Nikon .NRW support?

Hello all:
This has been written about elsewhere, but I found no mention on the Lightroom Forums...
A new camera model from Nikon, the Coolpix P6000, is a very promising model to serve, I would guess, mostly a pro-sumer market of shooters who already have a dSLR and want a compact for more informal shooting. Or, those who don't want to invest in a dSLR, but still have something nearly as powerful.
So, what does Nikon do? They invent YET ANOTHER proprietary RAW format....the .NRW Nikon RAW format. Nikon Capture NX (their high-end RAW software) doesn't even support it.
DUMB MOVE.
Any whispers out there as to what pro-level RAW softwares are looking at support for .NRW in the future?.....Lightroom?....Bibble?....
Thanks for reading -

@Photo newbie, Adobe has to create new profiles to process raw files for each and every new camera model produced by your camare manafacturer of choice.
When Nikon, Canon or other camera manufacturer produces a new model there are always new improvements and tweekes to these new models, its unlikely that new models will produce files exactly like a previous model.
Adobe issues new updates approximately every three months, so there is always a delay in providing support for new camera models.

I cannot open Nikon NRW Files in Elements 11. Help please

I cannot open Nikon NRW raw files in Elements 11 Help please

If you're feeling brave* you can try the workaround procedure listed here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5956711#5956711.
You'll need to use ACR 8.3 RC1. I found it at http://www.freewarefiles.com/downloads_counter.php?programid=24402. ACR 8.3 final won't work with PSE11. Make sure you click the correct download link - 'Direct Download 1' to get the zip file 'cameraraw8-3cs6_r1_win_110713.zip'.
If your system can't open zip files I highly recommend the free 7-Zip (Google it) to do so.
The '1033' file the instructions refer to is in payloads\AdobeCameraRaw7.0All-051113155157\Assets1_1.zip.
* At your own risk! If any of this is incomprehensible stick with the DNG converter - that's the officially supported method and you'll need to install it anyway to get the profiles installed.

Open Nikon NRW Files In PSE 10

What do I need to do to open Nikon NRW (raw) files in Elements 10?

The Nikon Coolpix P7700 is newer than PSE10 can be updated to support. Specifically, the P7700 started to be supported with Adobe Camera Raw version 7.2. PSE10 only was updatable to ACR 6.7, I believe, so to read your P7700 files in PSE, you need PSE11.
An alternative is to convert the NRW files to DNG files using the current Adobe DNG Converter and open the DNGs in older camera-raw versions. You will want to be sure to set the DNG Compatibility options in the DNGC to something that ACR 6.7 can understand, which would be ACR 6.6, not the ACR 7.1 that it defaults to the first time you run it.
You can download the current DNG Converter, from the regular Adobe Updates page:

Is the Nikon D5500 supported with Adobe Lightroom 4.4?

Is the Nikon D5500 supported with Adobe Lightroom 4.4? Thank you.

No it isn't. In fact, it isn't supported by ANY version of Lightroom at this time. DNG converter 8.8 supports the model, and you can use it to create DNG copies that can be used in Lightroom 4.4. But the D5500 will never be supported in Lightroom 4.4. Support will probably come in the next update or upgrade.

When will come the new raw version update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with Nikon D750 support?

Hello Adobe,
When will come the new raw version update for Adobe Lightroom 4 with Nikon D750 support?
Best regards
Frank

There won't be an update for Lightroom 4. The only way you can work with your D750 raw files is to use the free standalone DNG converter to create DNG copies. If you want to be able to work on the NEF files then you will have to upgrade to Lightroom 5. Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. Everything is part of the Lightroom program. If you want to stay current with Lightroom then you need to follow the update/upgrade path. That means purchasing each new major version of Lightroom or subscribing to the creative cloud plan.

When will Adobe support Nikon NRW file format?

Adobe guys and ladies,
Is there any information that you can add to the dialog shown below that will help me decide if the NRW format used by the Nikon P7000 P&S will be compatible with my >> 10,000 image Lightroom collection?
thanks,
WK

