Nikon D1x compatability

I thought I could transfer my photos into iphoto from my camera Nikon D1x by Firewire to my new Poweerbook but apparently not. I connect up the Firewire from camera to Mac Powerbook(Tiger)and nothing happens. Is it true that I really have to have the Nikon Capture software installed as well to let the Powerbook interact with my camera and therefore download into iphoto? This is my first Apple, (just bought 2 weeks ago), and I cannot believe that Windows XP works with every upgrade of Nikon Capture from v.4.0 ~v.4.3 yet each upgade of OS X means you for example ditch the Capture v.4.2, and then have to buy the latest v.4.3. I am amazed, somebody please tell me I am wrong!

Kyle:
Go to the Blue Apple menu and select About this Mac. Then in the next window click on "More Information". That will open System Profiler and under the USB section you should see the camera listed when connected.
I recommend using a card reader and uploading to a folder on the desktop before importing into iPhoto. You will save the camera's battery and avoid the possibility of a camera shutdown during uploading to iPhoto. That can really mess up things. Also don't let iPhoto erase the card or camera. Too many reports of incomplete uploads and complete deletions. Since you're using the large RAW files you many want to look into a Firewire card reader. They are blazingly fast.
Good luck.

Does Lightroom 5 (CC) support tethering for a Nikon D1x with a Firewire Card on Windows 7?

Our company wants to use an older, but fully functional, Nikon D1x and tether it to a Windows 7 Workstation with Adobe CC and a FireWire card installed. Will Lightroom 5 recognize the camera and allow us to manage workflow in a tethered setup, complete with photo taking and instant importing?
Thank you,
Jim

Hi Hal,
Thanks for your response!
I noticed that this list only shows versions of Lightroom 3 and above. Would a D1x have found compatibility with an older version of Lightroom? If so, might this compatibility be carried forward?
In either case, what third-party applications might you suggest?
Thanks a lot,
Jim

Iphoto v5.0.4 and RAW Nikon D1X files

Iphoto will not import Nikon D1X RAW files, only TIFF's & JPG's. Is there an update for this problem ?As I always tend to shoot in RAW initially.
Dan Rose

Hi Jack!
If you're new working with RAW files, your right, it just doesn't make sense. RAW <imho> is a bit overrated. One thing you will need to keep in mind when shooting in RAW, is you will still need to take a well exposed image. What RAW files will allow are CHANGES in all areas of the image v. JPEG which may allow you to ADJUST a few settings in the image. My only suggestion would be to kepp playing around with PSE until you get the hang of it, it is an excellent image editing software. But realize, a well exposed JPEG and RAW file are hard to tell apart...
Personally, I do not directly download RAW files through iPhoto but will create a folder and download to here, and simply drage folder to iPhoto to import (which are then 'converted' into JPEG files). This way I have the original RAW images safely located outside of iPhoto as well as in iPhoto. You should set Elements as your choice of application to edit files inside iPhoto.
Good luck, Rick

Nikon D1x RAW Files (NEF) do not open on current version of OS X, can somebody confirm?

I just tried to edit some of my older Nikon D1x NEF files (anno 2003) and realized that I cannot open them anymore, they just show up as solid pink in Quickview, Aperture, Preview etc. It seems to be a bug in Apple's RAW support and after checking this on 3 current computers also from very old CD's, I can confirm it is the same problem everywhere.
Ironically the problem seems to be limited to *vertical* photos only, horizontal files open just fine.
Can somebody who also has old Nikon D1x NEF files please check and confirm too? If somebody else has this, I file a bug report with Apple.
Thank you in advance!
Juergen

This issue has been oft discussed in the Aperture forum.
1) This happens in photos you have imported via Nikon Transfer. Nikon Transfer makes modifications to the NEF files, and this seems to cause issues with Aperture. Images that are imported directly to Aperture (or iPhoto), or just copied off the CF card onto the Mac do not have this issue - I'd recommend ALWAYS doing this and eschewing Nikon Transfer.
2) This only happens if you updated to the RAW camera update 4.0.8 (release a couple weeks ago). You can go back to 4.0.7 (see Aperture forum for tips on this) and it will resolve the issue. Hopefully Apple will address this in a future update.

