NEF Files Corrupting in Bridge

Am new to Mac OS, and on clicking an image to open in CS6, the file gets corrupted? Any one can help resolve this issue.
(Currently using IMac 21.5 inch with latest Yosemite OS [includes all the updates])

Actually, its Nikon's NX-D which was corrupting the files, they have sent me a patch to update, and it remains to be seen if any more files get corrupted.
I had transferred all my files from SD card to external HD, which I was using to work on.
It seems Nikon are lately good at having problems rather than not having.

  • Viewing .nef files I can no longer view my nikon .nef files in adobe bridge.

    Please help. I used to be able to view .NEF files in Adobe Bridge but now they do not open. I tried to open them in PS by double-clicking but I get the message.....could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.

    As a start you should update your profile it still says you are using 10.6.1 and including the Aperture version would be a good thing also. So have you upgraded to 3.2.1 yet?  If not you should.
    As a start you should look at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics and see i that helps.

  • Problems importing Nikon D4s NEF files to LR5, Bridge, Photoshop CC / CC2014?

    Is anyone having a problem importing Nikon D4s NEF files into Lightroom 5, Bridge or PhotoshopCC / CC2014 or Photoshop5?
    I am running the latest updates: LR5.5, RAW 8.4, Photoshop CC latest update which, as far as I am aware, are all supposed to support the D4s NEFs but none will read the files; LR5.5 just shows "Preview unavailable for this file", Bridge just shows a blank and Photoshop shows "Photoshop cannot open this file".
    I have tried 14 bit, 12bit uncompressed; but only jpegs show up??
    All running on an iMAC 2.93Ghz Core i7 mid 2010; 16GB Ram and also on a Mid 2011 Macbook pro 2.2Ghz core i7 with 16GB Ram. 
    Is this camera supported fully yet?
    Is anyone else having similar problems?
    Any ideas?

    You probably used Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This causes corruption of the file so taht Adobe Software cannot read it.
    To uncorrupt the files, see Fix Corrupted Nikon NEF Images

  • Can't open NEF files in Adobe Bridge CS4

    My camera is a Nikon D90 and I downloaded the Camera Raw.plugin Version 5.2. to open NEF files in Photoshop and Bridge from the CS4 collection. It works perfectly to open NEF files in Photohop but Bridge is not able to show the files. I cleared the cache already.
    Does anybody know, what the problem could be?
    Thanks for your help!

    Maybe the plugin is in the wrong folder? It should be in the Common Files/Adobe folder tree, rather than the Adobe/Photoshop CS4 folder tree (where only Photoshop can see it). Also, make sure there's only one Camera Raw.8bi installed.

  • I can't see NEF files in Adobe Bridge

    My Bridge doesn't show my nef files (taken by both d40x and d700). The thumbnails in Adobe Bridge S3 show the icon Nef but they don't show the image. I can't see the images in raw. If I click on the icons 'camera raw' opens and I can develop the nef files. I'd like to see the previews instead. I've downloaded the latest camera raw (4.6) and manually installed it but it doesn't work. The camera raw instructions say to install it in:
    Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    but I have this directory instead:
    Adobe\AdobeBridgeCS3\plug-ins
    Who can help me?!
    Thank you!

    Yes, it must be in a location above and nowhere else.  Only one version is allowed in this directory.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • NEF file corrupt in lightroom, okay in Nikon ViewNX 2

    A file which displays fine in the Nikon ViewNX 2 software is displayed in Lightroom (thumbnail and image can be viewed fine, including zoom etc.), but Lightroom reports "An unexpected end-of-file occurred" and I am unable to make an adjustment (unable to make WB or lens corrections -- it does let me crop),   I deleted the file in Lightroom and imported it again with the same problem. It is a 4912x7360 file taken with a Nikon D800.  Suggestions to get Lightroom to work with it?

    There have been several reports of this problem recently. One of the most common causes seems to have been that the users have used an outdated version of Nikon Transfer to import their images. I don't  know if that could be the case in your situation, but it's worth asking.

