably the jpg image the camera makes of image, as a camera can not display a raw image. This is called the embedded thumbnail.
So the NEF is probably hosed. This usually happens when a card is inserted that has been formatted with another camera. It is wise to format your card, in the camera, before each use.
The other posibility is that the transfer of imagaes from the card became corrupted. The safest way is to transfer with a USB card reader.

When I print a Word document to a shared printer, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines.

When I print a Word for Mac document to a shared printer (that is connected to my iMac) from my Macbook Pro, print preview looks fine but the printed page has too much blank space at the top and doesn't print the bottom few lines. I have tried to adjust the margins and the page setup settings but to no avail. It used to print fine until recently. Is there a way to fix it so that the printer prints what print preview shows?

I should add that when I e-mail this document to myself and print it directky from the iMac, it prints fine.

Had my Nikon D600 recently in for the updated service call. Camera works fine but Photoshop says it cannot open my RAW (NEF) files now? It worked fine before and I have done all my updates.

The only thing I can think of is if you got a replacement D610 as rumored here:
http://nikonrumors.com/2014/01/27/nikon-is-replacing-some-d600-cameras-with-new-d610-model s.aspx/
In that case, you would need the new version of Camera RAW or DNG converter as per Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras .
The other thing to check is if the files open in the Nikon native ViewNX software. If they don't it's time to call the service center.

Edge Animation looks flashy/glitchy in Firefox only, but then looks fine after a few refreshes.

Any idea what is going on here? I am using display on/off to toggle through each PNG frame by frame/layer by layer inside a symbol on the stage. The domain is currently at new.spiritworldwine.com. But I am going live with the site today, so it may change to www.spiritworldwine.com by end of day today. I would like to get this fixed before I go live, but it looks fine in all other browsers so I am just gonna go ahead and if I don't figure something out soon, I am going to have to write and exception for Firefox and just show the static PNG.
Please help. Thanks.

Hi,
I've had a look on Firefox and it seems ok.
I've had issues like this with my edge pages in other browsers, it seems to be a loading time thing. So like you said after you've refreshed it a few times its ok.
Think that is probably it, its like the browser hasn't loaded all of the page then when its refreshed a few times its loaded the whole thing.

Why does my Muse Website design look broken when I upload it to FTP, but it looks fine in In-Browser Preview?

My index page and services page specifically for the English version of my website looks broken and I can't figure out why.
I created this using Adobe Muse. I'm not the best in navigating the back-end/coding part of the website but I'm afraid it may be something in the code that is causing these two pages to break. The weird thing is they look fine when you go to the Spanish version of the pages.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Are you still facing this issue ? Your site seems to be working fine at my end both in spanish version as well as the english version.
I would request you to try using a different browser .
Also, if you are still facing the issue,it would be great if you could share some screenshots.

Print preview looks fine but window space on worksheets prints all black

Recently purchased new HP Deskjet 1512 . I digitize embroidery and Chenille designs. Since purchasing the new printer,
intermittently the worksheets , which look fine on the print preview, will print completely black in the window workspace
area. The rest of the page prints ok. I have already had the problem trouble-shooted with my software company. I've been told that the printer driver is most likely the problem. Windows 7 Professional is my operating system. Has anyone encountered this problem???

Hey,
1. Uninstall the printer software (*click on the Windows 7 instructions) >> http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02259020&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
2. A clean boot of the computer to get the clutter out of the way. Here is how to do that >> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
3. Restart the Computer.
4. Disable all of your firewalls and anti-virus scanners.
5. Reinstall the software off of hp.com.
Best of luck let me know how it goes.
I worked for HP.

NEF file corruption in A3???

I have a NEF file taken on a D3 (fw: 2.02) that opens and displays fine in the latest View NX software (v 1.5.2) on Macintosh OS/X 10.6.2 ( Intel Duo Core 2) . After importing into A3, it "initially" displays fine. But after viewing the file and going back to the "Browser", the NEF file is corrupted and displays as a black square with (sometimes)random colored streaks. Most NEFS go in w/out a problem. But I have seen a few of these. Anyone seeing the same???

