Nikon D600 previews are blurred

I am using Lightroom 4.3 and find that the previews are blurred. However, the images look sharp after I import them. Is anyone else having this problem? The previews are sharp when using my previous camera, a Fuji S5.

Hello!
Howard is right, but there is one caveat: the DNG converter also needs to be updated for the new camera.
This issue solely exists because camera manufacturers insist in using a proprietary format that needs to be decoded.
Would they be using the free and open DNG format in camera, like Leica, Pentax, Hasselblad, Ricoh, your images could be opened on the day your puchased your camera in hundreds of programs, even in old versions such as Photoshop CS1. I've seen a preview of the D600, where it was stated that even Nikon's converters were not updated for the new camera at time of writing!
You will need to save the NEF files, create JPEGs alongside, and wait until Adobe Camera Raw gets updated (if you are using CS6) or the DNG converter (if using CS5 or earlier) to process the NEF files.

[Consolidation-Locked] Nikon D600 preview not recognized

I have latest version of LR4. Photos downloaded from card reader and two different cards show grayed image with note "preview unavailable". I see this question has come up with Nikon D800. Do I need to wait for adobe to update for Nikon d600 before I can use my cool new camera?

Nikon D600 Raw File compatibility

When will LR4 be compatible with the new Nikon D600 raw files? I have LR4 now with CR 7.1 and it cannot read D600 raw files.

Jao vdL I do not need to re-read Brett's post. Michael Garnett asked how to convert his D600 NEF files to TIFF images, and I helped him with that.
However, Lightroom 4.2 is still not the complete answer to native D600 NEF files, please read:-
http://www.thephoblographer.com/2012/10/03/lightroom-4-2-is-out-now-with-preliminary-suppo rt-for-the-nikon-d600/
Lightroom 4.2 has only preliminary support at the moment and the statement marked with an asterisk i.e :-
* Please note that the support for Nikon D600 is preliminary and there is a minor risk that the appearance of your images may change when the final support for Nikon D600 is available in an upcoming release.
Nikon D600 owners are still waiting for the final release from Adobe for full and complete D600 NEF file support.

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

HT201070 I currently use OS 10.6.8 and Aperture 3, and just got a Nikon D600. It seems the the RAW Compatibility updates (4.01) are for use only with OS 10.7.5 or later, is that right? Do I need to update my whole OS to use this camera? Thank you!

Thanks to Bobthefisherman & Turbostar. Turns out I've got a corrupted disk (which I found out via "verify disk" on Disk Utility First Aid. Previously, I never thought to verify disk -- only to repair permissions -- so I never knew my HD had been corrupted.
Wasn't able to do a clean install of OSX10.6 because my SuperDrive only sporadically will load discs, so I am taking it to the Apple Store to see if they can do a clean install, and depending upon costs, get the Superdrive replaced.
The HD wasn't partioned by the way. And I did have just over 40GB of contiguous space.
Thanks again.

Live Composition Preview Window...Vector graphics are blurred

Live Composition Preview Window...Vector graphics are blurred even though I have the 'Continuously Rasterize' button selected. I’m using the latest After Effects and Illustrator. Other compositions within the same ae project are all 100%, then when I started another new composition, the graphics are blurred, making it incredibly difficult to work out what I’m animating as I need to zoom in and it blurs a lot. It is not a RAM issue with the MAC. Can anyone help? I was going great creating motion graphics, then all of a sudden his happens and I’ve tried everything. Thanks.

Again, you're misunderstanding what the comp window is doing. It is showing EXACT pixel representation of what is going to be output to the rendered video. Therefore it would be quite wrong of it to show anything at a higher resolution than the final output. As a video pro, I need to know what is going to be output. If I zoom in and it's showing a crisp vector graphic, that's not useful in the least.
If, for some reason, you need to work with something zoomed in, make a composition with a higher resolution and work in that. Then embed it in your final comp.

