Nikon RAW image thumbnails can't be see.

When trying to open a file in PS6 (13.0.1 32 & 64) I can't see NEF thumbnails (Nikon D800). Files will open but I need to see thumbnails to be able to selct the image easily. ACR v 7.3.0.71 is installed and I have checked that this is the latest version. I am able to see NEF thumbnail images in Lightroom 4.
Help / advice please as I am new to PS6. Thanks
Simon

PS is using an operating-system-level function while you’re in File / Open. You either need to be using an Adobe product such as Bridge that does use ACR to render thumbnails, or you need to update your operating-system with a codec that understands Nikon RAW formats.
You can try the Microsoft Codec Pack:

Or you can pay for the Fast Image Viewer Codec Pack that understands how to get at the thumbnails of many different image formats, including Adobe PSDs:

Why are RAW image thumbnails not being rendered?

OK. I am not sure that I used the right terminology, but I have noticed that Bridge is no longer rendering (? proper term) the Canon Raw image thumbnails properly in Bridge CS6.
I shoot RAW and Small JPEGs. I copy the folder of images onto my external hard from my camera and open Bridge. I see thumbnails of both the RAW and JPEGs with a black border around each image. As Bridge reads each image, the black border disappears from each JPEG thumbnail, but not from the RAW thumbnail like it used to do.
When I click the raw thumbnail once, I get the larger RAW preview image. When I click the larger image and get the loop, the RAW thumbnail then renders and either the black border disappears from the thumbnail or the corrections made in bridge become visible in the thumbnail.
When the loop is on the larger preview image, the image in the loop enlarges automatically to 200% and I have to take the time to scale it back to read the image selection at 100%.
When I do a batch edit of many RAW images in Bridge, I can click done and the small slider in a circle icon appears above the RAW thumbnail, but the thumbnail is not rendered to reflect the correctiuons made to the image.
This was never an issue before. Bridge was great in reading RAW images at all stages and now it's not.

Have you selected Prefer Embedded previews from the toolbar, or is it set to High Quality on Demand, or Always High Quality?
Have you tried selecting the containing folder, right-clicking and clicking "purge cache for selection"?
It sounds like you are having problems with the cache. Depending on the number of images you have and the speed of your computer, it might be worth purging the entire cache, but this should be a last resort.

PS6 raw image thumbnails gone in finder

Recently upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and as a result raw images thumbnails no longer show up in finder windows. I use the finder for sorting hundreds of images - now it requires me to open Photoshop to see an image. Apple has always supported new version of Adobe raw - at lease for a while.
I know I could update the OS and probably solve this issue, but...
1. I don't like being coerced into doing that and
2. I like SnowLoepard better than the new OS.
Is there not some solution that respects my preferences as a user for at least a couple of years?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Turlie,
1.) Make sure you have a backup
2.) Hold down command + option on your keyboard and launch iPhoto
3.) Check off the top 2 rebuild options only (they both mention thumbnails)
If that does not take care of it:
1.) Hold down command + option on your keyboard and launch iPhoto
2.) Check off the "repair permissions option"
3.) Allow this to complete, close iPhoto and do the rebuild again and this time with "Rebuild iPhoto library database..." only
If that does not take care of it:
Highlight everything in your library, right click on an image, and choose "Rescan"
If that does not take care of it, you can either restore from a backup you have BEFORE the issue started happening or go to your iPhoto Library (Usually located in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library), right click on the library and choose show package contents, remove anything that says "faces".
WARNING: Removing these files will remove all your faces you've identified thus far. You'll have to re-do them. BUT, it should also resolve your issue.
Hope that helps.

How will Aperture treat Nikon raw images which have been enhanced using Capture NX2 software? Some are cropped and "developed" and some have been enhanced using the control point technology. I have NIK sw as a plug-in in aperture.

Actually, there is a Nik/Nikon connection — but I am pretty sure it is irrelevant to the OP's question. The connection is that Capture NX2 was written as a joint venture between Nikon and Nik. (The name similarity is a coincidence.)
Capture NX2 is a cool program that incorporates the features of Nik's Viveza and Nikon's Raw processing engine, along with some other powerful image adjustment features. It provides, like Aperture, a losses workflow. Unlike Aperture, the adjustments (Edit Steps in C-NX terminology) are saved in the original NEF file along with the un-altered raw data. Multiple versions can be saved in a single NEF.

