Tethering with Nikon D600 - no camera found!!!!

This is incredibly frustrating to have a $2,000+ camera that cannot connect to Lightroom. It really impacts the value of both Lightroom and my camera if they don't talk to each other. Please advise when you anticipate this being fixed in an update.

Then why did you buy the camera?
Well ... considering Aperture and Capture One both support the D600 for tethering, some folks would think the world's leading graphics and imaging software developer would also have supported the D600 by now ... the idea we should be held hostage by a third party developer to base your equipment purchase decisions is just a tad ridiculous ... sometimes we are in need of upgrading equipment for more reasons than what you or Adobe may consider important ... Adobe is NOT the center of the Universe ...
Adobe should be a bit more responsive to stay current ... if they don't consider it a priority to do so, or feel it is too difficult to offer support for tethered shooting, maybe they should drop tether support all together ... it can't be that difficult to offer the support if others can get the job done ... we are not discussing a topic so complex as manned space flight to Mars ... we simply would like to transfer image data from camera to computer at the point of capture ... a task that is not as complex as some would like us to believe ...
To the OP - You can shoot tethered with Lr on Mac OS X as long as you have installed the current Digital Camera RAW compatibility updates ... then use the included Image Capture app (found in the Applications folder) and then point Lr to a watched folder for auto import (this would be the folder you select in Image Capture) ... you won't be able to trigger the camera from within Lr or adjust camera settings ... but you can get the job done this way until Adobe decides it's time to catch up.

View NEF thumbnails taken with Nikon D600 on my iMac without buying Aperture?

How on Earth can I view NEF/RAW thumbnails taken with Nikon D600 without buying Aperture. My others cameras work fine, I can vuew both my JPEG and NEF now no such luck.

Understand the issue now and came across this thread which I accept may not solve your problem:Apple Raw update brings support for 11 cameras, including D600 and RX100: Digital Photography Review
Although I could open images (D300) in Finder/Preview my issue was I could'nt seem to be able to scroll through the folder so got into the habit of using View NX2. Although that has an email option it does'nt seem to want to email Nefs' due I imagine to file size though I think there are email 'handlers' that will accomodate such file sizes.
According to this thread, Raw support for the D600 is available via the Apps Store but no app info was mentioned: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4355881?start=0&tstart=0
All else failing, I defer to Shootist's comments which seem to concur with those in the last thread mentioned.
Also came across this thread:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57539833-37/apple-adds-raw-support-for-nikon-d 600-other-photokina-models/

LIGHTROOM 4.2 not working with nikon d600

Installed Lightroom 4.2 to read NEF files from a Nikon D600 and it says preview unavailable and it does not recognize the files..on a PC with windows 7..any ideas

If you are using Nikon Transfer to copy your files from your camera to you computer, make sure you are using the latest version. Please see: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4759832

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.

Question: Programs that work with Nikon D600 .NEF files

I recently upgraded to the Nikon D600. With that, I’m unable to open RAW images in the programs that I currently have (PS Elements 9). Does Photoshop Elements 11 have the correct software (Camera Raw 7 and higher)? Or will I need to get the full version Photoshop CS6?
Thanks for any help you can offer!

PSE11 will handle your NEF files but you will need to update immediately after installation using:
Help >> Updates
Also look at Lightroom 5. Unlike Elements it has all of the raw tools from CS6 in an intuitive interface designed for photographers by photographers.

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.)

HT201071 RAW format Problem with NIKON D600 after updating to maverick.

We still have problems after this update.
Pictures in RAW format imported to Aperture are brilliant as they are with the NIKON D600. Imported Pictures with the NIKON D800 are aweful. They are kind of grey without any saturation. To convert every single Picture to JPEG brings back their brilliance and colors. We have consulted the apple and the aperture support, but they dind't have any solution to fix our issue.
Any ideas?

Have you also asked in the Adobe forums? To have people read your post, best not to include long crash reports until asked to do so.

Problem with NIKON D600 RAW files

I have had a new NIKON D600 for 6 months. The RAW files have worked well all this time. However, I recently took the camera in for repair. Upon its return the Adobe Essentials 11 catalague and editor no longer recognizes the RAW files created by the camera. However, those files are still recognized by the Nikon software ViewNX2. Since I use the Adobe program all the time for manipulating the files I need RAW access.
I called Nikon and they told me it must be an Adobe software problem. But the Adobe software recognized the files up the time of the camera repair.
What can I do about this?

