Nikon D2Xs / RAW(NEF) / High Speed Crop issue
I have a problem with my D2Xs when shooting in RAW with High Speed Crop enabled.
When importing into iPhoto (08 - Version 7.1.4 (371))the imported image shows a Green and Purple line down the right hand side of the frame.
It doesn't show when exporting the original file from iPhoto to another program (CS3 / Preview).
It could be the one reason that I finally have to say goodbye to iPhoto, and look at alternatives.
It was reported last year in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1260989, with no replies. Any ideas or response on this Apple?
Cheers
I doubt that it's the camera, as the issue doesn't arise on exported pics. That said, as there are only two posts on the forums (yours and the one you refer to on the Aperture forum) it's possible that a: this only arises in very limited circumstances or b: it's local to your computer rather than a bug proper.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and make a library there. Import a few pics and see if the problem is repeated there.

Just an interesting observation....
With Aperture and Tiger, Nikon D2x images shot with the smaller MP High Speed Crop (HSC) mode displayed 24 extra columns/rows (depending on orientation) of pixels; thus an image that should be 3216x2136 showed up in Aperture as 3240x2136. The extra pixels included several rows/columns of garish purple and green pixels than needed to be cropped. This is fine for one image, but not suitable for several hundred (such as shot at a sporting event). In addition to the lack of support for .xmp import, this is one of the most frustrating things about Aperture (for me at least).
With Tiger this could be traced back (I'm guessing) to Core Image in the OS because other apps using it (such as Preview) displayed similar results. I was hoping for better results with Leopard and was disappointed to find the similar side effect. But I just checked and Preview, iPhoto, etc. no longer show these extra pixels in Leopard, only Aperture. My hope is that Apple will address this in an Aperture update in the near future (perhaps a RAW Fine Tuning 1.2 option).I doubt that it's the camera, as the issue doesn't arise on exported pics.

