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.

  • Opening Nikon D600 NEF files using PhotoShop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213

    Hello,
    I've just bought a Nikon D600.
    I have Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213. 
    With these versions, I'm unable to open the D600 NEF files.  I get the following message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Yet I can view the NEFs in other software that pre-dates the D600, e.g. FastStone Image Viewer 4.6.
    Does anybody know if I can get a plug-in from Adobe for PS CS4 that allows me to edit D600 NEFs?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Regards,
    Aisling

    Either upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG Converter and covert your NEFs to DNG.

  • How to open Nikon D7000 NEF Files in Photoshop CS3

    i have installed the 4.6 camera raw update but it does not recognise the D7000 NEF Files... same for Bridge.  what can i do to view files directly in CS3?

    Every camera model must be profiled and specifically supported, and Adobe only updates the current version of Photoshop when they add support for each new camera.  You should upgrade your tools just like you upgraded your camera.
    None of your new camera's NEF files should be viewable by CS3-vintage components, but all of your DNGs should be viewable by such, and if some aren't, then it sounds like your files may be getting corrupted on their way from the camera to the computer.  Are you using a cable to the camera or are you using a card-reader to access the images?  Using a card reader is preferable.  Some cameras have different modes their USB-connection can be in and something other than mass-storage mode can lead to problems.  I don't have a Nikon so am not sure of things more specifically, but if you can use a card-reader and just use Windows Explorer to copy the images that would probably be the best thing.  If you have a new memory card that could also be something to look at.

  • Help with Nikon D600 NEF files, CS6, and ACR 7.3 beta

    I have been unable to open NEF files from my Nikon D600 in Photoshop CS6, and ACR 7.3 beta.  Any suggestions/guidance would be much appreciated.
    RAW was set to 14 bit color, but I can't see that that would matter?

    From discussion with others, it would appear that the files were corrupted during transfer. 
    I have some suggestions that I will try tomorow.
    I have no problems opening old Nikon D700 NEF files in Photoshop CS6, and when ACR opens the file it indicates I'm using ACR 7.3 beta.

  • Raw plugin 8.2 doesn't open nikon d800 nef files in photoshop cc and bridge

    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.

  • 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.

  • Can not send my NEF files to Photoshop CS3...Please Help

    Hello
    Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong!!  I shoot with a Nikon D300. I use Photoshop CS3 along with Bridge and InDesign. I have Windows Vista. Now that the facts are out of the way........
    I have tried installing an update of Camera Raw. I did the following. Please correct me before I pull my hair out!!!
    I first removed ACR 4.0 and put it in a folder on my desktop (Camera Raw .8bi)
    I then downloaded DNG Camera Raw 4.6 zip from the Adobe site. These were my next steps:
    start/computer/double click local c/program files/common files/adobe/plugins/cs3
    I then took the DNG camera raw 4.6 and placed it in the last folder (cs3)
    I started Bridge. I can see my Raw images there. I double clicked on an image to transfer to photoshop and an error message poped up (once again) saying that photoshop does not support the file. I went to the help section of cs3/about plugins and there was not a camera raw icon I could click on.
    Did I install this in the wrong place???  What can I do to obtain these files? I need them to be converted to JPEG or a TIFF.
    Someone please have an answer! I'm praying!
    Thank you,
    Tina

    The DNG converter is a stand-alone application which is an alternative to Adobe Camera raw. Particularly useful when your camera is not  covered by the latest version of ACR.
    It does not go in any specific folder and you have to use it to convert your NEF files to DNG format in order to view them in Bridge and process them in ACR.
    You really need to read the instructions on the download pages and in the links there before ploughing on to disaster!

  • Unable to open Nikon 750 NEF files in Photoshop Elements 13

    I just got a Nikon D750 and I cannot open NEF files in Photoshop Elements 13 even when I download Camera Raw 9.0 and DNG Converter 9.0.  What can I do?

    This is a question for the Photoshop Elements forum. A moderator may find and move this tread for you.

  • How to read Nikon D600 NEF files

    I bought a Nikon D600 but am unable read the NEF files read with my version of Lightroom 3 that runs on an older Mac Book which cannot be upgraded to LR4.  If I buy a new Mac, can I upgrade to LR4 on the new machine or do I have to purchase a new version?  If I can upgrade how do I transfer LR3 to the new machine.  Also, I have a student version of Photoshop CS5 Extended.  Can I purchase an upgrade to CS6 on a new machine? 
    In doing research I saw where both Lightroom 4 and Photoshop CS6 had some problems with Apple's OS X 10.8.  Have these been resolved yet?

    The D600 is diectly supported by Lightroom 4.2/Camera Rw 7.2 and higher.  So updgrading to Lightroom 4 or Photoshop CS6 will provide full suppor for the D600. Alternatively, you can download the free DNG Converter 7.2 or higher and use it to convert your NEF files to DNG format which is already supported by Lightroom 3.x
    You can upgrade from Lr3 to Lr4 on your old and/or new machine as there is no activation code to stop you. You'll probbaly be asked for the Serial Number for Lr3 on the new machine to prove that an upgrade is legitimate. Buying Photoshop CS6 then upgrading the new machine to this is also possible, but you'll need either the DVD for CS5 or have it already installed on the new machine. Basically, CS6 needs to see that a copy of CS5 is available for installation or already on the computer.
    As to the problems with 10.8. These have been addressed.

  • Question: Programs that work with Nikon D600 .NEF files

    I recently upgraded to the Nikon D600.  With that, I’m unable to open RAW images in the programs that I currently have (PS Elements 9).  Does Photoshop Elements 11 have the correct software (Camera Raw 7 and higher)?  Or will I need to get the full version Photoshop CS6?
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    PSE11 will handle your NEF files but you will need to update immediately after installation using:
    Help >> Updates
    Also look at Lightroom 5. Unlike Elements it has all of the raw tools from CS6 in an intuitive interface designed for photographers by photographers.

  • 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.

    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Nikon D600 NEF file import problems

    Hi,
    Lr won't import NEF files from my nikon d600 even though i've upgraded my software to Lr 4.41 and camera raw 7.4, which according to what i have read on the web, should be enough. 
    Has anybody got any ideas / encountered this problem themselves before?
    Thanks in advance!

    It was my understanding as well, that the latest Lr4 would support those D600 files. I would consider trying with Lr5.2 trial as a test, or converting to DNG prior to import, as a test...
    But maybe first: Copy (using OS, not Nikon Transfer) from card to hard disk, then try adding in place. - works?

    PSE11 will read D600 raw files if you update the Camera Raw plug-in to ACR 7.3 using Help / Updates, if the trial allows that.