I now shoot topside and underwater (using an Ikelite housing) with a D300S. My work flow is to copy the nef files to Lightroom 3 (for Mac) as dng files for tweaking either in LR3 or occasionally in Photoshop. I'm presently considering a P&S such as the P7000 but I'm concerned that the proprietary nrw format will be a "deal killer". How do I convert nrw files to either raw, nef or dng but not tif? WK
Response 09/15/2010 10:25 PM
HI Thanks for the question. As with any new model software to convert RAW images will have to be updated for newer models. The Microsoft WIC compatible NRW should easily be read and converted by your software once they update for the newer model. Of course for the best conversion we'd recommend using Nikon Capture NX2. Thanks -David
Customer 09/16/2010 08:35 AM
Hi, The issue of file incompatibility is of great concern for many potential P7000 buyers. Let me ask the question a bit differently: Can the NRW format used by the P7000 camera be read directly (or converted to NEF or DNG formats) by available Mac software such as Aperture, iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom 3 or Adobe Photoshop 5? thanks, WK
Response 09/16/2010 08:35 AM
HI Thanks for the update. I'm sorry but you'd have to ask Adobe and Apple about their plans to support the P7000 images. I'd guess based on their support for other RAW format we've produced that they would but since it is their software they would be the ones who could answer. Sorry we can't help more. -David

Of course, Nikon does its best to obfuscate their file formats...
That's a load of CR@P - please cease this continued misinformation.
Even in the earliest days when Nikon encrypted their white balance, it was decryptable via the Nikon SDK (without having to use the rendering feature as well...). Its just that Adobe wasn't using the SDK because the Nikon formats are all based on tif and as such are easy enough for Adobe to deal with without resorting to the SDK that they hadn't bothered. At that time, Thomas Knoll made some off-hand remarks that started a huge wave of misinformation that has been propagated on the internet ever since. In my opinion, he owes Nikon and the photography community an official public apology.
Nikon's purpose in controlling access to the information in NEFs was aimed at quality control, so idiots like me didn't start futzing with their camera data via plugins and fly-by-night applications and smearing Nikon's good name to people who didn't know enough not to blame things on Nikon. In the beginning, Nikon required approval before releasing their SDK to third party vendors. Now, it is available immediately to anyone willing to fill out a form on their website (and it includes complete documentation). Until you, or anybody else claiming this that or the other thing about the accessibility of information in Nikon's camera files, downloads the SDK and plays with it, to see for yourself, you don't know what you are talking about.
The fact that there was a delay between the release of the P6000 and its support in CaptureNX does not prove anything except Nikon was eager to release the camera, and followed up with changes to the SDK and/or CaptureNX after the fact.
I apologize if the tone of this post seems stern, but in my opinion, its time for the misinformation to stop, and the huge body of erroneous information on the internet to begin to be dismantled.
Note: I am not a Nikon defender. I just don't like to see people being unfair to them.

Please go on and Nikon D800E Support

With my first message here I want to encourage the developers of Apple Aperture:
Please go on making Aperture even better.
Aperture was my reason to switch to Mac. This was exactly 5 years before in April 2007 and I never ever regretted this big step. Aperture was a great tool and it remains a great tool. Being a professional photographer I passed during these 5 years about 750.000 images through Aperture and keep about 100.000 in my main database. All works without any big problem for these 5 years now. I love its perfect control layout for quick and precise work with big amounts of files. For me it is a perfect solution.
All main upgrades brought huge improvements. So please: Dear Apple Aperture developers, give us an Aperture 4.0 - we all wait for it. No need to hurry from my perspective. But I would love to be amazed by new features. My most missed tool is an automated lens corrections. For me this is the only real advantage of lightroom or DXO. For me the biggest step would be an integration of the DXO lens correction itself or the ptlens engine.
Okay and now one urgent petition:
Please add RAW support for the Nikon D800E quickly. This camera is the ultimate tool. The best camera I ever owned. Far ahead each other camera except the D800. The E is somehow exotic because of the lack of the anti-aliasing filter, but believe me: Many many professionals will buy it and many many amateur landscape photographers.
Thank you
wolframs

I'd be quite surprised is Apple doesn't soon add the D800/e to the list of compatible cameras, but, of course, I don't know. I do know that if you want to have a chance of having your request heard by Apple, you must use the channel Apple provides for feedback: "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
Enjoy your camera . And the 450-page printed manual. Yikes.

Nikon d7000 support

I wonder if Camera Raw will support the new Nikon d7000 camera sometime soon? How does one find out? I just got one and always shoot in RAW mode but now I can't open any photos unless I install Nikon's software which I will not do.

You can use the DNG converter until ACR is updated to cover the D7000.
Check in the Camera Raw forum.

Nikon D60 support?

Hi,
just got a demo Nikon D60, did some NEF shots, but Lightroom 1.3 doesn't recognize them?
So Lightroom 1.3 DOESN'T (yet) support the Nikon D60 files or am I missing something?
I can open them in CS3 Bridge.
TIA,
Mat

The update should be relatively soon, but if you are counting on it within a week to complete a review you may get a reality check. Adobe updates camera support in ACR about 4 times a year, but not on an absolute schedule as I recall. That is quite reasonable, as the industry goes.
There is always the Nikon software, which will do a decent but slow job converting to Tifs, which you can then use virtually anywhere.

