Nikon 5700 NEF and DNG

Does iPhoto '08 import DNG photos?
I've tried converting some Nikon 5700 NEFs converted to dng by either Lightroom or Adobe Converter, but get the unsupported format dialog. Odd that it attempts to import and then warns you, rather than telling you right away that it won't accept the files.

kenneth,
i think the problem is not all with aperture but in Mac OS X. try opening the nikon 5700 nef file with Preview and you'll see. my brother has a nikon 5700 and he had no problems opening nikon 5700 nef file on mac os x prior to 10.4.(?) running on a third-party upgraded powerbook (the wall street). he finally bought a new mac and this is when all his nikon 5700 nef files became incompatible. so something happened during the series of Mac OS X upates that broke the support for the nikon 5700 nef file.
i suggest that you also submit a feedback requesting support for the nikon 5700 nef file.
ps: they do listen, just be patient.

    I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

    I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
    What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras.  Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder?  If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
    Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
    What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

  • Nikon 5700 NEF unsupported format

    Haven't found a solution in 1.1 for my problem getting NEF files from my 5700 into Aperture. Tried importing into Lightroom with no metadata and then importing from the LIghtroom library. No luck. Someone must have solved this. I thought 1.1 would but it obviously hasn't. Any workarounds. I did read a thread about exporting from Bridge as a 16 bit TIFF and then bringing that into Aperture. What do you pro's think?

  • Strange artifact in some NEF and .dng files

    Using a Nikon D80 with 4 GB Sandisk Extreme SDHC card; shooting full resolution NEF; Mac G5, Mac OS X 10.4.10, images are run through Adobe DNG Converter 4.1. Image is opened in Camera Raw 4.1 (and now 4.2) window within Photoshop CS3 Extended.
    In some photos with dark areas, there is a single, tiny, transient on-screen artifact in form of a red dot, either two or three pixels square, which always appears in the same location against, say, a dark sky or trees. It can persist or literally disappear on its own after about two seconds. If the file is reopened in the same session, the red dot may not be there at all. If the loupe tool is used, it always disappears within the loupe after about two seconds, even though it may persist in the unmagnified screen. The good news is that opening the image as a .psd in Photoshop shows no sign of this anomaly, no matter how greatly magnified.
    Note: It can also appear if I drag the NEF or .dng file over to Preview. But in this case, it does not disappear.
    Does anyone have a clue what may be causing this?
    A screen shot comparison from Camera Raw 4.1 is attached below. The left image shows the dot in place in the section of the photo and with the loupe.The right image shows the dot gone, but persistent in the unmagnified image.

    Again, thanks, Thomas. Most, um, enlightening!  <g><br /><br />I've been shooting raw exclusively over the past six months or so. Camera Raw apparently did its job, which would explain why the pixel disappeared after a couple of seconds. I'll probably run the same image through Lightroom to see what happens.<br /><br />However, I can still see using .jpg once in awhile (family and friends snapshots destined for email or postcard-size prints).<br /><br />But then, the question begs, if other pixels are compensating for the bad pixels, does that materially affect overall resolution or appearance of the images?<br /><br />Although I've been aware of annoying "stuck" pixels on LCD monitors, I never really thought about how DSLRs deal with this.<br /><br />Neil

  • Nikon D7000 NEFs and focus point reference

    With the update to process the Nikon D7000 nefs, Apple has introduced a new bug. Now, when you show the focus point overlay, Aperture shows 51 points and not the 39 of this camera.

    Hi,
    Not sure I see a question in there. If you feel there is a bug in Aperture you should contact Apple. You can do this through the feedback form *Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback*
    As this is a user to user forum there isn't much anyone here can do for you regarding this issue.

  • Nikon RAW - NEF and NEF compressed

    I have a Nikon D100 with latest updates from Nikon Service Department. I noticed that if I use NEF (RAW) I couldn’t import the photos. If I use Comp. NEF (RAW), everything works just fine. Why is this? Sorry if this has already been discussed, I tried to find some mention in the forum with no results.
    Thanks in advance,
    Hans

    Aperture will give you a jpeg when dragging out of the application. If you want to export the RAW file, choose File>Export>Original.
    Note: If you are using RAW+JPEG, then you'll want to make sure the RAW file is in front via import settings or set to RAW within the application.

  • Unable to convert Nikon D810 NEFS to DNG

    I am using the latest DNG converter 8.7.1.311 but when I navigate to the source folder of the raw files from the camera they are not recognized.
    Has anyone else had luck with this?

    Now that is being cheap!!! hahaha You really should upgrade as there are so many improvements including to the  raw data conversion. Remember all this stuff is still in it's infancy and much progress is made quickly. Perhaps hold off a wee while until Lr6 is out which should not be too long from all the rumours.
    Look how much you spend on the camera and how little to get the best results....

  • Nikon 5700

    Hi
    Most of my photography is done on my Nikon D2X, but sometimes I still use my Nikon 5700. Is there anyway I can import the RAW NEF files from this camera into Aperture? I have tried direct import and also converting them to Adobe DNG filoes but neither method works.

