Nikon D3100 Raw issues

I have been using Lightroom 3.6 on a Dell laptop to edit raw files from my D3100 and it has always worked perfectly. However I purchased a Lenovo laptop and installed Lightroom 3.5 (with the updates) and Lightroom says it cannot read the files I transfer. I have an SD to USB because there is not an SD card reader built into the computer. Could this be why I am not able to work with my raw files, or is there another reason? I would really like to get this issue fixed because I have to be able to edit these files.

The camera model itself has been supported snce Lightroom 3.3 so there should be no issues with LR itself

Have you tried installing LR3.6 on the Lenovo?

Nikon D3100 Raw Import Issues

I am unable to import raw files from a Nikon D3100 to iPhoto 6 (using OS X 10.6.8). The error message is "The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)."
Any idea how to resolve this?

No Nikon D3100 raw support with Aperture 2

I have Aperture 2, and have recently bought a Nikon D3100. All updates have been made, and I am able to see the raw files with Preview. But they are still not recognized by the Aperture 2 application.
Is it a bug? What gives?

With all due respect this has nothing to do with "gaming". LR2 users can't update to ACR6 either, same situation.
I feel frustrated. Now I'll have to start using other application, since I will not continue to invest on an application that does not update raw support and tries to game me into upgrading.
So you're willing to buy a whole new application instead of paying for the $99 upgrade? And this application will offer you lifetime support for any new camera bodies, no upgrades required, ever? Hmm...
It's the reality of software: at some point, you need to upgrade. Like it or not.
The advantages of AP3 over AP2 for any serious photographer are well worth the minimal upgrade cost. The RAW updates last for the life cycle of the product they're aimed at. When a new version comes out support usually follows. This isn't necessarily fun but pretty standard all around.

Camera RAW for a Nikon D3100

I have CS5 but i cannot open my RAW files. My cmera is a Nikon D3100.

Hi,
Nikon D3100 needs Adobe Camera raw version 6.3, in order to work with PS CS 5
Please check the ACR version on your PS CS 5
1. Open PS CS 5
2. If its Windows OS, then click help >> about plugin >> camera raw
if its mac, then click Photshop menu >> About Plugin >> Camera raw
3. Check the version of the camera raw, if its less than 6.3, Nikon D3100 will not work
In order to update your Camera Raw, please update your PS CS 5 from the Help menu
This is the document where all the cameras along with their supported ACR versions are mentioned : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Once, ACR is updated to 6.3 or greater (6.7 is the maximum version) then , the pics from Nikon D3100 will work and open without any issues.
Thanks,
Baljeet

Looking for the camera raw plugin for Nikon d3100

Hello!
I'm familiar with how to install a camera raw plugin for photoshop. However, I've had a difficult time finding the correct download link for the Nikon d3100 for ps cs4. Will you please point me in the right direction with a link or otherwise? Thanks so much!

ACR - Adobe Camera Raw versions are specific to the version of Photoshop you have.
They don't provide updates to your version for cameras that were released much later.
You need to download the LATEST version of DNR Converter and use this to convert a FOLDER that contains your D3100 files to DNGs which then can be opened in your older version of ACR for Photoshop CS4.
The Adobe DNG Converter, a free utility that converts files from more than 350 cameras to DNG, enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files to a more universal DNG raw file.
Adobe DNG Converter for Mac OS
Adobe DNG Converter for Windows

I can't see RAW photos (from Nikon D3100) in iPhoto...

Hi!!
I am trying to import photos from mi Nikon D3100 to Iphoto 11, but there is a problem: I can't open the photos; the files are located in the folder of Iphoto Library, but it can´t be open by Iphoto. The extension file is.raw, but i have updated Iphoto to get compatibility with this extension file.
What can I do?

I had import the photos from NikonD3100 with Iphoto; after finishing, appears a message "photos have been imported ok"or something similar. But the events created are empty, there are no photos inside. Then, I thought that the problem was in the import, but I looked for the photos in the Iphoto Library with the finder, and the files were ther. I think that the problem colud be related with the .raw extension file (but I have all updated...)
Thank you for your help from Spain
Regards
Alex

ACR 4.1 Issue - Lightroom Issue with Nikon D40x Raw Files

I am running Windows Vista and CS3 and am trying to process Nikon D40x raw files (NEFs) using ACR 4.1. The images come up properly in Bridge. However, when I try to add metadata using a metadata template, I get the error: "There was an error writing metadata to DSC_130.NEF." When I try to rotate an image in Bridge, I get the same error. If I try to do a Batch Rename, the name does not change. If I double-click on the image, it opens properly in ACR and the image can be rotated in ACR, and it then appears rotated in Bridge.
I also tried importing the D40x images in Lightroom. The following error appeared: "Problem Importing Files. The following files were not imported. The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."

Jeff,
I installed camera raw.8bi (size is 10,187kb)in
c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
I'm beginning to think this is a Windows Vista issue. I just installed ACR 4.1 on my XP laptop and it works fine. For both the Vista machine and the laptop, my raw files are on an external drive. If I move the raw files on the Vista machine from the external drive to the c: drive, there is no problem. I'm exploring whether there is some permissions issue in Vista that is not allowing me to write to the raw files if they are on an external drive. Ain't new operating systems just great fun!
Thanks!

