New Nikon D3 and D700 "Camera" v2 beta profiles

Over in the Camera Raw forums, I have posted a zip file containing updated "Camera" color profiles (Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc.) for the Nikon D3 and Nikon D700, along with some release notes. That thread is here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/602274

Here are some sample pics, as requested, processed with Camera Standard original and V2. They show the more contrasty highlight rendering. Switching to "linear" tone curve doesn't quite tone the highlights down enough.
I noticed the steeper tone curve in the V2 profile seems to result in somewhat more desaturated colors too. I tried to show this in the 3rd image, but may be hard to tell. It it as if you took an image in Photoshop and added a slighty S-curve, but only on the luminosity channel (e.g. make adjustment curves layer, set blending mode -> luminosity).

New Nikon D3, D300, and D700 "Camera" v3 beta profiles

Hi everyone,
I have posted a zip file containing updated "Camera" color profiles (Camera Standard, Camera Neutral, etc.) for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700. The zip file contains a copy of the readme, but I'll post it here for convenience, too:
For lack of a better name, I am calling these "v3" beta profiles.
BETA RELEASE NOTES
Overview
These updated Camera v3 beta profiles for the Nikon D3, Nikon D300, and Nikon D700 are designed to reduce banding and highlight color artifacts. They also address the "too bright" tone curve issues with the previous "v2" version of the D3 and D700 profiles.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When using these v3 beta profiles, if you wish to match the default tonality of Nikon's Picture Controls (e.g., match View NX / Capture NX), you must set the Exposure slider in Camera Raw / Lightroom to -0.5.
Of course, feel free to adjust Exposure to make your image brighter or darker as you like. But in terms of matching Nikon's default tonality, you must set the Exposure slider to -0.5, or the default will be too bright.
For workflow convenience, you can use presets in Camera Raw / Lightroom to take care of both (e.g., simultaneously set the profile to "Camera Standard" and set Exposure to -0.5).
Installation
If you are on Mac OS X, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/CameraProfiles
If you are on Windows XP, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
    C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
If you are on Windows Vista or Windows 7, drag the "Camera v3 beta" folder to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles
Note that the above path on Windows Vista and Windows 7 may be hidden by default. Check your folder settings.
Feedback
The profiles are currently in beta status. Please provide feedback via the online Adobe user-to-user forums here:

It's because ACR assumes that exposure slider at 0 actually means exposure correction of +0.5 EV for this camera model, so with expsure slider at 0, upper 0.5 EV of histogram is clipped
If this bothers you, there is a workaround - convert NEF to DNG, then change BaselineExposure tag in a dng from 0.5 to 0. There are several utilities for this
Or wait for some future version of ACR where this will be solved
The BaselineExposure used by the DNG spec and ACR can complicate ETTR exposure. A uniformly lit surface, when exposed as determined by the standard ISO light meter, should result in 0.18/sqrt(2) or 12.7% saturation of the sensor according to the ISO 12232 saturation standard. This is the standard used by DXO and it allows 0.5 EV highlight headroom. For ETTR exposure, no (or minimum) headroom is desired and mid-gray (18% reflection) is 2.5 stops below 100%.
For example, I exposed a gray card according to the camera light meter reading with the Nikon D3. The resulting 12 bit data number was 497 and the saturation is 497/4095 = 12.1 % saturation, which is very close to the expected value of 12.7%, confirming that the light meter and sensor are properly calibrated. The corresponding pixel value in 8 bit sRGB is 99.8 as shown.
The raw file can be rendered into sRGB with in camera processing or Nikon NX2, which closely approximates in camera processing. With the Standard Picture Control, the camera sRGB value is 150. This is a hot tone curve and the a highlight with 100% reflectance would be clipped. The table below shows the results with ACR and various presets. If one uses the Adobe Standard camera profile, the sRGB value is 162 rather than the expected 99.8 Other combinations are shown. To get the proper value for mid-gray one must use a linear tone curve (sliders on main tab set to zero and a linear point curve) and an exposure correction of -0.5 EV to compensate for the +0.5 EV BaselineExposure. With no exposure correction and a linear TRC, the sRGB value would be 116, very close to the calculated sRGB value of 117 for mid-gray (18%). However, the linear TRC gives a flat appearing image.
The take home point is that if you use Adobe Standard with no exposure compensation with ETTR, your images will appear overexposed and lead to cutting back on the camera expoure. The raw file highlights will have values well under sensor saturation.

