NIKON D40 Raw Image Support

Would i need to wait specifically for an update to edit D40 raw files or would the latest D80 update cover it , so i guess my question is, is the current format used universal to all latest nikon cameras just released?
thanks

Cross posting from the Aperture thread on the D40 raw format problem. I can now use raw files in IPhoto and Aperture while waiting for an update to come out.

  • Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture version 3.6 on Yosemite?

    Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture (version 3.6 500021000000000.3, Digital Camera RAW 6.0 - Build 761.5, Digital Camera RAW support 6000 - Build 136.1)
    I used to be able to manipuplate Nikon Raw (NEF) images from a Nikon D70 and D3200 using Aperture, until the 70 died and the 3200 was stolen about 18 months ago. Recently I did two things: (1) I upgraded OS X to Yosemite and (2) purchased a Nikon D750.  I have successfully imported NEF files from the camera to Aperture, but the images do not render/ cannot be opened/ manipulated. Instead, I see a black thumbnail for each imported image with a cassette recorder play icon in the center of each image. 
    I can view the NEF image in Finder preview mode, either directly when viewing the images on the camera SD card or after exporting the previously imported NEF image from Aperture to my desktop or user folder.  Previously imported NEF image seem unaffected.
    thanks.

    The current Apple OSX 10.10 Yosemite and the current Aperture version 3.6 do not have support yet for importing Nikon d750 nef/raw files. It usually takes Apple six to eight weeks to release a new digital camera raw update file for new Nikon dslr models. Once that digital camera raw update file is finally released, update your current version of Aperture and that will allow you to import your d750 raw files. In the meantime, you have many workarounds. In my opinion, the easiest is to save images in duplicate nef/raw and jpeg image files to your SD cards.
    And for now, just import the jpegs to Aperture 3.6 from your d750.  Process your jpegs in Aperture - and hope your clients are happy with the jpegs and can wait for later nef/raw image processing. Be sure to save and do not erase your original SD cards that include the nef/raw and jpeg files - then when Aperture finally releases a new digital camera raw file update that includes the d750 - just insert your original camera SD cards into the computer platform and import the old d750 nef/raw files and edit/process them.
    There are many other ways to proceed in the interim as well. You can always import your d750 nef/raw images into Lightroom (if it has been updated to convert the d750 nef files) and process them there. But for the time being, if you can afford to save and hold onto your original SD cards and wait for the inevitable Aperture digital camera raw update, this is a very easy and simple way to proceed.

  • NIKON D7100 RAW Images

    Is there a support of NIKON D7100 raw images available? I bought Elements and like the software, but it does not read the files of D7100. The files of my older D90 it reads. So I have great pics with my D7100, but no chance to edit it in a way which is acceptable

    @99jon, thx for your answer, I was afraid to hear this . Your suggested solution I was aware of. Unfortunately there are some destructive things going on with this solution (Camera settings, ...). And patience is one of my attributes I miss
    Thx again for your effort to answer my question.....

  • Is Lightroom able to accept and edit Nikon D4s RAW images?

    A professional photographer from a nearby town said he heard Lightroom either did not or had difficulty working with Nikon D4s RAW images. I want to find out if this true or not.

    Might have been true around the time the camera was launched but it usually only takes Adobe a few weeks to issue updates for new camera models.
    As Bob says, the D4S has definitely been supported for a while now.

  • Camera RAW image support for Pentax K100D

    Hi,
    Firstly, let me just say I have a MacBook Pro which came preloaded with Tiger. A month or so ago I upgraded to Leopard and I have applied all the available Apple software update.
    I recently got a Pentax K100D digital SLR camera capable of taking images in RAW format (the pentax saves these with a .PEF file extension) and I have been trying to view these images in Leopard. I read the article below, which says that Leopard provides system-level support for the Pentax K100D camera RAW format.
    *Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5*
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
    Now, my problem is that I cannot seem to be able to open the .PEF files with neither Quick Look, Preview, iPhoto or Aperture. Basically, none of these programs seem to be able to display my .PEF files. Aperture says 'unsupported image format'.
    I have installed the software that came with my Pentax (i.e. Pentax Photo Browser and Pentax Photo Laboratory) and these applications can display the .PEF images just fine. For what it's worth, I installed this software before I upgraded to Leopard.
    If I right-click on a .PEF file in Finder, the only programs listed in the Open context menu are the above two Pentax applications.
    So, what am I missing? Clearly something seems to be screwy in my Leopard set up. Is there some way to 'repair' the RAW image support in Leopard??
    I would appreciate any help in fixing this as I would really like to start working with RAW images in Aperture and iPhoto.
    Finally, just be aware that I am not an experienced Mac user. I have always used Windows until now and so... if you have a fix for this I would really appreciate a slightly more elaborate response.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eddie

    I have done a little more research on this...
    As it turns out, my camera is a Pentax K100D Super - not a K100D. The K100D Super is not listed as one of the supported camera RAW formats in the aforementioned article. So I guess this means that my camera is as yet unsupported. Sigh...

