Nikon D80 RAW files and Apperture

Hi,
The RAW files comig out of a Nikopn camera are of the NEF format. This is the begining of my experimentaiotn with RAW image processing and I am begining to sense that the RAW designation is more internal than external and the extention of the file varies by camer itself. So, if the files generated in the camera have NEF extention how do I use Apperture to open them? Apperture does import the file but it says NEF is an unsupported format.
Thanks for the help.

For the D80 support, you'll want to install the Digital Camera RAW Support Update 1.0.1 at:

  • Nikon D7100 Raw files and Elements 12.....

    I have just installed Photoshop Elements 12 (operating system is Windows 7). Downloaded all the available updates. Camera RAW is 8.4.0.199.
    However, I am still unable to open RAW files from my Nikon D7100. I get a message saying "Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw." However, I the online Camera Raw info says it should work. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling as suggested in the "help section".
    Anybody got any ideas!? Thanks.

    Hi,
    How are you getting the photos on to your PC?
    See if this helps.

  • Canon 60D RAW files and Apperture 3.0

    I have OS X 10.5.8 and Aperture 3.0. My new Canon 60D RAW files can not be seen either in Aperture or Finder. Is there newer version for Aperture or is it the OS X that is too old?

    Here is a list of raw formats supported by the current Aperture version:
    Raw Support for Leading Cameras: http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    The current Aperture Version is AP 3.2.2., and to use the most recent raw support, you need to be running AP 3.2.2. and MacOS 10.6.8 or later.
    If you find your camera in the list of supported cameras, you might consider to update your OS, if your hardware does support the newer systems.

  • Nikon P600 raw files and Elements 5

    How can I open NRW files in elements 5 - have tried to download Camera RAW update but will not load
    Any advice welcome

    If you mean P6000, then yes, Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 should read your files. Please read and follow the installation instructions carefully.

  • Nikon D80 RAW NEF files

    Hi
    Wonder if any of you can help.
    Are they any updates that enable the D80 raw files to work with 10.2.8. like there are for 10.4?
    Cheers
    emac   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Each time a new camera model is introduced the camera raw plugin has to be updated for its format. The D7100 requires ACR 7.4 which is not compatible with PSE 9. So you have three options:
    1. Upgrade PSE.
    2. Use the nikon software to convert your files and open the converted files into PSE for further editing.
    3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert your NEFs to DNG files that your version of ACR can understand.

  • Can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    can i open and edit nikon d810 raw files in lightroom 4.4

    No. Lightroom 4.x will never be able to open Raw files from the D810.
    D810 support has only just been added to the RC version of Camera Raw 8.6. It is never retrospectively added into older versions.
    Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 8.6 RC for CC and CC 2014 Release Candidate | digital camera raw file support - Adobe Labs
    Adobe will probably add D810 support to the next version of Lightroom.
    Either way you'll have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 to be able to open D810 Raw files in Lightroom.

  • ACR and Nikon D800e Raw files

    This discussion is actually a follow on to an earlier one where I thought the issue was resolved. I am using CS5 extended 64 bit with WIN 7 64bit and ACR version 6.7. I verified the ACR version checking for updates and was informed I am up to date. According to the ADOBE help site ACR v 6.7 is available to open Nikon D800e raw files. However when I try and open these raw files there is a message that the camera model is not supported. Any help on why the raw files cannot be opened with ACR 6.7 is appreciated.

    Thanks Noel - after several hours of experimenting,  I found the issue. I use a stand a lone software, Nikon Transfer, to download images to the computer. The software allows me to preview/select,  rename, and make simultaneous copies for backup. This software has worked without issue, however when downloading images from the Nikon D800e, it does something to the raw files making them incompatible with ADOBE's ACR and even Nikon's ViewNX 2 software. Now here is the real curosity. When Nikon Transfer is initiated from within Nikon View2 software and not as a stand a lone, it works, and ADOBE ACR 6.7 can read the raw files. Again thanks for the help.

  • Aperture 2 and Nikon D7000 RAW files. Do I need to upgrade to Aperture 3?

    I currently have a Nikon D70 with a Nikon D7000 on its way. I want to know if Aperture 2 will process Nikon D7000 RAW files. I searched Apple support and these discussions. I only could find confirmation that Aperture 3 now handles it. But I have not found anything that confirms that Aperture 2 indeed did NOT get an update to handle the D7000 RAW files.
    Can someone confirm this?
    Thanks.