LIGHTROOM 4.2 not working with nikon d600

Installed Lightroom 4.2 to read NEF files from a Nikon D600 and it says preview unavailable and it does not recognize the files..on a PC with windows 7..any ideas

If you are using Nikon Transfer to copy your files from your camera to you computer, make sure you are using the latest version. Please see: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4759832

View NEF thumbnails taken with Nikon D600 on my iMac without buying Aperture?

How on Earth can I view NEF/RAW thumbnails taken with Nikon D600 without buying Aperture. My others cameras work fine, I can vuew both my JPEG and NEF now no such luck.

Understand the issue now and came across this thread which I accept may not solve your problem:Apple Raw update brings support for 11 cameras, including D600 and RX100: Digital Photography Review
Although I could open images (D300) in Finder/Preview my issue was I could'nt seem to be able to scroll through the folder so got into the habit of using View NX2. Although that has an email option it does'nt seem to want to email Nefs' due I imagine to file size though I think there are email 'handlers' that will accomodate such file sizes.
According to this thread, Raw support for the D600 is available via the Apps Store but no app info was mentioned: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4355881?start=0&tstart=0
All else failing, I defer to Shootist's comments which seem to concur with those in the last thread mentioned.
Also came across this thread:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57539833-37/apple-adds-raw-support-for-nikon-d 600-other-photokina-models/

Why is my preview area showing only greyed out boxes instead of photos?

I am unable to import my photos so they can be seen. Whether I try to import them from the hard drive, camera card, or my desktop (following the tutorial), I do not see photographs in the preview area, only greyed out boxes instead of photos. If I imported 6 photos, I have six greyed out (photo-sized) boxes. The specific photos are there somehow, becuase they are properly named when I scroll the mouse over them, but I see only flat grey, no pictures. As I said, this happens even when I follow the tutorial and import from my desktop.

George,
I appreciate you responding to my inquiry. We (that would be the "royal" we, which would be my husband) finally determined that the monitor was not configured properly. "We" discovered this out after uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom several times.
To answer your question, I was trying to import both photos taken in JPEG, as well as RAW, both were problematic. I could import no images. It was interesting that I could tell all of the data was coming over (when I floated the cursor over a grayed-out box I could read the data), just not the images.
I have a Nikon D5100. I purchased Lightroom 5.0 just before now(two days ago), and was trying to install and play with it. I upgraded to 5.2 as I was going into it for the first time (it is an automatic question). I knew there was obviously a problem when I couldn't see any images. Particularly when I went into the tutorials -- it just reemphasized that something was wrong. Who ever thinks of how their monitor is configured?????
Thank you for following up. I was very frustrated for many, many hours.

HT201071 RAW format Problem with NIKON D600 after updating to maverick.

We still have problems after this update.
Pictures in RAW format imported to Aperture are brilliant as they are with the NIKON D600. Imported Pictures with the NIKON D800 are aweful. They are kind of grey without any saturation. To convert every single Picture to JPEG brings back their brilliance and colors. We have consulted the apple and the aperture support, but they dind't have any solution to fix our issue.
Any ideas?

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

Can't read NEF files in PS CS4 w/ Nikon D600

Have new Nikon D600 and CS 4; read Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 is the one to download. Did that but still can't read my NEF files. Is there another version i should be using? Thanks!

Specific versions of ACR only work with certain versions of Photoshop.
The ACR 7.2 will only work with CS6.
You should remove ACR 7.2 for your CS4 because it will never work. Also having more than one version of ACR can screw things up.
Do you still the ACR of CS4? I believe that 5.7 is the newest that works with CS4.
You can download this from Adobe but read carefully all the instructions.
Older verions of ACR are never updated to deal with newer cameras.
To be able to open your Nikon D600 NEFs you have to use a slight workaround.
Download Adobe DNG Converter 7.3 (note DNG not ACR)
With this installed you can convert your new NEFs for your D600 into the Digital Negative Format (DNG) which then can be opened in older versions of ACR like yours.
Its a 2 step process, but it is the only way when dealing with newer cameras and older version of Photoshop.
Note that in the DNG converter you convert the folder that contains the NEFs rather than attempting to convert a single NEF.