  • I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2

    I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2.  My raw files will not import into lightroom (it imports jpegs, but not the RAW files) I am using Lightroom 2, version 2.7, camera Raw 5.7. Can you help?

    I would highly recommend upgrading to Lightroom 4 as the processing engine is a quantum leap ahead from Lr 2 just as your camera is a leap ahead!!
    p.s.  you can upgrade directly fro 2 to 4.

  • How to view the Nikon D4 RAW images in Bridge CS3

    I am in the process of buying the lattest Nikon camera the D4. However, I am still using CS3. I am wondering if I am still going to be able to view and process the RAW images in Bridge? Will I need a plug in? If so, where can I download?

    I am wondering if I am still going to be able to view and process the RAW images in Bridge?
    No, according to this overview:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    the earliest support for Nikon D4 is ACR 6.7, the latest and last update of the Camera raw plug in that came with PSCS5
    Will I need a plug in? If so, where can I download?
    You can use the DNG route, meaning downloading the free DNG converter from Adobe and those DNG files will be viewable in CS3 and you can work with them.
    Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?platform=Macintosh&product=106
    While it is none of my business I just wonder why you buy a 5K $ state of the art top dSLR from 2012 and still use an 'old' piece of software released in 2007 to try and get the most out of it.
    And sadly enough CS3 Bridge is known to be the worst version ever, you sure will benefit from at least CS5 but CS6 offers the new 2012 Process in ACR.

  • How can I get my Nikon D3x raw images to download into the organizer of Elements 6.0

    I recently purchased a Nikon D3x and have been unable to view my raw images in Elements 6.0. I have downloaded the Raw 5.4 update. When that did not work, i uninstalled Elements and the 5.4 update and reinstalled them again. I am able to download the raw photos into the  Elements Downloader, but once the photos go to the organizer, i get  the screen saying that "the file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included". According to the Adobe Tech Support Dept., Elements 6.0 is able to support the Nikon D3x, with the Raw 5.4 update. Has anyone else run into this problem and have a solution?
    I would greatly appreciate any help.

    Thank you for your response dj_paige.
    I was able to see that the 4.2 that came with the Elements 6.0 is still on my computer (by going to the (Orange tab ) Edit/Help/About plug in). I could not find the 4.2 listed separately anywhere on the computer so that I could delete it. Is there a way to do this?  I am  a true novice, so when you say to make sure the old plug in is removed from the File Formats folder are you talking about in Tools?
    I am talking about the File Formats folder that gets created when you install PSE. You have obviously been to that folder already because you said you installed Adobe Camera Raw 5.4. Go to that folder in Windows, and make sure that the old plug-in (which was named CameraRaw.8bi, but may have been renamed by you) is deleted from that folder (not renamed, not moved to a subfolder). Then, following the instructions are on the page where you downloaded Camera Raw 5.4, install the new plug-in.

  • Reading nikon d600 raw images in elements 11?

    I use a Nikon D600 and Elements 11. I can read RAW files on one computer but when I installed Elements 11 on a new computer (Win 7 prof. 64 bit) I cannot open the NEF files. The message in Photoshop is that the file is from a camera model that is not supported by the installed version of camera RAW. Well, it is compatible with version 7.1.0 that is installed on the old computer but not the new one. I have tried to download a newer version of camera raw 7.3 but this is not reflected in the photoshop plugin information. what am I doing wrong? How can I open RAW images?

    You need to install Camera Raw 8.3 RC. The camera is supported in that version. And, of course, it will be supported in ACR 8.3 when it is officially released.