    For future reference, all the cameras listed on the Aperture RAW Support web page that have the double asterisk "**" require Aperture 3.

  • Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page!

    Big Colour and detail changes between Original Nikon RAW files and the images created on the Preview page! Yes there are distinct visual changes when I preview my Nikon NEF RAW Files.Please note I do not use iPhoto at all.
    If you view it as a contact sheet straight from the original folder there are no alterations but the moment you double click and want to 'Preview' it, this new preview page introduces very noticeable distortions : lighter shading goes missing and colour goes darker e.g orange turns red and mid blue goes deep blue!  Alarmingly the little column on the left of the preview page showing the collection shows the original file colours and then after a few seconds show the new distorted image...you can see this visible change and it takes place after a few seconds once you double click! Also if you use Apple's 'Cover Flow' to preview, this function will replace your original RAW file with the new 'altered preview' image!
    I have raised this with Apple but they have yet to reply...has anyone ever experienced this? I have used my Mac book for 18months only noticed it about 5 days ago!
    I went to Apple store and we tried it in other laptops and Macs and it happened to all of them so we think this is a software issue and not down to the laptop.
    Any help is much appreciated!

  • RAW files and Nikon D7100

    I cant open RAW files from my Nikon D7100 in Photoshop Elements 9. Please inform me whether it will open in PE 11?

    Yes, your Nikon D7100 RAW files will open in PSE11
    Your RAW files can be used in PSE9 if you download and run the free Adobe DNG Converter.
    You can also use the software that came with your camera to convert your RAWs to TIF and then open them in PSE9

    Let Apple know by sending a polite note to

  • OS X Lion does not sort Nikon NEF (RAW) files...

    After my upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, I've noticed that Lion can't sort my Nikon NEF (RAW) files as it did in the past.  It treats them like JPG images, no matter how I try to ARRANGE BY.   Has anyone experienced this?  Or perhaps know of a solution to fix it, as I shoot in both JPG and RAW with my Nikon D80 camera. 
    Thank you.

    PathFinder is an alternative/complement to Finder.
    It offers several choices including directories always on top followed by the files. Also split windows.
    I use it  and Finder - both have there places on my machines.
    As a further note I found that on my MBA running Lion is is even crazier, Arrange by Kind scrambles the files in no obvious order.
    Also looking at 10.6.8 I find that Arrange by KInd from the Action Button put the files in reverse alphabetical order by file type (NEFs before JPGs) while Arrange by Type from View in the Menu bar puts them in alphabetical order by file type.
    I've had follow-up form Apple on my reporting of this....so we'll see what happens.

  • Nikon D300 Raw files for 64bit windows vista machine not appearing in Photoshop CS3 raw

    I purchased a new 64bit computer running Vista. I have installed Photoshop CS3 including the latest updates and the 4.6 (Camera Raw.8bi) raw update file. I included the raw file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats. I have purged cache in Bridge and I still cannot view the raw files in Bridge. I only see a gray square with a Blue NEF. I can open the files in Photoshop however. What can I do to see the files in Bridge?