I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files with CS6 under Windows 8.1?
I bought a new PC so I could use Photoshop CS6 more efficiently. However, after I installed CS6, I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files under Windows 8.1. I've tried updating CS6, but nothing seems to work.
First, I hadto load the most recent version of the Adobe Application Manager. Then I could see all of the CS6 Updates including the most recent Camera Raw update.
I had to run one update at a time for it to work correctly.
But now I'm cooking with gas.
Thanks for your help. -
Nikon Df RAW (NEF) files will not load previews into Lightroom 5.4. Nikon d300s RAW (NEF) files load just fine. Df files do not.
Thank you for your response.
I have loaded directly into Lightroom using import and via Nikon Capture NX2. RAW files display fine in Capture.
In Lightroom, blank previews are created for each available image, with the message "Preview unavailable for this file." -
When will Adobe release the update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?
when will Adobe release the Lightroom update to support Nikon Df raw/NEF file?
In the mean time, or if it doesn't make it into LR 5.3 and you like techy stuff, see http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/52616096 for how to patch the exif of Df NEFs to look like D4 NEFs, as the presumption is that the sensor is identical.
Warning: take note of the advice in that thread to make backups of your NEFs first. Second warning: read the whole thread. In the first post he says Exiftool when he means Exifchanger. -
Has anyone solved their LR4 / Nikon D800 RAW NEF issues?
I've done a lot of reading on this topic and think I have a handle on how easily the new D800 NEF files can be corrupted by the older versions of Nikon Transfer.
When I began using the camera I accidently made the mistake of corrupting them and haven't had any issues since... until yesterday.
I photographed last night, and imported about 160 RAW NEF files onto my brand new Macbook Pro with Retina for a same day preview for the host. I transfered the images using ViewNX2 & by association it's built-in Nikon Transfer 2 utility. I used the built in SD Card reader on the Macbook which has always worked in the past. But alas!!!!! While they imported fine, LR4 can't import them and gives me the error "Preview Unavailable at this Time". I should note... Nikon Transfer 2 was set to clear the card after the transfer .
Nikon ViewNX2 can see the images and I'd hoped to fix the issue by just converting them to JPEG's but, no bueno. It tells me it can't. This is the precise issue I can into when I accidently used the original version months ago on my iMac. But it's impossible that I have the old version on this unit. It's less than a month old and I'd downloaded the most recent version from Nikon. So I'm running under the assumption that the file is somehow corrupted.
I've seen a lot of people running into issues getting used to the new workflow requied to deal with these enormous RAW's.
Here's the all important question. After the files have an issue... is there anyway to recover them??? I can't retake them, the original shots were wiped from the card. So what do I do? At least Nikon View can see them, so I have to believe that there is some image information there.
Has anyone sucessfully fixed the issue?
Going forward I plan to just import everything directly through LR4, so I think that'll aliviate future heartburn... but what's my "undo" solution?
I know there's a lot that's been written on this topic and really appriciate the support!
-JaredWhat Bob Frost just posted (after fixing the hidden http// part of the URL) worked for the image you uploaded, so try that:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
BTW, I answered 14 to the bit-depth-12-or-14 question the utility asked, and it worked ok on the example corrupted NEF.
Below is what I was typing up and testing before posting, and works to extract the embedded JPG Preview, but does not actually fix the corrupted NEFs, which is a better solution. I am including it, below, for reference in case someone without corrupted NEFs also wants to extract JPGs from their raw files. It uses the same tool from Phil Harvey without his customizations to work specifically with corrupted NEFs.
== Original Message ==
The raw data in the NEF you uploaded appears corrupted or otherwise unusable because when viewing in Windows Explorer using the latest Nikon NEF Codec that supports the D800, all I see is a small thumbnail then black with a few parts of color, however for that one file, at least, the embedded JPG preview is intact, and 7360 x 4912 in size, enough to see the camera-shake blur.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/9905000/JBR_20120910_175757.jpg
I’m on a PC and you’re on a Mac but the same tool is available - exiftool a command-line program you run in terminal (on a Mac) or in a Command Prompt window on a PC:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
If what you download includes a (-k) then remove it by renaming before attempting to run the command, below. On Windows I would rename exiftool(-k).exe to exiftool.exe without the (–k) part. The (-k) tells exiftool to display the exif information by default if you drag-and-drop to it. While this is normally useful, for the purpose of extracting JPGs from NEFs this might be confusing so I’m suggesting to rename the executable before using it.
Here is the command-line to extract the fullsize JPG from the NEFs and then copy the metadata tags from the NEF to the newly written JPG:
.\exiftool -b -JpgFromRaw -w %d%f_%ue.jpg -execute -tagsfromfile @ -srcfile %d%f_%ue.jpg -overwrite_original -common_args --ext jpg .
The above command assumes both the exiftool executable and all the NEFs are in the current folder. The current folder is designated by a single period both at the very beginning and the very end of the command-line. If exiftool is in a different folder, then supply that path instead of the initial period, and if the NEFs are in a different folder, substitute that folder-name for the final period. The final period has a space separating it from the preceding –ext jpg.
It is also assumed that only NEFs and the executable are in the current folder. If there are other files, they may confuse things so you might want to move things to a temporary working folder, and I’d suggest working with a copy of the NEFs just in case something goes haywire, you’re not overwriting the originals, corrupt as they may be.
For reference, the above command-line was simplified from a more complex example that didn’t quite work with your file, one that conditionally extracts either the full-size JPG or the tiny JPG-thumbnail. The example is the last one in the Copying Examples section, here:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/exiftool_pod.html#copying_examples -
Surely I'm not the only person on the planet to own a Nikon D2Xs, shoot RAW NEF files and not be able to process them through Aperture?
A very nice chap at tech support informed me that, at the moment, Aperture can not support RAW files from the flagship Nikon camera. My D2X and D1X never had any problems, I don't understand?
Anyone have any idea when this problem might be rectified?I'm not the only person on the planet to own a Leica D-Lux 2 , shoot RAW files and not be able to process them through Aperture?
A very nice chap at tech support informed me that, at the moment, Aperture can not support RAW files from the flagship Leica D-Lux 2 . had any problems whit photoshop CS2 before, I don't understand is especial settings in Aperture instalation or what?