New install of CS3 won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images

New install of CS3 on my new PC laptop won't open NEF (Nikon RAW) images. Same PC product opens them on my older desktop, and CS5 for MAC opens them on my iMAC.
What am I missing? CS3 has been registered and activated. Thank you

Hi, Again, John,
I followed the instructions to the letter, and nothing worked. I still got the wrong kind of file message. After I tried to use the plug-in, I could no longre open pages in IE or Firefox. I have to wipe my new computer and reinstall everything. This time, I made CS3 the first thing I installed, and followed the instruction again as follows:
"Windows
®
1. Exit Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
2. Open My Computer.
3. Double-click Local Disk (C:).
4. Navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats.
5. Move the existing Camera Raw.8bi plug-in to anot
her location (for example, a new folder on your
desktop). Ensure you keep this version in case you need to revert back.
6. Copy the Camera Raw plug-in, Camera Raw.8bi, fr
om the download into the same folder as Step 4.
7. Launch Photoshop CS3 or Adobe Bridge."
Still unable to open RAW images in PS. I did notice that the two files I copied to the desktop folder were the same, although one was slightly larger than the other. I chose to keep both.
Why is CS3 working on my desktop from the same disk with no plu-in, but not on my new laptop? Is it Windows 8.1 instead of XP? That doesn't make much sense. PLEASE help. This is insane.

Nikon Raw Images

Good morning...I never had a problem with iPhoto reading Nikon RAW images until now. I just upgraded to the D300s from the D70 and iPhoto cannot import these files. They are still NEF. Not sure what's wrong. Thanks.

The Raw from the D300s is not currently supported.
They are still NEF.
Unfortunately that doesn't matter. The NEFs from a 300s are different from the NEF or a 300 or 70 or 40. Support for each model of camera has to be added individually. Let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback

Question on Nikon Raw Image

I am trying the trial of CC and it won't take my Nikon raw image.How do I convert it?

Nikon D3300

Development of imported nikon raw images - too strong?

Hi everybody,
I have what is probably a basic question for Aperture 3, but couldnt help me otherwise.
I am shooting with two Nikon-cameras in RAW-format.
I kept noticing, that when I import my images into aperture, when I select the image for the very first time to view it, the machine keeps "loading" it for approx 1-2 seconds, and then the colours are quite different and also some lines.
So what seems to happen is some kind of interpretation of the RAW-image, probably i am seeing a JPG-preview image from the cam before that?
However, it seems to me that the colours get a little bit too intense, eg faces tend to get a little red quickly
Also, I just noticed that a pillar of a building, which has been quite straigt in preview, seemed to be a little more curvy after this process, so its probably some lense correction or aspheric correction working.
I do want to keep on shooting in RAW, but I have no clue, if there is any way to influence what Aperture does (automatically) with all those pictures, can you help me out?
thanks!

Check the "Raw Fine Tuning" settings in the adjustment brick.
If "Raw Fine Tuning" is not showing, add it to your default adjustments after selecting one of your raws. Then click the cogwheel and add the adjustment to your default set.
I'd try to adjust the "Boost" and "Hue Boost" sliders.
Once you are happy with the result, click the cogwheel and save the new setting as a camera default preset.
Perhaps the preset that Aperture is using for your camera is using is faulty.

My ACR will not recognize Nikon RAW images

I had a friend take our family photos today and she used her Nikon d600 (rather than my Canon 5D MkII--she didn't want to use a camera than she didn't know how to use, understandably!). She gave me her SD card so that I could transfer the images to my computer and then do my own editing, etc. However, her Nikon (NEF) files are not being recognized by my ACR. What do I need to do? Is there a download? An update? A plugin? I'm totally unfamiliar with this problem. PLEASE HELP!! (I have ACR version 5.7.0.213 and CS4.)

