Shooting RAW with Nikon d600 and photoshop cs5?

I have a Nikon d600 and need to shoot RAW instead of jpeg. I have always shot in jpeg so I don't know where to even start. I have CS5 and I don't know what I need to do to be able to load, edit and return pictures to clients. Please help.

The D600 didn't get RAW out-of-the-box support until Camera Raw version 7.3...which is in CS6 and above.
You have a few options (in free to paid order):
Use the software that came with the D600 to open and work with Canon NEF files.
Download and install the DNG Converter so that you can open converted Canon NEF files to DNG and open those in CS5.
Pay to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 or Photoshop CC.
Beyond that, if your camera isn't already doing it, you should be able to switch to NEF for file format by going into the D600's user interface menu. (Most cameras will let you shoot JPEG-only, which is sometimes the default, RAW-only or JPEG+RAW. Consult the D600's manual or just dig around the menus for such a setting.)

  • I am using Photoshop CS5 extended and I have tried to get an update to be able to use raw with my D600 and it won't give me any options. Any recommendations othere than to go to PSCC and LRCC?

    Is there a way to update PS CS5 extended to allow me to use raw with my D600. It works with my D300 and D90 raw but not with my D600.

    CS5 Adobe Camera Raw stopped at 6.7 and the D600 support was introduced in 7.2 for CS6.
    You are eligible to upgrade to Photoshop CS6 for $200 Standard or $400 Extended if you do not want the Cloud.

  • Error with Nikon D600 and PSE 11 in RAW 9 (.nef) files.

    When I used PSE 8, I could easily open any .nef files and edit them.
    Now with PSE 11, I get an error message that says my camera is now not compatible. I have had a Nikon D600 and use a Nikon ED AF-S Nikkor VR 24-85mm 1:35-45G, Nikon ED EF-S Nikkor VR 70-300mm 1:45-56G lens and a Nikon DX AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm1:35-56G lens too.
    The error message says "...file appears from a camera model which is not supported by installed version of Camera Raw ...". Why it PSE 11 not backward compatible?
    I bought PSE 11 2 weeks ago. I bought the Nikon from a local camera shop in November 2012.
    Per the Adobe website, I have installed DNG patches 7.2, 7.3 and 8.1. None have resolved the problem after fully installing the download (through Finish) and rebooting the PC several times.
    I tried to download DNG 7.3, it fails
    Where can I obtain the CS6 file the Adobe website says should resolve the problem too?
    I have an HP PC running Windows Vista 32 BIT Processor.

    I just caught the part about your  having "uploaded DNG patches 7.2, 7.3 and 8.1". 
    Those are not "patches" at all but stand-alone applications on their own right.  You don't just install the DNG Converter, you actually have to run the converter in a separate step and convert the raw Nikon NEF files to raw DNG files.  The DNG Converter does not do anything magically or automatically.  Point the DNG Converter to the folder containing your raw files; it works on folders, not on individual files.  But you shouldn't even remotely need the Adobe DNG Converter in the first place.
    However, most importantly, what you need to update is your ACR plug-in. 
    No matter when you buy an Adobe application, it will ALWAYS need to be updated right away, and so do all plug-ins.  What you buy is always the original release, and by the time it's out there it will inevitably be obsolete.
    If you go to the Help menu in Elements, I'm assuming it will have a menu item for Updates (or Check for Updates), that should offer to apply any applicable updates to Elements and to ACR plug-in.

  • Problem printing with Epson 3800 and Photoshop CS5

    I came across a problem trying to print with my Epson 3800 in Photoshop CS5.  I recently upgraded to Photoshop CS 5 (and Lightroom 3).  I tried to print using my Epson 3800 with CS5 but could not adjust Print Settings, Color Mamagement, Paper Configuration, Expand Border because those options are unavailable and there is a line crossing through them. I get a message that says "The bundle 'Print Setting' could not be loaded because it does not contain a version for the current architecture".   It then says to contact the creator listed here for the latest version: PrintSetting version 3.57, Copyright SEIKO EPSON CRP 2001-2006.   I can print through Photoshop CS4 as usual, but CS5 is a problem.  I haven't tried printing though Lightroom 3 yet, and have not typically used Lightroom to print, but I wonder if that will be a problem too?
    Any help will be appreciated.

