NEF Raw editing in elements 5.0

Hi I have elements 5.0 I have always shot and edited Raw files. i now have upgraded my camera Nikkon D80 and it shoots with NEF Raw files which Elements 5.0 wont recognise. Does anyone know why or If I can use a newer version of Elements to edit NEF Raw files? as I cant afford full photoshop. Thankyou Lesa

Not exactly; the Sony A cameras supported by version 4.6 are: A100 A200 A300 A350 A700 A900. More are supported by a newer version (5.4), which would have to be run with PSE 7.

Transferring NEF (RAW) images from elements 9 to elements11?

How do I tranfer NEF (RAW) files, images, from my Elements 9 catalog to my recently purchased Elements 11 catalog?

You can simply convert your PSE9 catalog during the installation of PSE11. For raw files your editing work is contained in the XMP file which sits next to the NEF in the folder. PSE11 has a new raw engine (ACR7) and if you wish to preserve your previous edits do not convert to PV2012. An explanation mark usually flashes up when you open a previously edited raw file. I leave mine set to Process Version 2010. But for all new shoots I use PV2012 as the new highlights/shadows/blacks/whites sliders are much more powerful.

Can't open NEF raw files in Elements 12.1 from my Nikon D610.

I have the trial version of Elements 12 and updateed to 12.1. The Camera Raw version is 8.4 and I'm running a Windows 7 computer. Then I try to open NEF files do I get the error message that my Camera is not supported. I tried to install the DNG converter ver 8.3 but that dosen't recognize the NEF files either. Elements opens the NEF files from my Nikon D5100 without problems and so does the DNG converter. I have tried both 12 bit and 14 bit NEF files from the D610 with no luck.
As I understand it so should Elements 12 with Camera Raw 8.4 support Nikon D610. I hope I get get this to work so that I can update to ver 12 from ver 9 that I use today.
Best regards
Daniel

Yes I used Nikon Transfer NX that came with my Nikon D5100. I downloaded the NEF file directly from the SD card to my hard drive and now can I open the NEF file in Elements. I guess I need to update Nikon Transfer NX with the version I got with the D610.
Thanks 99jon for the quick reply and for solving my problem

How do I configure RAW editing with Elements 11

I have a new camera, Lumix TZ60, I've taken photos and when I tried editing in Elements 11 I had a message '- - - Visit Camera RAW help' does this mean the camera manufacturer or check with Adobe?
Any help would be appreciated.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
The TZ60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 8.4 which is only compatible with Elements 12 and newer.
So you'll never be able to edit Raw files from the TZ60 in Elements 11.
Why doesn’t my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?
Options:
Upgrade to Elements 13
Free option: download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all TZ60 Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNG files in Elements 11

Can't open NEF raw Files in Elements

I have downloaded the plug in 4.6 but elements won't update the plug in on my Imac. What am I doing wrong?

What model camera?
What version of Elements?
ACR 5.4 is the latest version of Camera RAW released last week, so if you
have a newish camera you'll need that version. ACR 5.x works with PSE 6 and
PSE 7.

Elements 10 won't open a nef(raw) file?

I downloaded photoshop elements 10.Uptated it.It still won't open a nef(raw) file.It just said it is the wrong type of file?What do I have to download to open and edit this type of file?

You will need to wait for the next camera raw update. You have two alternatives:
(1) Use Nikon software to convert. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

RAW editing workflow with Photoshop Elements 6

I have been using the following workflow with RAW images in iPhoto and editing them in Photoshop Elements 6. It seems to be working fine. Does anyone see a problem with my workflow???
I choose to edit in external editor (Elements 6), and the image opens in Camera Raw. I make my edits here because I really like the editing power of Camera Raw. After I am finished, I chose Save As and choose jpeg. The save dialog tries to save back to the Originals folder in the iPhoto Library that the RAW file came from, so I simply choose the appropriate event in the Modified folder and save it there. It replaces the jpeg that iPhoto had created when the original RAW file was imported. When I go back to iPhoto the changes are applied.
Now I realize that I can't reopen the original RAW file again in Elements without reverting to original, but that is usually not an issue. I also realize that messing with the iPhoto Library outside of iPhoto can be dangerous. Another drawback is that I haven't been able to open multiple RAW photos from iPhoto into Camera Raw so I can apply changes all at once.
But I can't see anything wrong with the workflow. Am I on the right track, or am I missing something?

