PSE8/ACR won't show Nikon D7000 NEF files

Just got my Nikon D7000, but now it turns out, that PSE8/
ACR can't show the NEF files from the camera! What to do?

The Nikon D7000 will be supported by ACR 6.3, which should be released soon. It is already available in Adobe Labs as RC, which will probably only work with Photoshop CS.

LR/ACR color mismatch with Nikon D7000 NEF files

I recently purchased the Nikon D7000. The NEF RAW files are not supported in current versions of LR and CS5.
Downloaded and installed LR 3.3RC. Also downloaded and installed ACR 6.3R1.
Both work with the D7000 NEF-files with ONE exception. If I shoot a "Multiple Exposure" (one feature of the D7000) the resulting image in both LR and ACR displays in strong "pink"/magenta. All other images display correctly.
If I open the pink images in Nikon Capture NX2 2.2.6 they open correctly.
If I use the White Balance tool (pipette) in LR, I can bring the image back to "almost normal" but the WB values then are Temp: 2150, Tint: -138. Conclusion: the Multi Exposure Image from the D7000 is completely mismatched by LR/ACR. But they are correctly matched by Capture NX2.
This obviously needs to be corrected before final release.
Has anyone else expreienced the same? Is there a workaround?

Can you please supply some sample .NEF images? You can use YouSendIt.com with a target email address of [email protected] Thanks.

CS4 will not open Nikon D7000 NEF files; Is there a DNC that will open them?

I have CS4 and Light Room 2
Apparently there is no Camera Raw update for the new Nikon D7000 NEF files for CS4.
I therefore down loaded the Adobe Digital Negative Converter Verson 6.3.0.79 which is compatible with Camera Raw 5.4 or later.
Using that DNC, when I do step 1, "Select the images to convert" I get the message "No items match your search". It apparently is not recongnizing the D7000 NEF files.
Is there another DNC that will open and convert the D7000 NEF files?

I just bought the d7000 yesterday and was experiencing the same issue with cs4. I downloaded the DNG converter from adobe and selected the whole folder where the raw files were located (I was unable to select individual images) and it worked fine. It processed the files one by one with new name (without the $500 CS5 pricetag for now). The DNG files open in bridge and psd. Perhaps try selecting the folder? Good luck.

IMac won't show Nikon D800 NEF image files.

Nikon D800 NEF files will transfer from my Nikon D800 to my iMac. They will show as a "list" in the folder that I transfer them to. They will not show as thumbnails, nor open with "image preview". Tiff and JPEGs will transfer and show as thumbnails and open with all my processing programs. The NEF's will also not open in Adobe Lightroom. I need to be able to see the thumbnails on my iMac. Everything worked until I installed Snow Leopard.
I have:
Photoshop CS6 13.0 64 bit
Camera Raw 7.1.0.354
Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8
Nikon View NX2 2.3.0
Nikon Transfer 2 Vers. 2.3.1

How to open Nikon D7000 NEF Files in Photoshop CS3

i have installed the 4.6 camera raw update but it does not recognise the D7000 NEF Files... same for Bridge. what can i do to view files directly in CS3?

Every camera model must be profiled and specifically supported, and Adobe only updates the current version of Photoshop when they add support for each new camera. You should upgrade your tools just like you upgraded your camera.
None of your new camera's NEF files should be viewable by CS3-vintage components, but all of your DNGs should be viewable by such, and if some aren't, then it sounds like your files may be getting corrupted on their way from the camera to the computer. Are you using a cable to the camera or are you using a card-reader to access the images? Using a card reader is preferable. Some cameras have different modes their USB-connection can be in and something other than mass-storage mode can lead to problems. I don't have a Nikon so am not sure of things more specifically, but if you can use a card-reader and just use Windows Explorer to copy the images that would probably be the best thing. If you have a new memory card that could also be something to look at.

