Nikon D200 NEF+ JPEG

I am using a Nikon D200 with Aperture. When the camera is set to record a NEF+ JPEG file for each shot Aperture only displays the NEF files. Both the NEFs and JPEGs are on the CF card. Is there any reason for this or way to see both the files for each shot?
Advice appreciated.

Short answer.
Your RAW & JPEG images are imported into Aperture when you shoot RAW + JPEG. Aperture only displays the RAW file and stores the JPEG for future use.
You can extract this JPEG file by selecting the RAW image in the Browser and choosing Images>New Version From Master JPEG.

Nikon D200 sharpening

What is your favorite sharpen settings for Nikon D200 NEF files? If I used default settings, the pictures looks little bit soft for me.
Thanks.

Ahoj Radke,
If you are shooting RAW then you can ignore the image optimizations, sharpness, saturation, contrast, and WHITE BALANCE at the time of shooting. They have no effect on RAW files--you determine all those parameters when you develop the RAW. That's one of the best things about a RAW file--you can't mess it up (except exposre and focus) at the time of shooting.
That said, there are two places that you might be sharpening your image. The RAW Fine Tuning and the Sharpening control panel. Right now I would sugest make an album of about 6 images that have a variety of detail from fine detail to coarse detail. In the Real World Photoshop books this is called high-frequency or low-frequency images. Set the sharpining in the RAW Fine Tuning to a place that looks OK for all the images.
If you over sharpen here the fine detail will be wiped out, if you under sharpen the coarse detail will look soft. Save this as a new camera default setting. This will be applied to all images you import from a D200 camera.
The Sharpening adjustment panel (control + S) is where you can boost the sharpening on an image by image basis. Since the coarse-detail/low-frequency images probably look pretty good with just the sharpening from RAW Fine Tuning then this will probably be used mostly for fine-detail/high-frequency images to boost the sharpening a bit more.
This is how I am running my setup now for my D200 and D2x. Aperture is still so new that I may change this a bit as I learn better how the different tools interact.

Nikon D200 and NEF in iPhoto

I have a Nikon D200 which I recently upgraded from a D100. iPhoto imported the Raw NEF files from the D100 no probs. It refuses to import the D200 NEF files for some reason, giving error messages when I try.
Could the NEF files be different on the D200. Will I need to wait for a iPhoto update to cure this or is there something wrong?

Hi folks,
I too just got a D200. iPhoto does recognize the camera when I plug it in but it only imports the jpg's
I just installed Photoshop Elements 4.0 and it has a terrific RAW Plugin that takes the files in perfectly. I did try the Beta Lightroom and it was a big monster on my PowerBook G4 TT 1G. I don't see using RAW NEF files as-is anyway so I will always bring them into PS Elements for editing anyway. If you use the power of the settings on the D200 you won't have to do much editing anyway; esp. if you are more of a point-n-shoot photographer - the D200's so **** good you don't really need to shoot in RAW. If you do a lot of "darkroom" work then you cannot beat a D200 raw file.
Personally, I cannot see investing in Aperture just yet. I recommend PS Elements as an inexpensive bridge. Speaking of Bridge - PS Elements has an application called Bridge that is sort of a file manager; its useful in that it gives you info on the pictures as you browse but not as comprehensive as the iPhoto library.
I hope Apple supports our D200 Raw files soon, if for nothing else as the great catalog it is.

Nikon D200 and iPhoto

Earlier, I asked the question,
I'm considering upgrading to a Nikon D200. Can I download images in RAW/NEF and JPEG from Nikon D200 into iPhoto 5.0 on my old PowerBook G4?
One person answered the question and then the thread was archived for some reason. I was hoping to get more discussion on this topic. For example, I'd like to ask the person who responded if the camera and the software work well together and if this is the primary software he uses for his or her digital photos.

I am just trying to start a topic???
I have a Nikon D200 and iPhoto 08 with the newest download. It had camera compatibility updates, I think that is where my problem is. All of my Nikon RAW (NEF) files have the wrong White Balance temperatures in iPhoto. They were good before this download. How do I roll the update back, and how do I report it to Apple as a bug???

PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs with Bridge or PS CS3.
This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right? Am I missing anything. here? Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work? Will I be at any disadvantage. Am I missing anything. here?

Using the Nikon RAW NEF format and Nikon Capture NX.

