PS CS4 and Nikon D800E

I am unable to downlode images from the D800e to PS CS4 or LR 2.7. It tells me the file is not recognized? I use a Duel Mac pro G4. My wife just got a Macbook pro Operating OS9 and has LR 5. The files downlode fine for lightroom but not PS. What is preventing PS from recognizing the files from the D800? Is there a fix? Is there a plug-in that could fix the problem? Do I have to buy a new computer?  

The DNG converter is a standalone application, separate from and independent of Photoshop/ACR/LR.
It converts your D800 NEFs to the universal DNG format, which can be opened by an older ACR/LR version that doesn't have native support for the camera. DNG is still raw, and there's no data loss.
That said, your D800 is a fantastic camera that really deserves the new raw conversion engine from ACR 7/LR 4 and onwards (process version 2012). The improvement is dramatic, especially in highlights and overall dynamic range. Compare the results for yourself to what's possible with Lr 5 on your wife's MBP.  Yes, I know, it's a never-ending race to upgrade this, then that...it never stops

  • Please go on and Nikon D800E Support

    With my first message here I want to encourage the developers of Apple Aperture:
    Please go on making Aperture even better.
    Aperture was my reason to switch to Mac. This was exactly 5 years before in April 2007 and I never ever regretted this big step. Aperture was a great tool and it remains a great tool. Being a professional photographer I passed during these 5 years about 750.000 images through Aperture and keep about 100.000 in my main database. All works without any big problem for these 5 years now. I love its perfect control layout for quick and precise work with big amounts of files. For me it is a perfect solution.
    All main upgrades brought huge improvements. So please: Dear Apple Aperture developers, give us an Aperture 4.0 - we all wait for it. No need to hurry from my perspective. But I would love to be amazed by new features. My most missed tool is an automated lens corrections. For me this is the only real advantage of lightroom or DXO. For me the biggest step would be an integration of the DXO lens correction itself or the ptlens engine.
    Okay and now one urgent petition:
    Please add RAW support for the Nikon D800E quickly. This camera is the ultimate tool. The best camera I ever owned. Far ahead each other camera except the D800. The E is somehow exotic because of the lack of the anti-aliasing filter, but believe me: Many many professionals will buy it and many many amateur landscape photographers.
    Thank you

    I'd be quite surprised is Apple doesn't soon add the D800/e to the list of compatible cameras, but, of course, I don't know.  I do know that if you want to have a chance of having your request heard by Apple, you must use the channel Apple provides for feedback:  "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
    Enjoy your camera  .  And the 450-page printed manual.  Yikes.

  • ACR and Nikon D800e Raw files

    This discussion is actually a follow on to an earlier one where I thought the issue was resolved. I am using CS5 extended 64 bit with WIN 7 64bit and ACR version 6.7. I verified the ACR version checking for updates and was informed I am up to date. According to the ADOBE help site ACR v 6.7 is available to open Nikon D800e raw files. However when I try and open these raw files there is a message that the camera model is not supported. Any help on why the raw files cannot be opened with ACR 6.7 is appreciated.

    Thanks Noel - after several hours of experimenting,  I found the issue. I use a stand a lone software, Nikon Transfer, to download images to the computer. The software allows me to preview/select,  rename, and make simultaneous copies for backup. This software has worked without issue, however when downloading images from the Nikon D800e, it does something to the raw files making them incompatible with ADOBE's ACR and even Nikon's ViewNX 2 software. Now here is the real curosity. When Nikon Transfer is initiated from within Nikon View2 software and not as a stand a lone, it works, and ADOBE ACR 6.7 can read the raw files. Again thanks for the help.

  • Camera Raw Version 5.7 and Nikon D800E

    Hi everyone,  So with my new Nikon camera (D800E), I now realize that I can do nothing in CS4 with my RAW files. As my current version of Camera Raw is only 5.7 for it. Will I have to upgrade my version to at least CS5 with ACR 6.7 minimum? Maybe go with CS6?  Regards,  Jason Gaughan

    The reason you can’t read the D800E raws in an old ACR plug-in is because that old ACR plug-in doesn’t know the camera parameters that are embedded in the raw converter.  What the DNG Converter does is takes the original raw data and adds the Adobe-camera parameters and packages everything in a DNG file per the DNG standard.  That DNG contains the raw data plus enough information for older ACR plug-ins to convert the data, as long as you set the compatibility options in the DNG Converter to create the DNG for that age of plug-in.
    If you don’t delete your original files, then yes, the DNG Converter will create files that are also relatively similar in size to the NEFs, although they could be smaller or larger depending on what size of preview you embed an if the NEF compression is better than the DNG compression.
    Lightroom is good.  Check out the LR 5.2 update and run in 30-day trial mode to make sure it is compatible with your computer.  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    You can always do Edit in Elements with LR Adjustments from within LR to get the file over into PSE for the final edits.

  • Photoshop CS4 and Nikon .NEF files

    I just downloaded Photoshop CS4 for a trial basis. I use 2 nikon cameras and 1 Canon and shot is RAW format. The RAW file extensions are .NEF and .CS2. I had the understanding Photoshop had no problem reading these file formats (through ACR). However, I am not able to access photos under the .nef format. How do I access files under .nef?
    Thanks

    It reads it fine and I believe CS 3 does as well.
    Perhpas there is a trial of Light room which users the same engine as ACR but has more organizing features. And the spotting tool works better.
    But I assure you that ACR reads nef what camera do you have? Is it a recent release?

  • Bridge CS4 and Nikon 7100 raw files

    Well, I use normally Bridge CS4 (that was included in Elements 8) to organize my pics and to edit or open in camera raw of Elements 11. I normaly shot in raw format with my Nikon d90. Now I shoted some pics with the new Nikon D7100 and I can't use Bridge CS4. I tried to update but Bridge doesn't work. So now I'm obliged to use Elements 11 organiser. Any possibiity to update Bridge CS4?

