Nikon d800 nef files cant import

Having trouble importing nefs from d800 into Lightroom from USB card reader.
Cant see images or outlines from import location - mesage - no images
System win 7, 24 g ram
Lightroom 4.2
Photoshop cs6
Camera raw 7.2.0.46
Card formatted in D800
Upgraded to deal with D800 nef files - disappointed at this stage
Others are not having trouble so it appears like something I am doing or not doing that is the problem
Assistance in finding a solution appreciated
Thanks in anticipation

LR4.2 and ACR 7.2 will open D800 files, as will LR 4.1 and ACR 7.1 and even ACR 6.7.with CS5.  The files may be corrupted.
Have you used any software to copy the files from the card to the computer hard-drive, other than LR or Windows Explorer?
To test whether the files are corrupted coming off the card, try some sample D800 files from DPReview’s site, and if those work but the files from your camera don't the files from your camera are corrupted.  The main issue people have had is that they've used an old Nikon Transfer V1 which trashes the headers of the newest Nikon cameras in ways that make them unrecognizable to Adobe software.  Another issue could be some USB drivers that are a bit iffy.  A suggestion would be to use Windows Explorer to copy files from your memory card to your computer's C drive then try importing from there.
Use the yellow “Real World…” links near the end of this page for sample D800 raws:

  • Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

    Just imported a large picture library from Aperture to LR 5.7.1- Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5. The projects and files loaded - but no thumbnail view of the image

    I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
    Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
    You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
    All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

  • 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.

  • HELP!  iMac won't show my Nikon D800 NEF files.

    Nikon D800 NEF files will transfer from my Nikon D800 to my iMac, but they will show only as a "list" in the folder that I transfer them to.  They will not show as thumbnails, nor open with "image preview".  Tiff and JPEGs will transfer and show as thumbnails and open with all my processing programs.  But I need to be able to see the NEF thumbnails on my iMac. The NEF's will also not open in Adobe Lightroom.   Image files will open with Camera Raw and Photoshop CS6 even though they don't show as thumbnails.  Everything worked until I installed Snow Leopard.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS6 13.0  64 bit
    Camera Raw 7.1.0.354
    Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8

    Desperate for any help. Thanks

    The same comments I gave for the D750 apply to the D5100 because both cameras are newer than what the maximum ACR 4.x version you can update PS CS3 to.

  • Will there ever be an upgrade for Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Will there ever be an upgrade to Lightroom 3 that will work with Nikon D800 NEF files?

    Why not use Lightroom 4 instead?
    I mean, assuming you can get it running fast enough, you'll usually get better results with PV2012 - right? And in the cases where you prefer PV2010 (if there are any), it's there too...

  • Aperture 3.4.1 cannot open my Nikon d800 NEF files?

    Before updating to Aperture 3.4.1 i had no Problems to work with my Nikon d800-NEF-Files. Now, after updating, I cannot open the D800 Files. All other NEFs (D700,D7000,D3s) are working.
    I tried to reinstall RAW 3.11, but that doesnt work.
    What else can I do?
    Thanks for a good answer

  • Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import

    Has anyone experienced Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import?

    How do you know they aren’t corrupted before you import, or the old one wasn’t already corrupted and you just regenerated the preview and could then see the corruption where what you saw, before was from the preview cache and not the current image?
    Is the corruption a problem with the Previews or does LR actually choke on the file and say it is unreadable or show you a gray thumbnail or pixilation starts halfway down the photo.
    Can you prove the files were intact coming off the card and only are corrupted after importing into LR?  Can you get to the originals on the card, still?

  • Nikon D800 NEF-files in LR4

    Is there some kind of issue with these as I receive several errors during import? Also I can not open any D800 NEF-files in Photoshop Elements 9 and as I googled this, I received answers about some Camera Raw version which is not compatible with Nikon's latest one... Please help, new camera and would really not want to receive these kind of problems.

  • Camera Raw (7.0.0.308) doesn't open Nikon D800 NEF file after re-installing Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6 x64) Help!