Problem with NIKON D600 RAW files

I have had a new NIKON D600 for 6 months. The RAW files have worked well all this time. However, I recently took the camera in for repair. Upon its return the Adobe Essentials 11 catalague and editor no longer recognizes the RAW files created by the camera. However, those files are still recognized by the Nikon software ViewNX2. Since I use the Adobe program all the time for manipulating the files I need RAW access.
I called Nikon and they told me it must be an Adobe software problem. But the Adobe software recognized the files up the time of the camera repair.
What can I do about this?

Hi,
How do you get the images from the card to the PSE catalog?
There are known problems when using older version of the Nikon software to download the images. Have you tried updating the Nikon software?
The D600 needs ACR 7.3. You haven't recently re-installed PSE 11 and not done the updates have you?
What version of camera raw is installed (Editor -> Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw)?
Can you still open the older D600 images that you took before the camera was repaired?
What operating system are you using?

Import Previews are very poor/pixelated ... D90 RAW

When I am importing my NEF files from my D90 with a card reader, my import previews are of a very poor image quality. Once the images are imported, previews look great.
Is there any way to improve the quality of import previews from the SD card?

Well Kevin, did you take look to the Aperture tutorials like this http://www.apple.com/de/aperture/tutorials/#organizeimport-importbasics ?
I am using a Nikon D100 and since few Weeks a D300 too and I do not have such trouble with the previews as you describe. Well, I do ever take a look to each image at full screen size and zoom it in to 100 % of size before I delete a photo. Thats can not be done in the simple preview window at import.
Yes, Adobe Lightroom has partly some advantages over Aperture, but what I ever saw and tried out with Lightroom - for me - only the printing capabilities are the one, of which Aperture has to pass.
I do have now over 15 thousend of photos in my Aperture library and do not want to switch over to Lightroom because of better printing features. If you like to switch over, do it - there is no reason to stay on with Aperture. Except you are using many of Apple Apps.
I use iMovie 09 and Final Cut Express for creating slide shows of my photos, more seldom I use iPhoto for this. I do a lot of lay out work with Pages, use iWeb for some of my sites and so on. Within all of them I use without any pain the photobrowser with photos from my Aperture library. That can not be done with Lightroom, for example.

Raw Files from Nikon D600

What can't I open my raw files using Photoshop Elements 10?

To open a raw files from Nikon D600, you need Adobe Camera Raw version 7.2 or above version. See the link below. It states the cameras supported in different version of Adobe Camera raw:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
But in PSE10, I am afraid, this version is not available:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=40&platform=Windows
You can check the ACR version installed from Elements Editor.
If you are on Windows, go to Help> About Plugins > Adobe Camera Raw.
if you are on Mac, go to Photoshop Elements Editor> About Plugins > Adobe Camera raw.
What you can do now?
Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original files as backup).
Windows download : http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5519
Mac download: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5518
You can convert a whole folder of images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

My Fair Adobe,
Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!
ViewNX lets me get to the images, but come on!!! I know Lightroom, and you, ViewNX, are no Lightroom.
Yes, I see everyone else ASKING for D600 support. I'm here to beg for it! Don't make me wait much longer!

Rob, my reading of your site is that this plug-in copies settings from raw to jpeg, does it work the other way around as well?
Rob Cole wrote:
One of the great things about the new 0-based defaults and linear tone curve is:
You can develop the jpegs now, in Lightroom, and then sync the settings to the raws later (e.g. using RawPlusJpeg), and provided you select a matching camera profile, they will look almost the same (white balance won't translate over, but everything else will, more or less). Beware lens corrections applied to the raws might alter the registration of precision local adjustments.
Note: I recommend shooting with ADL off in order for this to work better, and consider turning sharpening off in camera as well, and noise reduction and everything else to whatever extent is possible.
