Nikon D90 RAW files

I just got a Nikon D90 yesterday. I found that Aperture won't open RAW files from the D90. It looks like they changed the format, since RAW files from my D40x worked beautifully.
I get this "unsupported image format" when I try to view a NEF file.

Hi, You are not alone. i have a new D700 and have the same problem. Apple service have been very helpful and have informed me that every new camera needs to be manually added to the list of cameras that work with Aperture. They have confirmed support for the D90 and D700 will be in the next update; but when I have no idea. It really is a pathetic updating service - they need to release a small patch within a week of a new cameras release. Canon also have a series of new models being launched in the next couple of weeks. None of them will work!!! Come on Apple you can do better than this!!

  • Cannot Open Nikon D90 Raw files in Photoshop Elements 7

    Does anyone have advice on how to get Photoshop Elements 7 to read Nikon D90 Camera Raw (.NEF) images? When I try to open one of these Raw images, I get an error message saying that the program does not recognize that file type.

    The D90 was supported as early as ACR 5.1 so you should download the PSE-specific version of ACR 5.6 from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/ via the drop-down list at the top, and following the PSE-specific link and instructions.

  • Nikon D90 RAW files problem

    Recently uploaded and installed the Aperture 2 upgrade which claimed to add RAW capability to the D90 plus other new cameras, but something is amiss - the files appear in browser windows but you can't do a full screen view of them - I get a "loading" message with the spinning wheel then the image shows up by itself on the screen but the same size as the thumbnail image in the browser window. Can't zoom in or anything either. Anyone else having this problem? FYI checked the about Aperture window which says I'm using version 2.1.2 3G13.

    FIGURED OUT A SOLUTION!
    Sorry for shouting, but should others out there run into this problem, here's how I fixed mine:
    Credit goes to Pogster who in another thread gave the link to get the upgrade or RAW support for the D90: http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_Raw_Compatibility_Update2-3
    I had done the upgrade via Apple's Software Update which supposedly should've taken care of this, but perhaps I did it after originally downloading RAW files from my new D90. Regardless, the upgrade has solved future imports and to correct the existing files (thankfully only 30 images) I first created a new project titled "to fix", moved the relevant images into that project, the went into the aperture library and into the "to fix" file in the library (opened the aperture library package contents and "to fix" project file within it by control clicking), then copied the original NEF files onto my desktop and imported them again into a new project. Then just deleted the entire "to fix" project. Now all is good and the images are the proper size. This approach would be a nightmare for 300+ files, but it did work.
    Thanks for the help out there...

  • Nikon D90 Raw file.

    Hi.
    I have just got CS4. The trouble i am now having is that it does not recognise the raw file from a D90. It will open my old raw files from a D80 as well as all tiffs and jpegs from the D90. I have looked to see if there is an update availiable but can't find one. Can anyone help please?
    Many thanks.

  • Photoshop CS3 unable to import Nikon D90 RAW NEF Files?

    I'm working on MAC with the latest OS and CS3 Photoshop and Lightroom 1.4.1 I'm looking for a way to import the latest Nikon NEF RAW files into Adobe. Will I need to wait for Adobe RAW 5 plugin? I cannot open the latest Nikon NEF Files from the new Nikon D90 slr camera...Any suggestions? Or a date for the new Camera RAW plug
    in??
    Thanks,

    ACR 5 will NOT work with CS3, only with CS4.
    For CS3
    and your camera you need ACR 4.6, a nominally beta Release Candidate downloadable from Adobe Labs.

  • Nikon nef raw files

    hi guys first vsit to the forum but hopefully not last!
    i use nikon d90 usually with nikons own capture nx2 software which is great for just tickling photos a bit before printing but sadly lacking on the creative side, so bought elements 7 , now the images straight from camera won`t open in elements but strangely i had scanned images in and altered in nx2 which open in raw in elements? after reading up some answers i tried changing 8bi plugins ( ie moving old one and putting new one in its place but still they won`t open !!!! which is a tad annoying . it might sound stupid but i still don`t know exactly which bits are in conflict anyone tried this with this camera combination cheers

    yes i think this was my problem , i just got myself confused! when i went back and deleted everything then reinstalled it it was fine , but many thanks for bothering to help i`m sure i`ll be back on with more problems cheers john

    As John explained, one of the key mistakes people make is not properly deleting the old plugin that is in the File Formats folder.
    Please make sure/confirm that you deleted the old plug-in or moved it entirely out of the File FOrmats folder. Renaming them, or moving them to a subfolder of File Formats won't work.
    This has nothing to do with installing camera profiles.