This is about using the RAW NEF format in Aperture together with RAW NEF capable editing programs, specifically Nikon Capture NX.
I basically agree with Aperture that it is a "workflow tool" and NOT a photo editor with all the bells and whistles of Photoshop or Nikon Capture. Apple fixed the most basic level of NEF conversion with version 1.1, great!
However, as a workflow tool for RAW images, I cannot seem to figure out how to use RAW (Nikon's NEF) files efficiently with the new Nikon Capture NX.
Nikon Capture NX is quite an interesting alternative to Photoshop. (I cannot wait or the Universal version, as with Photoshop, but that is another matter.) I like the work flow idea it uses, and I like that it edits the RAW NEF files directly, layering the edits on the RAW data. If I open an edited NEF file in Photoshop using the Nikon Plug-in, the result looks great. If I open the same file with Aperture (or using the Adobe RAW plugin) the result is basically an unedited version of the RAW NEF file. This is very disappointing.
It seems I need to export the file from Nikon Capture as a TIFF or JPG. The TIFF gives good results but takes up about 10x more disc space. With the JPG I must give up the 16-bit per channel color depth. Neither allow me to have a "RAW workflow" as advertised by Aperture.
What am I missing? Is this something Apple is going to work on by working more closely with Nikon (and Cannon)? (I figure Nikon keeps their conversion algorithms secret.)
Or are we out of luck here?

How do I know? Well if you change the white balance settings in-camera, different numbers come thru in Aperture. But the numbers in Aperture, ACR and the presumed numbers in-camera do not match. I wrote Nikon about this quite a while ago and they wrote back saying we do not know how other people interprete our proprietary WB numbers. See note below for additional insight as how you might look further into it
"The shooting data I referenced is available in Nikon View Browser when viewing your images. Looking at all the images at once, it is easy to compare changes made to the camera by quickly clicking on the separate thumbnails. They displayed the differences I had mentioned before. If you do not already have the software, you can download it here:
Title: Nikon View 6.2.7 Full Version - Windows
URL: http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=13760&pcreated=1131989543
Nikon Capture will not report a temperature value for White Balance, unless a manual Kelvin setting is selected using the option in the D200. As I mentioned before, Auto White Balance, and other Auto settings in the camera may not deliver a consistent result in a burst or as separate still frames even if the subject has not moved or changed. You have a cast on that one image using Auto White Balance. This is not uncommon, just choose a different value. The value may not even accurately reflect what situation you are in. It may be sunny, and you choose cloudy. The White Balance is not measuring the ambient light, it's used to measure the temperature of the light reflecting off your subject. The closer your subject is to white, the closer the value. This is why a preset is taken with a white or neutral gray card.
Since Auto White Balance covers a wide range of temperature, the exact value is not recorded anywhere that I know of. In addition, all White Balance temperatures are approximate values, as per the manual page 35. Having a cast on an image while using Auto White Balance is very possible, just choose another value more suited to the ambient light.
Set the White Balance to K , and capture an image, and this will be reported by the shooting data in Nikon Capture. I have no idea whether ACR is reporting an accurate value or not, we do not support that software, but check this value against what you see in there software."

Advice on Nikon D200 Camera Settings

I have a Nikon D200 and I was wondering what camera settings would be more beneficial for me with working in Lightroom with RAW (DNG) files? The settings I am referring to are: Sharpening, Tone Compensation, Saturation, etc. Is it better to adjust these in the camera or in the post processing of the images in Lightroom.
Also, a DNG question: I will be converting all of my NEF files to DNG, should I just leave RAW compression off in the camera or turn it on???
Thank you in advance.

So, in essence, it is the generated JPG from the RAW file that looks like crap when the tone compensation, sharpening, saturation, etc are all set to none in the D200??? I notice a big difference with the thumbnail view, I wasn't sure if it effected the actual RAW file. It seems to me though that I have noticed from time to time that some of my images do not need sharpening (since my camera settings are on 2+ sharpening), however, when I increase the sharpening in Lightroom I begin to see the halo effect due to the increase sharpening. With that being said, I set my camera sharpening back to normal and I will have to try it and see what I get (I have not shot the camera since the change).

