Support for D3x NEF file in Lightroom 1.4

Any idea if LR 1.4 will support the D3x files at any future date?

It won't.
But if you download the free DNG Converter and run it on your D3x files you will be able to use then in 1.4.
Having said that you will benefit from 2.x's advances!

Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

Is this a sensible workflow for Nikon NEF files?

Hi,
I'm new to the world of digital SLRs having received a Nikon D40 for Christmas. After comparing Aperture 2 and Lightroom 2, I've decided to go with Aperture, as I already use Logic Pro so like the user interface and (I know a lot of people don't agree) I prefer the way Aperture renders the Nikon NEF files without extra adjustment. I'm also evaluating Capture NX 2, but am undecided as to whether I need it at this point.
Up until now I've been using Nikon Transfer to transfer the photos to my iMac, and View NX to view them. I like the automatic naming of folders in Transfer, plus being able to see Nikon's interpretation of the raw files. I've then been importing the photos as referenced files into Aperture for proper cataloguing, etc.
Is this a good approach? I'm a hobby photographer, mostly landscapes and townscapes, and deal with hundreds rather than thousands of images.
I'm a bit confused by all the options, so any advice would be very welcome!
Chris

Is this a sensible workflow for Nikon NEF files? YES!
I shoot Nikon NEF files and use Aperure exclusively with occasionally a little blending of layers made from versions of the same raw file (to improve the dynamic range a little more).
You like Nikon Transfer's "automatic nameing of folders" Check out the Subfolders drop down menu in the Import Window in Aperture; you can do that and much more too.
"...plus being able to see Nikon's interpretation of the raw files." You need to choose between the Nikon route and the Aperture route I think. You don't drive from A to B in one brand of car and then go back and do it in another brand of car just in case it might be better do you?!
"I'm a hobby photographer, mostly landscapes and townscapes, and deal with hundreds rather than thousands of images" Can you keyword images and then use them to sort and group images in View NX? You can in Aperture.
From my humble experience as a Nikon owner using Aperture for two years I suggest you use Aperture to download, organise and edit your raws. I prefer referenced so that I can archive large numbers of Raws to free disk space and for protection but still search the previews or do a keyword searches. I used to use Capture NX to process any files that needed more work but now that Aperture2 is so good and has so many plug-ins I have left the slow, clunky Nikon Prog' alone. Be brave and jump in to Aperture. It is great once you are in!

Major problem: I can not export NEF files from Lightroom

This is just plain weird: I can't export NEF files from Lightroom 2. I can export any other file format, but not NEF. With Lightroom 1 this was no problem.
It makes no difference whether I choose the export command with my mouse, via the menu or with a key stroke - nothing happens.
Lightroom version 2.0
Camera Raw version 4.5.0.175
Camera Nikon D3
Photoshop CS3 version 10.0.1
MacOsX version 10.5.4
I've called Adobe, and they simply don't know. I have reinstalled Lightroom 2 with no succes. Restarting, repairing permissions, nothing helps.
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Marsel, your language is confusing, First, you cannot 'export' NEFs to PS. You can send a copy there from within LR as a tif or psd.
Exporting per se takes place through the Library module under the Export function. When Nef's are exported by choosing 'original' in the export dialogue, the file is the 'original' NEF accompanied by an XMP. That Nef, if opened directly in PS from your file system should appear in the Camera Raw window, where you can make whatever new edits on it you want or change the original adjustments you made in LR. Then, once you open that file in PS from the Camera Raw window, any further work you do will be pixel editing. That work can then be saved in a number of formats, but not as a NEF.
Transferring files to PS from LR for editing is another matter. That sends a copy of the original NEF, including LR adjustments to PS as either a Tiff or a PSD (your choice via the dropdown). After you have edited that Tiff or PSD in PS and hit save, it will send a copy back to LR as a Tiff or PSD, which will appear next to the original nef.
These procedures work perfectly on both my windows 32 and 64 bit machines with LR2 and 2.1. with all my NEFs from several camera models.
When you say 'export' do you really mean sending a copy to PS or do you mean 'Export' as LR defines that term?

How do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

how do I import iPhoto raw (NEF) files into Lightroom 3.6?

You will need an application that can convert those pcd files into one that iPhoto supports, mainly jpeg. GraphicConverter is supposed to support many, many formats and might just support the pcd. If so you could use it to convert them to jpegs.
There's an automator workflow that I've put into an application that will take many image files and convert them into jpeg with the RGB color profile. I've never tried it on the Kodak files but you can give it a try. It's called +*Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile*+ and can be downloaded from Toad's Cellar. Make a copy of a couple of files and see if it will work. If so then you can batch convert folders of the files at once by dragging them onto the application.
I believe GC can do batch conversions but am not familiar with the application.

Is there support for animated .gif files?

Is there support for animated gif files using
form builder? I can't get it to work.
Thanks
Sean
I am using forms 6.0

She used the Link Tool, specfied 'Image URL' as the Source File Format and the url of the animated GIF in the Source Filename. Hope that helps.
Makes sense but the form is not for the web.
I have looked at doing it with timers and switching canvases, but that is just too much
for sloppy animation. It's just not tight enough.
Thanks,

[Consolidation-Locked] Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!