    Nikon encrypts RAW file data
    ByMichael R. Tomkins, The Imaging Resource
    (Wednesday, April 20, 2005 - 02:16 EDT)
    A news item posted on Sunday by PhotoshopNews.com reports on comments from Thomas Knoll, one of the original authors of Adobe Photoshop, relating to the RAW file format used in Nikon's D2X and D2Hs digital SLRs.
    <IFRAME src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/banners.fpl?region=112&keyword=NULL" height="250" width="300" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" vspace="0" hspace="0" frameborder="0" align="middle" scrolling="no"> <A href="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/blink.fpl?region=112&slot=1" target="_blank"> <IMG src="http://208.43.255.194/cgi-bin/advertpro/bimg.fpl?region=112&slot=1&keyword=NULL" border="0" width="300" height="250" alt="Click Here!"> </A> </IFRAME>
    Thomas Knoll is currently the chief engineer for Adobe Camera Raw, the company's RAW file conversion software. The PhotoshopNews item references a forum thread started by Mr. Knoll in Adobe's official user forums, where he reveals that .NEF RAW files from the latest Nikon digital SLRs encrypt data relating to the white balance setting the photo was shot with.
    RAW file formats vary significantly between digital camera manufacturers (and often, between different models in a manufacturer's lineup), and the manufacturers generally won't publicly disclose the specification for the RAW file format(s) they use. Some will offer plugins or software development kits (SDKs) that enable their RAW files to be opened in third-party applications, but these generally have some limitations attached to their use.
    In addition, the companies generally offer RAW file conversion software of their own, either as part of their camera bundles or as an added-cost option. Nikon offer their pro SLRs with PictureProject software that includes limited control over the RAW file conversion process, and then offer the more feature-rich Nikon Capture conversion software for an added cost. In a recent publication on the company's Nikon Pro website, it suggested that it feels Nikon Capture is better-suited to photographers, while Adobe's Photoshop is more suited to graphic artists. Still, different photographers have different workflow preferences, and for this reason third parties such as Adobe often reverse engineer the RAW file formats, allowing them to be opened in their own software - sometimes with even better image quality than the original manufacturer's software.
    In a way, it is understandable that companies would want to encrypt RAW file data from their products - it allows them to pick and choose which competitors are able to open RAW files shot with their products, and allows them to generate new revenue streams from the sale of their own RAW file conversion software (or, if they choose, the sale of licenses allowing competitor programs to access their RAW file data). Nikon is not the first company we're aware of to encrypt data in RAW files; Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-F828 RAW files contain encrypted data. In that instance, however, Sony granted permission for Adobe to decrypt the data in their software. At the current time, Mr. Knoll states that while Adobe has signed a non-disclosure agreement that grants them access to use Nikon's SDK, they have not received any response to requests from Adobe that the company be allowed to decrypt the white balance data, which would allow closer integration with their software than is possible with the SDK.
    The fact that Nikon has chosen to encrypt a portion of the RAW file data would not be particularly problematic for third parties to overcome, were it not for certain laws enacted around the world in recent years. One such law is the United States' "Digital Millennium Copyright Act", often referred to as the DMCA, which makes it illegal to produce technology that can circumvent measures designed to protect copyright. One could argue that Nikon's encryption of the white balance data is just such a measure - which would make it an offense for a third party without permission to make software that could decrypt the original white balance setting used by the camera when the photo was shot. One could equally argue, however, that the copyright over the RAW file belongs to the photographer who captured the image - and hence the choice over what is done with that copyrighted work is entirely up to the photographer.
    Unfortunately, there's no clear-cut answer, and short of a company or programmer finding themselves in court for having cracked the encryption, there isn't likely to be such an answer any time soon. This presents a problem for third parties attempting to make their own RAW file conversion routines for the D2X and D2Hs, as if they don't want to risk opening themselves up to legal action, they aren't able to determine the original white balance setting. Hence, they must either request the white balance setting from the user as the RAW file is converted, or attempt to determine an appropriate white balance setting automatically (which would not necessarily be the same as that determined by the camera itself).
    Nikon hasn't communicated their reasons for encrypting the white balance information in their latest NEF formats, but we have to say it doesn't sound like a very good idea. While Nikon Capture does indeed offer excellent capabilities for people to manipulate images saved in NEF formats, many photographers and organizations have already established workflows based on Adobe's RAW plugin for Photoshop and other image-processing tools. The biggest consequence of this move on Nikon's part seems likely to be to push more photographers onto other camera platforms. It's hard to imagine that increased sales of Nikon Capture will make up the revenue lost from camera and lens sales going forward.

  • Please tell me what I need to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files.  Have downloaded all versions from 8.6 to 9.  Photoshop 6 has no problems reading these files

    Can anyone tell me how to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files Have downloaded 8.6, 8,7, 8.8, and 9 raw converter files and none will work.

    You haven't seen the raw image data until you look at the DNG files in Lightroom. The DNG file contains precisely the same raw data that was in the NEF file. The image that you see on your camera is the JPEG preview that is built into the NEF file. And the JPEG preview is affected by all of the in camera settings. And those settings COULD include Active D-lighting, sharpening, style settings, Expeed processing, etc. And none of those settings are going to be picked up by Lightroom.
    It's natural and expected that the raw image data won't appear to be as good as what you saw on the camera display. But you can make adjustments to get the images looking even better than what the camera displayed. And that is what shooting raw is all about. If you read in your manual it will indicate that shooting raw produces an image that must be processed. And that is what you do in Lightroom. If you find a set of adjustments that you make consistently to all of your images you can make those adjustments on a newly imported image and then save new camera defaults. Then those settings will be applied to all images that are imported from that point onward. And will be applied to any already imported images when you click on the reset button in the develop module.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.
