  • Opening Nikon D600 NEF files using PhotoShop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213

    Hello,
    I've just bought a Nikon D600.
    I have Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 and ACR 5.7.0.213. 
    With these versions, I'm unable to open the D600 NEF files.  I get the following message:
    "Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
    Yet I can view the NEFs in other software that pre-dates the D600, e.g. FastStone Image Viewer 4.6.
    Does anybody know if I can get a plug-in from Adobe for PS CS4 that allows me to edit D600 NEFs?
    Many thanks for any help.
    Regards,
    Aisling

    Either upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or download the free DNG Converter and covert your NEFs to DNG.

  • Can no longer save Nikon .NEF files in Photoshop cc 2014

    Hi
    I am hoping someone can help.   I was using a PC running Windows 7 64-bit and using LR, PS and Bridge to sort and edit Nikon files. This worked fine up to November of last year when I lost PC etc due to house fire.
    In the interim period I've been using a laptop running Windows 8.1 with the latest Adobe Cloud apps installed.  However, now I find that when a .NEF file is opened in Photoshop and you try and save it back out, the only option is for PSD or JPG or Photoshop's version of RAW.
    The troubleshooting I have done so far:
    Taken all applications off and reinstalled them.
    Downloaded separately and installed the latest RAW updates
    I did recently purchase a Nikon D800 and assumed it might be an issue with that but it doesn't save out those from D80, D90 and P7000 all of  which I KNOW for fact were fine before.  I'm suspecting something missing from the installation but at a loss as to what.
    Thanks

    I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
    Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
    You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
    All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

  • Unable to uninstall Photoshop CS4 please help

    When I try
    to uninstall (does not work) the trial version of PCS4 from Contr
    ol Panel (Windows 7) it says
    SYSTEM CHECK
    Critical errors were found in set up for Adobe Photoshop CS4
    The installer database is invalid: please re-install the product from the original media.
    Please see the setup log file for detail.
    OK, first I tried to see the set up log and for that I downloaded the Adobe Support Advisor. When I was installing it I got a message
    "This application requires a version of Adobe AIR which cannot be found. Please download the latest version of the Adobe AIR from www.adobe.com/go/getair or contact the application author for an updated version.
    And the AIR could not be downloaded because of some " Critical Error"! To be exact it says It may not be allowed by your Administrator. The trick is that I am logged as an admin all the time!
    I wasted a lotta time for nothing and feel very frustrated! It looks like I will have to re-install Windows 7, because Restore Pointes are not saved.
    So boring....
    Tried to clean script -  downloaded a program - it won't work
    Any suggestions maybe?

    Wow. It sounds like you have a hosed installation of the trial. Also, it sounds like there are some other problems with the system.
    Now, there are utilities to remove programs. CleanSweep (last by Symantec) was one, but there must be more. One could let such a utility scan their system, then use it to remove the program. At that time, I'd run the Adobe Clean Script CS4 and then a Registry cleaner, like CCleaner.
    Good luck, and I think that you have some more troubleshooting ahead of you to fix other issues.

  • Can't convert Canon CR2 RAW files to photoshop CS2- please help!

    I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT and am using Photoshop CS2 and can not open my Raw images. Canon saves the images as a CS2 file. I guess needs converting.. Please Help!!

    Daag Kees,
    >[Kees] DNG converter 4_3_1 don't convert my raw Leica M8- images to digital negatives files that will open in Photoshop CS 8.0.1. (Camera raw 2.0).
    Of course not. You need ACR (Camera Raw) version 2.4. Version 2.0 does NOT support DNGs.
    After you correctly install ACR 2.4 according to the instructions on the download page and after you relaunch Photoshop, you need to Purge the Cache for each folder.
    >[Michael] Simply run the DNG converter and point it at your M8 raw files and they will be converted to DNG.
    Nope. Point the DNG Converter to a folder containing RAW files, not to the raw files themselves. The DNG Converter works on Folders containing raw files, not on individual files.
    >What means "using Bridge" ?
    Forget that. It does NOT apply to Photoshop 8.x. In CS3, you can have ACR hosted either by Photoshop or by Bridge. Photoshop 8.x doesn't even have Bridge.
    Prettige Kerstdagen!

  • Photoshop CS4+ please help download

    I need to edit a resume template I purchased thats saved as a PSD file. I downloaded photoshop CC but I was told I needed CS4  to edit the resume text. Can someone please tell me what is CS4 and how can I download it? Is it an extension of Photoshop CC? I'm so confused and I need to send resume TODAY :-(
    Thanks!!!!
    Cat

    photoshop (ps) cs4 is an older version of the current photoshop (cc 2014).
    that ps cs4 version should be editable in ps cc so i'm not sure it will help you to download ps cs4, but the link is below.  further, it doesn't make sense that a resume template would be a psd file.  it makes more sense that it would be a pdf file and you need adobe acrobat.

  • Problem viewing MBP when connected to a TV, please help...

    Hello,
    Thanks for taking the time to read this...
    I've connected my MBP to my TV via a display adaptor/HDMI lead and all works fine and looks great...
    The problem I have is that if I want to watch a DVD through my TV, I'd like to close the MBP so as I am not distracted by having it on 2 screens. However when I do so I lose the picture and am just left with audio.
    Is there a way I can close the MBP yet still be able to view it on the TV? I use Front Row and a remote as well.
    Hope someone can help...
    Thanks
    Mark

    Try setting up screen sharing between your iMac and your MBP. You should then be able to see if the screen is going black because the MBP is switching to some incompatible format with the TV when the lid is down.
    You will also be able to control the MBP from the iMac, meaning you can go into Displays Preferences on the MBP from the iMac and set the resolution setting back to what it needs to be to get the TV working.
    You'll only have to do that once. The setting will be remembered from that point on meaning the issue should be gone.

