Nikon D80 Compatibility

I just bought a D80. It appears that iphoto does not support downloading RAW images from the D80.. Anyone know if Apple plans to take care of that problem? Thanks for your help.. Gil

It's on the official list so I wouldn't worry about it.

Actually, there are many more cameras (including mine) that are not on the list but are still compatible. The list includes only those that Apple has checked.

Wow. I just installed the universal version of this update and now my iMac won't boot. How swell... It sits at the white screen.
I can hold down the power button and turn it off and on, but that's it. I've tried booting from CD by holding down C and zapping the PRAM and it still just sits at that white screen. I've unplugged it and am going to leave it for about 15 minutes and see if that does it.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Opening Nikon D80 NEF files in Elements 5

I cannot open NEF files from my Nikon D80 camera. Also, Nikon D80 camera isn't listed in the RAW files section for 4.1 new download. How will I be able to open files from the Nikon D80, if the 4.1 new download doesn't support this?

Camera Raw is updated about four times each year. In most cases, the update is primarily to add compatibility for new cameras. Each new camera that takes raw images must have support added for it, not just the brand but the specific model. Support for your camera was added after the release of Photoshop Elements 5. Adobe does not create new installation disks every time Camera Raw is updated. It is your responsibility to download the updated Camera Raw when it becomes available and install it correctly on your computer.
The message you are receiving is the message that is displayed when there isn't support for a specific camera. So you need to go to the download section and download ACR 4.1 and replace the version that you have installed right now. There is a link to the download at the very top of this forum. Be sure to follow the installation instructions precisely.

Adobe camera raw and the nikon D80 in photoshop CS version 8

How can I open RAW files from my nikon D80 in photoshop CS version 8 ? At the moment I have to open and edit my RAW files through Nikon View NX and then convert the files to Jpeg, dump them in a folder and then re-open them as Jpegs in photoshop, it's a very frustrating process so I'd really appreciate it if anyone can tell me how I can open them straight into photoshop, I really can't take this cross platform editing !!!! Thanks

Mac won't recognise Nikon D80

I'm trying to upload photos from a Nikon D80 I've had for several years, but haven't used lately. When I connect it using the Nikon supplied USB cable, the camera display indicates it's connected to a computer, but the Mac doesn't recognise there's a camera connected to it. This problem occurs on my MacBook Pro and also on my iMac. It also occurs whether I use Aperture or iPhoto. Aperture version is 3.4.5. I conclude there's a connection problem between camera and MacOS, but I don't know how to diagnose or correct it.

As i said I'm not a Nikon user so I might be way off base but I downloaded the manual for the D80 and under the section on connecting to a computer is where they mention the different modes when connected.
If you don;t have the manual you can get it here Product Manual in pdf format. Look for the section Connecting to a Computer under Reference. If you download the pdf manual open it in Preview it is easier to move around in it there then in Safari.
If the camera has been in limited use for that long it is possible something got reset in it. I'd give that section a look to see if it helps.
If in the past the camera showed as a device on the desktop that indicates to me the camera should be set to Mass Storage so look in the manual for how to get to that setting in the camera.
good luck

IMPORTING NEF (RAW) IMAGES INTO iPHOTO 6 FROM NIKON D80

I have just got my self a Nikon D80 and find that I cannon import the NEF(RAW) images into iphoto6 - the files are not recognised - if I shoot in jpeg format it is fine
Bit of a disappointment as I was really excited to see what the ophotos would come out like! I have not imported the software that came with the camera - but I didnt think that was necessary.
Any help gratefully received

David
What kind of computer do you have? What version of the OS? What version of iPhoto? Have you applied the RAW updates from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads?

Nikon D80 JPGs and PS3 Bridge metadata editing

PS3 Bridge will show thumbnails of Nikon D80 JPGs, but will not allow editing or additions to Metadata to be saved in Bridge. PhotoShop CS3 will allow adding, editing and saving metadata in the File Info section, but I can't edit it with Bridge.
Yeah, I need to upgrade to CS4, but can't get the bean counters to sign off on it!

