Preview not Available for NEF files

It is my first time using LR and also my first time trying to download NEF files from my new D750. I removed the card from the camera and inserted it into my computer (MacBook Pro) I can see previews of the images shot in JPEG format, but those shot in RAW format are appearing as boxes with "Preview not available".  The D750 came with Nikon ViewNX2 software, which I downloaded, and I can see the previews on that. Any suggestions/ideas on what might be the problem?

Lightroom does not support the Nikon D750 RAW photos at this time.
Please read this thread:
Support for Nikon D750
Just released (see the message 49 of that thread) is a DNG converter that should allow you to convert the NEF to DNG and import those into Lightroom.

  • Preview not available for this file on import

    I just transferred all my stuff from a vista computer to a new Windows 7. Lightroom 3.3 is now running as a 64 bit. I am importing tiff scans which were done on the Vista computer. At first everything was going fine, but now when I select files for import, all I can see are greyed out boxes which say "preview not available for this file". If I import the file, all is well, but I would like to see them in preview as well. Also, the program has crashed twice in the middle of an import.
    Thanks for any help!

    Yes, the larger preview is viewable. I'm using Vuescan to scan the files. Nothing has changed with the scanning from the previous scans which worked fine...same settings, same computer (not the new one).

  • "Preview not available for this file" error message.

    I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
    I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

  • Thumbnail preview not working for NEF files

    Just bought a Nikon D750. Very disappointed that its NEF files don't show as thumbnails in Finder. I just get a generic thumb with NEF written in it. Nikon have a codec for Windows that cures this problem, but they haven't bothered to provide one for Mac OSX. Does anyone know of a fix please?

  • Filters not available for a file coming from Lightroom

    Hi everyone,
    And sorry for my poor english
    I started to work with Lightroom and Photoshop CS5.5 some weeks ago to improve my pictures and my photographic workflow. Here is my problem :
    - I import a RAW picture in Lightroom with DNG conversion, everything is fine in Lightroom.
    - I want to edit the picture in Photoshop so I click "Edit in... Photoshop CS5", so that I'm editing a copy in PSD format. Camera RAW works fine.
    - Once I'm in Photoshop with my .psd file, some filters (some default filters of Photoshop and also some external plug-ins) are not available (I cannot click on it in the filters menu) while others work like a charm.
    Is it normal?
    If it is, why?
    If it is not, what should I do to get rid of the problem?
    Thanks for your attention
    <LeToC>

    I spent hours to find the answer to this question... and you just made my day!
    I tried with a jpeg file as I have not my RAW files with me right now and it seems you're right. I'll try with my RAW files as soon as possible just to check and let you know.
    Do you know if these upgrades are planned? 16 bits is quite a good improvement and I like to play with some of the stupid toys like "pixelate" or "texturize"
    Anyway, thanks a lot for this !

  • Preview not working for .jfx files anymore

    Hi, I used to be able to look at jfx (efax) files using preview on my mac. Now I click open, preview starts but does nothing. I can still open images and pdf's.
    This is for more than 1 file, all jfx files I get cannot be opened (even ones I could earlier read). If I click on the file and right click get info, its associated with preview, and the preview pane of it shows the actual fax. It just will not open in preview.
    If I rename the file to .tif then it works fine.
    Is there an error log file for preview or any other way to debug this?
    thanks Joel

    I tested this on another 10.5.8 computer and same problem, more I thinking its a problem with Preview and not my computer...

  • Icon preview not working for occaisonal file

    Hi y'all.
    I'm using Illustrator CS4 and there is a particular file that I cannot seem to save with an icon preview.
    And yes, I've selected pdf compatibility, with no success.
    Could it be that I'm resaving an old file that was originally created in Illustrator 10?  Could it be related to the use of many patterns?
    Any other suggestions?
    B.

    Hello to both of you.  Sorry for the delay in response!
    Yes, I've tried doing a "save as" - even to different places on my hard drive.
    And yes to the other suggestion: my folder prefs do say show icon preview.
    Any other thoughts?  Could it have something to do with the patterns I've used?  Patterns can do weird things, I hear....

  • Preview not available

    Hello:
    I'm running Lightroom 3.6 on Windows XP.  My laptop crashed and I had to re-install Lightroom.  When I try to import my photos, I'm receiving "Preview is not available for this file".
    Can someone help me out?  Lightroom was working perfectly before the crash and I don't quite understand what happened during the install process.
    Thanks in advance.

    Just finished a similar exercise.  Finally figured out I needed to upgrade LR from 3.0 to 3.3 then to 3.6.  You might check to see if you are running in 3.0.

  • Custom DNG camera profiles only available for DNG files?

    I developed a custom camera profile for my Sigma DP-1, using a colorchecker chart and the DNG profile editor.
    I exported the DNG profile in the default location.
    When I open Lightroom or ACR, the new profile is not available for X3F files, only DNG files. Is this normal???