Photoshop Elements 8.0 will not open Nikon D610 RAW .NEF files
I am using Photoshop Elements 8.0; just purchased a Nikon D610 and when I try and open the RAW .NEF files I get error message saying wrong file type.
Hi,
Nikon D610 is supported in ACR 8.3 (adobe camera raw version 8.3) while PSE8 is quite old. You may convert to DNG and then process converted DNGs in PSE8. For 8.3 DNG converter, see http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5694
Thanks

Merge to HDR Pro does not work on Nikon D800 RAW (NEF) files
Hi,
I can't get Merge to HDR Pro to work on NEF RAW files from my Nikon D800 - nothing happens after after confirming the file selection. However, it works ok if I convert those files to DNG (using Lightroom 4), and if I use the D800's JPGs, and if I use Nikon D7000 NEFs. It just seems to be a problem with Nikon D800 NEFs.
Steps taken:
1. File -> Automate -> Merge to HDR Pro
2. Browse... and select NEF files (even selecting 2 files does not work).
3. Attempt to Automatically Align Source Images is checked. Then press OK.
Expected result:
Progress cursor spins as files are loaded and HDR dialog appears.
Actual result:
Nothing happens - no progress cursor or CPU or disk activity - it is as if I had clicked cancel instead of ok.
This is a clean install of the 64 bit CS6 beta on Windows 7 64 bit, with no plugins, and I reset preferences (Ctrl+Alt+Shift on startup). I do have my existing CS5 Extended still installed, as well as Lightroom 3.6 and 4.0.
I can send you the NEFs if you like.

The Ps CS6 public beta version contains the same camera support as found in Ps CS5/5.5 compatible CR 6.6. There will be future updates to CR 7 for Ps CS6 to pick up more camera support. The Nikon D800 NEF files are not supported, yet.
If you like to work with your D800 files in the public beta build now, you'll have to get the DNG Converter 6.7 from here: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw6-7/
and convert your files to DNG.

Nikon D300 RAW NEF files not recognized ???
I just got a new Nikon D300. I Have been using a Nikon D80 shooting RAW with no problems. I cannot get iPhoto or Aperture to recognize any RAW files. RAW+jpeg results in the jpeg files being imported by not the RAW files.
All software is the newest version, iPhoto08 v 7.1.1 and Aperture 1.5.6 Here is the error message I get in iPhoto
Unreadabel Files:
/private/var/folders/1s/1suEP7hYGu15kLLAa5I2+++TI/-Tmp-/iPhoto/DSC_0075.NEF
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
SteveI just pickup a D300 and unfortunately Aperture nor iPhoto will not import the picture in the RAW format. Do you know if the RAW format will be updated in the new OS release that is to be announced?
I also contacted Nikon about the Capture NX program that came with the camera and Nikon told me that they are working with Apple to resolve the issues with there program as well.
It would be nice if the Camera venders would work with Apple before introduction to make sure the software is available to support the hardware they introduce..

Photoshop CS vs. Nikon D40 RAW (.nef)
Hi there,
I can't open my RAW photos with Photoshop CS 1. I have a iBook G4, running on OS 10.3.9.
I have a Nikon D40, and my photos are in .nef format.
Thanks,
Brianna.Brianna-
Actually this
is a good place to start, or better still probably the Photography forum at
The ACR Forum logically is ACR-centric and like Ramón suggests has good info on using
Adobe ACR to convert your RAW images. However there are many other solutions for converting Nikon NEF photos. Many pros find that Nikon CaptureNX2, Capture One or Apple's Aperture provide visually superior NEF conversion to Adobe's ACR. Individual cameras and individual preferences do vary.
Unfortunately with a G4 iBook the limited hardware power is a significant limiting issue. And OS 10.3.x excludes almost everything that will drive RAW conversions from a modern camera like the D40. Probably you are forced into an (IMO inferior) ACR2.4/DNG RAW conversion like Ramón suggests, or
for likely far better RAW conversion quality you can investigate using Nikon ViewNX, which I believe came free with your D40 or can be downloaded from Nikon, and alleges to run OK under OS 10.3.9.
IMO Nikon's software is a bit clunky, but only Nikon has full unimpeded access to the RAW data of Nikon cameras, so you will probably like the resultant RAW conversions of ViewNX
if it runs adequately on your setup. Do a trial.
These suggestions are
in addition to not in lieu of Ramón's ACR suggestions, so try them too.
Good luck! -
Iphoto and Nikon D7200 RAW (NEF)
Hello all,
I just bought the new Nikon D7200. I shot some photo's and wanted to download them into Iphoto. Iphoto does not recocnize the NEF (RAW) files.
Is this because the camera is too new? and isn't supported yet?
If so does anyone know when an update is coming out?
I am using OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 and Iphoto 9.6.1
love to hear from youIt's too new. No one outside of Apple knows when (or even if) any updates may be issued.