Workaround. I created a metadata template in PS3 and Saved it. Then created an action that applied the template to the image in PS3 and saved the action. Then I went to Bridge and selected all the files and ran a batch on all of them that ran the action and saved the file. Now each file has the metadata common to them all in the metadata when looking at them in Bridge AND they can all have unique metadate ID added and saved in Bridge.

Macbook pro doesn't recognize Nikon D80 camera..

I have my Nikon D80 connected to my mac (10.6.4) with a regular USB cable.. the mac doesn't recongize it.. I never had this problem w/my windows machine.. this is weird.. I found sthg in another thread and did apple men -> info and indeed it shows under USB that a Nikon D80 is connected to it.. so why won't the mac recognize it?
in camera manual it says: "if MASS STORAGE is selected for USB..." is this a USB setting? I've never had to set this.. don't even know if they mean it's a computer setting or camera setting...
thank you..

thank you..
You do realize that even though you may have the camera settings as suggested in the manual, you may still have to do any/all of my suggestions above? It doesn't matter what your camera settings are - for instance, if you do NOT have the Mac configured to show externals, it will not - period. And, if you do not have that PTP software referenced in the manual, you either need to drag 'n drop them off onto your desktop (that is, once you get the icon on the desktop) or the apps mentioned previously.
Post back after you have tried any/all of the above suggestions.

Photoshop CS + Camera Raw + Nikon D80

Hello,
I'm using P'shop CS on MAC 10.4.9 and recently upgraded my camera to a Nikon D80. I discovered that P'shop CS does not support D80 RAW thru the existing RAW plug-in (2.4) --apparently, the Camera RAW plug-in is supported by P'shop CS up thru version 2.X.
And, the D80 is NOT supported by 2.X; but, I have been told the D80 IS supported by Camera RAW 3.X . However, not ready to upgrade P'shop CS quite yet.
DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A WORK AROUND TO GET THE D80 CAMERA RAW SUPPORTED BY CS?
Thanks Very Much,
John

What John says is right. Digital cameras do not shoot at higher resolution in the raw mode. If we use 6 MP as a "general" reference, the camera is taking a picture that is 2000 pixels high and 3000 pixels wide. The resolution (72 PPI or 240 PPI or whatever) is simply used as a reference to help you understand how big the image would be at any given resolution. Generally speaking, JPEG images are usually reported at 72 PPI because (generally) JPEG images are often used for viewing on a computer screen whereas raw images will be used more commonly for printing as individual images or as part of a group of images for a magazine, for instance. Again, the 72 PPI or the 240 PPI are simply references to tell you that if those six megapixels are "squeezed" so that they are that close together, that is how big the image would be. But as far as the image is concerned, it is the same image regardless of what the resolution reports.

Problem importing RAW images from my Nikon D80

Hi.
I'm having some problems importing images from my Nikon D80 when I've been taking photos in RAW format. IPhoto recognises the camera as usual, and allows me to name and describe the roll. However, it then seems to freeze and won't import the photos.
IF I stop the import, then open the camera as a disk, I can physically grab the .NEF files from their folder and drop them into iPhoto where the import will carry on as expected.
Any ideas?

See my reply to your other post.

Downloading digital photos from Nikon D80 to iPod

I've been having trouble downloading photos from my new Nikon D80 into my iPod. Although Apple's list of supported cameras does not include the D80 a number of forums I have used report successful downloads from this camera. When I press the Import option after connecting the camera to the iPod via the Apple Camera Connector I receive the message "Import Done" however the iPod screen still says that no photos have been imported and Size 0kb.
Can anyone help? Any advice would be most appreciated.