PSCS3 won't open Nikon D7000 RAW files

I just purchased a Nikon D7000. Shot some RAW files and tried to download to iPhoto, not possible. SO, installed Nikon VIEW NX2, and Transfer 2. RAW images downloaded to my computer (late 2008 Macbook Pro, Leopard 10.5.8, Camera RAW plug-in 6) into ViEW 2. But showing the followiing format: _DSC001.NEF
Normally, it should read: DSC_001.NEF
SO within the Nikon software, I can work on the image, but I cannot export it into PS. It comes up with an error that the image format is unreadable. (Nor can I find how to get it out of VIEW NX2 , but that might just be my lack of reading all the info there, will see)
I contacted Nikon and they told me to change something in Image Capture in my MAC apps. I went there, but Image Capture was already set to the change they asked me to do.
I tried to download again, but same problem. I tried to download into iPhoto, in order to try and get it into PS, but it wouldn't. All files were unreadable.
JPEG, however, does download, with both file formats, and opensin iPhoto and PS, whether there is a _ first or a letter first.
SO, I don't know what to do. I am assuming all my plug-in's are up to date.
My D70 RAW transfers fine!!! The D7000, not.
Any info out there??? Nikon has not replied back a second time when I responded to them.
Thank you for any help. I welcome it all.

Thanks, all of you.
I downloaded Adobe Camera Raw DNG 6.4 (Not 7.1 as I read it worked slow and had some bugs still in it) and backcomplied it to open in a 4.6 format. It works to open RAW in my PSCS3 now. Great! Of course I definitely will be checking out PSCS6 Extended for an upgrade, but for now, I can use this.
I have 3 questions that I am not clear on.
1) When I converted, I included the 'original raw file' within the DNG, as opposed to NOT incuding it. They say you can open it later, that it is inside the DNG. Please someone explain to me how this can be when I am adjusting and cropping my files after opening in RAW.? (OK I know nothing about this). Where do I find the file???
2) I did notice a little bit of color loss, or maybe it is in the Adobe 1998 color space, but it seemed to transfer fine. Is this the case?
3) If I save in Tiff, would the embedded file still be in the DNG ??It would no longer be a DNG file. I am asuming that I SHOULD be saving an original conversion in DNG for archives and to make copies from. I really do not understand this. I am saving the original NEF file in the Nikon VIEW NX2 for later use as a backup.
Thank you again.

Elements 9 won't open Nikon D7100 NEF files

I recently upgraded from a Nikon 7000 to a Nikon D7100 DSLR camera. Historically I was able to open and process NEF files in Photoshop Elements 9 from my D7000. But now it will not open those files. I clicked on the Help/Update link and it says my version is fully updated. What do I have to do to be able to open these NEF files as I did before with those files from my D7000?
Thanks...RDK

Support for the D7100 was added to ACR 7.4 so you'll need PSE11 or later to open them directly. You can either use the Nikon software to convert them or the free Adobe DNG converter to convert them to DNG files that PSE9 can open.

Nikon D7000 .nef files

I have a Nikon D7000 camera which creates raw files - .nef and my version of CS5 is not able to open them directly. Does the latest version of CS5 resolve this problem?

I'm in the same boat here. What I've done so far is to use Adobe DNG Converter (free) to convert the NEF to DNG. Then drag the folder with the DNG files into iPhoto.
With another batch of files I converted to DNG, then did the sorting and editing in Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw. Then converted the whole bunch to jpg and imported them into iPhoto. I also imported only the highest rated DNG images. (Note that any Camera Raw processing will not be used by iPhoto, but it remains in the DNG file)

Nikon D7000 .NEF files are not opening

I am a new, lucky owner of the Nikon D7000 but, sadly, am unable to open my RAW (.NEF) files in iPhoto -- I am told that the files are an "Unreadable" format.
Now, while I may use the Nikon software provided, I would much rather use iPhoto for my editing.
Is there anything I might be able to do -- drivers, codecs (?) -- to get this opening?

How can I edit a Nikon D7000 .nef file using Photoshop Element 8?