  • Some Nikon D300 NEF files don't appear in Bridge CS3 (Mac)

    Hi all,
    I'm using a Nikon D300 and just upgraded to CS3 on my MAC in no small part because the D300 was not supported by CS2. I am running into a problem though.
    I always shoot in both JPEG and RAW modes. When I open Bridge I always see each JPEG version of a shot.
    However, only about 50% of the time can I see the NEF (RAW) version of the thumbnail. The rest of the time I only see a generic "RAW" thumbnail with no image. This sporadic NEF viewability carries over to the preview pane when I select such a NEF file.
    Furthermore, Camera Raw cannot open the NEF files that are not visible in Bridge. When I try opening them I get a message saying "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this file type."
    I have tried purging the Cache (through Tools) as some indicated in other forums threads but this has not helped. I have also downloaded the ACR 4.4 plugin and installed it in the correct library location.
    Has anyone else experienced this (whether on a Nikon or other camera)? Any advice?
    Thanks

    I've finally solved the problem with having only some of my NikonD300 NEF files viewable in Bridge/readable by Photoshop! Jon Michael Riley had said he was having similar problems so I wanted to make sure he and anyone else has the info on what worked for me.
    The issue does not have anything to do with purging the thumbnail cache or installing the latest version of Camera RAW 4.4.1. While they were good suggestions (offered by Adobe's Technical support people also), they do not resolve this particular issue.
    I read that an earlier version of what Jon described as "Nikon's clunky software" had corruption issues when images were first transfered from the camera via Nikon PictureProject Transfer. It looks like the latest incarnation has the same issues. Nikon products can see the transfered images without a problem. HOWEVER, Adobe Bridge/Photoshop cannot rectify the corruption issue caused by transferring photos using Nikon's utility.
    So here's the solution: DO NOT use Nikon PictureProject Transfer! It is a piece of garbage! Instead, make ADOBE PHOTO DOWNLOADER the default tool to transfer images from the camera. To make it default do the following:
    Open Bridge, pull down the Bridge CS3 Preferences. Select the "General" preferences set. On this screen you will see "Behavior". The first clickable box reads "When a camera is connected launch Adobe Photo Downloader". Select this box to render this the default transfer tool.
    If you still have the pictures on your memory cards you can re-transfer them using Adobe Photo Downloader. All your NEF files should now be readable by Bridge/Photoshop. I've told Adobe Tech Support about this problem with Nikon's software. Hopefully they'll be able to check this as an option if others call in with similar problems.
    Unfortunately I have not figured out how to repair the corruption in the files I transfered earlier using Nikon's piece of garbage software. Since I don't have the images on memory cards anymore I can't just re-transfer them. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this? Will I ever be able to access my earlier NEF shots?
    Cheers,
    Greg
    Thanks to everyone for trying to help resolve these issues.

  • No longer able to view NEF files in Bridge or edit in Camera Raw 4.6

    I have found similar questions in various Adobe forums, but I have not located a solution to my problem.
    Bridge CS3
    Photoshop CS3 Extended
    XP
    Camera Raw version 4.6.0.30
    Nikon D300s
    Up until 2 weeks ago I have been copying my NEF files from my CF card via reader, opening Bridge, selecting thumbnail of NEF and opening it in Photoshop CS3. At which point I can process with Camera Raw 4.6.
    Now, once new NEF files copied and Bridge opened, I only see NEF icons. When I double click the file, Photoshop opens and a box appears with the following text: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
    Upon inspecting the differences between NEF files that I can edit and the new NEF files that I cannot, I notice in the metadata file properties that the application of the successful files is ver. 2.00 and the duds is ver. 1.00.
    What "application" is the metadata referring to? I think this may be a Nikon setting, but it would help me understand the problem better if I knew what "application" this is.
    I can convert the new NEF files into jpgs using Adobe DNG Converter, but this GREATLY complicates a previously straightforward work flow process.
    Thank you for any light that may be shed on vexing dilemma,
    Kate

