Reading Nikon camera Raw files

I use Photoshop CS5. My camera is a Nikon D610. Is there a plug in that I can add so that I can read the Nikon camera Raw files?

Thank you. I have a Nikon D3200 and hope it works for this Camera too
Not necessarily. The answer is different for every single camera. It also depends on which version of Photoshop you're running.
The D3200 was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 which is compatible with CS6 and later (not CS5)

Reading new camera raw files

Waiting until a camera manufacturer supplies you with a new camera and then waiting until you add the code to LR messes everyone up. Why can't you have LR read new camera raw files if the file format is the same as a similar camera as a generic conversion. Then when you do the thing right and add the proper conversion code, then use that conversion.

Because just because a company like Canon or Nikon doesn't change the file
extension doesn't mean the raw files from one camera to another are anywhere
close to being the same. Think about. Raw files is the raw data from the
cameras sensor. This changes from one camera to another. There is no generic
raw data each camera generates something different and that needs to be
taken in to account so that ACR and all other raw processing programs can
handle the data correctly. Otherwise you picture of cousin Lurch could come
out purple with yellow polka-dots.
If you want a generic format tell the camera makers to use DNG. That is
about as generic as you are going to get.

I cannot read Nikon D600 raw files with CS5

I cannot read Nikon D600 raw files with CS5, I have tried Camera Raw 6.1 update but that has not worked.

Nikon D 600 will work with ACR 7.3 which needs minimum of PS CS 6 : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
With PS CS 5, ACR 7.3 will not work.
So either you need to upgrade to CS 6 or use DNG converter to convert images to DNG format which you can open in CS 5

How do I get LR3 and CS5 read Nikon P7700 raw files?

Just bought a Nikon P7700 so I can use the Raw feature. CS5 and LR3 do not read the P7700 Raw Files....does Adobe have an update and/or plugin for this?

It depends.....if your normal route into PS is through Lightroom and the "Edit in..." process, then no you won't need to update PS as well as Lightroom will handle the Raw conversion. But if you have a need to directly open raw files into Photoshop's ACR plug-in, then yes you would need to upgrade PS as well.

DNG 8.4 won't read Nikon D7100 raw files?

When i go to the folder containing images from D7100, DNG 8.4 does not show any files to be converted even though there are image files (both NEF and JPG) in the folder.
What am I missing?

I have never used NX2, but I know that it will not recognize or read DNG files. I also know that older versions of Nikon Transfer would damage NEF files so that Adobe products could not read them. Personally, I feel the best approach is to download directly from the card using whatever software you plan to do your work with. For instance, I downloaded using the Lightroom import facility. There really isn't any need to use Nikon software to download NEF files from a Nikon camera. Just as a side note, I use a couple of older Nikon cameras, and I do not convert to DNG. I find little advantage to converting, and since Lightroom fully supports both of my cameras I find it convenient and acceptable to work with the original NEF files.

I have CS3 Photoshop and it won't open my Nikon camera raw files.

I checked the RAW version in Photoshop and it is 4.0, why won't my files open?

And what camera? Support for specific cameras is tied to specific versions of ACR. An old version of ACR will never open Raw files from a contemporary camera. Refer to this:

Please tell me what I need to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files. Have downloaded all versions from 8.6 to 9. Photoshop 6 has no problems reading these files

Can anyone tell me how to get Lightroom 4 to read my Nikon 810 raw files Have downloaded 8.6, 8,7, 8.8, and 9 raw converter files and none will work.

You haven't seen the raw image data until you look at the DNG files in Lightroom. The DNG file contains precisely the same raw data that was in the NEF file. The image that you see on your camera is the JPEG preview that is built into the NEF file. And the JPEG preview is affected by all of the in camera settings. And those settings COULD include Active D-lighting, sharpening, style settings, Expeed processing, etc. And none of those settings are going to be picked up by Lightroom.
It's natural and expected that the raw image data won't appear to be as good as what you saw on the camera display. But you can make adjustments to get the images looking even better than what the camera displayed. And that is what shooting raw is all about. If you read in your manual it will indicate that shooting raw produces an image that must be processed. And that is what you do in Lightroom. If you find a set of adjustments that you make consistently to all of your images you can make those adjustments on a newly imported image and then save new camera defaults. Then those settings will be applied to all images that are imported from that point onward. And will be applied to any already imported images when you click on the reset button in the develop module.