No, I don't believe you can do that with RAW editing. By manually replacing the first modified version with your RAW edited version iPhoto will not update the thumbnail. You will be able to see the edited version if you go to the edit mode or full screen mode. But the thumbnail will not be identical. If that's OK with you then you should be able to go with that workflow.
If the edits are significant enough you might want to save the new file to the desktop and import as a new file.
You can try this on a copy of the iPhoto Library. Open the library package and move the contents of the Data folder to the trash along with the Thumb32Segment.data, Thumb642Segment.data and ThumbJPGSegment.data files. Then launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options. This will rebuild the thumbnail files and my reflect your edited versions. Again, make a backup copy of the library before trying this.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How do I set up Premiere Elements 12 to open Nikon D810 NEF, RAW files?

I'm running a Windows 8.1 computer with Premiere Elements 12. New Nikon D810 RAW files will not open in program. Is there a plug-in or other fix for this?

gsorozan
You cannot import Nikon D810 nef files into Premiere Elements 12. For that you need to have Camera Raw at least 8.6 which is supported by Premiere Elements 13. So, if you want to import Nikon D810 nef files into Premiere Elements, you need Premiere Elements 13.
However, if you convert your Nikon D810 nef files into dng files with the DNG 8.6 converter, you can import those dng files into your Premiere Elements 12.

Cant import NEF RAW images into Photoshop Elements 9.

before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
i took the images with the Nikon D3200 i NEF RAW format.
but photoshop kept on saying that the format was not supported, i was opening them up through FILE, OPEN, then i was browsing for the photos, but it would keep ion saying that the file was not supported.
but then i saw some where that you ha to open the image up through OPEN AS, so i did it that way, and for a moment it looked like it was working but then photoshop elements 9 crashed and it said it couldnt open up the image due to problem, can someone help me.
for the time being i will just use the JPEG images because i took and NEF RAW image and a JPEG image at the same time, which later on i will just replace the image with the NEF RAW image when i get it to work.
but until then cam some one help me try to get it to work, thank you.

before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
The problem is that PSE9 will not support the version of camera raw that is needed for D3200 RAW files.
To make use of these D3200 RAW files, you need to download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.2) and then use that software to convert the RAW to DNG.
Alternatively, you could purchase PSE 12, and then your D3200 RAW files will open properly without need for a converter.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module.

My version of LR-5.7 (OS X 10.8.5) apparently does not save the .NEF (Nikon RAW) edits done in the basic module. That means that I can correct exposure, highlights, shadows etc. but once I go to another picture and returned to the edited one the histogram (on the edited photo) and specifically the clipping triangles are white or some other color. This is normally suppose to indicate that some channel or all channels are clipped in the highlight/shadow areas. If I adjust any slider in the Basic panel even as little as one +/- value or press the J-key, the histogram will now show the original edit. Moving on to another photo and then returning to to previously edited one and again the edits are "not saved" and I have to hit the J-key or adjust a slider to see the previously edited information reflected in the histogram.
This is especially frustrating for fours reasons. If I have edited a shoot and return to it I cannot see from the clipping information whether the original edit was correct and of course I might re-edit it (to some now incorrect value). This brings up the second issue synchronization. I can't rely on it because if I go back to fine tune a specific image in the batch the triangles are white or some other color for that and every image. I have to hit the J-key to show/hide clipping or the back slash key to see before/after previews. This is the third issue which is very time consuming and inefficient regarding my workflow. The forth issue is that I have noticed that normally when an image is saved in PS, LR adds a copy of the saved version to its catalogue. I have noticed that the PS to LR saves are all wrong in terms of exposure (they are much lighter in tone) than the original LR edit and the PS edit on my screen. If I check the PS to LR photo in LR I notice that the Basic panel values have been changed and that I have to sync the image with the originally edited RAW/NEF LR file to get it to look the same.
Note 1). I am using an Apple cinema display and a calibrated Eizo ColorEdge monitor to view my NEF files. I have reverted back to using LR 4 however I am not sure if I should expect compatibility problems with Camera Raw 7.4 in LR 4 vs. Camera Raw 8.6 in LR 5.
Note 2.) I am going to do an import converting everything to .dng to see if this is a work around.
Note 3). I would be interested in knowing if this issue is related to the PS RAW engine ver. 8.6, the Adobe created NEF calibrations or LR 5.
Note 4). I have duplicated this issue in OS X 10.8.5, OS X 9.xx and OS X 10.10.1
Hopefully someone else has noticed this problem. Any shared information would be valuable. Thanks for the reply.

