Nikon D40x raw files not recognized by Lightroom.

Any updates available for the Nikon D40x ?

It has only been supported since Camera RAW 4.1, so will probably come in the 1.1 update.
You can check the list of ACR and Lightroom supported cameras at:
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
You can use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your D40x files to DNG and they will be readable by Lightroom 1.0 and earlier versions of ACR.

Nikon D750 raw files not readable by lightroom?

I just purchased this camera and found out Lightroom 5.4 can not read the files.
Is there a way around this problem?

You need to download and install and use the free Adobe DNG Converter version 8.7RC to convert your RAW photos to DNG, and then import the DNG into Lightroom

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!

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop. Is there a fix? Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more. http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

Camera RAW, file not recognized after import and migration, Aperture 2.1

Hi,
I have recently purchased a 1DMKIII and am constantly getting "file not recognized" after I import and even after migrating RAW files. My 1DS MK1 RAW files have no issues. The RAW files render just fine using CS4 bridge. Any ideas here on a fix? Other than ditching Aperture (not desireable)
Thanks,
Greg

Hummmm..I have just 'manned-up' from a 2gb macbook running tiger+CS4 to a iMac 24" 8gb running leopard BUT!
I shoot RAW and the iMac will not recognize the NEF RAW files! this is soo frustrating - tried to update Camera Raw but to no avail.
please help! I've got 987 raw wedding photos to process!!
I dont know what to do!

Sony A7 mk2 RAW file not recognized

I recently upgraded from a Sony A7 to a A7mk2. When I try to import the RAW file from the A7mk2, Lightroom cannot provide preview of the file and would not import the files. It was working fine with A7 files. I tried to open the new file with Photoshop CC and Camera Raw could open the file. Can anyone tell me what I am missing in Lightroom. I am currently running Lightroom 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7

The regular version does have an update. its available here. Product updates
You can only use the CC if you have a subscription.
If you have a license key you have to use the regular update.

NIKON D800E files not recognized in lightroom 4.4

my lightroom 4 is up to date (waiting for lightroom 5 to be given to me - apparently they are having ordering issues so may take 24 hrs and i need to finish this project NOW)
why does it not recognize NIKON D800E files? is there a way around this or do i have to wait for my lightroom 5 to be delivered?
getting a message saying 'The files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom. (517)'
thanks!

That makes sense, especially if the NEFs are also not readable in LR5.
To correct any corruption from using obsolete Nikon software on newer camera NEFs, you can use the utility, here:

Nikon D3s RAW files are underexposed by Lightroom / Camera RAW

I'm used to shot RAW files only.
I recently bought a D3s, alongside with my D700 and I noticed D3s files were darker than D700 ones, by about 1/2 or even 2/3 stop. Initially I thought the problem was one of the cameras, but after some tests I found the problem is my RAW converter. Infact this happens only with NEF (RAW) files, and if I shot a RAW+JPG image, the D3s RAW file opened in Lightroom 4 (or Camera RAW) is underexposed if compared with its JPG on-camera version.
I think no camera setting is affecting this behaviour. I reset either the D3s and the D700. No D-Lighting is set on-camera. This happens only with the D3s and only with Camera RAW and Lightroom.
Other RAW converters display the D3s RAW file correctly exposed, the same as its JPG version, and the same as the D700 RAW and JPG. I tested so far Capture One, DxO Pro Optics and Raw Therapee.
Color profile used is custom, but I tried using Adobe Standard and the result is the same.
Default develop settings affect only color profile and sharpening, and I got the same problem on a fresh new installation of Lightroom where no default develop settings are set.
If anybody with a D3s can check if his NEFs are underexposed if compared to their JPG versions when opened in LR or Camera RAW, I would appreciate that much.
Any idea about the origins of my problem would be great.
Thank you.

I know, DdeGannes, but a different rendition of 2 pro cameras at the same settings is a bit frustrating.
Would it be better to underexpose the D700 while shooting, or setting a default -0,5EV on every imported picture, if the problem goes on?
Moreover, seems the Nikon D3s ISOs need to be pushed +2/3 to obtain the same exposure as the D700 in LR workflow. So the advantage of this great sensor could be lost.
I'd like to know more about D700 and D3s rendition comparison in LR/ACR at same settings.
It's not unusual for two camera bodies of even the same exact make and model to have Exposure differences of up to 1/3 EV, which is very noticeable. Ditto for White Balance differences. For Example:
Camera 1 is +1/3 EV and Camera 2 is -1/3 EV = 2/3 EV Difference
Camera 1 White Balance is -500KTemp and Camera 2 is +500K Temp = 1000K Difference
Tack on minor differences between the LR Camera Profiles and it will get much worse if heading in opposite directions, as above.
The only way to compare the raw NEF files from two cameras is to use a RAW converter that applies NO profiles, NO Gamma Correction, or any other modifications to the raw pixel data. See may post here for information on 'Rawnalyze:'

You can download it here:

Online manual here:
http://www.oitregor.com/numeric/Rawnalyze/Rawnalyse_doc/datas/RawnalyzeGuide.htm
None of the external links in the manual work, but nothing to worry about. If you have any questions on how to use it let me know.
I believe the Nikon D700, D3, and D3s cameras are supported in Rawnalyze 2.10.4.0. If not you can convert the NEF to DNG.

D610 RAW files not recognized by LR5.3?