    Very grateful for your response and time.
    The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
    Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
    I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
    By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
    I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?
    Dazed, but not beaten down,
    Kate

  • ACR 8.3 and D600 .nef Files

    I'm using a Nikon D600, shooting with a flaat picture profile to create both RAW and JPG files.
    I'm using: Adobe Bridge CC ver: 6.0.1. 6 x64 / Lightroom 5.3 / ACR 8.3 (I'm a CC user and I have all the current software available.)
    I have alot of experience with the workflow of Adobe Bridge->ACR->Photoshop using Photoshop CS3 extended version. I'm not sure what the Adobe Bridge Version would've been, nor ACR.
    Today, when I look at my .nef files in Adobe Bridge, they are heavily contrasted images. The .jpgs look flat, just like the profile I chose, but the .nef's look like a preset is being applied to them.
    I've read the forums topics about .nef files and Camera Profiles, but I've never had to change any preset when I used Bridge->ACR->Photoshop in the past. However, I did go into Adobe Bridge->ACR->Camera Calibration and changed the CAMERA PROFILE to "Camera Neutral" and  left the PROCESS as "2012(current)."  The "Camera Nuetural" DID help alot. But is that all that is available- or am I missing something?
    I thought there was (maybe) a problem with Adobe Bridge, since the images looked like the preset was applied even before I ever tried to open any of the .nef images. So I went into Lr and when I imported the images, they looked like I would expect them to- until I clicked on them. Then I could see the preset being applied. So, I went into Lr->Develop->Camera Calibration and the same 2 settings as mention above where there. So I left the PROCESS as "2012(current), and changed the PROFILE to "Camera Neutral". It helped alot, but is that all that I can do?
    Is that all I can do? It seems like too much is being changed on the .nef files without me ever touching them.
    Thanks for your help,
    Cathey

    Thank you Jim. I appreciate your help. I have seen the different profiles that can be applied and the Camera Neutral makes a huge difference in the .nef image (bringing it back to more of a flat image, which is what I wanted).
    I have the same issue in Adobe Bridge, and I can select the Camera Neutral from there as well and it makes about the same difference as in Lr.
    I've pulled up some older images that I shot with my D200 (I can't tell you what picture profile I shot with). It confirms what I remember from working with .nef files before I got my D600 and started using the CC versions of Lr & Br which is: The .nef files are, well... 'raw', while the .jpgs look 'refined'.
    In my case (now) its the complete opposite. My jpegs look 'raw' and my .nef's are punchy, contrasty, bright....
    I can't help but wonder why my .nefs are so changed when they're supposed to be raw files. Even when I apply the profile in Lr, or in ACR of "camera neutral" it still does not get me back to what (I believe) the raw image should look like. Why would a .nef look better than the .jpg when I haven't yet applied ANY setting to it. And, if it's the profile in ACR or Lr that is causing this to happen, then why doesn't the .nef image look at least as flat as the .jpg when I change it to 'camera neutral'?
    You said that Lr generates its own preview of the raw image data. I guess I don't understand why, then, when I change the image in Lr to Camera Neutral, how come I still have a .nef that is considerably brighter, more contrasty than the original .jpg?

  • Bridge CS4 Search Not Displaying NEF Files + Keyword Problems

    Hello, I am hoping someone can be of service to peculiar problem that apparently nobody else has had.
    I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
    I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar
    file.
    Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF
    file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw. I quit the program and the next time I started Bridge, it crashed upon using the loupe tool. I looked up help on Adobe's website and it appeared I had corrupted preferences. Per Adobe's instructions I option clicked at Bridge startup to delete the preferences and purge the cache.
    Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of
    photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
    I then verified and repaired all disk permissions from the operating system installation CD and Bridge started returning results as
    usual. However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
    Now I'm noticing that all my search results are not including NEF files; just JPEG and the occasional DNG file that I made through Adobe Camera RAW. I'm not sure if this has been the case throughout my problem or if I just noticed it late.
    Regarding not displaying NEF files in searches, it appears that it will default to displaying JPEG if it has the option because as of lately I have only been shooting RAW and some of those files are showing up in the still-wonky searches (still displaying random or no photos of keywords.) However, if I manually navigate to a file, I can open and edit NEF files with no problem, they just don't display in any search modes.
    Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y9HkDK7DCs
    When I click on a NEF file, the one ahead of it in Content view processes into a more contrasty image and the loupe tool previews jump between 100% and 400% and then change to 100% when dragged or they just process themselves right then and there.