Hi,
How do you get the images from the card to the PSE catalog?
There are known problems when using older version of the Nikon software to download the images. Have you tried updating the Nikon software?
The D600 needs ACR 7.3. You haven't recently re-installed PSE 11 and not done the updates have you?
What version of camera raw is installed (Editor -> Help -> About Plug-in -> Camera Raw)?
Can you still open the older D600 images that you took before the camera was repaired?
What operating system are you using?

Aperture 3 tethered with Nikon D300 trouble

I've been having trouble shooting tethered with Aperture 3 and the Nikon D300. It works for a few shots then it jams with the spinning wheel until i have to force quit. Also the inspector column gets messed up with type over type. I'm assuming apple will issue an update for this but i'm not very impressed. I have been using Capture one, trial version in the meantime to get by until a fix arrives and it has been working fine. Nice fast captures and no BS. <Edited By Host>

I gave up with shooting tethered in Aperture 3. I now use Capture one 5 Pro from phase one. I use Aperture for the image adjustment because i like the built in retouch tools and the image management (although my search does not work in Aperture 3, waiting for an update). I'm not impressed with Apple software right now.
Capture one works flawless tethered, the fastest importing i've ever had and didn't take long to get used to the focus tools etc. Try the 30 day free trial and you'll see. When I'm done a shooting session, i just drag the capture folder (with the NEF files) onto a flash drive and import them into Aperture for adjustment.

Aperture FREEZES WHILE TETHERED with Nikon D90

I shoot a lot in my studio, so shooting tethered with my Nikon D90 is very useful... UNTIL Aperture freezes every 10-15 captures, so I have to FORCE QUIT it and restart. This, of course, is SUPER ANNOYING, especially when CLIENTS are watching.
Can anyone please enlighten me what's going on, and how I could alleviate the problem? I'm running the latest version of Aperture on a MacBook Pro 17" with a 2.3GHz processor and 4GB of RAM. And I'm usually not running anything other than iTunes alongside Aperture while shooting. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I finally gave up on tethered shooting with my Nikon D3 and Aperture 3. Aperture crashed every fifth shot or so and made me crazy. I tried new libraries, new cables, faster computer, etc. I submitted countless bug reports. I waited patiently for a software fix, because I never had this problem with Aperture 2.
I gave up and rolled back to Aperture 2 on my laptop (which I use only for tethered shooting). Now tethering works perfectly again; it's a software issue. I've had one crash in maybe 2000 shots with Aperture 2, and I can live with that. It's a crummy solution, but it's either that or I buy Lightroom and scrap Aperture for good.
FYI: the raw converter is different in Ap2 than Ap3. What looks good in Ap2 looks underexposed in Ap3 (almost by a stop, looking at the histograms), and the color rendering is quite different between the two. If you try this Ap2 solution out, do some testing before you do a live shoot to make sure you're happy with your results.

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.
Regards,
Erich

Tethering with Nikon D750

I know this was asked a few weeks ago, but any news on tethering with the Nikon D750 in Lightroom?

If there was, the Lightroom Tethering Support page (which we're all free to check) would have been updated.

Workflow photoshop cs3 on mac with nikon d200/300 camera

I already asked this question at the mac forum in here ...it dealed with the problem that i have noisy pictures anyway after having changed to ps cs3 under mac.Istill make the pictures with my nikon d200/300 camera and i have not chosen any higher iso number. I usually take the pictures in raw format transform them into tiff format after having finished my work and sometimes i produce jpegs out of the tiff file later on.In fact ,all the pictures have this noise effects . Has this got something to do with the colour depht menue in camera or cs3 maybe?

Probably has to do with your default sharpening & noise reduction settings.
If you're comparing to in-camera JPEGs then the JPEGs usually look smoother initially because the higher ISO images will have a fair amount of noise reduction applied.

Tethering with Nikon D3100

I have LR5, and it wil not detect my Nikon D3100 when I start Tether capture, why?

The D3100 is not supported for tethering by LR:
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
Adobe relies on the Nikon camera SDK to support tethering and Nikon does not support tethering of the D3100:

Tethering with NIkon D50

Nikon D50 has not been on the list of tetherable cameras, I know, but I still got it working this March. Now, after an Aperture update (currently installed version now being 2.1.3) the D50 support seems to have disappeared.
So, if there is anyone out there who enjoyed like myself in the past the unexpected benefit of D50 tethering, and have figured out how to get it back, please let us know.
Regards,
Juha Lehtovaara
an occasional tetherer

Probably a problem with wires, since a replacement solved this....