I just got a new camera this week - a Nikon D610. I have Adobe Lightroom 5 and have processed my RAW files from my last camera with no problem. However, when I went to import my files just now, it tells me it is not supported. I checked for updates, it said no updates are available (it is version 5.3). I checked to see if D610 is supported and it is. What can I do??

You definately should avoid Nikon software products ;-). They tend to be very buggy. Doesn't really matter which version.
My .02:
You should definitely avoid using the older versions of Nikon software which makes raw files unreadable in Lightroom (and definitely use Phil Harvey's utility to fix them after the fact).
But in general, I have found Nikon software products to be very reliable with remarkably few bugs in Windows.
Granted there's not much need for them if you have Lightroom .

Pentax Super K100D RAW files not recognised by Lightroom

Hi all
Have tried to import Pentax .PEF files (RAW format) into Adobe Lightroom and via Adobe Bridge...no luck. It works with JPEG files, but I don't WANT to shoot in JPEG format!
Have reformatted the camera memory card, have 90GB left on my HD to perform the import, and the camera, computer and software is all current and updated.
I downloaded RAW Developer, and lo and behold, IT recognises the files and works on the RAW files with no problem...so it's not the camera, or the computer.
Everything is operating on a Mac OSX 10.4.1 (we don't have Leopard in Australia yet).
Any ideas/help appreciated.
FYI - I am operating Lightroom in TRIAL mode. Haven't purchased yet - and won't be until I can sort out this problem!

There's a list of the supported cameras here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
The 100D Super is new camera. There's always a delay between a new camera launch and Adobe providing support for the RAW profile.
You'll also see that OS X Tiger doesn't support it yet either: http://www.apple.com/aperture/raw/cameras.html.

Canon S95 CR2 raw files not recognized

I just bought my wife a Canon S95 specifically because it could produce raw files. I just tried to import her first pictures using Lightroom 3.2 and CR2 files are not supported. Silly me I did not check the supported camera list. The S90 is there but not the S95. When do you think Adobe will get around to supporting this camera?

Hi Amir
>As suggested above, use ExifTools. After downloading it, you can simply run (under windows):
thanks it worked great with a Mac as well, within terminal. I added overwrite to remove the original ( I had already made a copy)
exiftool "-CanonModelID=PowerShot S90" -overwrite_original /Volumes/DRIVE2/CanonS95/folder1 (wherever your files are located)
here's a link to more exiftool info if anyone else wants to give this a try.

>In general, ACR/LR gets updated 3-4 times per year based mostly on the number of new cameras released in a time period.
thanks for the info, is the process of adding new cameras very involved, or are the delays because of difficulty getting raw data from the manufacturers?

Nikon D200 Raw files not supported?

Hi,
Recently purchased the D200 and discovered that the Raw files are not supported. Just wondering if it is Aperture or the 10.4.4 that is causing the problems. Anyone else facing the same problems?

In very simple terms...
In order to add support for various camera RAW files, Apple has to ask the camera manufactures to supply proprietary information about how to process and read the RAW files. Each and every single camera has a different "proprietary process" it must use to handle the RAW file that the camera produces.
So that means that Apple is at the mercy of the manufacturers in order to get that information. Now most manufactures would prefer that you purchase or use their own software to work on the RAW files that their camera produces... it's an extra revenue stream for them. Because of this, it's not hard to imagine that they are a bit reluctant to divulge what is proprietary information that they spent time and money on creating. It's well documented that Nikon in particular is very reluctant about releasing such information.
If Adobe has support for a particular camera that Apple does not, then that means that Adobe has already gone through the trouble of asking the manufacture for the information that is needed, reached an agreement and signed the appropriate licensing contracts, exchanged whatever compensation was agreed upon, and then went to work making the software for ACR so it can read that particular cameras RAW files. As you can imagine, it's a process that takes some time to hammer out... more than likely because it involves more lawyers than engineers!
So... be sure you let Apple know that you would like them to add support for a particular camera, but just as important, make sure that your cameras manufacturer knows that you would like them to allow Apple to support their cameras with Apple's software.

Canon 70D RAW file not recognized in PSE 11

I tried opening a RAW file from my Canon 70D in my Elements 11. It did not recognize it. I read Elements 12 can read it. Can I upgrade to 12 for free? If not how can I get my Elements 11 to open the RAW files?

Elements 12 will open the files if you update the camera raw plug-in to the latest version.
When the version number to the left of the decimal point increases then you have to pay more money. For Elements this is once per year in the fall. Upgrading from PSE11 to PSE12 would be an upgrade-price, which is cheaper than the non-upgrade price.
You can use the free DNG Converter to convert your raw files to DNGs and open then with an older versions of the camera raw plug-in.

Can't import raw files; not seen by Lightroom

I have a Canon Eos 20d, Lightroom 2.3, and Windows XP. I just shot raw files for the first time and tried to import them into Lightroom. All of my jpeg photos on the memory card could be imported, but none of the raw files appeared to be even "seen" by the program. Any suggestions?

>Is there no way to do it from the camera directly?
I don't know about this camera but many Canons allow you to change the communication mode on the USB bus. For your computer to recognize the camera without special proprietary software, you need to set it to PC connection instead of PTP. This is usually in the setup section. In this mode, also called mass storage mode by other manufacturers, any software and any computer can communicate with your camera and it will just be seen as a (very slow) card reader. If you keep it in PTP mode, the computer can only see the jpegs. Very annoying indeed. It is very possible that your camera doesn't have the mass storage mode and then you might have to use Canon's software to load the RAW images from your camera or get a $10 card reader. A card reader should always work.