    I am running Adobe Bridge CS4 (came bundled with Photoshop Elements 8) on a 2009 24 inch iMac with 4GB RAM and a 2.6mHz processor running Snow Leopard v10.6.2.
    Snow Leopard and Bridge CS4 do have some issues. Some have no problems and others have much problems I'm afraid.
    I use Adobe Bridge CS4 to add Keywords to all my photos and edit 14 bit Nikon NEF RAW files. I write the keywords to an .XMP sidecar file.
    To my knowledge the keywords are written into the XMP Metadata that is saved in the IPTC section of file itself, the XMP data in the sidecar file contain the changes you made in ACR. In other words, the keywords you have added should still be there.
    Also see this Knowledge Base article about Keywords:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402660.html
    Two days I ago I changed something in Preferences->Metadata and the next time I started Bridge CS4 and used the loupe tool on a NEF file, it took longer than usual for the preview to come up and when it did, it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%.
    Changes metadata in prefs only affects the visability of the fields in the metadata panel. put or deselect a checkmark in front of an option will let you see or not see the field in this panel, the actual data and fields ar still in the file.
    it was at 200% magnification instead of 100%. Once the loupe preview showed up, the NEF file had some sort of processing applied to it (it became more contrasted.) This was all within Bridge ant NOT Adobe Camera Raw.
    You can change the magnification for the loupe to 100 / 200 / 400 and 800 % using the scrollwheel or with loupe active the + and - keys. Bridge shows the settings that you made in ACR. If you have changed the default Camera Raw setting it will also change the thumbs for this file. A thumbs needs some time to be cached. First it shows with a black border around, when first cached it shows the embedded preview and in the second round it renders the ACR settings and High Quality preview (if you have not disabled this setting). Caching needs some time.
    Everything appeared to be normal until today when I searched for a keyword and got 36 random results when I know I have hundreds of photos tagged with that particular keyword. I started typing in other keywords and getting the same sort of results- very limited numbers of photos I have hundreds of. I always include all subfolders in all searches and used every search method available through Bridge to no avail. The searches always came up with a fraction of the photos I actually have tagged.
    Maybe you need to let the indexing in find do its work again but it might also be a snow leopard issue. Try an other app (Digital Asset Management like Expresion Media or  Portfolio) to check about the keywording and find. You can use a trial version for several days. You have several options to use find keywords. In the panel itself, in the filterpanel uner the keyword tab, when clicking on a visible keyword it only shows the files with that keyword or in the menu Edit / find (shortcut cmd + F) explore the options in this menu and also choose include non indexed and let Bridge start to index your files again.
    However, when I clicked on an individual file in the Content pane, some of my Keywords started to appear in italics below the rest of my Keyword tree. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why some images will return the Keywords normally and others in italics. Also, sometime the italicized keyword tree will include keywords I edited due to typos and thus no longer existing my normal Keyword tree. I gave the "Make Persistent" command a try. It converts the italics to regular case, but it also doubles the tag so I now have two of that tag (one in the normal keyword tree, and the now converted italics keyword tree.)
    Don't know about that.
    Here's two short videos of what happens when I navigate a folder with NEF files by manually searching:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDjUDZzULKQ

    As you can see the black border around some file that disappear after a while or when you select them they have not been cached. You used purge cache so most of your earlier cached results are gone and need to rebuild.
