Opening Nikon NEF Raw images in photoshop CS2

I have installed the camera raw and when I try to open a raw file, it tells me that it cannot open the document because it is not the right kind of document. What do I need to do?

Make sure you have the correct version of ACR (or the DNG converter*) for your model of camera.
See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
* you need this if the ACR version required for your camera is later than the last one that worked with CS2 (which was 3.x).

  • Can't open Cannon CR2 Raw image in Photoshop CS2

    I've tried everything I can think of.
    I downloaded/installed Camera_Raw_5.2 and still can't open any of the 2 DVDs full of images.
    I'm not the best with the technical side of Adobe Products. Can anyone guide me a bit?

    No, not in the application plug-ins folder. It goes in the File Formats folder, starting the path in your Root Level LIBRARY folder.

    <br /> You should have only ONE copy of the ACR plug-in, so you have to delete the old one that resides there AND any others you may have put there, such as the incompatible ACR 5.2 you mentioned early.

  • Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

    I recently tried CS6 Suite.  Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4.  However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4.  This did not fix the problem.  Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

  • I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? can not go to updates either- error?

    I can not open canon 60d raw images on photoshop CS5.1? the same program on stationary mac can open the same raw files, whereas new lap top can not? Why?  can not go to updates either- error, why?

    Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?

    You might try downloading and installing the 6.7 camera raw update from here:

  • I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2

    I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2.  My raw files will not import into lightroom (it imports jpegs, but not the RAW files) I am using Lightroom 2, version 2.7, camera Raw 5.7. Can you help?

    I would highly recommend upgrading to Lightroom 4 as the processing engine is a quantum leap ahead from Lr 2 just as your camera is a leap ahead!!
    p.s.  you can upgrade directly fro 2 to 4.

  • Cant import NEF RAW images into Photoshop Elements 9.

    before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
    i took the images with the Nikon D3200 i NEF RAW format.
    but photoshop kept on saying that the format was not supported, i was opening them up through FILE, OPEN, then i was browsing for the photos, but it would keep ion saying that the file was not supported.
    but then i saw some where that you ha to open the image up through OPEN AS, so i did it that way, and for a moment it looked like it was working but then photoshop elements 9 crashed and it said it couldnt open up the image due to problem, can someone help me.
    for the time being i will just use the JPEG images because i took and NEF RAW image and a JPEG image at the same time, which later on i will just replace the image with the NEF RAW image when i get it to work.
    but until then cam some one help me try to get it to work, thank you.

    before anyone says i have the updated camera raw plug in because i have already looked so it should work, but it doesnt.
    The problem is that PSE9 will not support the version of camera raw that is needed for D3200 RAW files.
    To make use of these D3200 RAW files, you need to download the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.2) and then use that software to convert the RAW to DNG.
    Alternatively, you could purchase PSE 12, and then your D3200 RAW files will open properly without need for a converter.

  • Does adobe lightroom open nikon d7100 raw images?

    Does anyone know if any lightroom products can open nikon d7100 raw/nef images?

    Perhaps your confusion stems from the fact that there are a couple of different lists maintained by Adobe which need to be cross-checked against each other.
    List 1
    Starting at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    the Nikon D7100 has been supported since Camera Raw 7.4 and Lightroom 4.4.
    So Lightroom 4.4 and later versions support it.
    List 2
    However, according to this list http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 7.4 is only compatible with CS6 and later.
    So CS5 is only compatible with Camera Raw up to version 6.7: therefore CS5 will never be able to open D7100 Raw files. You'd have to use the DNG converter first then use CS5.
    So your choices:
    Buy Lightroom 5
    Upgrade CS5 to CS6
    Join the Cloud or the Photoshop Photography Program
    Or stay with CS5. Convert the D7100 Raw files to DNGs using the free DNG converter. Then open the DNGs in CS5.

  • 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.

  • CAN NOT OPEN  CANON EOS20D  RAW FILE IN PHOTOSHOP CS2

    I had Photoshop CS2 installed on my PC some years ago and could open my raw files from my canon eos 20d. I changed the hard drives in my pc to solid state drives and had to reinstall photoshop cs2. I could not activate photoshop as it was too old a version so I had to download from adobe website with their activation code. Now, I can not open any of my canon eos 20d files. I have taken some now photos just a few days ago and the problem still arises. I get the message that it does not recognise this type of file. Any ideas?

    You downloaded, extracted (unzipped) the Camera_Raw_3_7.zip and copied/moved the Camera Raw.8bi to
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2 (windows 64 bit system)

  • Using PS Elements 10 and MUST access Nikon .NEF Raw images from Nikon D60 and D7100 cameras.

    Previously installed update for D7100, but it's no longer recognizing the Nikon .NEF files.  What's the solution other than buying a new version? There are important images that need to be converted to JPEG for upload to a newsletter that will be published this week.  Thanks.

    I am using Windows 7.  I think that the best path might be a third party conversion program.  Do you have a recommendation?

  • I can't open my Nikon D7100 RAW image in Photoshop CS5

    Q I am having difficulty downloading Camera Raw 6.7 onto Photoshop CS5 Please advise

    The DNG Converter 8.2 is available in the Camear Raw updates section of Adobe’s updates page:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
    The DNG Converter is a standalone application that you must run explicitly to processes a FOLDER of raw files at a time, and creates a copy of each of the folder’s raw files that has a DNG extension.  Its purpose is to create a package containing the original raw data plus the camera profile and other camera-support parameters so that older ACR plug-ins have enough information to process the raw data.  
    This is an extra step that some find inconvenient and if you’re not comfortable deleting your original RAWs (I never delete them) then you’ll end of with things taking about twice the space.  
    Personally, I always update to the current version of PS so I have the current version of the ACR plug-in so PS will integrated seamlessly with the current version of Lightroom which is the main image-adjustment component of my workflow, and I rarely use PS, anymore.

  • ??  Cannot open Nikon NEF files in CS4 (or CS2)  !!???

    Hi,
    I have had problems using CS2 previously. I could not open RAW files from my Nikon D90 (saved as NEF files). So I just bought CS4 upgrade to see if I could overcome the problem. No luck.
    I also downloaded Camera Raw 4.4.1.85. I can see the file metadata -- showing that the files are NEF. But whenever I try to open one, I get the message:  "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document."
    Please help !!!!    This is the same message I got before when using CS2.
    I cannot attach an example NEF file because they are too large --- but tell me where to send one if needed...
    Thanks,

    P.S.  I wasn't sure if I should post this here, or in the Camera Raw forum...?. Should I post this over there too?

  • How can I open Nikon NEF raw files in CS4?

    I've tried all the tips I've seen in the Forums so far to no avail.  I've downloaded the latest software, I've found the Carmera Raw.8bi file - it's in the Adobe/Plug Ins/CS/File Format.  I have Cs4 selected as the default to open NEF files.  What else can I do?  I have the D90.

    The latest version of camera raw is 5.7 for cs4.
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4683
    If you go to the About Plug-in under the help menu and choose camera
    raw, you can see which version you have.
    The location should be C:/Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS4/File Formats.
    If you have a 64 bit windows, there will be one in the Program files/common files
    and one in the Program files (x86)/common files.