You need at least Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 and only Photoshop CS6 has it.
If upgrading to CS6 or the CC is out of the question, then you will be converting the D600 raws to dng format to open in ACR 5.7
Here's the link to DNG converter 8.7.1

Loss of thumbnails of RAW images in Photoshop prior to opening them in Camera Raw

I recently purchased and started using a Canon EOS 7D Mark II. I found that with my Photoshop CS6 I was unable to open my RAW files in Camera Raw, so I downloaded an update of Camera Raw, viz. version 8.7.1 from the Adobe website. Now I can open the RAW images from my new camera in Camera Raw. However, I have lost the capacity to display a thumbnail image of a RAW file when using the open function of the file drop down menu in Photoshop. Now when I single-click on an ID number of a RAW image from the list of images, I see only a blank thumbnail. I save lots of time using image thumbnails for selecting images for editing in Camera Raw. Is there some way to restore the ability to see RAW image thumbnails in Photoshop prior to opening images in Camera Raw?

Which operating system are you using?
Are the blank thumbnails only for the files from the canon EOS 7D Mark II camera?
An alternative is to use Bridge CS6 or Mini Bridge to see the photos before you open them in photoshop cs6.

Can't locate RAW images in Originals folder

I shoot in RAW+JPEG.
Well, I uploaded two batches of photos (two separate "Events" in iPhoto) a couple of months ago and am now looking to edit them in Lightroom. In iPhoto, these "Events" show both the JPEG and the Nikon RAW image. Each photo is labeled accordingly in the Information box.
However, when I look in the iPhoto Library packages, these two events do not show up in the "Originals" folder. They only show up in the "Modified" folder, and only as JPEGs! Where have my originals gone??
All of my other RAW images are present in the "Originals" folder. It seems as though only my last two uploads are missing.
Help!

What you're viewing in iPhoto are jpgs that iPhoto created for viewing the image. You're not looking at the the raw file itself.
To determine if you have any raw files in your library search in spotlight for the extension of your raw files. Like ".cr2" or whatever it is. If you don't get any hits that will indicate that the raw files have been removed from the hard drive.
Are you using a managed or referenced library?
Click to view full size
If you're running a reference library is there any chance it could have been a managed library when the raw files were imported. That would explain having the jpg file for viewing and no raw files.
I would also download and use Find Any File to search for the file extension. FAF can search inside packages and areas of the hard drive that spotlight can't.

Downloaded Camera Raw update 6.2 but still can't open raw images

I followed all the steps as indicated on this page: Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.2 update but for some reason I still can't open .CR2 files . My camera (Canon Rebel T3i) is on the list of supported files. What should I do? I'm using Windows and I have Photoshop elements 8.0.

You need camera raw 6.4 for your camera. It is mot compatible with PSE8. You need to upgrade to PSE13. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in PSE8 (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.6
Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.6

Raw images all blank

I have managed masters in Aperture. Last night went to print an image and received message that "Versions with unavailable originals cannot be printed". Then all Raw images started to blank out - the image and thumbnail are black. Some are marked as Image Format unavailable.
The metadata is still there and the image count is the same.
It is only RAW images that seem to be "lost".
This has only happened in the last day or so. I have not attempted to move images or library.
I have tried to File>Locate Referenced Files - message back is that selection has no referenced files.
Tried File>Relocate Original - didnt seem to do anything.
Tried Photos> Reprocess Originals - message back none need reprocessing
I am using a mid-2010 iMac, Aperture ver 3.4.1, OS X 10.8.2...and am not particularly familiar with Mac as have only been using for the last couple of years and use mainly for photos.
Appreciate any help...do I just need to reinstate from vault or time machine...or is there some issue with RAW processing?

It looks like you are having the rare problem, that Aperture has lost the connection to its original image files, that are managed, and only for the raw images.
There is no built-in option to reconnect managed originals. If you are lucky, this is only a problem of wrong permissions or some glitch in the library, that can be fixed by the library first aid. Try the first aid tools:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
and start with "Repair permissions", then "Repair Database", finally "Rebuild Database".
or is there some issue with RAW processing?
What camera do you have? Some posters have reported, that their Nikon D800 images are no longer recognized, see this thread.
After repairing your library, try to import new rwa images, and see, if the problem is only with the previous imports.
