Problem with NEF files from Nikon D4

Hi everyone. I find a problem with nef files from my Nikon D4. When files are open in ViewNX2 (free viewer software from Nikon) they are perfect, as shooted... but in ACR they are very different... I use LR4 or CS5 with ACR 6.7 and the difference seems to be linked at D-Lighting function. My impression is that ACR dont read this option and picture are very very dark that original shootings. Anyone have this problem?

This question used to be answered in the FAQ before they revised it.  So, here we go again.  ViewNX is capable of reading all of the in-camera settings such as, camera profile, saturation, sharpness and other settings.  It is capable of doing this because it is Nikon Software, and they have the ability to program it to read the settings from their raw images.  Lightroom does not read those settings from Nikon cameras or any other brand of camera.  Part of the reason is that different camera makers store those settings differently.
When I first started using Lightroom I adjusted one of my images that represented what I normally shoot until it looked the way I wanted it.  Then I saved those adjustments as my default settings for the camera.  From that point onward, whenever I import images those settings are automatically applied, and it takes care of the vast majority of my images.  Of course, I still have to make individual adjustments.  But my default settings greatly reduce the amount of how they work that I have to do.
Active D-lighting is is one of those features that Lightroom does not recognize.  You would be well advised not to use it, or else create a preset to simulate its effect.  It will provide no benefit to your Lightroom work.
This is a fundamental difference with Lightroom, and something that must be understood and implemented if you are going to use the program effectively.
I realize this question was asked in the ACR forum and I referenced Lightroom throughout.  But the principle is the same, and the recommended procedure is the same.

  • Problems with RAW files from Nikon D4

    At the moment I'm using LR 4.1 rc and PS CS 6 beta. I tried to send a D4 raw file from LR to PS, but PS didn't open it.
    The next thing I tried was to open D4 raws directly with PS CS 6, no success either.
    The raw files from my D200 aren't any problem.
    So is there knowledge wether PS CS 6 is supporting Nikon D4 RAWs or not? If it should be supported, what could be my problem?
    Thx in advance

    See this link for full details on camera support in Camera Raw versions:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2012/03/raw-support-in-lightroom-and-camera-raw.ht ml
    Snip taken from link above:
    You’ll also note that ACR7, available with Photoshop CS6 beta, is lagging the most in updated camera support.  This is based on when we lock down or “bake” the code for each release.   Even though ACR7 was only released last week it was “baked” before Lightroom 4.0 and Camera Raw 6.7.  Similarly, Lightroom 4.0 was finalized before Camera Raw 6.7.  We’ll get Lightroom and Camera Raw in sync soon but in the interim, here’s the latest incremental support list for each product, relative to Camera Raw 6.6 and Lightroom 3.6:
    Photoshop CS6 beta with ACR7
    Canon PowerShot S100V
    Fuji FinePix X-S1
    NOTE:
    ACR7.1 will have the superset of all currently supported cameras in ACR6.7 and LR4.1 plus a few extras.

  • Problem with nef files from my d5100 using cs4

    I have cs4 I also have a nikon d40 and I just bought a Nikoin D5100 I cannot see the nef pictures using bridge cs4 how do I fix?

    The DNG conversion in Bridge will only convert files that your version of Camera Raw already supports. You will need the latest version of the freestanding DNG converter program which is free and available from Adobe. I'm going to assume that you are Windows user. Here is the link to the Windows version of the program:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows
    You need to download the program and install it and run the program. It is not a plug-in, and it is not part of Photoshop, Bridge, or Lightroom.
    Just one word of advice. When you start the DNG converter you will be prompted to choose a FOLDER containing raw files. Be sure to just choose the folder, but don't open it. If you open the folder the DNG converter will tell you that there are no compatible files. If you want to convert  just a single file, drag/drop that file onto the icon for the DNG converter. The program will start, and the conversion will take place.
    Incidentally, I am 70 years old, and on the verge of retirement myself. I understand your situation completely. If you have any further questions about how to use the DNG converter, or whatever, feel free to ask. There are a bunch of very helpful people here who can get you through just about any problem.

    How do I update Adobe Bridge CS4 so that I can view NEF files?
    Unfortunately, you don't. Bridge can never be updated again once a new version of Creative Suite comes out, so bridge CS4 can't be updated past where it was back when CS5 came out. There is no way to make bridge CS4 see the raw files for the D7100, I'm afraid.

  • Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software?

    Hello,
    Noticed that my NEF files from Nikon D7000 camera are noticeably different in LT4 vs Nikon software. Read where folks are adjusting setting in LR4 for Nikon camera, but need help in how please. Also, perhaps there is a better way?
    thanks,

    There is now another way, dunno if you'll consider it better or not :
    ISO Detailer now has infrastructure for supporting camera settings emulation.
    Implemented so far (Nikon only):
    * Picture Control Name (e.g. Neutral, Vivid, ... ) -> Camera Calibration Profile.
    * Active D-Lighting -> Lr basic adjustments.
    If you want other stuff, you'll have to come up with it yourself, by editing a table in lua text format (or supply the information for me to do it).
    Reminder: Ottomanic Importer can do this emulation during import, ISO Detailer is for doing it after import.

  • Problems loading raw files from Nikon D750 to lightroom4

    problems loading raw files from Nikon D750 to lightroom4. Any thoughts?

    This is a recently produced model so raw support was only added in LR 5.7 / ACR 8.7, updates to LR 4 ceased about two years ago when LR 5 was issued.
    Options a.) Upgrade to LR 5.
    b.) Utilize the latest Adobe DNG Converter 8.8 to convert the nef files to dng format then you will be able to import the dng files into LR 4.