Nikon D4 and v2, 3&4 beta profiles

Does anyone know how to get the Camera v2, v3 and v4 beta profiles to work on Nikon D4 raw files using Lr4? Camera profiles D2x mode 1 through 3, versions 2 through 4 beta were all absolutely integral in my Lr3 work flow when using my Nikon D3.
Any information would greatly be appreciated.
Lr4 shows all these profiles in the profile dropdown menu when viewing D3 raw files. When viewing D4 raw files, those same profiles don’t show up.

The profiles don't show up for tow reasons v2,3,4, etc are updates of the original D3 profiles while the D4 has only the current (new) profile. Each camera has it's own profiles so D3 profiles do not apply to D4's.
Second Nikon does not use the D2X profiles in the D4 so Adobe cannot replicate them like they did for cameras that had D2X settings.

Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should go to "the Camera Raw help documentation." When I click on the help menu I get a message from my browser stating that it is a dangerous website. Now what

Unfortunately it was clicking on Updates that brought the “dangerous website” pop-up, but several hours later I tried again for the umpteenth time, and it worked! I am so glad because I am working on a project with a deadline.
Thanks for replying. Maybe if someone else has this problem they could be told to wait a few hours and try again.
The main option on the ‘dangerous’ pop-up is a “Get me out of here!” button, which I always clicked. There are options to go to the website anyway, but I am too leery of the web to do that. Now that I know it’s possible to reach the update center without risk I will never consider it.
Thanks again,

I have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why? :(

have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
Best of luck.

Have new Nikon 5500 and photo elements will not support this camera

Had an Olympus E620 and Photo Elements 13 accepted my raw photos. Now have a new Nikon 5500 DLSR and Photo Elements will not accept my raw photos. When will they add the Nkon 5500 to their program? I am disappointed with Photo Elements for this. Have been a Photo Elements user for 12 years. !@

The D5500 was only announced 2 months ago but support has been included in Camera raw 8.8 which was released last week - see following
Camera Raw 8.8 now available
Unfortuantely, the update for Photoshop Elements 13 has not yet been released but it shouldn't be too long.
In the meantime, you could download the DNG converter (see document) and use that.

Using the new Nikon Transfer and It is not Compatible with PS6

I looking for a plug-in for PS6 specifically compatible with Camera RAW and Vista. I am using the new Nikon Transfer "ViewNX2" and PSC6 will not open camera raw without a plug in. It is telling me that I must convert to Windows7. I'm hopeful that there is a plug in avail to view with Vista Please HELP!!!

Nikon4 isn't the complete name of the nikon camera model you have, is it?
It would be something like D4 or D40 or......?
You can look on this chart for your camera model and minimum camera raw plugin required:

Try this camera raw 8.3 updater for cs6:

NEF to DMG file conversion for Nikon D810 and D800 cameras?

How do I open a Nikon D810 .NEF file and convert to a .DMG in Photoshop CC?

Do you mean DNG (Digital NeGative) instead of DMG? If so, then you need a version of the camera raw plug-in that is new enough to support the D810 and then you can use the Save Image function in ACR to save a DNG.
If your intent is to convert many NEFs to DNGs then the standalone DNG Converter program may be more efficient.
The current version of ACR plug-in and DNGC are 8.7.1. You can update the ACR plug-in by using Help / Updates in PS-CC (or log out and log back into the CC Desktop app) and you can get an updated DNGC from the Adobe Updates page:
http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
If you mean a Disk-iMaGe file then that’s something completely different and beyond the scope of Photoshop.

Using PS Elements 10 and MUST access Nikon .NEF Raw images from Nikon D60 and D7100 cameras.

Previously installed update for D7100, but it's no longer recognizing the Nikon .NEF files. What's the solution other than buying a new version? There are important images that need to be converted to JPEG for upload to a newsletter that will be published this week. Thanks.