I have a Nikon d610 and am using PS CS6. I am unable to download my raw files through Bridge on my mac. I have downloaded the most recent Camera Raw files - 8.7.1 - what should I do next.

The D610 needs ACR 8.3 so you are easily covered there. I am not entirely clear on the process you are using the bring the files onto your hard drive. The safest way is to simply bring all the NEF files into a folder on your hard drive, then find them with bridge and open from there.
If still stuck, open Photoshop, and go Help > About plugins > Camera RAW and check that 8.7 installed OK.

Where can I find the plugin to open camera raw files for Nikon D810 for Photoshop CS5.1? I've looked around the site but cannot get this to work.. Thank you.

See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
You could use the free DNG Converter.

I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700. I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help...

I have Lightroom 1.4.1 and I just started shooting the Nikon D700. I cannot get Lightroom to read my new raw files, help... Is there a plug in or update I can get? I can't afford new software after new camera and new lense!

Lightroom 1.4.1 does not support native (NEF) files from the D700 because the camera didn't even exist when it was released. To get support you have two options: upgrade to Lr 2.x (paid for upgrade) or convert your NEF files to DNG.
DNG converter 5.4 can be downloaded from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ (see right hand side of page)

Opening Camera Raw Files from Nikon D700 to CS2

Hi there! I recently upgraded from the Nikon D200 to the D700. I haven't managed to upgrade to CS5 though! Can anyone help me, I'm trying to open my Camera Raw files in CS2, but I can't. What version of the upgrade do I need for the Camera Raw and where do I find it!
Many thanks!
Carla

The last version that is compatible with Photoshop CS2 is Camera Raw 3.7. It is available from the download site. If you are not going to upgrade your Photoshop then it will be necessary for you to download the latest version of the DNG converter and use it to create Digital negative copies of your raw files. Then you will be able to open those DNG files in ACR 3.7.

Photoshop CC doesn't open my camera raw files from my new Nikon D800 (ACR v 8.3.0.141)

However, it opens camera raw files from my D300 without problems.
Same for Bridge: NEF files are displayed as generic thumbs.
Can anyone help me?

I don't use the Nikon software, but I believe that the latest version of Nikon Transfer works fine. I think it comes with ViewNX2, which is a free download, AFAIK.
I personally download my photos using a card reader and Adobe Bridge (which comes with Photoshop, and contains Adobe Photodownloader). Not sure, but I think it's included with Lightroom & Elements too (but I don't use those either). Using Photodownloader has the added advantage of being able to add metadata at the same time.

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to

Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with PSE 12 when purchased recognize the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

PSE 12 is not supporting camera raw files with my nikon d4s

I am using PSE 12 to edit pictures. I just purchased a Nikon d4s and neither the organizer nor the editor lets me open the raw file. It says the camera raw file is not supported. I just downloaded camera raw update and it still does not work

Which operating system are you using?
Did you try Help>Updates from within the pse 12 editor to get camera raw 8.5, which should then enable both the pse 12 editor and organizer to open those files.

I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files with CS6 under Windows 8.1?

I bought a new PC so I could use Photoshop CS6 more efficiently. However, after I installed CS6, I can't read Nikon D5200 Raw NEF files under Windows 8.1. I've tried updating CS6, but nothing seems to work.

First, I hadto load the most recent version of the Adobe Application Manager. Then I could see all of the CS6 Updates including the most recent Camera Raw update.
I had to run one update at a time for it to work correctly.
But now I'm cooking with gas.
Thanks for your help.