  • 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.

  • Can I use my Nikon D90 AVI files in Premiere Pro CC on my iMac?

    Hi and thanks in advance to anyone who can lend me a hand. I am new to both Premiere Pro CC and Macs. I have used my Nikon D90 AVI files before with Premiere Elements on my PC with no problem, but the same films aren't working on my new setup with Premiere Pro CC and an iMac.
    I can see and preview the films in the Source window but when I try to drag them onto the sequence window I get a little hand with a "no" sign.
    I am using a version 7.1.0 (141) of PP CC and am on OS X 10.9
    Do I need to transcode the files? If so, to what? And what is the best way to do that?
    Many many thanks for any help!

    Just remember, you will not always get the answer you want right away. Some people will point you to tutorials, some, like me, will attempt to help and still point you to tutorials, and some will just answer the question as best they can.
    Some might insult you, and some merely insult your intelligence. Don't be offended. Do, however, search the forums as best you can in an attempt to find the answer before you post.
    I realize that people don't always have the right words to describe the problem, and therefore have trouble searching. If searching fails you, just ask. It generally works out in the long run. And as you have discovered, sometimes a combination of posts may do the trick.

  • 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.

  • ACR 4.1 Issue - Lightroom Issue with Nikon D40x Raw Files

    I am running Windows Vista and CS3 and am trying to process Nikon D40x raw files (NEFs) using ACR 4.1. The images come up properly in Bridge. However, when I try to add metadata using a metadata template, I get the error: "There was an error writing metadata to DSC_130.NEF." When I try to rotate an image in Bridge, I get the same error. If I try to do a Batch Rename, the name does not change. If I double-click on the image, it opens properly in ACR and the image can be rotated in ACR, and it then appears rotated in Bridge.
    I also tried importing the D40x images in Lightroom. The following error appeared: "Problem Importing Files. The following files were not imported. The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."

    Jeff,
    I installed camera raw.8bi (size is 10,187kb)in
    c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats
    I'm beginning to think this is a Windows Vista issue. I just installed ACR 4.1 on my XP laptop and it works fine. For both the Vista machine and the laptop, my raw files are on an external drive. If I move the raw files on the Vista machine from the external drive to the c: drive, there is no problem. I'm exploring whether there is some permissions issue in Vista that is not allowing me to write to the raw files if they are on an external drive. Ain't new operating systems just great fun!
    Thanks!

  • Opening nikon d7000 raw files in pse8

    I have downloades camera raw 6 plug in but I am still getting the wrong file type error when I try to open my nikon d7000 raw files in elements 8.
    any suggestions??

    You need to update to PSE9 as your camera model is not supported in earlier versions
    N.B. If you are not wishing to upgrade to PSE9 - you can use the freely available DNG converter 6.3 and then use Elements to open and edit the DNG files. It’s recommended you keep your original raw files as back-up as they can always be read by your camera software.
    DNG Converter 6.3for Windows.
    DNG Converter 6.3 for MAC.

  • Opening Nikon D7000 raw files in Elements 8

    I am unable to open Nikon D7000 NEF files in Elements 8. I have been unsuccessfull in downloading the version 5.7 update from the web site. After downloading several times the files are still not recognized in Elements 8.

    I am using Windows 7. I tried selecting the folder that contained the folder holding the pictures to be converted. I then single-clicked the folder holding the pictures and hit select. A message came up stating that the source folder did not contain any supported camera raw files.I have spoken with my Elements software supplier and this is his response:
    "I've done some digging and it turns out the Nikon D7000 wasn't supported in elements until the release of version 6.4 Adobe Camera Reader.So to make sure you have the latest ACR update installed. You can check which one you have by going into elements and clicking Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw. And if it's not 6.7 then Help>Updates will find it and let you install the latest version. You could also try saving your camera files as .RAW instead of .NEF, and then opening them in elements. Adobe lightroom 4 should already have these plugins available right outside the box, but if you can save the money and run updates instead that would work just fine." I have checked for Elements updates for the Camera Raw plug-in and the message appears stating no updates are available. The camer raw plug-in version is currently 6.1.0.250.

    The most common cause is pointing the dng converter to the actual files and not just to the folder that the camera raw files are in.