  • Lightroom versus Aperture: Nikon 5700

    I'm using both an Olympus E-500 and a Nikon 5700.
    iPhoto and Aperture will not "see" my 5700's NEF files; but Lightroom handles them just fine.
    What gives?
    I hear the OS being blamed but that doesn't explain why Lightroom works fine with the Nikon RAW files.

    I'd think your Nikon 5700 is not among the list of supported cameras for Aperture, at least where its NEF files are concerned.
    Lightroom is a software that's different from Aperture. It also works differently. It does not use the same software pieces for processing RAW files as iPhoto and Aperture. These software pieces that Aperture and iPhoto use (and share) reside within the system. The software piece that Lightroom uses resides within Lightroom (and again, in a slightly different form, in Photoshop). The Apple provided software pieces don't (yet) know how to handle the 5700's NEF files, while the Lightroom software piece know that.
    And that explains exactly why Lightroom works with the Nikon's RAW files while Aperture doesn't.
    Cheers,
    k.

  • Nikon 5700 Puzzle

    I cannot understand why the Nikon 5700 NEF fiiles are not importable to iPhoto or Aperture, but on the same machine are importable with Lightroom. People suggest that it's the OS but obviously it's the same OS.

    Because it is the OS...
    iPhoto, Preview and Aperture all use the RAW-conversion engine that is built in to the OS, obviously with different levels of control. That's why all three apps support exactly the same RAW files.
    LightRoom (being cross-platform) doesn't.
    Have you asked for support for the 5700 on the feedback page?

  • Nikon AW110 .NEF Files in Camera Raw / DNG Converter

    I'm a bit new to NEF, and even RAW to be honest. But far as I can see both DNG converter 8.2 and Camera Raw (newest) is not happy with the .NEF Files from my Nikon AW110 camera. It won't open them.
    Is this something that will just be updated in DNG or RAW sooner or later? I have an early release of the AW110 and naturally there is not too much support out for it yet.
    Please let me know if I should be able to open these or not. It's no worry if there's nothing i can do about it yet, I just want to make sure my camera raw or photoshop isn't broken.
    Trying on OS X 10.9 (and 10.8) Photoshop 14.1.2 and Camera Raw 8.2.0.94
    Thanks guys

    ACR/DNG Converter 8.2 were released mid-Sept, which seems to be about the time or just before the Nikon 1 AW1 was available, so you’ll need to wait until at least the next release of ACR 8.3 / DNG 8.3 sometime in during late-Nov to early-Jan timeframe, I’d expect, unless there is something strange about that camera that requires extra time.
    The first place ACR/DNGC are available is the release-candidate at Adobe Labs, so check back there from time-to-time:
    http://www.adobe.com/
    Here is the list of currently supported cameras, where the Nikon 1 series is just above the Olympus section:

  • Raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    How did you install the plugin?  You may want to try reinstalling it or installing the dng converter, as that is what has the camera formats.  ACR 8.2 is just the plugin for the mechanics of Camera raw.  Normally they should both install, but sometime the converter doesn't.

  • Opening Nikon D600 NEF files using PhotoShop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213

    Hello,
    I've just bought a Nikon D600.
    I have Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213. 
    With these versions, I'm unable to open the D600 NEF files.  I get the following message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Yet I can view the NEFs in other software that pre-dates the D600, e.g. FastStone Image Viewer 4.6.
    Does anybody know if I can get a plug-in from Adobe for PS CS4 that allows me to edit D600 NEFs?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Regards,
    Aisling

    Either upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG Converter and covert your NEFs to DNG.

  • Installed Lightroom 5.2 and DNG 8.2 and NEF files are not supported.

    I installed Lightroom 5.2 and DNG 8.2 and when I try and import NEF files I am told they are not supported.

    If your camera is very new, like a Nikon Df, then wait until the next version of LR/PS/ACR for support.
    If your camera model is newer than the latest version of LR, perhaps a Nikon D610, then you need LR 5.3/ACR 8.3/DNGC8.3 which are all available in release-candidate status at Adobe Labs:  http://labs.adobe.com/
    If your camera is older and should be supported, then are you using and older Nikon Transfer or View NX that are corrupting your NEFs in a way that Adobe doesn’t recognize them?  The solution for this is to not use the Nikon products that predate your camera and install versions that came with your camera or are newer than your camera.  Or just use LR, itself, or the OS utilities like Finder and Explorer to copy the NEFs to your hard-drive.
    If your files are corrupted by obsolete Nikon products, then there is a utility, here, that can undo the damage:

  • Nikon D600 NEF files and Photoshop CS3

    Hi,
    I am using Photoshop CS3 and cannot upload Nikon D600 NEF files--obviously a gap between the two debuts.  Are there any suggestions, or am I stuck upgrading?
    Thanks

    You could get Lightroom 5, then output your files as tiffs to be opened in CS3.  I haven't used the standalone DNG converter, so I'm not sure if that gives you the option to save as a tiff also.  You could try the dng converter first to see if you can save as another file type, or use a legacy DNG version that is conpatable with CS3.
