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.

What operating system are you using?
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.
There is an example of how on a windows system in this thread:

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.

How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

How can i open Nikon D610 RAW files in Element 12 ?

You need the ACR 8.3 plug-in to open D610 NEF files.
Check what Help / About Plug-ins / Camera Raw reports for the version number.
If it is something less than 8.3, update to the ACR 8.3 plug-in using Help / Updates from the Editor. If that says there are no updates, then uninstall and re-install and try again.
If it is already ACR 8.3 then the files are likely corrupted by using an obsolete version of Nikon Transfer or ViewNX with them.
You can fix that corruption using a utility from the following webpage, where 14-bits is likely what you’d want to specify, and only use Nikon utilities that are as new as your camera:

PSCS3 won't open Nikon D7000 RAW files

I just purchased a Nikon D7000. Shot some RAW files and tried to download to iPhoto, not possible. SO, installed Nikon VIEW NX2, and Transfer 2. RAW images downloaded to my computer (late 2008 Macbook Pro, Leopard 10.5.8, Camera RAW plug-in 6) into ViEW 2. But showing the followiing format: _DSC001.NEF
Normally, it should read: DSC_001.NEF
SO within the Nikon software, I can work on the image, but I cannot export it into PS. It comes up with an error that the image format is unreadable. (Nor can I find how to get it out of VIEW NX2 , but that might just be my lack of reading all the info there, will see)
I contacted Nikon and they told me to change something in Image Capture in my MAC apps. I went there, but Image Capture was already set to the change they asked me to do.
I tried to download again, but same problem. I tried to download into iPhoto, in order to try and get it into PS, but it wouldn't. All files were unreadable.
JPEG, however, does download, with both file formats, and opensin iPhoto and PS, whether there is a _ first or a letter first.
SO, I don't know what to do. I am assuming all my plug-in's are up to date.
My D70 RAW transfers fine!!! The D7000, not.
Any info out there??? Nikon has not replied back a second time when I responded to them.
Thank you for any help. I welcome it all.

Thanks, all of you.
I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw DNG 6.4 (Not 7.1 as I read it worked slow and had some bugs still in it) and backcomplied it to open in a 4.6 format. It works to open RAW in my PSCS3 now. Great! Of course I definitely will be checking out PSCS6 Extended for an upgrade, but for now, I can use this.
I have 3 questions that I am not clear on.
1) When I converted, I included the 'original raw file' within the DNG, as opposed to NOT incuding it. They say you can open it later, that it is inside the DNG. Please someone explain to me how this can be when I am adjusting and cropping my files after opening in RAW.? (OK I know nothing about this). Where do I find the file???
2) I did notice a little bit of color loss, or maybe it is in the Adobe 1998 color space, but it seemed to transfer fine. Is this the case?
3) If I save in Tiff, would the embedded file still be in the DNG ??It would no longer be a DNG file. I am asuming that I SHOULD be saving an original conversion in DNG for archives and to make copies from. I really do not understand this. I am saving the original NEF file in the Nikon VIEW NX2 for later use as a backup.
Thank you again.

How to open D7000 RAW file in elements 9

how to open D7000 Raw file in elements 9

Barbara B.
Your suggestion to try another file resolved the Converter issue. I found that I can open any jpg or tif file in any album that appears in the
Windows Explorer. So the problem was not with the RAW Converter. Instead, I found another problem. The ENTIRE Album
containing the file I had been trying to open is missing from the Windows Explorer (and I cannot open the file from the Album
showing in the Organizer -- while I'm in the Editor!).
So -- can you give me any help with this new problem of an Album that shows in the Organizer but not the Windows Explorer?

NEF files from which Nikon camera?

Cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5

Hello!
I cannot open Nikon 1V2 Raw files in CS5
Camera Raw Version is 5.0.0.178, PS CS5 Version 11.0.2
Anyone have a suggestion that does not involve upgrading to a newer version of Photoshop?
Thanks!

Does this mean that I can't get Camera Raw 7.3 with Photoshop CS5?
Naturally.
Photoshop CS5 does not use ACR 7.
I did read about using the free DNG Converter but that seems like an extra step I would prefer to avoid if possible.
Either upgrade Photoshop or use another means to process the RAW files, and cost-wise DNG Converter can hardly be beat.

Sometimes the Adobe servers can get busy; so try again from Expert Mode:

You should be able to select ACR 7.4 (see image) and then click the update button.

There's no direct support for your camera in CS5.
It would require ACR 7.3 or higher, which only work with CS6.
You can download and run the free Adobe DNG Converter 7.4 to convert your raw Canon files to raw DNGs which you can then open in CS5.

ACR 7.0 in Released version of CS6 doesn't open Nikon D800 raw files.

The ACR 7.0 that installs with rhe released version of Photoshop CS6 still won't open Nikon d800 raw files.

Noel - I do use a card reader and always have! I don't go direct from the camera. As I point out, I am working around the problems that are stated above and I am here forcing myself to learn by asking those questions. Thanks though. I’m not ignoring anyone if I were I wouldn’t have all the comments above.
Jeff - I mentioned that I'm a teacher and need to know what I'm doing with the software. Sorry for the attitude.
I am an artist before a teacher it’s just that I like to be proficient when I teach (google me).
Why do you feel such animosity towards education? I’m really sorry I posted here at all.
ssprengel -
I am equally as surprised and not blaming LR4 just making an observation. I have used LR for years and manage a library of over 60,000 images with it. It is my software of choice and will continue to be. But this has become a persistent problem only with the D800 14bit NEF +- 45MB files, all other files from my Nikon DX cameras and my Canon cameras are fine. I’m not blaming LR4 it could also be the Nikon NEF, I just don’t know why LR4 truncates the D800 files and other software doesn’t.
- if I move files using Nikon ViewNX 2 or Windows7 Explorer the files simply move without problem. When I move them using LR4 they become truncated (no end of file error message). If I move them with LR4 and then copy over them into the new folder with the original copy, LR4 corrects and is able to deal with the file in their new destination. (this means a lot of extra work and saving the originals in another directory LR4 doesn’t see).
It's confusing. I have reinstalled LR4 3 times already and checked the hard disks. The bottom line is that both Windows and ViewNX will move the file without altercation. I don’t know why? Yet further confusion. Please realize that I am aware this may be an isolated issue and I intend to ask one of the college techs. to look at the problem.
I am not attacking Adobe, I only use Adobe products with my images and I want it to work that’s why I came here in the first place. I have a lot of money invested in Adobe software both here and all our other licences. Please stop using words like blame, reporting an issue is not blaming. Don’t shoot me I’m just conveying my current (personal) experiences with the product. I’m trying to figure out why and how to make it work.
This is my last post on this thread. Thanks a lot for all your help. I remain a faithful Adobe client and appreciative of all your kind remarks and assistance above.