In order to read and edit a picture taken in RAW format by a Nikon D7000, using Photoshop Element 8, what should I do? Any plug in that I should download?

The D7000 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 which is compatible with Elements 9 or later

Either upgrade to Elements 12 or use the Adobe DNG converter to convert D7000 Raw files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Elements 8.

Lr5 won't import nikon 5200 nef files.

My Lightroom 5 doesn't import my Nikon D5200 raw files.

LR 4.3 or higher will open D5200 NEFs if nothing is wrong with them. Since LR 5 is having problems, the files are likely corrupted.
The most common problem is that older Nikon software Transfer/ViewNX was used to work with these newer files and the obsolete software has changed something in the files that makes them unrecognizable to Adobe products.
First test with an NEF that you copy directly from the memory card to the hard-drive of your computer without using or touching it with any Nikon products. If this works then you’ve likely found the source of the problem, and either install Nikon products that are at least as new as your camera or stop using Nikon products with raws from your newer camera.
The corruption to already corrupted files can be reversed using a utility from here:

How can I import Nikon D7000 NEF files into Elements 9 on MAC Book Air ?

I have downloaded the DNG 6.5 converter as suggested, but the NEF files appear in Elements 9 as blank grey boxes. These NEF files open in the same Elements 9 on my PC with Windows 7.

Thank you for your reply. I have tried the update as suggested. A complete failure.
Rebooted the computer many times and each attempt says that the update failed.
Checked my registration for multiple computers - all okay.
This is completely frustrating...

Opening Nikon D7000 raw files in Elements 8

I am unable to open Nikon D7000 NEF files in Elements 8. I have been unsuccessfull in downloading the version 5.7 update from the web site. After downloading several times the files are still not recognized in Elements 8.

I am using Windows 7. I tried selecting the folder that contained the folder holding the pictures to be converted. I then single-clicked the folder holding the pictures and hit select. A message came up stating that the source folder did not contain any supported camera raw files.I have spoken with my Elements software supplier and this is his response:
"I've done some digging and it turns out the Nikon D7000 wasn't supported in elements until the release of version 6.4 Adobe Camera Reader.So to make sure you have the latest ACR update installed. You can check which one you have by going into elements and clicking Help>About Plug-In>Camera Raw. And if it's not 6.7 then Help>Updates will find it and let you install the latest version. You could also try saving your camera files as .RAW instead of .NEF, and then opening them in elements. Adobe lightroom 4 should already have these plugins available right outside the box, but if you can save the money and run updates instead that would work just fine." I have checked for Elements updates for the Camera Raw plug-in and the message appears stating no updates are available. The camer raw plug-in version is currently 6.1.0.250.

What operating system are you using?
The most common cause is pointing the dng converter to the actual files and not just to the folder that the camera raw files are in.
There is an example of how on a windows system in this thread:

HELP! iMac won't show my Nikon D800 NEF files.

Nikon D800 NEF files will transfer from my Nikon D800 to my iMac, but they will show only as a "list" in the folder that I transfer them to.

But I need to be able to see the NEF thumbnails on my iMac. The NEF's will also not open in Adobe Lightroom. Image files will open with Camera Raw and Photoshop CS6 even though they don't show as thumbnails. Everything worked until I installed Snow Leopard.

The same comments I gave for the D750 apply to the D5100 because both cameras are newer than what the maximum ACR 4.x version you can update PS CS3 to.

Not wrong?
Let us have a look at the error message:
"The following files were not imported because they could not be read"
This clearly gives the user the impression that there is a reading error where you want to copy the files from. Is that the actual error?
No, the actual error is that the file could not be written at the destination.
It is possible that it is not factually wrong because Lightroom first make a failed copying attempt without giving an error message, then still assumes that the files have been copied and tries to import them, and THEN makes a failed import attempt from the destination and gives the error message. But that would never be anyone's first guess when they experience that error message.
A much better error message would be: "The following files were not imported because they could not be copied to the destination folder."
