Photoshop CS3 Does not open NEF files - ???

Hi all,
I just installed Fireworks cs3 (old version) on my mac, as I want to work with slideshows without having to bother with html and xml language.
To my horror I found out that Bridge CS3 and PS CS3 do not open a Nikon Raw file (.nef) All I get is a message saying: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.
Has any of you ever come across this? How can I solve the problem?

You can make sure your Photoshop and RAW converter are up to date. You don't say what camera you're using, so it will be hard to guess, but it's probably newer than CS3. In that case you have two Adobe options: upgrade to CS4, or use the free DNG converter to convert your NEF files to DNG, then process them in Camera RAW.

  • Photoshop cs3 will not open any files when I try to open them?

    Can somebody please help me? I have tried resetting my preferences in photoshop and it still does not work. I go to file < open < and the image does show up or anything I try to open in photoshop. I have windows xp and I am using photoshop cs3.

    It almost sounds as though something has corrupted your installation of Adobe programs. It could be perhaps a necessary Common File being deleted, or corrupted.
    Most Adobe programs offer the Repair Install feature, and I would see if it's available for CS3. CS2 Production Studio apps. allow for this. When I have had to do the Repair Install, I have just inserted the installation media (Disk 1), and have chosen Repair Install from the AutoRun menu. In some later versions, there was a Repair Install available from the Help menu, so you can look there too.
    With suites, I have done the Repair Install for each program in the suite (CS2 Production Studio in my case), and just gone down the list (second, or third menu) of installed programs. For Production Studio, the whole process took no more than 45 mins. from the installation disks.
    If you have lost something, the Repair Install should fix it.
    Good luck,

  • PE 9 does not open .nef files??? Help

    I have no idea why and have reinstalled PE9, restarted the computer, and this is a brand new Dell. Help???

    If you have a new camera model which is not supported in PSE9 (see above link from Mylenium) you have two alternatives:
    (1) Upgrade to PSE 10 or wait for PSE11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software) But first see if there is a camera raw update (help >> Updates from the Editor)
    Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.1
    You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

    Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
    The E-M1 was first supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and CC. It is not compatible with CS5 or lower and never will be.
    Some options:
    Upgrade to CS6
    Join the Cloud
    Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all the Raw E-M1 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5

  • CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

    CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

    Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

  • PS CC does not open psdx-files

    Hallo, PS CC does not open psdx-files, although I installed the Touchapp-Plugin. In PS CS6 there were no problems.

    Did you install the optional plugin in Photoshop CC?

  • Photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    photoshop elements does not open, says "gathering user info...."

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4:
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.
    Solution 5: Try with admin account or right click and select run as admin. or try directly from .exe

  • Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly

    Hi,
    I just started using the Adobe Creative Cloud as a trial, in particular the Premiere Pro CC software, since it might be relevant, I am working on a mac (completely updated as of yesterday).
    I have a JVC GZ-MG505 camcorder. This device saves the video files on an internal HDD in a file format called MOD. From what I have been able to see when searching on the web, this should be nothing more than a MPEG-2 file.
    So, I tried importing some video files into Premiere Pro and to my surprise, I noticed that a whole strip on the right hand side of the image is missing. The original is recorded in a widescreen (16:9) format with 720x576 pixels and Premiere Pro gives me a file with 540x576 pixels. I have tried using the Interpret Footage to change this, but it doesn't let me change the number of pixels. I also tried opening the files in Adobe Media Encoder and I have exactly the same results as in Premiere Pro. However, opening the files in VLC or mPlayer they come out exactly as expected with all the pixels there. Has anyone come accross this problem before or can anyone help me with solving this?
    I could try reencoding the files with VLC, but the output file is much smaller than the input file, so I am afraid I am loosing some definition.
    So, just to restate my problem, the adobe products open my MOD files without complaining, but for some reason they loose a strip 180 pixels wide on the right hand side of the image.
    Cheers

    Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly
    That is correct: there is a bug in CC. In CS6 they work correctly.
    Please file a bug report.

  • QT does not open AVI file

    hello,
    I have installed Perian but with Mountain Lion QT does not open AVI file (no audio and no video)
    do you have any suggestion?

    I am using QT pre-installed in Mountain (should be X)
    QT X can only play files using codecs it is programmed to expect to be used in the loaded file container/with the loaded file's stated extension. For example, QT X will not play a "muxed" MPEG-2/AC3 file with an MOV or VOB file extension but will usually play the file if the extension is changed to TS, MPG, or MPEG. On the other hand, the QT 7 Player tends to look at the internal header information and select a codec based on what the file says it needs for the actual playback. Thus, the QT 7 Player may frequently play files that the QT X Player does not play.
    Besides supporting the the AVI file container, your QT system must also be configured to support the actual audio and video codecs contained in the AVI file and not have a "conflict" problem. For instance, Motion JPEG support for QT was dropped with the release of Lion. AVI files containing MJPEG video thay plays correctly under Snow Leopard will no longer play under Lion or Mountain Lion with additional support. In this case, Perian still provides such support. It also still provides support for DIVX, XVID, 3IVX, and similar third-party codecs commonly found in AVI containers. However, Perian support for such files can become conflicted if you have also installed the actual third-party codecs along with Perian and the different codecs fight over which is to be used for playback.  This is why it is important to know the actual codecs used to create files using generic file containers like AVI and MOV and the codec components actually installed on your system, as well as, their potential for creating conflicts.
    As to the actual playback of files, there are basically only three options (as indicated by the URL provided above:
    1) You can conform the file and/or your system codec component configuration to play your files using a QT player app if possible,
    2) You can use an alternative media player app the contains "native" support for the file containera and/or codecs used to create the files, or
    3) You can convert the file to a compression format and file container that that is already natively supported by QT-based applications.
    Since do not seem to know or are unwilling to identify the specific codecs causing a problem here, the only workflows left to you would be to try playing the file in an alternative media player which contains its own built-in codec support (e.g., VLC) or convert the files to something your current QT system configuration can handle (e.g., use a converter with built-in codec support like HandBrake).