My Fair Adobe,
Please add RAW support for the Nikon D600 to Lightroom as soon as possible!
ViewNX lets me get to the images, but come on!!! I know Lightroom, and you, ViewNX, are no Lightroom.
Yes, I see everyone else ASKING for D600 support. I'm here to beg for it! Don't make me wait much longer!

Rob, my reading of your site is that this plug-in copies settings from raw to jpeg, does it work the other way around as well?
Rob Cole wrote:
One of the great things about the new 0-based defaults and linear tone curve is:
You can develop the jpegs now, in Lightroom, and then sync the settings to the raws later (e.g. using RawPlusJpeg), and provided you select a matching camera profile, they will look almost the same (white balance won't translate over, but everything else will, more or less). Beware lens corrections applied to the raws might alter the registration of precision local adjustments.
Note: I recommend shooting with ADL off in order for this to work better, and consider turning sharpening off in camera as well, and noise reduction and everything else to whatever extent is possible.

Tether support for the Nikon D750 in lightroom 5

Will there be tether support for the Nikon D750 in Lightroom 5

You are absolutely correct Lightroom does not have tether support for the new Nikon D750. see the list of supported cameras.
Tethered camera support in Lightroom
Nikon need to provide the required sdk info for the camera to enable Adobe to work on adding tether support.

Importing .NEF files into Lightroom 4.4

Hi All,
I am running lightroom 4.4 and camera raw 7.4. I can't seem to import a .NEF file. I normally shoot Canon and have no problems with the .CR2 file. The error message I get is that "The file is not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom. (1)" When I check for updates, it says that my software is up-to-date. My guess is that I need to update camera raw but I don't if I can do that wit the version of lightroom that I have. So my questions are the following: Is there a way for me to update the camera raw version without having to upgrade from LR 4.4? Is there another way that I can get this to work?
Thanks
Wesley

NOt sure which one is troubeling you.
As soon as you convert from RAW to some other file system, things are locked, so you only have the possibility to create a preset in lightroom that fits what you're expectiong to receive.
In many cases it makes more sense to shoot in jpg and get the Picture Style right in the camera, you have many options in the D810, as a D800-user I know.
The reason I upgraded to LR5 was also the change to the new D800.
You will have a better and faster workflow in LR5 with the big files and some better possibilities than in LR4 ...
The upgrade to LR5 is not as expensive as your D810 was
Many people are selling their key for less than 50$ ... I think this is quite fair and saves you a lot of time(=money) as you will be stuck in the DNG-workaroung in future for every RAW you shoot.

Can not import nef files to lightroom 5.6 with Nikon D750, help?

Just bought Nikon D750 and tried to import nef from camera to lightroom 5,but couldn't find files. Afterwords I upgraded to lightroom 5.6, still noughing.

Aerture and D3X NEF files

Hi, can anyone help?
I have just bought a Nikon D3x and find that Aperture 2 cannot open the files.
Does anyone know if there is an update in the offing or if there is a work-a-round?
I really don't want to get into using Nikon Capture.
I also have CS2 but I guess there's no chance of help there.

i have to disagree with you there. lately, support has been very timely. within 2 weeks of real availability of the 5d mark ii, apple had support for it. as a matter of fact, i got mine here in one of the first batches to make it to portugal, and 2 days later, the raw update came out. that's very good for me. non-pro cameras like some compacts used by pros tend to take longer to be supported.
regarding your problems with the raw files: if adobe camera raw comes out with an update, you can use the dng converter to convert the nefs to dng and use them in aperture, but i don't think adobe has support for the camera either.

Can't open NEF files in Lightroom...why?????

I recently replaced my Canon with a Nikon D5000.
First test of taking photos and I could not upload the RAW (nef) files to my computer--either directly into my pictures or into lightroom. Figured that out by downloading the NEF Codec, which allowed me to view my photos on my computer as thumbnails, attempts to open said Windows does not recognize this file. Okay. So, double-clicked an image, took me Lightroom and I selected "import" to be given the "this file is unsupported or damaged." I have tried EVERRYTHING I can think of, cannot get these files to open. I will say I am fairly new to using Lightroom beyond the basics, but I had no problem importing RAW files from my canon.
Is there some sort of setting I need to change to allow these files to be opened in lightroom??? I tried copying from file and copying as a DNG--neither worked.
Help would be appreciated very much!! I have spent the past two hours in frustration trying to figure this out, no one seems to have a clue.

And your version of LR is ...?
LR supports the D5000 in the latest v2.5, AFAIK.

Photoshop CS4 will not read Raw files from Nikon D60. [was: No automatic updates for my PS CS 4 on windows (for reading .Nef files)?]

Hi
I have been using PS CS4 for several years.
Yesterday, I went to PS CS4 help and selected "updates", but I get the message "There are not updates available at this time; Please note that some updates for the following products cannot be determined at this time: Adobe Updater".
I need the updates because I just purchased a Nikon D60 and my Photoshop does not read the .NEF files produced by the camera.
any idea, please?
thanks

Do you really mean the Nikon D60 which shipped in 2008? Was it purchased secondhand?
The Nikon D60 was first supported in Adobe Camera Raw 4.4.
Photoshop CS4 ships with Camera Raw 5.0 so it can read D60 NEF files out of the box. No updates required.
If you do mean the D60 then something else must be going on. e.g. are you using Nikon software to transfer files from camera to computer?