Nikon D90 RAW (NEF) files imported via iPhoto are not recognized
Would appreciate your help. Just got an iMac. OS X 10.6.7. Installed Aperture 3.1.2. I shoot RAW+JPEGs. Imported both files fine to iPhoto '11 from my old PC. When Aperture then imported an Event from iPhoto, I still see two versions of each shot, but Aperture calls them both JPEG. On one version the metadata is complete, on the second some is missing (e.g., Exposure Mode, Lens). Both are shown as 12.2 MP, no matter what. Can't do any editing this way! Any thoughts on what might be going on? Many thanks! --Bob

Photoshop CS3 unable to import Nikon D90 RAW NEF Files?
I'm working on MAC with the latest OS and CS3 Photoshop and Lightroom 1.4.1 I'm looking for a way to import the latest Nikon NEF RAW files into Adobe. Will I need to wait for Adobe RAW 5 plugin? I cannot open the latest Nikon NEF Files from the new Nikon D90 slr camera...Any suggestions? Or a date for the new Camera RAW plug
in??
Thanks,
[email protected]ACR 5 will NOT work with CS3, only with CS4.
For CS3
and your camera you need ACR 4.6, a nominally beta Release Candidate downloadable from Adobe Labs.

Nikon D90 RAW/NEF color vs. in-camera JPG color
I'm new to Aperture and also (now) taking more NEF+JPG images.
I've been satisfied with most of my JPGs in the past but I'm taking more RAW images now and finding that they don't match the JPG color when viewed in Aperture 3. When I use ViewNX to tweak RAW images the "starting point" for color and adjustments is much closer to the matching JPG but when I use Aperture, there are obvious differences between the JPG and Aperture's 'conversion' of the RAW image. The listed White Balance is different when Auto WB is used and the histogram is much different. The RAW image isn't a good starting point from which to begin tweaking to improve upon the JPG.
I realize that there are efforts by others to "profile" the Nikon cameras but I'm surprised that Aperture is so far off the mark. Both iPhoto and Photoshop Elements seem to do a better job.
(The latest ACR is installed.)I suppose it depends on what in-camera processing you're doing (Normal, Vivid, active D-lighting, etc). What you're seeing on the screen, and in ViewNX is edits applied to the jpeg embedded in the RAW file.
The RAW will always look different from the jpeg, because the RAW has absolutely no processing done to it. iPhoto should look identical to Aperture as I believe it uses the same RAW processing. PSE/Lightroom/PS all use ACR, and they should all look the same, but will likely look somewhat different from iPhoto and Aperture.
I generally just keep my D80 on Normal (and it doesn't have active D-lighting, but I can selectively add D-lighting in the edit menu if I choose (I don't)), and I find that a small .05 bump to Contrast, .1 to Definition, .05-.1 to Saturation, and .1 to Vibrance is about exactly what I see on the camera screen. It's a good starting point, and I just created a preset I apply to every image I import (had a very similar preset in Lightroom).
One thing you could do is set up a tripod, set your camera to RAW+Jpeg, and go through each of the color modes, and active D-light modes. Once you get those into Aperture, you can tweak the RAW to match it's Jpeg, and save that as a preset. Then the next time you're out shooting, when you bring in your RAW images, you can just apply whatever preset (Normal, Softer, Vivid, etc) to them, and you'll have a starting point matching the out of camera Jpegs.
I'm actually planning on doing just that for my D80, and eventually when I upgrade to a D300 doing the same for it.
