Photoshop will not open NEF files

I have a Nikon D5200 that I purchased a couple months ago. I recently decided to start shooting in raw, and I found I could not open the photos in photoshop (CS6). I took to the internet and found that I needed to download the Adobe DNG Converter. I got the 7.3 version which says it supports the d5200, but photoshop still can't open the files. I tried restarting photoshop and my computer after downloading the plugin. I tried the same with the 8.3 version, and still no luck. Can anyone help me out?

Not quite.
There are two options:
Update the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in used by Photoshop to recognize and process Raw files, or
If your version of Photoshop is not compatible with the version of ACR required to open Raw files from your camera, then download and install the DNG converter to convert Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in your version of Photoshop
The limitation with the ACR plugin is that
different versions of ACR support different camera models Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras and
ACR is only compatible with specific versions of Photoshop. Full list here: Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
In your case, the D5200 was first supported in ACR 7.3.
Photoshop CS6 shipped with ACR 7.0 and is compatible up to ACR 8.5 (8.3 with Windows XP).
So, in PHotoshop, check your version of Camera Raw (Help > About Plug-Ins > Camera Raw). Click Help > Updates to update ACR.

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.

I need to make a pdf document, made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

I need to make a pdf document, already made in photoshop, 'page turn' and then add it to my website as an e-brochure. I know I can do this in indesign but indesign will not open pdf files for some inexplicable reason. Any ideas how I can do it without completely starting again?

Hello waitingone,
please try this (all terms are translated from my German programs to my best knowledge):
1. Did the creator of the pdf file enable the import options?
2. See import options: choose an other visibility option for your layer.
3. Let you show the import options and click into one with a black background and try these out (often a gray is selected).
4. See trimming: try the different modes there. Often works: "Media".
5. Is the pdf file (eg from Word) correctly created?
6. Is the PDF file protected? >>> no import possible.
7. If that does not help, store the pdf file in Acrobat, repair possible errors, run the PDF Optimizer before placing in InDesign.
Good luck!

But you can download DNG converter 8.6 or newer and create digital negative (DNG) copies that will be compatible with Photoshop CS5.

Photoshop will not open some of my files

I recently had a hard drive crash. I sent it to a recovery company and they returned my files on a new hard drive. Many of the images were recovered but some show up as CR2 files or psd files that photoshop will not open. The message says that this is a file format that PS does not recognize. These files seem to be no different from my other CR2 files and psd. files but the thumbnails don't show up in Bridge and PS will not open them. Can anyone tell me how to get these files to open?

I thought this following suggestion to use GIMP to open stubborn PSD files was brilliant:

you may also want to try using the DNG converter with your CR2 files:

it's worth a try, but it's a long shot.

Most current update of Photoshop - will not open any of my previously saved files?

I have the most current update of Photoshop CC, but it will not open any files that I have previously saved. They will not open if i use the Open command or if I try and open them from the folder. I cannot create new files either. Is there something I need to fix to get this to work again? I need this for work.

Please read these and proceed accordingly:

Photoshop will not open unless as Admin but that causes other problems

Hi all,
There are two problems:
1. If I don't run photoshop as an administrator
2. If I run photoshop as an administrator.
1. If I don't run as administrator, Photoshop will NOT open. I can't even open .psd by double clicking them. Can't open from the installed directory, can't open from shortcuts. It only works if I right click run as admin or set properties to run as admin.
I am the only user for the system, and I have even taken ownership of all files. Yet, it still requires me to run as admin. I am running CS5 with windows 7 64bit.
2. If I run as admin I cannot drag or drop files into PS. As detailed in here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/3640635. I can open files manually through file menu, but dragging and dropping is disabled (shows a circle with a slash when i drag into PS). Their solution in the forum was to remove running as admin. But if I do that, I get problem 1.
Any ideas?
Jason

Option 1: Clearly something went wrong when installing Photoshop, or you have changed permissions on your system for some part(s) Photoshop needs to access. Verify, for example, that you have Full Control access to the root of the hard drive you have identified as scratch. A reinstall of Photoshop might correct this.
Option 2: Windows UAC is likely the culprit here. Some folks choose to turn off UAC completely, which means you'll be running everything as Administrator all the time, but that should not be done without FULLY understanding what UAC does for you and what additional measures you'll take to ensure your system doesn't get infected with malware.

PSE 9 suddenly will not open pse files - due to "program error"

The program was working fine yesterday and now suddenly will not open pse files created yesterday or today. The error message reads "could not complete action due to program error." Am I going to need to deactivate and reinstall - and if so, how do I do that? Will I lose all brushes loaded into presets, all files currently unable to be opened if I do that?

I have the same or at least similar issue - When try
ing to open a Photoshop Elements 9 slideshow I get this message
"This application has requested the Runtime
to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact
this application's support team for further assistance" I first saw this problem today - can't think of why now. I've had the program since last Christmas.
I sure would like a solution as I'm in the midst of a project with it.

Safari will not open pdf files.

Safari will not open pdf files, instead I get a blank grey screen. How can I get a viewable and downloadable screen/file? Tried Alt/Option to view and it doesn't work either. Firefox and Chrome will not work either.

For Mac check the Safari preferences.
General to set the options for opening links from applications.
Tabs to set the other options.
Hold down the command key to open any link in a new tab.
Sorry, gave up windows several years ago.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading.

After upgrading to ios6 my iphone will not open .xls files in emails with the default viewer. Is there a fix for this? The same emailed .xls files still open on my ipad using ios5 while viewing email like they did on my iphone prior to upgrading. I have no special software like numbers or anything else installed on either device. Just using the default viewer provided by apple for viewing email.

The attachment is an .xls excel 97-2003 spreadsheet. I viewed the file in the email and did not edit it with any software. I can forward the file to anyone that is may want to check it out to see if they can help me. I was wondering if there was some way of forcing another ios6 install on my phone and maybe that would solve it.
Is there anyone out there that is viewing .xls files in email using ios6 w/o any other software installed like numbers or any other add ons? I am not upgrading my ipad from ios5 to ios6 so I can still continue to view the emails on my ipad. Is there an email viewer .xls plug-in that will be availablle in the next ios6 update?

CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008 - it says a plug-in may be missing.

My CS 3.0.1 will not open InDesign files created in 2008. It says a plug-in may be missing. I did have a computer crash since I last opened it. I've tried changing the extension to inx, but that doesn't work. I cannot get the file to open. Can someone help?

The OP is using CS. He/she could be trying to open CS2 or later.
Simply changing the file extension will do know good and only an INX exported from CS2 will work.