Happy New Year!
The Develop panel Tone settings in your Dec 31 screenshot show both the Highlights and Shadows controls set to negative values (-48 and -19). For most images (such as this model shot) they should be set to opposite values (-Highlights and +Shadows). To try and duplicate your issue I used negative values for both of these controls with a similar high contrast image. I noticed that the Shadows control becomes non-linear when both the Highlights and Shadows controls are set to negative values. As I moved the Shadows control from a positive value the Shadows clipping indicator comes ON as expected. Moving the Shadows control to a value caused the clipping indicator to turn OFF and moving it further negative caused it to turn back ON again.
The following screenshots demonstrate the issue with only Highlights & Shadows controls applied as shown.
The Highlights & Shadows controls set just to the threshold of extinguishing the clipping indicators.
Moving the Shadows control toward negative causes the Shadow clipping indicator to come ON (as expected), but at-13 it goes OFF again!
Moving the Shadows control further negative causes the Shadows clipping indicator to come back ON at -33.
This is probably normal behavior for the PV2012 Image Adaptive Tone controls as they were not designed to be used way (- - or ++ Highlights & Shadows). The PV2012 Tone controls all interact with each other, which is why it is suggested to adjust them from the Top down starting with Exposure. For most images using -Highlights and +Shadows of near equal value produces good results.
I still can't duplicate the change in clipping indicators after selecting another image, so it may be unique to certain camera models and/or lighting conditions.
SUGGESTION
Try one of the image files that exhibits this issue using the following PV2102 Tone control adjustment procedure:
Start with all of the Tone controls at their default 0 settings and adjust them from the top-down in the order shown below.
Set Exposure to correct midtone brightness ignoring the highlight and shadow areas for now. Setting Exposure slightly higher (+.25 to +.50 EV) than what looks correct for the midtones seems to work best with most images.
Leave Contrast at 0 for now. It’s usually better to adjust this after the first pass.
Adjust Highlights so that blown out areas are recovered and “fine tonal detail” is revealed.
Adjust Shadows to reveal fine detail in dark areas. For most normal images simply setting +Shadows = -Highlights (Example +50 and -50) works very well.
The Whites control sets the white clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
The Blacks control sets the black clipping point, which you can see by holding down the ALT key as you move the slider. Adjust it to the point where you see clipping appear with the ALT key.
Now go back and adjust the Contrast control to establish the best midtone contrast
If necessary “touch-up” the controls using the same top-down workflow.
If the issue persists I suggest Exporting an image to DNG file format with the settings that exhibit the issue and post it to Dropbox or other file download site.

Where is RAW editing in Photoshop Elements 13?