  • Lightroom 5.3 won't preview or import Nikon D7100 Raw Images

    I'm using LIghtroom 5.3, and raw camera 8.3, the latest update available. I found from Adobe's site that this version supports D7100 raw image imports.  But when trying to import D7100 raw  images, I get a message that "the file is not recognized by the raw format support in LIghtroom."
    I'm hoping someone can help with this, as obivously getting help from Adobe is not possible beyond FAQs.
    thanks,
    -Bob

    Bob,
    I am using LR 5.3 with D7100 RAW files with no problems, so there should be a solution to your situation.  It might help find a solution if you tell us what computer you have, what OS, the specs, and more importantly, how you are trying to import the files.  Are you connecting the camera directly to the computer?  Are you using a card reader -- internal or external?  Are you copying the files to your hard drive and then importing into LR from there?  At one point in the past, there was a problem with Nikon Transfer somehow changing NEF files so that they wouldn't be read by LR.
    As a test, try copying a few NEF files from you memory card to your hard drive using the OS file manager -- Finder or Windows Explorer -- and then try importing into LR.  Does that work?

  • Lighthouse 3.6 and Nikon D3200 raw images

    I have Lighthouse 3.6.  What do I need to do in order to read/edit Nikon D3200 camera's raw image?

    My mistake.  Sorry!  Support for your camera was not added until the 7.1 release.  It is still a release candidate, and you need to download it from the Adobe Labs web site.  The DNG converter is packaged with ACR in the release candidate package, and you will not be able to use ACR 7.1 with your older version of Photoshop.  But the DNG converter will work.

  • 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!

  • Does adobe lightroom open nikon d7100 raw images?

    Does anyone know if any lightroom products can open nikon d7100 raw/nef images?

    Perhaps your confusion stems from the fact that there are a couple of different lists maintained by Adobe which need to be cross-checked against each other.
    List 1
    Starting at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    the Nikon D7100 has been supported since Camera Raw 7.4 and Lightroom 4.4.
    So Lightroom 4.4 and later versions support it.
    List 2
    However, according to this list http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 7.4 is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    So CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7: therefore CS5 will never be able to open D7100 Raw files. You'd have to use the DNG converter first then use CS5.
    So your choices:
    Buy Lightroom 5
    Upgrade CS5 to CS6
    Join the Cloud or the Photoshop Photography Program
    Or stay with CS5. Convert the D7100 Raw files to DNGs using the free DNG converter. Then open the DNGs in CS5.

  • Yosemite Photos not importing Nikon D40 RAW+JPEG

    I tried to import RAW+JPEG photo sets from an SD card of a Nikon D40 and my first impression was that the photos were imported, they appeared on the Last Import album but then I noticed these issues:
    1. I was not able to edit the photo
    2. I was not able to select the RAW file to edit it
    3. When tried to import from Facebook, the Finder interface was not able to located the imported photo even though it appear on Photos app
    I thought that the issue was related to the SD card so I connected the D40 via USB and imported again. Nothing different happen, the same 3 issues.
    My workaround was this:
    1. Insert the SD Card in the slot
    2. Open Finder
    3. Navigate through the folders to locate the NEF file (RAW file)
    4. Copy the file to the Desktop
    4. Open Photos
    5. Import the  NEF file from the Desktop
    Edit was succesful and Facebook was able to upload it.
    Equipment:
    Nikon D40 + SanDisk 4GB Ultra II
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
         Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
         Memory 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
         Graphics Intel HD Graphics 3000 384 MB
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.3

    That is what Apple's RAW support page says, so you can do nothing about it:
    OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
    See the footnote at
    Nikon D4S†
    Nikon D810†
    Notes
    †Nikon RAW L format only.

  • Can't compare Nikon D750 Raw images in version 9.6.1 of iPhoto.

    This is in response to Terence Devlin’s last reply for which their was no provision for a direct reply.
    I just made an interesting discovery. Here’s the story. I have iPhoto Library Manager and have created many libraries using that program. On a hunch I tried comparing photos in several of the libraries. Selecting two or more photos and then clicking Edit did not work in any case. However, with the single exception noted below, the method I have been using for several years did work. This method is to select two or more photos, then right click on one of the photos and click on Edit in iPhoto in the menu that appears.
    So far I am experiencing a problem in comparing only the Raw images I have downloaded from the new Nikon D750 camera that I acquired just last Friday. Per my recent inquiry you advised upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite and from iPhoto v9.5.1 to v9.6.1 in order to be able to download Raw images from my new D750 to iPhoto. Those upgrades went well. However, it appears that there is a bug in version 9.6.1 of iPhoto in regard to its ability to compare Raw images from the Nikon D750. How do I notify Apple of this problem so that they can fix it? In the meantime do you know of a workaround?

    How do I notify Apple of this problem so that they can fix it?
    Since iPhoto has been dropped by Apple in leu of Photos  there's little hope that they will do any fixing on 9.6.1. However, you can report the bug to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html and hope they'll look into it.
