OS X Lion does not sort Nikon NEF (RAW) files...

After my upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, I've noticed that Lion can't sort my Nikon NEF (RAW) files as it did in the past.  It treats them like JPG images, no matter how I try to ARRANGE BY.   Has anyone experienced this?  Or perhaps know of a solution to fix it, as I shoot in both JPG and RAW with my Nikon D80 camera. 
Thank you.

PathFinder is an alternative/complement to Finder.
It offers several choices including directories always on top followed by the files. Also split windows.
I use it  and Finder - both have there places on my machines.
As a further note I found that on my MBA running Lion is is even crazier, Arrange by Kind scrambles the files in no obvious order.
Also looking at 10.6.8 I find that Arrange by KInd from the Action Button put the files in reverse alphabetical order by file type (NEFs before JPGs) while Arrange by Type from View in the Menu bar puts them in alphabetical order by file type.
I've had follow-up form Apple on my reporting of this....so we'll see what happens.

    Thank you for your response. I fixed the problem by simply importing the 
    images using windows rather than the Nikon Transfer.

  • 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,

    NEF files from which Nikon camera?

  • PSE 8 does not support Nikon 7000D RAW files?

    I just got a Nikon 7000D, and when I tried to open up one of the .NEF (RAW) files in PSE 8, it wasn't supported.  I researched the Camera RAW plug-in, and from what I can tell, PSE 8 is only compatible with Camera RAW up to version 6.2.  It looks like version 6.3 is only useable with PSE 9.
    Camera RAW 6.2 does not support files from the Nikon 7000D, or at least the list I saw does not show it, so I did not download 6.2.  Is my only choice for being able to use PSE 9 with my 7000D to spend the money on PSE 9?   -Bill C

    You could also download the standalone DNG converter and make DNG files (which you may be able to process in 6.2), or use the Nikon software to convert your files and do any additional editing in PSE.

  • Converter 7.4 does not recognise Nikon J3 RAW files

    Hi,
    I downloaded the Converter 7.4 to convert the RAW files from my Nikon J3, but I keep getting 'No items match your search' when I try to select files that I want to convert.
    I have tried downloading Converter 8.1 as well, just to see if there were some updates that would help, but still no success.
    I am using the Nikon J3 with a 10-100mm VR lens.
    Does anyone have any tips?
    Many thanks for your help.

    You cannot choose individual files or groups of files within the DNG converter.  As the prompt indicates, you can only select the folder that contains the raw files.  If you want to convert individual images you have to drag/drop them onto the DNG converter icon.  You might consider installing DNG converter 8.1, which is the latest and will support the most cameras.

  • 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.

    Latest Lithroom 5.6 does not recognize my .cr2 raw file format and Windows 7 it asociates with my older raw plug in in Ps CS5.5. I am not able to change default program for .cr2 in the properties pannel...
    every new released update of Lr from v 5.2 changed somethin in my Windows 7 Professional settings. I am stucked. Can somebody help me please? Many thanks. Andrej

    Hi Jim,
    yes after I imported my .cr2 raw files into new catalog it started to work. Windows 7 still does not recognize them but I can edit them as you said within the Lr5.6 and then export them into .psd or .dng files...as needed.
    I bought Lr5 only because I got present - my new camera Cannon 70D and because my older Photoshop CS5.5 raw plugin does not recognize. cr2 files.
    Many thanks for your help.

  • How to import Nikon Nef (raw Files) ?

    Hello
    I'm having problems importing Nikon Nef Raw files, PSE9 is displaying the message The file is damaged or file format
    cannot be included. Any suggestions please.

    You are going to need Adobe Camera Raw 6.3, but the only version that has been released is the Version 6.3 Release Candidate, which I don't think can be installed with PSE. You will have to wait until the final version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 is released.
    The only workaround is to use the Version 6.3RC DNG Converter to convert your RAW files to DNG files, which can then be accessed by PSE.

  • How does one convert Nikon D750 raw files?

    Does the latest version of dng converter convert Nikon D750 raw files to dng files?  If not, is Adobe going to come out with a version that does soon?  I am using PS5.5 and have been converting raw files from a previous camera to dng files and then working on them in my version of PS, not sure how to handle D750 files...
    Thanks...

    No one outside of adobe knows when the will release software the Nikon D750 was announce what a week  ago. Nikon must have software to convert NEF RAW files to RGB images. Nikon | News | Digital SLR camera D750

  • Lightroom5 not recognising Nikon D300s RAW files

    Hi,  I have recently upgraded to a new iMac running OSx Mavericks.  Lightroom 5 is not recognising my Nikon d300s raw files (NEF).  According to everything I have read on the net it should as Lightroom is brand new and up to date.
    Any advice.?
    Thanks

    They all show up in the preview view finder but then I get the error message "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" with a list of the files underneath.
    This is the first time I have used Lightroom 5 with the D300s... having just changed computers and upgraded from Lightroom 4. I have also now found out I can't download JPegs either!?!?!? You know that feeling when you think "if it isn't broken don't fix it" that's how I'm feeling right now about buying the new computer and software!!

  • Does Bridge support Nikon P7000 raw files in CS5?

    I have Photoshop CS5 with the latest ACR installed. ACR opens the Nikon P7000 NWR raw files just fine, but Bridge doesn;'t seem to recognize them. I have the latest version of Bridge installed as well. I did an update in Bridge and it said it was the latest version, so I believe it. Does the latest Bridge support Nikon P7000 raw files?

    Any idea why ACR is working fine with the P7000 raw images and Bridge doesn't recognize them?
    If you tried to browse the P7000 files before updating Camera Raw you may need to purge the cache for that folder. In Bridge select Tool, Cache, Purge Cache for "xxxx" folder. (xxxx being the folder you are trying to browse).

  • Using a Nikon Nef Raw file with PSE 9

    I am just starting to look at the RAW capability of my Nikon D3100, it comes with software called View NX 2 which your supposed to use to deal with the RAW files etc, but I am wondering how good is PSE 9 when working with (Nikon's) Nef RAW files? Should I be using View NX 2 for this?
    Thanks.

    Both are good softwares but PSE gives you some extended capabilities of editing and organizing.

  • Bridge CC does not have Nikon .NEF file association to set

    When I open preferences and go to File Association settings, the extention for Nikon Raw .NEF is not there. It's a pain having to right click the thumbnail everytime I want to open it Photoshop CC.  I do have Photoshop CS6 and it defaults to that in the context menu when I right click.  How do I change that. I am on a MAC using OS X  Mavericks.

    JPGs use lossy compression so some pixels aren’t exactly the same anymore; however, if you use the highest or close to highest quality setting in LR during Export it will be hard to tell any difference.  
    JPGs are compressed by contain 3 colors per pixel whereas raw files (NEFs in your case) usually contain only one bit per pixel and are compressed in a way that makes them smaller but doesn’t lose any image data.
    TIFs if not compressed are the width x height x 1 or 2 bytes per pixel x 3 colors-per-pixel so can be huge as you have seen.
    If you shoot JPG and edit those in LR you still cannot see the LR edits in those original JPGs, only the camera rendering.