Nikon D1x - raw file size and sharpening in Aperture

Good day all:
I have looked for several hours but can't find the answer to two questions:
1) How to set Aperture to use the full file size for the D1x, approx. 10.7 MB, vs the smaller Raw file size of 7.7 MB. The Nikon software all allows this function. Can aperture do it?
2)Aperture greys out the shrapening buttons for my D1x files, but allows it for my D100. I have tried every permutation I can think of, no luck. I wonder if it might be related to question #1? Thanks so much. I really need to do some sharpening!

Stong Magenta Cast on Nikon D1x Compressed Raw files

I had to get some shots that I took in 2003 with my D1x. I'm on a MAC with Lightroom 1.3. I imported the photo's into Lightroom. I noticed something strange.
Some of the the images first displayed correctly in the grid view. bus as lightroom created the higher res thumbnails, the images developed a very strong magenta cast. Reminded me of slide film when the color developer was going bad. But some of the other images were fine, I had about 2000 from the shoot.
It took a while, but I did discover the differences between the files that displayed correctly and those that didn't. The difference was that the ones displayed incorrectly were Compressed RAW. I was beginning to run short of storage on the shoot and changed to the compressed option for about the last 200 or so shots.
If I ask Lightroom to open them in Photoshop CS3, they open as PSD with the same strong cast. Not good at all.
I then used Bridge to look at the files, they also show up with the sme strong magenta cast in bridge. But, when I open them in Camera Raw, they display fine and when I send them to Photoshop, they open correctly.
So I can use the files, but I'm wondering. Has anyone else noticed this? Is Adobe aware of this?
I looked for an article in the Knowledge Base and looked through the forum messages. I didn;t find anything except for an item in the forum about D100 files displaying the same as mine.

i just started having the same problem except that my magenta cast happens when i open an image through raw then ps and save from ps to a file. If i save from bridge or adobe raw there is no problem. I only get the cast when saved from ps and to jpeg and if viewed through bridge. have no idea what to do.

Nikon Lense compatibility

My D40X pooped out and I want to buy a D5100 (body Only). Will my lenses and speedlight work with the 5100? I have a Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor 70-300 1:4.5-5.6G and a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55 1:3.5-5.6 G II ED lense. Also: Nikon SB800 speedlight.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When I did a search on D5100 models on BBuy site, there is more than one product and there are 247 reviews on one model. Is this the review you are referring to?
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Nikon+-+D5100+16.2-Megapixel+DSLR+Camera+-+Black/2553883.p?skuId=2553883...
My thoughts....
It is one review out of many. I did not see any other reviews with focussing problems he is describing.
He mentions trying to focus 1 foot from the lens.... most lenses need 2 or 3 feet to auto focus properly. That lens needs 11", so he's just barely giving the lens enough clearance to focus. He mentions everything is "one plane". At 1 foot? That does not count.
did he have enough light? Lens needs enough light to auto focus. You mentioned having a SB800. Use the autofocus light to help with the auto-focus.
did he have enough contrast? If everything is one colour it can be hard to autofocus
there are only 11 focus points on this older, entry model. You might want newer higher end models with more focus points. Love the 51 autofocus points my Nikon's.
more expensive models also have more cross-type focus points. Entry models might only have ONE.
I had problems with the D700 with a tamron lens (28-300mm). Once I replaced the third party lens with a Nikon.... the focussing problems went away.

Lightroom 3.6 and Nikon D5200 Compatibility

I have been using Lightroom 3.6 for a few years.I recently bought a Nikon D5200. I shoot exclusively in RAW. When I tried to import my RAW images, a message says it does not recognize the Nikon D5200. I tried converting my setting to import as DNG and it still doesn't work. Am I going to have to purchase a more recent version of Lightroom?

You have to install the DNG Converter on your computer it is a stand alone program and its only function is to convert raw files from supported digital cameras to the dng file format. You will have to somehow have the files transfered from your camera to a folder of your choice then you can use the DNG Converter to convert the files in the folder. To do this boot the program and then select the folder that contains the raw files. See attached screen capture.

