Reading D7000 NEF files

I have recently bought a Nikon D7000 and last night tried to read the NEF files which I downloaded from the camera on my PC (Vista). I use PSE8 which, I have learned via these forums, does not support my camera's RAW format. The advice was to use Abode DNG Converter to convert the NEF files into DNG format. I tried this but when I start the DNG Converter application and point it at the folder containing the NEF files, the application doesn't find any suitable files in the directory. I had previously installed Abode Raw Converter 6.2 for PSE8.
I had understood that DNG Converter was a standalone programme is there any reason for me not being able to see the NEF files ??
Thanks for any help

The advice to check to ensure you're using DNG 6.4 is good, but also keep in mind that the DNG user interface allows you to select a FOLDER, and it won't show you any files in that folder.  A lot of people misinterpret this as the converter not being able to recognize their camera's files.
Once you've selected the folder, just go ahead and run the conversion.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I recently purchased a Mac 0S X 10.6.6 which was an upgrade from the Mac OS 1.4.1.1  I downloaded the adobe ph otoshop CS2 which I had on my old computer and now it cannot read my NEF files.  Which is a RAW file from my Nikon.  Can anyone help...please?

    I recently purchased a Mac OS X 10.6.6 which was an upgrade from my Mac OS version 10.4.1.1  I downloaded the Adobe Photoshop CS2 which I had on my old computer and now it cannot read my NEF files which is a RAW file from my Nikon D200.  I did not have this problem on my old Mac.  I always shoot RAW and can't open any photos.  Can anyone help me PLEASE?!? 

    Do you have access to another Mac to see if the disk can be read by it?  If it can't then you're pretty sure it's the disk. If it can then there may be issues with your optical drive which might be cleared up by using a cleaning disk on it, one that uses dry brushes (no liquid).
    If you have access to another Mac and it can read the iWork disk make a disk image of it so you can move the disk image to your iMac and install from the disk image.

  • Camera raw does not read D7100 nef files [was:Ernied]

    Camera raw does not read d7100 nef files. did update...still no success.

    I suspect that the DNG converter will work for you if you use it properly. It isn't your fault, but Adobe has created a kind of a silly interface in the DNG converter. Notice that it is asking you for the folder. When you are browsing for a location within the DNG converter, choose the folder, but don't open the folder. If you do then the DNG converter will tell you there are no images to convert. If you choose the folder then the DNG converter will convert all the files within that folder.

  • 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?

    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)

  • LR 4 and d7000 NEF files

    I am unable to import NEF files from a d7000 into LR 4.3, but can import them into LR 3.6 without issue.  What do I need to change in LR 4?
    It's running on a Mac and latest updates are installed.  Thanks!

    Sorry, should have included more info.
    When in the Import mode, I can select all my photos (it displays previews
    just fine), yet when I start the import the dialog box the "the following
    operations could not be performed" pops up with the photo file numbers
    listed below.  The puzzling part is that even photos imported and converted
    to .DNG w/ adobe DNG converter will not open in LR4, nor will .jpg or .nef
    files that I can import through LR3.6.
    I feel there is some setting that just needs to get changed in LR4, but for
    the life of me can't figure out what it is.
    Thanks!

  • Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

    I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

    oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

  • 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
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    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.

  • D7000 NEF Files in PSE 7

    Hi all!  I just got a new Nikon D7000 and PSE7 isn't recognizing the NEF files.  It has no trouble opening the files from my old D50.  Yes, I updated the product and yes I installed Camera Raw 5.5 but it still isn't working.  Any help would be much appreciated (before I toss my laptop out of the window in frustration...).

    You would need to upgrade to PSE9. Alternatively you could download the Adobe DNG converter. I regularly use DNG raw files in Adobe editing software and the format works well. However I would recommend keeping your NEF files as your back-up copy.

  • Will not read D800 NEF files

    Lightroom will not read Nikon D800 NEF files.  I have updated lightroom twice,  first to 4.1 and second to 4.2 and in neither case would the files import.  I have read several forum entries that say these files are compatible with Lightroom and/or to update Lightroom.  Anyone have an answer?  This is getting really aggravating!

    Nikon Transfer is obsolete and should not be used.  The Transfer option of an up-to-date ViewNX2 should be ok.  I would hesitate to use something that tries to be very consumer friendly like Windows Photo Transfer in case it is extracting JPG previews from the NEFs instead of actually transferring the NEF files, unchanged, but if you can determine they are really raw files, not just JPGs or JPGs renamed to NEF, then it’s probably ok—the NEFs will be much larger than the JPGs so that’s a way to tell.  I think you should test with a few photos, waiting long enough to make sure you do actually get previews rendered in LR’s Import area.
    Personally I just use Windows Explorer and copy the files from my card in a card-reader to my local hard-drive then do an LR Add Import from there.  I use a codec-pack that allows Windows Explorer to let me see the JPG-previews that are embedded into the raw files so I am not copying blind.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.