    Adobe products use Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) in various ways.  Adobe does not work at, or promise, ACR will work in older or legacy versions of anything.  Your 7100 is a brand new model and included in ACR 7.4 and 8.0.  Whatever Adobe products you use will have to be upgraded to the latest ACR.  With PSE and organizer 11, you have to install it and upgrade with Help > Updates to get 7.4.
    It amazes me that people will invest so much in a new camera and its new features without giving any thought to the software they use to support the new camera and features. 

  • Problem with JPGs Downlaoded with Nikon Transfer - Can't Apply Develop Settings in Bridge CS4 and ACR 5.3 Settings Don't Stick

    I have found what I believe is a "problem" with JPGs downloaded using Nikon Transfer (ver 1.4.1) and processing same in Adobe Bridge CS4 (Develop Settings) and/or Adobe Camera Raw 5.3 (Photoshop CS4 and Elements 6 as hosts).
    Anyone using these programs in their workflow?
    The problem, quite simply, is that neither ACR settings (nor Bridge CS4 Develop Settings) "stick" when applied to JPGs that have been downloaded via Nikon Transfer ver 1.4.1.
    The same images from the same cameras (D300 and D90), downloaded moments later using Nikon's predecessor software PictureProject work just fine in both Bridge and ACR.  Develop Settings appled in Bridge immediately are seen, and JPGs opened in ACR, and settings applied, then "Done" immediately stick and are reflected in Bridge.
    If someone else is processing their JPGs in this manner, please let me know, as I have reported the problem to both Nikon and Adobe, and although I have tested it on two different cameras and two differnt laptops, I would like to get an impartial result as well.
    One other test, the problem does not seem to affect Nikon's RAW (NEF) format files downloaded from a D2x using Nikon Transfer.  More/different test are forthcoming.
    Thanks

    Can't say one way or another on that statement about using manufacturers' software.  Since Adobe has to interpret each camera models' RAW format having the latest ACR seems to be the best option.  But if the manufacturers' software is more convenient, and you get the same results then use it.  But it does appear you are not getting what you want, so suggest you try a duplicate test run with images straight from the card reader to Bridge and see if you still have same problems.
    I do know it is widely recommended that using a quality card reader gives you more reliable data than getting the pictures straight from the camera.  Does not seem intuitive, but that has been experience of many.

  • I have cs5 for windows and can´t use camera raw (6.5) with nikon d800e

    I have photoshop cs5 and can´t use camera raw (6.5) for nikon d800e.

    You will need to update to the latest ACR ver 6.7.1 for Photoshop cs5.
    If you  go to Photoshop's Help menu > Updates..., it should be available for download.

  • Why do my raw images (fr Nikon d800e) show up bright for 1 second and then darken in Aperture?

    I'm new to this site so I apologize for the long question.  When I import raw files from my Nikon D800e into Aperture (3.2.3), they show up bright for one second and then darken slightly.  Is this normal?  It didn't happen with raw files from my Nikon D300.  I have to adjust the brightness and exposure to make them bright again.  thanks, Mike

    One of the changes in Aperture 3 as it has evolved, is to first use the Preview generated by the camera.  It waits to generate its own Preview until you actually click to display that one image.  Until then the thumbnails are based upon the camera provided JPEG Preview.
    In earlier versions, you never saw that, but only the initial Preview generated in Aperture.  It is not because of the different camera.
    Btw, if you are using 10.8.2, why have you not updated to Aperture 3.4.3?

  • Lightroom 5.3 Upright Not Working w/ Nikon D800E and 70-200 f/2.8 VRII Lens

    When I apply upright it just tilts all of my images about 20 degrees counter-clockwise and crops them down a good bit. It does the exact sam thing on every image. Reanalyze does nothing at all. It was working fine. Can anyone replicate this to confirm a bug?
    Camera Body: Nikon D800E

  • Nikon D800e and Lightroom 4.1?

    When can we expect the Nikon D800e to be able to capture via direct tether in lightroom 4.1?

    About the only answer you will get for that question here is that if it is ever available it will be available when it is.  Adobe doesn't make announcements about those features ahead of time.  And, not all cameras have support for tethered shooting in Lightroom.  So now it becomes a matter of IF it is provided it will be provided when it is.

  • Edit in Photoshop CS6 doesn't work with Nikon D800E NEF files in LR 4.1 RC

    The "Edit in Photoshop CS6" menu item or shortcut (cmd+e) doesn't work for NEF files from a Nikon D800E in Lightroom 4.1 RC.  What happens is that LR looks like it goes through all its normal paces, and launches Photoshop, and the CPU spins, but then nothing happens in Photoshop, the image never opens.
    This works fine for NEF files from other cameras.

    Set up CS6 as an secondary editor, and then it will use LR's built-in ACR to process the files, instead of the external ACR with CS6. The external ACR 6.7 also processes D800, just not ACR 7 just yet.

  • How to open Nikon D800E Raw files in PSE9? [was:Gad, what next?]

    I'm not a beginner, but after installing and upgrading Photoshop Elements 9, I find it cannot recognize RAW files from Nikon D800E. Either don't load, or load just noise, no picture. Suggestions -- I hope?

    Moved from Photoshop for Beginners forum to Photoshop Elements forum
    The D800E was first supported in Camera Raw 6.7
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    which is only compatible with PSE10 or later
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    You can either upgrade to PSE12 to open and read Raw files in PSE
    or download the free DNG converter, convert all D800E Raw files to DNGs then open and edit the DNGs in PSE9