Nikon 8000 compatability with latest imac (i7 core) and Snow leopard

I am about to update my ancient Mac and have noticed on many photo forums that the above combination may not work and is prone to glitches at best. Does anyone here have actual experience running this combo? I understand that Silverfast Ai should run well with Snow Leopard but the software is a bit clunky and I'd much prefer to use the Nikon scan software and not have to go thru another learning curve. Any info would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul

Dell never includes decent PSU. Too bad you aren't a system builder!
Yes you can buy OEM System Builder but then that can't be installed on another motherboard if needed later.
Macs generally aren't easy and not supported to do processor upgrades. Pick up a P55 or X58 motherboard and you can and then have a tricked out gaming PC.

Nikon d7100 compatability

Hello,
I have iphoto 9 on my system and it is unable to handle RAW files gebnerated by nikon d7100. Is there any pach to be downloaded?
thanks
-kamal

And just to let you know, the kernel (OS) underlying mac os/x does not have anything to do with RAW file format.That is entirely user space code.
What I said was that Raw support is at OS level. That means that Raw updates are made and included in OS updates and provide the same access to the Raws in multiple apps. Now obviously you now more than anyone about it, so why not tell Apple what they're doing wrong
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
there's no point telling us. No one is suggesting that you upgrade anything, just that the upgrades are required if you want the Raw support. Upgrading to OS 10.7 will cost you about $20. And that's not even installing the latest OS.
Adobe certainly did have a Photoshop for OS 9. I believe every version up to Photoshop 6 (note that's Photoshop 6, not CS6) ran on OS 9. None of them are updated.

IPhoto/Nikon D300 compatability

IPhoto 6.0.6 won't recognize images shot with new Nikon D300 camera. Solution? Thanks

Michael
Will iPhoto 6 ever be able to work with D300 NEF format?
No one outside of Apple knows. However, with 10.5.2 and Aperture 2, they seem to have decoupled RAW support from the OS. So it may never be added to v6 - which is no longer in development and hasn't seen an update in more than a year.

Nikon D80 Compatibility

I just bought a D80. It appears that iphoto does not support downloading RAW images from the D80.. Anyone know if Apple plans to take care of that problem? Thanks for your help.. Gil

It's on the official list so I wouldn't worry about it.
http://www.apple.com/macosx/upgrade/cameras.html
Actually, there are many more cameras (including mine) that are not on the list but are still compatible. The list includes only those that Apple has checked.

Nikon D1, D1X, D2Xs, D3 .vs. Aperture 1.5.6, 2.0

HELP!
I have four projects with thousands of Nikon RAW (.NEF) files in each one. They are Nikon D1, Nikon D1X, Nikon D2Xs, and Nikon D3, and as you might imagine, the images in each project came from the associated Nikon Camera (D1, D1X, D2Xs, and D3).
I have been using Aperture 1.5.6 for a long time and love it. But like many others, when I bought my new Nikon D3, I had to wait for Leopard 10.5.2 and Aperture 2.0 to view and edit the the images from my Nikon D3.
My upgrade to Aperture 2.0 worked like a charm.... Except now I can't view any of the images in my Nikon D1 project. The Nikon D1X, D2Xs, and D3 projects are fine.
I migrated all the images in each project, but still no luck with the Nikon D1 project.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Calvin

If you are looking for a general sense of whether A2 is better than A1.5, I will tell you that I prefer A2. I used A1 for all of my work in 2007, and it was fantastic. I switched to A2 right away and it's even better. The RAW 2 converter is bad ***, and the changes they made to the interface are great. Now that the web gallery issue was addressed, my entire work flow happens inside A2, without any other apps.
The only issue i can report is that exporting seems slow, but it's actually much faster because you can export many different batches at once. I just get impatient waiting.

Lion and iPhoto and Nikon Camera

Hello. I don't know if this is a Lion or iPhoto problem. So I'm posting this here. I have a Nikon Coolpix 990 camera. I took some photos today. When I attempted to import the photos to my iMac (2009, i7) running Lion with iPhoto 09 version 8.1.2, the camera wasn't recognized and I could not import my photos. However, when I connected the camera to my Macbook Pro late 2008 running Snow Leopard v. 10.6.8 and iPhoto 08 version 7.1.5, the camera was recognized and the import was successful. I rebuilt my iMac's iPhoto library but I have not attempted to sync my camera to it as I deleted the photos. Why was I unable to import the photos to my iMac?
zoz

The pictures were able to be uploaded to iPhoto using a card reader. Apparently, in Lion, support from Nikon is no longer provided.