Using Aperture 3. Tried rebuild of thumbnails. No good. The file master can be exported (as a NEF) and viewed correctly in View NX, but it shows up "strange" in Aperture. After the rebuild, it came up looking like "snow" on a TV that was tuned to a non-active channel.

Inserting DIVs in HTML view screws Design view but preview is fine

RH8 HTML
Hi all,
Ive been working on a fix for a client, forcing a footer banner to the bottom of the screen, regardless of content in the page. Its nearly working fine, just a bit more tweaking, but one problem I am having.
I am editing and adding <div> in HTML view, so that the positioning works.
However, when I view the page in Design view, its all messed up, the content is really narrow and stretches down the page for a long time. However, when I preview, and generate the page it looks fine.
Its an issue, because the client will be given the RH source files at the end of the project, and with the front end editor looking like this its not going to be weasy for the to edit it, let alone me finish with all the content.
Has anyone come across this before? Is the Design viewer not the best at displaying div content ?
The HTML where the <div> is set off before content is entered:
<body>
<div id="wrap">
    <div id="main">
        <div id="spacing">
***********all content in here************
          </div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
The CSS that the <div> is calling
#wrap {
    min-height: 100%;
    border-left: 1px solid #9ea6ad;
#main {
    overflow: auto;
    padding-bottom: 54px;
/* must be same height as the footer */
#spacing {
    padding: 10px;
#footer {
    position: relative;
    margin-top: -54px;
    height: 54px;
    background: url(footer.gif) repeat-X;
    clear: both;
    border-left: 1px solid #9ea6ad;
/* negative value of footer height */
#footer p {
    padding-top: 15px;
    padding-right: 10px;
    color: #ffffff;
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    font-size: 10pt;
    text-align: right;
/*Opera Fix*/body:before {
    content: ;
    height: 100%;
    float: left;
    width: 0;
    margin-top: -32767px;

Hi Nick
What you are doing is working outside the boundaries of what RoboHelp natively does. If working with DIVs was part of that you wouldn't be forced to create them in the HTML view. As a result, I'm not surprised that the Design view isn't totally understanding how to deal with it.
No workaround I can think of here. Sorry about that. Maybe someone else has something to offer. What I'm posting to ask is that you please report this to Adobe as a bug. Who knows, maybe they have some magickal scripting or something they can do to accommodate it. At minimum, they need to be aware of the issue so they can factor it into a future release. Use the Feature Request link in my sig.
Cheers... Rick

Pages 09 poster only prints as black and white but color looks fine on the screen

The original template my poster was based upon prints in color, I can print other documents from pages in color without issue, and even if I print to pdf (which looks fine on the screen) and then open the pdf in preview and then print, it still prints black and white.
Um, and yes, it's a color printer and it's a standard 8.5x11 paper, so there's nothing too weird there. It looks totally fine literally everywhere except paper, and I have no other issues with any other documents, even really similar ones, that I have sent through the same printer.
I sent the same pdf file to a local copy shop and it printed just fine.
ACK! Please help!

I can't find anything that is print to black & white or grey scale in the document rules or anywhere else, and since the printer prints it as a pages document AND a pdf as black and white--but someone else can print the same PDF file in living color on their printer without any issues, I'm stumped.
Without changing anything, I can print any other document, jpg, web page, or anything on the same printer (including the same apple template) and the colors are fine...but then this one prints in b&w.

NIKON NEF files corruption

I have problem of NIKON NEF(NIKON D7000 CAMERA) files corruption after updating my MacAir to IOS Yosemite. I updated recently with latest Digital Raw Converter 9.06 but problem is still same. JPEG files are no problem. Any suggestion ho to solve? thanks

The answer is in this link.
FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?
Each Nikon camera has its own particular NEF format. First select your camera model and look in the link about supported cameras for the necessary version of the ACR plugin.
The present version of Elements is 8.6. The dngconverter has a 'release candidate' version 8.7.

In PSE9, outputting slideshow to .wmv skews inserted text, but preview is fine.