    Well, I've imported the original X3F file as well as the converted DNG file in Lightroom.
    When I develop the DNG file, my custom profile appears in the list. When I click on the X3F file, embedded*  is the only option.
    It may have to do with an incomplete support of the X3F format. I have just repeated the exercise for my D300, and in this case the custom profile is available for NEF files.
    Too bad since I'm happy with some of the Adobe camera profiles for the D300, but less so with the default look for Sigma DP-1 files.
    I guess I should file a bug report...
    * or "matrix" or whatever is the term in the english version, I have the french version which says "incorporé"

  • Photoshop CC with CS3 will not open Nikon NEF files for the D610.[was:CC]

    Photoshop CC with CS3 will not open Nikon NEF files for the D610. Is there a fix for this? Fast Eddy

    I assume you're running Photoshop CC (not sure what you mean by "with CS3" unless that's the version you upgraded to CC from)

  • Sharing Folio - Source .indd files are not available for this article

    when sharing a folio, and opening it up in indesign 5.5 all articles say:
    "Source .indd files are not available for this article"
    What is the point of sharing if you can't change articles and update them?

    Because you’re not sharing the InDesign files, you’re sharing the folio.
    Pretty similar to sharing a PDF but not the source files.
    That said, I’m working on a project with someone else and everything sits in a Dropbox folder. Only I can update the folios but my partner has access to the InDesign files.

  • Why are some Filters not available for some image files?

    I noticed that the Lighting Effect filter under Render is not available for all of my image files (grayed out).
    I perform a "Merge Visible" for all the layers, but still this filter and some others are grayed out on some images. Does the bit-depth matter (8 or 16-bit) or file type (.PSD or .TIFF)? Thanks.

    Many filters don't work on 16-bit files.
    Some of them are pretty ancient.

  • I have Firefox 5.0.1, and a theme I want to download says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1, but at the top it says that it is not available for my platform. What do I do?

    I just downloaded Firefox 5.0.1, and one of the themes I want to download and try out says that it works with Firefox 4.0b9pre - 7.0a1. At the top, though, it says that the theme is not available for my platform. It has happened with some other themes as well, but I didn't check what versions they work with. I don't know what this means or what to do about it. The theme is at this link: https://addons.mozilla.org/z/en-US/firefox/addon/bloomind-ft-deepdark-2/

    It says:
    <blockquote>"Bloomind FT DeepDark 2" is a theme that has been created to transform the look of Firefox 4 for <b>Windows</b> users. It has been specially designed for Seven, but rendering is relatively accurate on XP and Linux (<b>I can t test it on MAC</b>, but for those who would like to try it anyway on that platform, <u>you can force download and install it</u>).</blockquote>
    So try to save that file via the right-click context menu.

  • Valid size not available for this creation when using Greeting Card feature

    Using PSE9 with a Mac.  When attempting to create a greeting card, after selecting the photo, the Greeting Card, I receive a pop up error message as follows:
    "Valid Size Not Available For This Creation".  (All other Create functions such as Photo Book, Photo Calendar, and Photo Collage appear to be working).  I have been in contact with Adobe Support and have been instructed to do a number of things from creating a new preferences file to uninstalling and re-installing the PSE software, with no result.  Has anyone else run into this problem, and if so have found a fix?  Thanks.

    I've been tearing my hair out over this one also. I've been on hold for over 10 hrs with Adobe Support waited over almost 2 weeks and still no resolution. I'm trying to create the Save the Date cards for my wedding and I can't wait for Adobe. Removing the preferences file and uninstalling/reinstalling does not fix the problem.
    That said I did figure out a workaround for this. It's easy but it does require Windows. For me this was no big deal as I do own a Windows box.
    Get the free trial version of PE9 for Windows and install it. If you don't have a Windows computer get to a friend that has one
    Upload some of your photos to the PE9 Windows Organizer (it's identical to the mac version)
    Select Create and then Greeting card. Photoshop will launch the guided edit feature for greeting cards.
    Select the Layout feature and once you find out that you like save it as Photoshop project. Repeat this step for as many layouts as necessary.
    Copy your Photoshop project files (and any folders) to your mac.
    Open the project files as you would with any other Photoshop file.
    You can now select the Create feature. You will be able add your pictures and resize them, you will be able to add/remove text, you'll be able to change the backgound/borders, add graphics...pretty much anything...EXCEPT automatically modify the layout. If you click on Layout, PE9 returns nothing. You can however go into full edit mode and if you have decent Photoshop skills you can make any changes to the layout manually.
    If I had to put money on this I'd say that there is a problem with the PE9 Mac installation package. For some reason it is not deploying the layout data/files or it is not putting them in the right place. For this reason the program can't find the layouts when the user selects the greeting card guided edit.
    Good luck.