    Well, the title sort of sums it up. Ohyeah, and updater tells me photoshop is up to date.
    I had this version of photoshop running for about a year with no problems, after doing a clean instal of my macbook an re-installing of photoshop CS6, camera raw doesn't open my D800's files anymore.
    All help is appreciated! Thanks!

    What OS are you running?  Perhaps it is too old to be updated to the latest ACR plug-in.
    If it turns out that you need to manually install the plug-in, due to the age of your OS, you can try the process described, here, which is for rolling back ACR 8.4 to ACR 8.3, but the same thing would work to replace ACR 7.0 with ACR 8.3:

  • Nikon D3300 NEF files not importing into iPhoto with Yosemite. Videos import, photos come in black

    I'm having issues importing NEF (Raw) photos since I upgraded to Yosemite. I also updated iPhoto to the most current version. The videos will import, but the photos are coming in black. I can see them in the Nikon photo viewer on the Mac with no issues.

    There are a series of posts on the forum right now detailing issues with Raw support. By no means all folks have them - I don't for instance - but many seem to.
    Try the fix in this thread
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
    which basically trashes the Raw support and reinstalls it on your Mac.

  • Will not read D800 NEF files

    Lightroom will not read Nikon D800 NEF files.  I have updated lightroom twice,  first to 4.1 and second to 4.2 and in neither case would the files import.  I have read several forum entries that say these files are compatible with Lightroom and/or to update Lightroom.  Anyone have an answer?  This is getting really aggravating!

    Nikon Transfer is obsolete and should not be used.  The Transfer option of an up-to-date ViewNX2 should be ok.  I would hesitate to use something that tries to be very consumer friendly like Windows Photo Transfer in case it is extracting JPG previews from the NEFs instead of actually transferring the NEF files, unchanged, but if you can determine they are really raw files, not just JPGs or JPGs renamed to NEF, then it’s probably ok—the NEFs will be much larger than the JPGs so that’s a way to tell.  I think you should test with a few photos, waiting long enough to make sure you do actually get previews rendered in LR’s Import area.
    Personally I just use Windows Explorer and copy the files from my card in a card-reader to my local hard-drive then do an LR Add Import from there.  I use a codec-pack that allows Windows Explorer to let me see the JPG-previews that are embedded into the raw files so I am not copying blind.

  • Lightroom 4 Unable to Open Certain Nikon D800 NEFs

    I have found support for Nikon D800 NEF files incomplete in Lightroom 4 with ACR 7.0.
    NEF files created by the camera in 16:9 mode using the shutter release set to take stills (setting g4) cannot be previewed or imported in LR 4.
    Setting g4 and the 16:9 mode are discussed in the Nikon D800/D800E User Guide on pages 324 and 68 respectively.
    Photoshop with ACR 7.1 beta seems to be able to open these files.

    Several threads on this.  Bottom line - known issue, will be fixed.

  • Nikon D800 NEFs - why Colourdifferences  in LR4 and PS ?

    Why do my Nikon D800 NEF files, opened from LR4 (here looking ok) into PS Elements 11, get completely different colours? - when they just dragged into PS 11 from a private folder don`t ?
    Dare not use LR at the moment, thinking,  the differences are too severe to just "treat back",  by heavy adjustments.
    Could anyone experienced help -  what to do, is it just a matter of clicking somewhere, adjusting something ?  Or exists general problems with Nikons colourprofiles ? 
    With thanks Eva

  • LR 4 V 4.4:  Doesn't recognize Nikon D610 NEF files.  What is the fix for this?

    I have Lightroom 4, version 4.4 and it will not recognize the Nikon D610 NEF files.  This version recognizes my Nikon D800 NEF files.  What is wrong and what is the fix?  Thanks.

    I would expect lr6 to come out any day now though. Perhaps an idea is to use dng converter in the mean time? Don't want you to have to spend money twice in a short time.