In Photoshop Elements 9, I created a slideshow, which included text on the slides. The preview looks
exactly how I want it, but when I output to a .wmv file, the text becomes over-sized and spills off the slide
(so only about two-thirds of it is visible). How can I get the outputted .wmv file to look exactly like the preview?
Regards,
Chris

I did try re-doing the slideshow from scratch, and changing all the image sizes to match the output video (1024 x 768). I still got the same problem - until I realized that re-sizing the text window over the slides causes this to happen. I tried experimenting with the text on 2 identical slides, and each time when I re-sized the text box, the text skewed. I can still move the text box around without incident. Any further thoughts on why this happens?
Regards,
Chris

Preview looks fine, but file on Internet isn't showing changes

My site looks great when i preview (firefox & Safari) in dreamweaver, but when i go to the internet it's not showing my corrections anymore. Why is that?

Here is the coding for my site the link is http://www.amethystenvironmentalllc.com. I re-did the homepage again but I get the same result. Looks great in dreamweaver's browser check but going outside of dreamweaver i get distortion.

.mp3 files that used to play now say 'the file is corrupt' but they play fine in google crome. Do you have problems with your default mp3 player?

I've posted a number of mp3 file links on our website. All have been functioning and playing well until this week, they are no longer playing when clicked on. The new tab opens, thinks, then says that the "video cannot be played because the file is corrupt". These files are able to be downloaded and played from individual computers and will play fine in other browsers - such as Google Chrome.
Not sure if there is an issue with Firefox default mp3 player?

I assume that this is because of the way the MP3 file is encoded.
Sample rate: 22050 Hz
Bitrate: 32 kb/s
If I open the file in a tab then I see a media player, but inspecting the page source shows a video tag with no source attribute, so Firefox seems to have a problem with decoding the media header despite the audio/mpeg content type.
I don't know what to do about this apart from playing the file in an external player or play the file via an object or embed tag to make Firefox use a plugin.
Using a bookmarklet like this to force an audio tag doesn't work as well:
<pre><nowiki>data:text/html,<audio src="%S" controls>
</nowiki></pre>

Imported RAW files corrupted but JPEG ok. Will this be ok in my library?

One of three of my SD cards imported about 10% of its RAW files with great chunks missing. I actually saved the folder onto external hard drive before trying to import with LR, and I CAN see quite normal RAW file images using iPhoto, but the same images are still fragmented when I import them directly from the external hard drive.
EXcuse use my ignorance, but can I import the jpeg images using Lightroom's DNG copy option (so that they are more stable); and will I be able to use them, and work on them, just as effectively as with all the successfully downloaded RAW images?
OR do I have to go back to Iceland for these 100 photos?!
Thanks, Sandoise

looking at images on the camera screen
That does not verify raw data, only embedded jpeg preview, which you already know is OK.
Sandoise wrote:
I can see both RAW and JPEGS in iPhotos and they look perfectly good.
Well, seeing them in iPhotos does not mean raw data is good - it may also be showing just the embedded jpeg preview, which doesn't count.
Sandoise wrote:
Lightroom is the third way I've checked
Lightroom is for sure showing the raw (re-rendered) data, so it's the one to use to judge raw data integrity, as read by OS, from card, through your reader...
Sandoise wrote:
How else can I check the card?
It's "impossible" to tell whether problem is card or reader, unless you try a few different readers. Try a few different ports and a couple different systems too if you can, to rule out system/port/reader possibilities. If raw data is bad no matter which system, which port, which reader you use - it's bad on the card. You still won't know for sure whether the card is bad or the camera is bad, or something else happened.., but bad card is the most likely..

I have photoshop 5.5 and can't open .nef files. I am looking for the old plugin can anyone help?

I am looking for the photoshop 5.5 plugin to allow me to open my .nef camera files... can anyone help?

Other than upgrading PS, you might want to look into Nikon Capture. I have an older version, so do not know if it's still offered, and if it will handle your version of NEF's, as they change, hence the ARC upgrades for newer Nikon (and others) cameras.
Good luck,