Getting Nikon D3100 NEF Photos Into CS4 Camera Raw

I am a novice photographer (some of my work is here: http://www.chrisinmotion.com/office1.htm). I recently bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR but can't for the life of me get any of the Native NEF images to open in Photoshop CS4 Camera Raw. What steps do I need to follow to accomplish this task and what additional software do I need to download. I have updated CS4 with all the plug-ins. I would be ever so grateful for a step by step outline. Thank you. -- Chris

The Nikon D3100 is NOT supported by any version of Adobe Camera Raw that runs with CS4. There will never be any updates to CS4.
You have three options:
1.— Upgrade to CS5; or
2.— Download the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter, currently 6.4, and use it to convert your raw Nikon files to raw DNG files first, then open those raw DNG files in Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 hosted by Photoshop 11.0.2 ("CS4"); or
3.— Use the Nikon software.

CS3 - NIKON D3100 - opening RAW-files

my cs3 can't open NEF from my Nikon D3100 - for the NEF of D300 i had to change the plug-in - what are my options to solve the problem
best regards

Download the 6.6 DNG converter to convert your d3100 files to dng copies which can then be opened in the cs3 camera raw plugin.

Also the newest camera raw plugin for cs3 is 4.6

CS5 RAW and Nikon D3100 - no go

How often does Adobe update Camera Raw? I have a new Nikon D3100 that is not supported.

Approximately 3 monthly intervals.
You can always use the free, standalone DNG converter until your camera is supported.

New Nikon D3100... Can't view NEF files in Bridge?!

Hi guys,
I have just purchased a Nikon D3100, taken some snaps and tried to view them using Adobe Bridge.
Unfortunately I only get the NEF icon and when I try to open in Photoshop the file is not recognised.
I have attempted to follow numerous discussions and help topics to be able to view my photos but none have seemed to have worked and now Im sure I have files/folders in the wrong place or deleted!!! It is incredibly fustrating!!!
I am an amateur running CS4 and would really appreciate if someone could help me view my photos?
Jim

I believe your camera was released after Photoshop CS5, which means you will need that version of Photoshop for direct support of your raw files. However, if you download the current version of the DNG converter you can convert your NEF to DNG files. Then you will be able to open the raw image data with your version of Photoshop/ACR.

I cannot see Nikon D610 raw file preview in Finder.

I can see and develop my Nikon D610 RAW file in iPhoto (latest version v 9.4.3) but surprisingly I cannot see them in the Finder (preview, icon preview, etc).
I have tried to fix it by downloading the latest Digital Raw upgrade file (5.0.2 and even 5.0.1) but the setup program refuses to launch arguing I don't have iPhoto 9.4.3 or Aperture 3.4.5
But I have iPhoto 9.4.3. I have even redownloaded it from Appstore and reinstall it but without sucess.
And to add to the complexity, I tested the NEF file with another mac (same OS version, same iPhoto version) and it works well. So I don't understand what is going wrong with my iMac
Any idea how to solve this issue ?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Emmanuel

Problem solved. My iPhoto application was in a folder, which is preventing Digital Raw update from seeing it and therefore preventing the install.
After having put back iPhoto into the main Application folder, I have been able to reinstall digital raw update (5.0.1 and then 5.0.2, as 5.0.1 deals with my d610 and 5.0.2 is the latest version). Once install, I can see the preview in the finder as I wanted

Iphoto not recognizing my preset manual white balance setting on my Nikon D3100

hi there.
i've been using iPhoto to edit my photos uploaded as RAW, from my Nikon D3100. While i've been very satisfied with the results, i've run across a small problem. i've used various white balance settings on my camera: incandescent, flourescent, auto white balance, and recently started using the manual white balance. when uploading pictures to iphoto, the photo has indicated what white balance setting i have used, except when i use my manual white balance feature, the information shows up as AWB (automatic white balance).
can somebody please explain to me why this is? any other setting i use shows up with the appropriate icon, according to what i choos on my camera. is this a glitch? what is the manual white balance setting icon supposed to look like in iPhoto?
Again, I shoot in RAW, and upload directly to iPhoto successfully, as RAW.

I think this article will help explain this
and this one from Adobe
— Raw files have not had while balance set. They are tagged with whatever the camera's setting was, (either that which was manually set or via auto-white-balance), but the actual data has not been changed. This allows one to set any colour temperature and white balance one wishes after the fact with no image degradation. It should be understood that once the file has been converted from the linear space and has had a gamma curve applied (such as in a JPG) white balance can no longer be properly done.
So the displaed WB is simply a tag and has no effect on the image - it is simply information about the camera settings

Nikon D3100 NEF Files w/CS4

Hopefully someone can help me.
This is the first time I will (hopefully) be using RAW files. I have installed the Camera Raw 5.7 plug-in into my copy of CS4 (Photoshop), but can't load the NEF files ... am I missing a step?
Thanks!
Mark

Yosemite/Aperture 3.6 No Support for Nikon D810/ Raw-S Files ?

I am thoroughly confused. I only recently began "drinking the Apple Kool-Aid" and am quite disturbed to learn (after upgrading to Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) that Nikon d810 Raw-S files are NOT supported....
What gives ? I mean you pay premium dollars for what is allegedly a premium product (MacBook Pro - Retina latest edition) you have the latest/ greatest software (Yosemite & Aperture 3.6) and the latest/greatest camera (Nikon D810) and one of the file formats is simply "Not supported ?" Seriously ??
I have had more compatibility issues with Apple and its software since being convinced by all the marketing hype to "drink the Kool-Aid" than I ever had with my ancient Dell XP PC laptop....
Getting back to the point. Why no Raw-S Support for Nikon d810 ?
Will there be support for the Nikon d-810 Raw-S files at some point ? If so, when ?
If not, WHY ?
What should I do with the 400 photos I took of a high school hockey game in Raw-S format given I am now drinking only the "Apple Kool-Aid?"
Signed....

Apple can't release it until Nikon supplies them with the required information.
Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