Nikon D810 support for lightroom 4.4 ?

I just installed an update to Lightroom 4.4 and it seems like the Nikon D810 is still not supported. Is this correct? I'm trying to shoot tethered.
Thanks

Don't you think Adobe could just add the camera support via updates to previous versions of Lightroom?
I am NOT an Adobe defender/fan-boy, but I fully support Adobe's policy to NOT maintain legacy versions of Lightroom software - somebody has to pay for that, and it ain't the people not upgrading who do..
If you really want to read newer raws using older software you can convert them to DNG (converter is free) - tethering support not included.. You can tether with older Lr software using non-Lr tethering software and auto-import in Lr, although I recommend upgrading instead (or also..).
How much was that D810? - how much is an Lr upgrade?

Nikon D80 support in iPhoto

Hi all
Anyone got any idea how long it will be befor Apple releases an update to iPhoto which supports the new Nikon D80 RAW files.
With thanks...

I think they update the camera's supported every update. Keep checking Software Updater to see if an update is avaliable.
Remember to mark as helpful or solved.

Nikon D40 Support?

Anyone have any suggestions as to whether the Nikon D40 RAW format can be used by Aperture? I've read about the config file hacks for unsupported RAW formats and am wondering if the sensor in the D40 is similar to the D50 or D80. Any thoughts?
Any speculation as to when Aperture might natively support this camera?
Thanks!

There are several ways to do this. If you are familiar with VI you can use it to make the change to individual files. open the file in VI, hit :, type %s/D40/D70/g <enter> then save the file.
If you want to change all of the files in a directory, you can write a simple shell script to do it.
For example:
echo "%s/D40/D70/g" >> tmpscrpt
echo "write" >> tmpscrpt
echo "quit" >> tmpscrpt
for file in *.NEF; do
vim -e -s $file < tmpscrpt
done
rm -fr tmpscrpt
This will run vi in executable mode and perform the search (for D40)/replace (with D70) and then save the file using the same file name. To change the files back when D40 support is finally added, change the first line to:
echo "%s/D70/D40/g" >> tmpscrpt
If you are familiar with Automator, you can use it to create a workflow that prompts you for the files you would like converted using finder, and have them changed. Add the "Ask for Finder Items" task, then pass the results into a "Run Shell Script" task. The shell script would be slightly different to take the Finder results:
cd
echo "%s/D40/D70/g" >> tmpscrpt
echo "write" >> tmpscrpt
echo "quit" >> tmpscrpt
for f in "$@"
do
vim -e -s $f < tmpscrpt
done
rm -fr tmpscrpt
Once I do any of the above on a RAW D40 image, the image works fine with Aperture, IPhoto, Preview, etc.
As usual, PLEASE test this on files you are willing to sacrifice before trying on any master files you want to keep. If you are not familiar with the shell, scripting, Automator, or are generally uncomfortable with making ANY changes to your raw images, do not do this. Please wait for the official update from Apple.
I talked to several people at Nikon, and Apple at Macworld this week, and did not get an answer on when it might be fixed. Being impatient, I did all three of the above, and am quite happy with the Automator worklow solution.
Also, I do not profess to be a professional scripter. If anyone has a better way to do this, please jump in. I found a method that works for me, but I am always open to better options.
And last, many thanks to Brian C Toth for his post regarding the Hex change working. This was the spark I needed to get this working.

No Nikon D300 Support in Aperture?

I installed OS 10.5.2 and then tried to import some Nikon D300 Compressed Raw files into Aperture. They will not work! After import it says "unsupported format." What am I doing wrong?
Kevin

Same issue with Nikon D3. I installed the Leopard Graphics update after the 10.5.2 update but still got "Unsupported Format" If Aperture is truly targeted at a "Professional" market, then it should support professional cameras in a timely fashion. I am revisiting my workflow decision.

Nikon RAW Support

Anyone know when Apple will include support for the Nikon D300s RAW files? Seems odd that I can import from D700 and D200 but not the D300s which replaced the D200

No one knows when - or even if - Apple will add support for any camera.
Let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Seems odd that I can import from D700 and D200 but not the D300s which replaced the D200
Not so odd when you consider that the D200 and D700 have been around for a long time and the D300s only started shipping when? A couple of weeks ago?\