    If you run CS5 or LR as a 32bit application you will have all these option available to you. You can then save these options as presets that can then be applied when you are running the applications in 64bit mode even if you can not access them individually.
    Also you might want to check Epson's download site especially the European site to see if there are newer drivers or updates for your printer. The newest drivers for other printers like the 7600/9600 support application running in 64bit mode.

  • What happened with Snow Leopard and Photoshop CS5?

    I know that photoshop uses a ton of resources and RAM but it was remarkably smooth and efficient with Leopard. Why is Snow Leopard so different? I can't even use it anymore and I can't afford to purchase a new mac. Is there a fix or do I need a ton of more RAM?
    Thanks,

    I may have found my own solution. I didn't know that CS5 had an update to address a lot of bugs. I'm betting that Snow Leopard is one of them. The version is 12.4.

  • Help with configurator 2 and photoshop cs5

    Hi, I new to photoshop and heard of Configurator 2 so I decided to create a panel that would include all the variations of the tools. That was a piece of cake.  However, I wanted a panel that would include all the tools some of the tools are absent and some don't work as expected.
    For the time being, I removed de move tool and the zoom tool the default foreground/background color tool and the switch foreground to background color tool but added a features search tool(like I said, I'm new at this and don't always remember where everything is)
    Here is the list of problems:
    1- the hand tool when double clicked does not fit the image in the screen
    2- the zoom tool when double clicked does not show the image at 100%
    3- the foreground and background colors tools are absent for the list of available tools
    4- the quick mask tool is absent for the list of available tools

  • I have a Nikon D600 and D800 and I shoot everything in Raw. I use Photoshop Elements 9 for processing but I have been unable to convert any RAW files to open in PSE. Says unable to parse the file. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    Since pse 9 can only use up to camera raw 6.5 and the d600 needs at least 7.3 and the d800 needs at least 6.7, you can use the
    8.6 adobe dng converter to convert those files to dng copies, which then pse 9 should open.

  • I shoot .nef with a D800e and am learning to edit these in Photoshop Camera Raw.  How to save edits?

    I shoot .nef with a D800e and am learning to edit these in Photoshop Camera Raw.  What is the best way to save for viewing and printing and sending to friends on a DVD? (TV viewing)  If I save edits as a tiff or jpeg does Photoshop remember the edits if I open the .nef picture again?  Do i really need three versions of each picture?  jpg, nef and photoshop raw, or what??    I have several thousand .nef and to convert to a photoshop raw format would take much disk space and yes I have three external drives of 1 - 3 TB. 
    What is my best practice?

    For that Nikon model you need ACR 8.3 that means CS6 or CC.  Or you can download the DNG converter convert your Nikon RAW files to Adobe RAW files. And then process the Adobe RAW files with CS5 ACR version  6.7

  • Why does Camera Raw 6.7.1 w/ Photoshop CS5 not convert raw files from a Nikon D610 camera?

    I just upgraded  my Nikon D90 camera to a D610.  I've been using Adobe Bridge to manage my photos made with the D90, and Camera Raw 6.3 to convert the raw files for use in Photoshop CS5.  The new D610 writes different raw files, so I upgraded Camera Raw to the latest version (6.7.1) which is said to be compatable with the latest Nikon cameras. 
    The D90 files still convert fine with Camera Raw 6.7.1, but the raw files from the D610 cannot be read.  Does anyone have any insight into why not?
    Thanks,
    JoelP

    There will not be another update for Camera Raw 6.x which is the version that is compatible with Photoshop CS5. So you will not have a way to natively open your NEF files from the Nikon D610.  But you can download the DNG converter (version 8.3 RC) from Adobe Labs and use it to create digital negative copies of your NEF files. And then you can use those with the Camera Raw that you already have. Other alternatives would be to upgrade to Photoshop CC, or Photoshop Elements 12, or add Lightroom to your workflow. If you choose Lightroom you would have to use the 5.3 release candidate at this point to have support for your camera. It will, of course, be supported in the final version of Lightroom 5.3 as well as all subsequent versions of Lightroom.

