Nikon D600 NEF/RAW files/DNG 8.4 still cannot read

Hi all, I just tried installing several versions of the DNG plug in for CS6 and it still cannot read the Nikon D600 NEF/RAW files on a 2014 MacBook Pro. Any suggestions? I have searched previous questions, but cannot find one on this very topic. Cheers, Paul.

What version of Photoshop do you have installed. If you have CS6 make sure you use CS6 menu Help>Updates. To make sure you have the latest updates. If you have CS6 preternatural you should see version 13.0.6 when you use menu Help>About Photoshop if you hace a Creative cloud subscription you should see version 13.1.2 using menu Help>About Photoshop.
If ACR 8.6 is installed correctly it installs in a common place that is used by both Bridge CS6 and Photoshop CS6.
When you open a RAW file in Phoroshop or in ACR from the Bridge the ACR dialog should open and in its title bar you should see version 8.6. You should not need to create DNG RAW file for your NEF RAW files just to used ACR. You only need to do that if your using an older Photoshop version and an older ACR. version that does not support your Nikon Camera NEF RAW format.
If you have CS6 and the ACR title bar does not show 8.6 you do not have all the CS6 updates installed. If menu Help>Updates doe not install ACR 8.6 try downloading it manually from the CC updates site and see if the manual update works All the Adobe CC Updates: The Direct Download Links for Mac OS | ProDesignTools

RC 8.6 Issues with Nikon D810 NEF RAW files

RC 8.6 does not correctly process Nikon D810 NEF RAW files. See the following blog article for some details:
Nikon D810 vs D800E ISO Comparison

This is very helpful. My current workflow, until ACR 8.6 and LR fully support the Nikon D810, are to use the DNG converter and import the resulting D810 DNG files into my LR catalog.
I have not yet tried this (traveling right now), but I assume I can still make a custom profile using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport and it's associated software for my D810 using the RC 8.6 DNG files. This is my normal workflow for all of my other cameras in LR, but the process is direct from native RAW and not DNG (to produce the custom profile).

Until Lightroom gets D810 support, you will need to use the ACR plugin in order to see the profiles. The DNG Converter always uses Adobe Standard, and embeds it into the DNG. Lightroom 5.5 doesn't have the D810 profiles.

Why won't Lightroom 4.4 import my Nikon D7000 NEF RAW files?

Not wrong?
Let us have a look at the error message:
"The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."

Why CS6 cann't open Nikon D800E NEF raw file?

Why CS6 cann't open Nikon D800E NEF raw file?

The Nikon D800 was supported from ACR version 6.7 / 7.1. But CS6 shipped with 7.0, so if you've never updated ACR (or reinstalled from disc), they won't open.
Other than that - have you used an older version of Nikon Transfer or View NX? These will corrupt the NEF header so that ACR can't read them.
There's a fix here: http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html

Can I open Nikon D600 Camera RAW files in Photoshop CS5 Extended?

We've got CS5.5 and a new D600. The NEF (RAW) files will not display. I've downloaded the DNG converter (7.2) as a workaround but it's not great. Spoke with Apple and they say I'll have to upgrade to CS6, which in turn will mean upgrading the OS on this Mac which will in turn require a new computer. All this to get a version of the ACR Plugin that works. OUTRAGEOUS!!

Sorry, but the D600 is not supported by Photoshop CS5.1, support for it was only added in CS6 with ACR 7.2. What kind of computer do you have?
If you (understandibly) don't want to get a new computer, it might make sense to use Lightroom to do your RAW editing, and then open them in Photoshop if you so need.

I can't open Nikon D800.nef (raw) files in my Photoshop CS6 (64 bit), however, I can open .jpg files

I just purchased and installed Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) to use with my Nikon D800. However, I can't open the .nef (raw) files but the .jpg files from the same camera will open. What do I need to do to open .nef files from the D800?

Hello! By default, Photoshop CS6 cannot open the NEF from a D800, you need to have at least Camera Raw 7.1, as explained in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Go to the Help menu, and select "updates" and you'll launch the Adobe Updater that should suggest to install Camera Raw 7.2 that supports the D800, and many other cameras.