  • Camera RAW unable to read Nikon NEF files from D3X

    I have just purchased a Nikon D3X and unable to open the Nikon NEF files with Photoshop
    Mac OSX10.4 Photoshop CS4
    I contacted Nikon support & was advised to instal ACR 5.2
    downloaded the update Camera RAW v5.2 and installed as instructed after removing old plug in & clearing cache. Still wont open NEF files
    I note on the Nikon website that the cameras supported by Camera RAW include D3 but not D3X

    >Mac OSX10.4
    Make certain that is OS 10.4.11.
    >contacted Nikon support & was advised to install ACR 5.2
    Some support!
    As Jao said, you need ACR 5.3.

  • Problems opening & resaving NEF files with CS3/CS2

    I seem to be having problems sending my NEF files to Photoshop from Aperture. This started happening just today & I'm not sure what to do.
    What happens is that when I open a NEF file in external editor, instead of just opening up as a psd file in CS3 or CS2 directly like it used to do, it now opens Adobe Raw instead which means that I am unable to resave back into my Aperture Library. Is there anyone who has experienced this as well? Any suggetions as to the cause and a solution? I tried checking preferences for both Aperture as well as Photoshop but nothing seems to work.
    The only thing I can think of is having just updated Adobe Raw to the latest version, 4.3 I think. Other than that Aperture did start up about a week ago & declared my library corrupt & proceeded to rebuild my library. Other than that it was behaving normally until today. Its really irritating & counter productive to be unable to resave my edits in Aperture.
    Any help or suggestions will be very welcome indeed. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the tip Eduardo, but I checked the preferences and they seem to be correct.
    It seems that only images in certain projects were affected. Could be the ones that Aperture rebuilt earlier. I guess I may have to try exporting the raw files from the affected projects, then deleting and reimporting the projects again. I did try to rebuild the thumbnails but it doesn't seem to help.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions for me to try before I do this?

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.
    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

  • I have Photoshop CS5.5 Design Premium and need to open Nikon NEF files

    I have Photoshop CS5.5 Design Premium and need to open Nikon NEF files.
    I just downloaded the plug in for CS5.5 and it does not work. I put the Camera Raw.8bi file in the correct location as specifiec in the "read me" file.
    Can someone guide me on how to do this, adn make it work?
    Thank you.

    so far no luck.
    I ran DNG program for Windows (I have Win 8) and ran the menu to convert
    the files on the same memory card from the camera.   Of 135 files, the
    status column for the first 68 files said "converted," but the for all the
    rest, it says "There was an error writing the file."
    Of the files that "converted," they do not open, and I get the same error
    message as before: "Could not complete your request because it is not the
    right kind of document."
    So, what a mess.
    I get conflicting indications of the version of Photoshop I have. When i
    click "About Photoshop in the Help menu, it says CS5 Extended.    The Error
    message for the dng files says CS5.1 Extended.  Does it make a difference?
    I've been at this three hours now.  It's a pain.   For many years I had no
    problem with NEF files, as I had installed the plug-in as required. This
    time it is not working. So I am not new to this.

  • Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 from my new Nikon D800 camera.

    That's it, I Cannot open my NEF files in Photoshop CS6 Camera Raw from my new Nikon D800 camera. What am I doing wrong or what is wrong? I have the plug-in Camera Raw 7. and can open TIFF files but not the NEF files.
    Peace,
    Charles Fennen

    Hi ssprengel,
    to explain the scenario, i am basically a D7000 user and I do post production with Windows computer. But for an assignment I have hired D800, they have provided me their SD memory card. I have used the same memory card while shooting.
    I have transferred the NEF files from the camera using Nikon software. The transfer was successful but i am not able to open the Raw NEF file with ACR. Even my plugins are updated till date.
    The NEF thumbnails are having small lock logo in the bottom left corner. I do not know what does that mean. Like this.
    Kindly let me know what would be the prob? if my RAW files are corrupted kindly let me know how will I recover them?
    Thank you.

  • Nikon NEF Files will not Open in Photoshop CS2

    In OS Leopard w/Aperture 2, there was never a problem opening RAW .NEF Files.
    Now with Snow Leopard and Aperture 3...I get a message that the format is unrecognizable.
    My system and PS2 are fully updated to current versions.
    Thank in advance for any help.

    Ernie,
    You are correct in the RAW decoding engine used in Camera Raw (would be version 3.x in the CS2).
    As you know, Adobe Camera Raw is included with each new release of Photoshop since CS came about. However, they generally only update the current version of ACR for new camera models.
    The work-around (Adobe solution) for using older versions of ACR / PS is to convert the RAW files to DNG files using their free Adobe DNG converter, which allows compatibility for newer camera models (same solution offered to many with new unsupported cameras in Aperture).
    Not sure whether this is the problem for the OP though, as the opening sentence indicates successful use with AP2 and 10.5?
    Note - not sure what Adobe will do overall with Lightroom updates as they have been offering those at the same time as the ACR updates. LR3 and CS5 should clear some of this up.

  • 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)
