PSE7 - Opening NEF Files Hangs

Hi, I'm new here so to you all.
I have upgraded to PSE7 and use a Nikon D300.
I use Nikon Transfer to down load my images.
PROBLEM:
If I try to open an NEF files for the first time in PSE7 (File>Open) PSE7 Hangs.
WORK AROUND:
I have set windows to use PSE7 to Open NEF files.
When I open the files in Windows Explorer PSE7 Starts up and Opens the files correctly in Camera 4.5.
After going through this process a .xmp file is created. I can then open the files in PSE7 using File>Open.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello!
Download and install the latest version of Camera Raw from the Adobe website, or better, through Help>Updates

Can't open NEF files in Adobe Bridge CS4

My camera is a Nikon D90 and I downloaded the Camera Raw.plugin Version 5.2. to open NEF files in Photoshop and Bridge from the CS4 collection. It works perfectly to open NEF files in Photohop but Bridge is not able to show the files. I cleared the cache already.
Does anybody know, what the problem could be?
Thanks for your help!

Maybe the plugin is in the wrong folder? It should be in the Common Files/Adobe folder tree, rather than the Adobe/Photoshop CS4 folder tree (where only Photoshop can see it). Also, make sure there's only one Camera Raw.8bi installed.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.

How to open NEF files in lightroom 4.4 ?

im using Lightroom v4.4 how can i open NEF files to edit ?

You have to update you LR 4.4 version to LR5.6. Since this version LR is able to open nef - files from Nikon's D810.
The other way is to convert the nef-files to dng.

How to open NEF files in PS 7.0 please

Hi I cannot open NEF files in PS 7.0. Any ideas please ?

You have photoshop 7 or photoshop elements 7?
Which operating system are you using?
What camera and model are the camera raw files from?
Unless the nikon nef files are from a very old camera, you can't open any camera raw files into photoshop 7.
And those old camera raw files required a pay for camera raw plugin (camera raw 1.0) from adobe that is no longer available.
There are several third party raw converters out there or you could upgrade (buy photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc 2014)
Also , there is adobe photoshop elements and adobe lightroom, both of which are cheaper than buying photoshop cs6.

Can't open NEF files from Nikon D90 in CS4.

I had to uninstall and reinstall PS CS4, now I am unable to open my NEF files. I've used CS4 for years and always been able to open NEF files. Any idea what is going on? Any suggestion? I'm computer illiterate so please keep any answers as simple as possible. Thanks

So your Camera Raw is not up-to-date.
The Nikon D90 was first supported in Camera Raw 5.1

and CS4 is compatible with Camera Raw up to version 5.7

If Help > Updates in CS4 still says you're up-to-date then try installing Camera Raw 5.7 manually

I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

I'm going back to cs4 after using cs6 and I can't open nef files in camera raw.

Each camera needs a specific camera raw version (ACR). And each ACR is tied to a specific version of PS. See this list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

Can't open .NEF files in photoshop or RAW. Help!

I was always able to open .NEF files in RAW when I had my old computer, but I just recently got a new computer and now I can't open them. Does anyone know how to change the settings so that I'm able to open these files in photoshop CS5 Extended/RAW?

Try installing Camera Raw 6.7.1 manually
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7.1 Update

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 can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7

I can't open NEF files of my Nikon D800 in PS CS 5.1 even though I have installed Camera Raw 6.7.
What's the problem?
Any solutions?
Thx!

The D800 is listed as needing ACR 6.7/7.1. That raises a red flag that might indicate that 7.1 is needed. Since that requires CS6 you can not use that version. If others confirm you need 7.1 you either have to upgrade or use the DNG converter with latest version, which I think is 8.1.

Can't open NEF file (Nikon Raw)

I don't have a problem opening NEF files in CS3 on my desktop Vista PC (32bit), but my new laptop with Windows 7 (64bit) won't open them, do I need to install a plugin or an update? If so, what? I searched the forum and I think that's what I need to do, but I'm a little confused about it.
Thanks,
Ray

You don't say which camera model. NEF files vary with different Nikons.
The Camera Raw plug-in installed by default by PS may not be up to date.
See: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
(Be aware that CS3 only supports up to ACR 4.6

Opening NEF files in Photoshop Elements 7

Will PE 7 open NEF files from Nikon D200, without additional plug-ins?
I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and Nikon View to transfer images.

>Will PE 7 open NEF files from Nikon D200, without additional plug-ins?
No.
You need the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in; download and install it and you'll be up and running in a few minutes.

After updating Camera Raw to 8.2.0.94 cannot open .NEF files

After updating my camera raw plugin today to 8.2.0.94, I can not open .NEF files from Nikon 7100
I receive "Could not complete your request because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered." error.
Photoshop CS 6, MacBook Pro OS 10.8.5

That error message usually, practically always points to a damaged or corrupt image file.
If you used Nikon software to copy the files to your Mac, be advised that said Nikon software is notorious for damaging files in the process. Use the Mac Finder or, better, Bridge to download your images.
A faulty card, a failing hard drive, a bad USB port or cable can also be the cause of damaged files.
I have never seen or heard of that error message being generated on a Mac by a faulty Camera Raw installation or anything other than a corrupted or damaged file.

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.