  • Help with Nikon D600 NEF files, CS6, and ACR 7.3 beta

    I have been unable to open NEF files from my Nikon D600 in Photoshop CS6, and ACR 7.3 beta.  Any suggestions/guidance would be much appreciated.
    RAW was set to 14 bit color, but I can't see that that would matter?

    From discussion with others, it would appear that the files were corrupted during transfer. 
    I have some suggestions that I will try tomorow.
    I have no problems opening old Nikon D700 NEF files in Photoshop CS6, and when ACR opens the file it indicates I'm using ACR 7.3 beta.

  • Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5

    Output sharpening in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) and Photoshop CS5
    I want to do two-pass sharpening - capture and output - with output capture done just before I print. I do the initial (capture) sharpening in the ACR Detail/Sharpening panel, with Amount slider set to, for example, 100.  Then, I open the image to PS CS5 as a Smart Object, and use layers and masks for further editting.
    My question is, can I go back to ACR for the final (output) sharpening pass?  When I re-open the file in ACR, the Sharpening Amount slider is back to zero, but the other three sliders are still at the settings I used at the start of the process, i.e., the capture sharpening.  If I again set the Amount slider to a positive value, then again open the image in PS for printing, will my second pass through the ACR Sharpening panel take effect - will it accumulate on top of the initial sharpening?
    By the way, the reason I want do output sharpening in ACR rather than, say, PS Unsharp Mask, is so I can use the Masking slider in ACR, which is much easier than the comparable techniques available in PS.  I am aware that some say you should not do any masking for the output sharpening. I'd like to though.
    Thanks for ideas.

    This is pretty much the way I do it, and I also always found ACR sharpening superior to anything in Photoshop. There is the "sharpen for output" in ACR, but you have little control over it.
    The tricky part is feeding the file through ACR a second time. I don't think re-opening the Smart Object will do anything more than you could have done the first time. I do it with a rendered TIFF, and have an intricate set of actions that I run in the Image Processor Pro. It's a mess, and you don't want to know.
    The frustrating part is how to action ACR. I just can't figure it out. It'll work, and then I have to change some setting and the action stops working. I suspect you need a script, but so far I haven't found any.
    So I've come to a compromise: I first process to TIFF in a temp folder, then I bulk open them in ACR to sharpen, then a second process to finish up.
    For less critical files I have a sharpening action that comes close, involving edge masks and blend ifs, using smart sharpen which tends to preserve edges better than unsharp mask, and with less accumulation of noise.
    Bottom line: I'm also very interested in further comments to this. BTW, I recently bought Lightroom 4, so maybe there is a posibility using that in a mixed workflow.

    Elements 11 states that it does not support the camera raw from my new Nikon D600 and that I should go to "the Camera Raw help documentation." When I click on the help menu I get a message from my browser stating that it is a dangerous website. Now what

    Unfortunately it was clicking on Updates that brought the “dangerous website” pop-up, but several hours later I tried again for the umpteenth time, and it worked! I am so glad because I am working on a project with a deadline.
    Thanks for replying. Maybe if someone else has this problem they could be told to wait a few hours and try again.
    The main option on the ‘dangerous’ pop-up is a “Get me out of here!” button, which I always clicked. There are options to go to the website anyway, but I am too leery of the web to do that. Now that I know it’s possible to reach the update center without risk I will never consider it.

    See for yourself which version of ACR is needed for that camera’s RAW files

    then check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    Your version of Photoshop does not support that version of ACR.