so it's not realy useable
it worth a thousand memory card for travellers; too much usefull!
i will be travelling. i can easily carry on an iPod and my D80. Bringing a laptop on hard outside trekking is obviously out of question. so I bought 2X1Go SD card and the iPod photo connector. at the end of the day, I only need to plug the iPod and the Nikon togheter and go making lunch. I don't care to wait several minutes; the next morning, I will have my photo on the iPod and my SD card ready for the next day shooting.
but it takes forever
it's the smallest 20Go or 60Go harddisk you can handle while travelling. at this point, I will not expect this technology to be faster than what it is. but if you want the transfert to go faster, it will only depends of the size of the pictures you are taking. RAW photo will be way too long for this kind of connection but Fine-JPG is quite acceptable.
if your need is a fast transfert, used a more compressed jpg format. there is a tradeoff that should suit your needs.
besides, is there any other solution than buying several SD cards if you cannot aford to bring a laptop on your trekking?

IPhoto no longer impots RAW photos from my Nikon D80

Recently I had to archive and re-install OSX 10.4 because of a DVD read problem. Following a successful reload which included the combo updater to 10.4.8 and all software updates my iPhoto 6.0.5 version has stopped importing RAW photos from my Nikon D80 camera. Prior to the Archive and re-install, sometime in December I downloaded the software update -"DigitalCameraRAWUniv200601" this enabled iPhoto to work with my camera. I assume this update has somehow become separated from iPhoto, when I tried to reload the update it tells me it is already installed on my computer. Can anyone tell me how to uninstall it and then reload the update in order to re-establish conformity with my D80 camera.

louvic
re-installing the app will not affect your library or your photos. These are stored at Home/Pictures/iPhoto Library Folder. Of course, you should always have a back up anyway.
To re-install the app, trash the iPhoto in your Applications folder. Then go to HD/Library/Receipts and trash any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
Then you can re-install. When you click on the installer on your iLIfe DVD there is an option to Custom Install. (look at the lower left of the Window). There you can select what to install and what to leave out.
I'm interested to see if this works. AFAIK the interaction with RAW is governed by the OS, not iPhoto - for instance Aperture would use the same technologies - hence my suggestion to re-apply the 10.4.8 update in my first post.
Good Luck.

Wanting tips of full moon photo. using Nikon D80

I have a new Nikon D80 and not real famillar with the best settings for taking a photo of the full moon & stars, (with the trees in the foreground). Like a sillouette.
Then as the moon comes up over the trees, probably around 7.30pm, I would like to take a photo of the milky way with the full moon in full view.
I know I could read the book, but I've been too busy lately. So anyone with some simple settings for my camera, Nikon D80, would be great.
I also have photoshop elements 6.0 on windows xp.
Thankyou, from Debbie.

Debbie,
You're going to need multiple images to get a well exposed picture of the Moon and the Milky Way in a frame.
The Moon is the second brightest object in the sky, after the Sun. It's like shooting a well-lit white wall on a bright sunny day. Otherwise, you'll get an image of a boring white disk. There is some color on the surface of the Moon, which you will want to preserve, and plenty of detail.
This image of the Moon was shot at 1/200s. It's an uncropped image, but at low resolution for the web, hence the artifacts:
http://files.myopera.com/cperaloca/albums/92592/IMGP0340.jpg
The effective opening was appx. f/18. I used a 1,100mm f/11 catadioptric lens with a 1.7X teleconverter.
At that speed, you won't even get a hint of the Milky Way. To get a good image of the Milky Way, you'll need longer exposures, for which an equatorial lens is necessary. The Milky Way is not even visible from many urban areas because of light pollution.
The reason for multiple exposures for celestial bodies like the Milky Way as opposed to one extremely long exposure is that digital sensors overheat during very long exposures, thereby generating overwhelming digital chroma noise and sensor-blooming artifacts.
The next image consists of multiple, equatorial-mount, multiple-exposure composite shots of Andromeda with a 300mm lens:

Can I use tethering in Lightroom by Nikon D80?

I connected Nikon D80 to the computer and failed using Lightroom tethering because the Lightroom did not find the camera at all.

That camera is not on the list of supported cameras for tethering. I'm afraid you're out of luck. There may be a Nikon program you could use, but I'm not sure.