Nikon D600 & Camera Raw Files

I have PSE11 and the latest Camera Raw files (v. 7.30) and still I can't open RAW/NEF files. The DNG Converter doesn't convert either.
What have I missed?
Any help greatfully received!
Cheers

Perhaps you are using Nikon Transfer v 1.x, which corrupts raw files of the newest Nikon cameras as far as Adobe software is concerned. You need to either not use Nikon Transfer at all or use V2.x that is part of ViewNX2.
A way to test whether it is your Adobe software or your camera’s files that are the problem, is to download a test D600 NEF from the internet and if it works, then it’s your camera’s images or the transfer to your computer, not Adobe software.
For example: http://movies.dpreview.com.s3.amazonaws.com/nikon_d600/DSC_4509_03.NEF.zip
From this page: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikon-d600/21
You can fix NT1 corrupted files with the following utility:

How do I set up Premiere Elements 12 to open Nikon D810 NEF, RAW files?

I'm running a Windows 8.1 computer with Premiere Elements 12. New Nikon D810 RAW files will not open in program. Is there a plug-in or other fix for this?

gsorozan
You cannot import Nikon D810 nef files into Premiere Elements 12. For that you need to have Camera Raw at least 8.6 which is supported by Premiere Elements 13. So, if you want to import Nikon D810 nef files into Premiere Elements, you need Premiere Elements 13.
However, if you convert your Nikon D810 nef files into dng files with the DNG 8.6 converter, you can import those dng files into your Premiere Elements 12.

Lightroom 5.3 should be able to open D600 RAW photos.
The problem is most likely that you used some version of Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer. This interferes with Lightroom's ability to read the files. If the files are still on your camera card, use Lightroom to directly access them from the camera card. If they are not on your camera card, you can still fix the files, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6181267#6181267

My Nikon D810 NEF/RAW File Size

I'm wondering if the 72mg file size is normal or is it something I have set up iinadvertantly. My D800 has a 36mg file size. Thanks. BTW, I also cannot read these files in Lightroom 5.5 for Mac. I hope a fix is coming soon!

There is support in the release candidate for Camera Raw 8.6 as well. So that should be an indication that native support for your NEF files will be available in the next Lightroom update. I would guess that update should be available soon, probably within the next few weeks. But you will just have to wait for the update. If you keep in touch with this forum you will know when the update is available as soon as anyone else does.
I understand your need to have Lightroom support your NEF files. But, in the meantime, (I'm going to mention it again) that DNG converter release candidate will enable you to work on DNG copies of your files so that you can evaluate how things are going. You'll still have the original NEF files that you can go to as soon as Lightroom supports them. I know it isn't the solution that you want or need, but it will at least give you access to your raw data now.

PS CS6 Extended student edition recognizing Nikon D610 NEF (raw) files

I am considering purchasing the PS CS6 Extended Student edition (this is the licensed program, NOT the subscription CC version).
Can anyone verify that this will recognize Nikon D610 NEF files?
Thanks

The student edition of Photoshop CS6 extended is precisely the same program as the "regular" version. The only difference is in the licensing. But Photoshop CS6 ships with Camera Raw 8.0, and you need at least version 8.3 to have support for that camera. In the Photoshop help menu, choose updates, and you should be updated to Camera Raw 8.6, and that should give you support for your camera.

Nikon D2X NEF Raw file not recognized anymore...??

Strange happenings...
My projects which contain new and older .NEF friles from the nikon D2X are no longer readable by Aperture - What gives?
I had been able to work them before, but not now... Haven;t used AA in a few weeks so not sure if the 10.4.5 update or some other component has gotten in the way or what... All software is up to date so if anyone has any clues, please feel free to let me know!
Cheers,

Even Stranger...
The problem appears to be gone...!
I loaded some new NEF test files to determine if the naming or IPTC info was potentially the problem - and it worked fine.
Then, I went to the libraries that were problematic yesterday, and I watched as unreadable grey squares, one by one, became visible and active again... Bizarre.
The machine wasn't even restarted ( it did have an overnite nap though...), the only thing that happened was that Aperture was shut down yesterday, and then reopened today, which I'm reasonably certain that I did yesterday as well.
I was going to run a permissions repair, but didn't need to, so that wasn;t it... I guess the program still has some instability that opening / closing seems to eventually address.
Solved? Not really, but working for now I guess...
Thanks for the input
