Nikon D4 NEF files not read by Lightroom3

LR3 wont read NEF files from my new D4  LR3 is updated

That's right. Check the release notes and you'll find that Lr 3 doesn't support the D4.
You'll need Lr 4(.1 RC) for that, or convert the NEFs to DNG first.

  • V1.3 and Nikon D100 NEF files - Not so good!

    I still use a Nikon D100 for underwater work. I recently updated from Lightroom 1.1 to 1.3 and discovered some very strange results when working with NEF files generated by my D100. There is a dark magenta cast overlaid on every file. My D200 NEF files on the other hand look fine. I went back to Lightroom v1.2 and the problem is gone. I called support and they had the same problem on their end. I realize the Nikon D100 is quickly going the way of the Dodo bird but you would think Adobe would have at least tested this still common raw file format before releasing the updated build.
    In any event, just a word of caution. If you still work with D100 NEF files I'd suggest not upgrading to 1.3.

    Scott - you are experiencing the same confusion that I was. Here is what I did:
    1. Google "download dng 4.2" - it should take you to Adobe's site where you can download the converter;
    2. Create a folder in Lightroom under the folder where your compressed D100 NEFs - the magenta ones - are located; I titled mine "DNG Conversions";
    3. In the DNG converter choose the source folder with the magentaized NEFS and the destination folder as the one you set up in step 2 above, and then "Convert";
    4. When the conversion is complete, go into Lightroom, right-click the new folder and synchronize it. All of the new DNG files should appear in the "import" window. Once the new DNGs are imported (i.e., the new folder is synched), you should be able to work with them in Lightroom normally, magenta free.
    I'm a novice user of Lightroom and had never done anything with the DNG converter...as such was really confused - didn't realize it meant you had to take the conversion process outside of Lightroom and then re-import the new images. Hope this helps. Best -

  • Nikon D3300 NEF files not importing into iPhoto with Yosemite. Videos import, photos come in black

    I'm having issues importing NEF (Raw) photos since I upgraded to Yosemite. I also updated iPhoto to the most current version. The videos will import, but the photos are coming in black. I can see them in the Nikon photo viewer on the Mac with no issues.

    There are a series of posts on the forum right now detailing issues with Raw support. By no means all folks have them - I don't for instance - but many seem to.
    Try the fix in this thread
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
    which basically trashes the Raw support and reinstalls it on your Mac.
    As always, back up first,

  • New Nikon d600 NEF files not supported by Elements9

    I have a question, my old Nikon d3000 and photoshop elements9 had worked great together.  Now I upgraded my camera to the Nikon d600 and the RAW files are not supported by it... Any suggestions how to resolve this?

    The D600 only gets full support in version 7.3 which is out of beta testing and now available as a release candidate. You may want to wait for the final version of camera raw 7.3 which will be available shortly. Alternatively download the release candidate now but make a not to update when the final version is released.
    Adobe Labs Downloads click here DNG Converter 7.3 RC
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • 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?

  • CS4 will not open Nikon D7000 NEF files; Is there a DNC that will open them?

    I have CS4 and Light Room 2
    Apparently there is no Camera Raw update for the new Nikon D7000 NEF files for CS4.
    I therefore down loaded the Adobe Digital Negative Converter Verson 6.3.0.79 which is compatible with Camera Raw 5.4 or later. 
    Using that DNC, when I do step 1, "Select the images to convert" I get the message "No items match your search".  It apparently is not recongnizing the D7000 NEF files.
    Is there another DNC that will open and convert the D7000 NEF files?

    I just bought the d7000 yesterday and was experiencing the same issue with cs4. I downloaded the DNG converter from adobe and selected the whole folder where the raw files were located (I was unable to select individual images) and it worked fine. It processed the files one by one with new name (without the $500 CS5 pricetag for now). The DNG files open in bridge and psd. Perhaps try selecting the folder?  Good luck.

  • RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

    RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
    You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3.   Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
    Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
    Please post details of the version you are using at present.

  • Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files

    Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files in Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.6 … any suggestions?

    I am now officially perplexed. Tried all of the following
    a) Cleaned up appdata/Adobe/Camera RAW => tried opening the RAW file, (each time a different one so I don't use the same XMP)
    b) Removed the Photoshop preferences file   =>  ""
    c) Removed Registry entry for Camera RAW =>  ""
    d) Uninstalled CS5.5 and re-installed (as suggested by Adobe Customer service folks) => ""
    DIDNT WORK. YES, I USED UPDATE FEATURE IN PHOTOSHOP TO GET LATEST CAMERA RAW, NOT RC
    e) Installed CS6, went straight for updates and it did install Camera RAW 7.1.
    Tried to open the file, same old message.
    And, I also downloaded Lightroom 4.1. Couldn't import the files. Went straight for the update, nope, it said I don't need any.
    It's now been 48 hours into this problem and never been more frustrated.

  • Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files in Photoshop CS5

    Cannot open Nikon D4 NEF files in Photoshop CS5 and Camera Raw 6.6 … any suggestions?

    Thanks for your reply
    .... strange? in the document you mention above the Nikon D4 is not mentioned as being newly supported and yet when I went to get info about this:
    http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html
    It says that the D4 should be OK in Camera Raw 6.6.
    I confess to being slightly confused.

  • 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.

  • Has anyone noticed 9 Horizontal black lines in Nikon V3 NEF files in the shadows?

    Has anyone noticed horizontal black lines in Nikon V3 NEF files, as shown in the image. I have opened the image in Aperture and there are no lines, also tried 2 different computers.

    The lines are there in the raw data, and not something Adobe is doing.
    Here is a screenshot of the central area in RAWDigger raw-analysis software, with things set to stretch the channels much as a high-ISO image would have:
    What I can't tell from the images is if these lines are in optical path, like streaks on the sensor, or if they are added by the process that reads the raw data--read pattern noise.  It is possible that Aperture would have access to "dust delete data" if such a capability exists for the camera and is interpolating around the artifacts or if there is some other reason Nikon software doesn't show them.  I don't know.  You may be able to find information online but rest assured it is a camera issue and not an Adobe issue unless you're asking why Adobe software isn't fixing the problems automatically like Aperture must be doing, and I would guess Adobe doesn't have any way to fix sensor anomalies that aren't more than 1 pixel in size--single hot or dead pixels.
    Unless Nikon can replace or service the camera to remove such things, I don't know what else to suggest.

  • New iMac vs a G5 1.8 with Nikon D2X NEF File Processing

    Hello all,
    I've been debating upgrading to a new iMac, and now with the 2.8 Extreme processor, my choice has been muddied a little, but I can't find any data anywhere if/how much faster it will be vs my old G5 processor. I'm probably not looking in the right places, but these forums have helped me in the past, so I thought I would turn to the Apple Illuminati.
    I process Nikon D2X NEF files in CS3, and currently the fastest I can do is about three per minute. . which is dreadfully slow, nevermind trying to make adjustments in ACR and seeing the results immediately. Strangely enough, it used to process almost 5 per minute with CS2, before upgrading to CS3, but that is another matter.
    Anyway, are there any users out there who can tell me how fast they are processing D2X NEF files with CS3 and using the new Intel processors?
    I look forward to hearing from any and every body. .
    Thanks!
    DL

    Bought a first gen Aluminum iMac with the 2.8ghz Extreme processor, and it is about four times faster processing Nikon D2x NEF files. . it screams!

    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.