I am using Windows 7. I think that the best path might be a third party conversion program. Do you have a recommendation?
Thanks,
Fred Czerner

Ordered new phone online and it came with a new SIM card. Do I use that or put my old one in?

I used to switch my SIM card to the new phone but never got one that came with a SIM card already installed. Do I use the new one or put my old one in? Already had service and just signed new 2yr. Thanks

However a Sim swap is only possible if they are the same size.
If the new Sim is a nano Sim and the other device was a micro Sim or larger size, using the new phone with the new Sim is what you should do.
Good Luck

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and it came with the old operating system, how do I upgrade it to the latest one without having to purchase it?

Hi,
Im a new Mac user. I currently just bought a new MacBook Pro. The first computer I got apparently had a problem with the flex, so I had to go change it for a new one. The first one had the latest operating system, the second one the store gave me didn't, yet it's still a brand new computer, so I don't see why I should have to pay for the new operating system, which should already come with my brand new computer. So I am trying to contact apple so they may give me permission to download it from the app store for free, due to this inconvenience and first bad experience. The vendor tells me that sometimes new computers may come with old operating systems because they're from an old batch of new computers. Oh and by the way, I'm from Honduras, and bought it at Jetstereo, in Tegucigalpa (the capital). This store is a licensed distributor.
Hope someone can help me,
Ankie Zapata

Nikon D5100 and D700, CS5, ACR 6.4.1: not enough memory when I convert many nef in jpg

The discution was ( and is) also here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3781380#3781380

Using ACR from PS3 or PS4, no problems. Using ACR 6.4.1. and making a batch convert, from nef to jpg ( or to other formats) I receive "not enough memory" sometimes, and all the times when I select reducing noise and lens corrections. It happen also when I try to transform only one nef to jpg.
I have win 7, i7, memory in triple channel, the system on a SSD, the scratch disk of win on another free SSD and the scratch disk for PS ans ACR on another SSD. I have tryed all imaginable settings, and no hope to use the ACR. Old ACR are OK, only this 6.4.1 have a big problem on my system.

I recently got a new iPad Mini and that came with free iWorks. When I try to add a picture only one of my seven photo streams will load, whats up?

So I have most pictures in different photo streams from my other devices. When I try to add a picture to my slide, only one photo stream will show and the one that shows isn't even created by me, if that matters. I have turned off the Photo option on my iCloud and turned it back on. Have tried closing apps, still nothing.

You should post this in the iOS discussion where folk who use the iPad can help you, this is Keynote for Mac.

Error opening New Nikon D300 RAW files on Iphoto and Preview

hi,
I've a new Nikon D300 and I've had problems when i try to import the RAW (.NEF) photos to my iphoto... it says that the file is unreadable either on Iphoto or Preview or even on Apple Aperture. How can i solve this problem? is there any update that i can do for that or Apple didn't upgrade the iPhoto yet? I l know the camera can take 14-bit Raw format photos but i'm not sure if it is taking them in 12-bit because it can take both. I have a Nikon D200 too and i've never had any problem uploading my Raw photos to iphoto. the only program that opens the photos yet is Photoshop CS3.
hope, someone can help me.
Many Thanks:
Gonçalo Rendeiro

hope this 10.5.2 solved the problem

I bought a brand new Mac 27" desktop that came loaded with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the hard drive, 1Tb, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new one as I had extended warranty with them. They recycled the drive immediately (like a fool I didn't ask for it back to get the data off it.) But luckily I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it worked great except I downloaded it to the desktop and not the original location so it got squirrely. I also have an external 1.5Tb drive that I wanted to make bootable so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3 . I then went ahead and installed it on the newly installed drive too.
I think that because I have a new drive Adobe thinks I have a news computer. I bought the 27" Mac brand new from Ebay and it came loaded with software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6 but Adobe said it wasn't valid. (I have owned CS2, CS4 and now CS6 which came preloaded onto the Mac by the seller who told me that the software was registered to the Mac???
I am going to re-download the backup but this time to the original location (I still don't think it will work with Adobe. What can I do about this?