I have purchased the CD for Photoshop Elements 13 (not the Premium version) and have uploaded to my computer. I have an Olympus XZ-1 camera and am saving images as RAW (.ORF) files. I have uploaded recent updates to Photoshop Elements 13, including RAW 9.0. I cannot find reference in Help for Photoshop Elements 13 how to edit RAW files. I cannot find a tutorial how to edit RAW files in Photoshop Elements 13. Do I have to purchase Photoshop Elements 13 Premium in order to have RAW editing capabilities? Should I upload Adobe DNG Converter in order to edit .ORF RAW files with Photoshop Elements? I did find a set of tutorials on the Adobe site called "How to make non-destructive edits in Camera RAW." But Photoshop Elements 13 does not have all the features that are described in this tutorial. I would appreciate your help. Carl Baird [email protected]

The Camera Raw plug-in when hosted in Elements only has three tabs, Basic (toning), Detail (sharpening, noise-reduction) and Camera Calibration (camera profile).
What version of the Camera Raw plug-in is listed in Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw?
What happens if you are in the PSE Editor and use File / Open in Camera Raw and go select a raw file from your new camera?

Elements 9 and Nikon D7100 NEF (RAW) problem

I'm running elements 9 and have upgraded to a Nikon D7100 when I try and open a NEF (RAW) file it gives me an error message saying file type not recognised. This used to work fine with my D90, does this mean elements 9 will not support a Nikon D7100

Unfortunately your software pre-dates the camera. You may need to consider buying PSE13. But it is possible to download and install the free DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.7.1
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

CS6 misunderstands color in edited CS5 NEF raw files: too purple

This is a problem that Adobe CS6 / Lightroom 4 / Camera Raw 7 have in reading Nikon D50 camera raw NEF files.
Here are other more informative but still unresolved posts:

I got Photoshop CS6 Extended from Creative Cloud. I got a problem with how CS6 handles the color info from files edited with CS5. I spent time searching the web for answers but am afraid I did not find any. Please help!
In CS6, my CS5 files look too purple. (Or you may call it too magenta or too blue.)
How can I get CS6 to correctly understand the color information of raw NEF files previously edited with CS5?
CS6 reads my previously edited NEF (Nikon Raw) files with a purple tint. The purple shows up in Bridge thumbnails, Bridge Previews, Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw, and Photoshop itself. If I process the raw (NEF) file with Image Processor, the JPEG produced is still purple. So, CS6 is consistent but not correct!
The appended Apple Preview screenshot shows the difference in the JPEGs made with CS5 and CS6.
(1) Top Red: CS5 JPEG from image processor.
(2) Middle Purple: CS6 JPEG from image processor. It looks purple in Bridge, Camera Raw, and Photoshop.
(3) Bottom Red: Nikon Raw file as seen by Apple Preview.
I append an example of what my files look like in CS6 Bridge. Each pair of images should look the same, but CS6 makes the NEF raw images look purple. The left is the raw NEF file and the right is the JPEG that was produced from the raw file. There is no visible difference between NEF and JPEG images in CS5.
The same purple result can also be found in Lightroom 4.

This is a known problem and Adobe employee MadManChan2000 created V3 beta profiles for Nikon D3, D300 and D700. It appears the V3 profiles have not actually made it into a LR release yet, but you can download them and install them into LR to see if they make a difference:

For the most accurate Lightroom camera profiles I can highly recommend the Color Checker Passport by X-Rite. Every camera body's image sensor has its own unique color profile, so any "canned" profile is a compromise at best. The ColorChecker Passport also helps you to more accurately establish and set your White Balance in LR.

Elements 12 - how to save camera raw edits as .jpeg and not .DNG

Just bought Elements 12, previously used CS5. I only use Camera Raw to edit pics. In CS5, I can save my edited photo as a JPEG. In this new Elements 12, the only option is to save it as a .DNG file. I figured out that if I open the file in Elements, I can save it as a .JPEG. Is there a way to skip this step? FIrst, it takes longer, and second, it creates another 10MB file that I dont need. Thanks for your help!

Yes, that the Elements way.

No, you can't skip this step. It does not take longer, really, and it does not create another file on your drive, only in memory.
For a very efficient workflow, you can open your file (or a series of files) in the ACR dialog, edit them and save the raw edits by clicking 'Done'. You can afterwards batch convert to jpeg in two ways : the 'process multiple files' command in the editor, or the 'export' function in the organizer.