Nikon D70 NEF in Camera Raw 4.2

Hi there,
I'm new to the forum. I have two questions. I have searched the User Forum and Adobe site in general in hopes of finding answers, but could not.
First question. Is Nikon D70 NEF compatible with Camera Raw 4.2?
Second question. When I open my Nikon D70 NEF files in Camera Raw 4.2, all the photos look extremely over exposed. The highlights are completely burned out, to the point where I can hardly recover them.
I tried taking a dual-mode photo (a NEF and JPEG captured at same time with one shot). When I open them both in Capture 4.2, the NEF version is still way over exposed and the JPEG version is normally exposed. The exposures look so completely different, yet all the exposure settings are exactly the same.
Any ideas what could be causing the problem?
Thanks so much for any insight you can provide.
Penny

Penny,
I just emailed you the following message:

The results of my conversion, based on the image you uploaded to
http://download.yousendit.com/D47FE36E76602801 seem to be exactly the same ones that were discussed here as recently as yesterday:
Ramón G Castañeda, "ACR 3.7 works better than 4.2 with RAW NEF - Why?" #59, 5 Nov 2007 11:44 pm . Read the posts beginning with #59 there.
The "overexposed" phenomenon you are seeing must be a monitor profile and/or color management issue.

Nikon RAW NEF files have white balance blown out (iPhoto 7.1.4)

I had no problems opening my Nikon D200 RAW NEF files in iPhoto until about a month ago. I think I downloaded a patch for compatibility of camera files? After that when ever I open A raw file, the colors and white balance are blown out.

I was unable to get my images to appear as I shot them. I shoot with a Nikon D80 and shoot with a Vivid setting. Now after shooting a wedding of more than 1500 images I have to find a way to color correct them all. I have attempted the downgrade to the previous version, unsuccessful. I have forwarded on my comments to apple and find that this issue effects tens of thousands of photos. As a MFA student at a major university, and studying color management and workflow, I feel I need to look elsewhere for file management as iPhoto is not able to do the job and the fact that it affects my entire library system of photos... simply unacceptable. I have always found the discussion groups extremely helpful, but this issue has effected so many of us and is such a huge integral part of the photographic process that I need to look to other programs to effectively handle my color management.
Disappointing.

Nikon D200 Settings and Lightroom

I have a Nikon D200 and right now I have my camera settings as 2+ for sharpening and 1+ for tone compensation. Is it better to leave sharpening as 'None' and tone compensation as 'Less Contrast or Normal' and do those adjustments in Lightroom? The nice thing about having these settings currently is that I have less processing of my RAW images in Lightroom (since the sharpening and tone compensation are already pretty much set).
Any suggestions or ideas? Thank You.

>... since the sharpening and tone compensation are already pretty much set.
If you like the results you're getting from your in-camera settings and don't want to process your own images -- stick to JPEG. Only Nikon Capture and Picture Project can read the D200 camera settings the way you like them. To keep it that way, Nikon hides or encrypts your settings from other applications.
Other raw processors --like ACR or LR -- rely on you to customize the "developer" to process your raw files the way you like them. As a courtesy, LR baselines your raw images to a set of standards the development team felt gave you the best place to start. You need to do the rest.
Hope this level of detail helps you. Good luck ...

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.

Nikon D200 and Aperture ?

Any thoughts on whether Aperture will import raw NEF files from the Nikon D200 ?
Other photographers that have this camera on preorder are stating that dec 15th seems like a pretty firm shipping date.
My D100 works just fine...Should the D200 be much different with NEF files ?

Nikon have a bad reputation for keeping third party manufactureres up to date with their RAW formats. WHo can forget the debacle over the encripted white-balance formats in the D70s, D50 and D2x Raw formats last year?
I wrote an article on this for Photography Monthly magazine at the time, and when I spoke to Nikon for comment it was apparant that they regretted trying to force consumers into buying Nikon's software. Even so, since then it takes longer for suport for Nikon cameras to appear in programs such as Camera Raw, compared with other manufacturers like Canon, Olympus and Pentax.
If Aperture is supposed to be a truly professional application then there is no excuse for not supporting a camera like the Nikon D200, which has been on the market since December. As a consumer I don't really care whose fault this is I just want it sorting out as soon as possible.
I'm reviewing Aperture for Photography Monthly at the moment. I started off thinnking "Five stars - best thing I've ever seen", but now I'm down to "three stars - looks great, performs adequately, major problems in some areas". And this is one of the areas!
