Transfering photos in NEF ( RAW ) fomat from a Nikon D700

The transfer of NEF (RAW) format photos from the new Nikon D700 does not work and generates a - file unreadable - prompt. Jpeg format photos do transfer ok into iPhoto08 from the same D700 .
Also, NEF format pictures transfers from a D200 or a D300 work ok.
Anyone with a solution plse ? Tks in adv .

You might try converting that RAW file to DNG (Adobe Digital Negative). Adobe has a DNG converter that might work for you. iPhoto will accept DNG files.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.

I am having trouble opening .nef raw files from a nikon d800 in elements 9.
I have tried to update ACR to the latest version but can not tell if this has been successful
I just get the message "wrong type of file"

For the D800 you have two alternatives:
(1) Upgrade to PSE 11. (2) Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.3
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.3
You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

How do I get Lightroom 4 to recognize my .nef raw pics from D5300 Nikon?

Adobe lists my D5300 Nikon as compatible, and others I know can upload .nef from different Nikons. (Don't know another with D5300 to ask)
Don't know what I am doing wrong.
I am using Windows 8.1, and no updates are listed for Windows or for my version of Lightroom 4.
Any help on how to get Lightroom 4 to view and upload .nef files?
I did have to install a codex in windows to view .nef. But that didn't help my LR4.

Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
The above list shows that support for the Nikon D5300 was introduced in Lightroom version 5.3.
You have two options a. Upgrade to LR version 5 (latest version is 5.5) or b. Download and utilize the Adobe DNG Converter version 8.3 or later, to convert the .nef files from the D5300 to dng format. Lightroom version 4 will be able to read and process the dng files.
If you choose the b. option its best you use the option to retain your original raw files. For one your Nikon software will not read the dng files.

NEF RAW files from my Nikon D5300 will not open in Photoshop CS3

Is there a plug-in or update I can download that will make it possible for my Photoshop CS3 to open NEF files in RAW.
I noticed a similar discussion a couple of years ago and I followed the advice and as far as I can tell I have the most up-to-date version of my software, and the Camera Raw plug-in is Version 4.6.0.30
I also have the same problem using CS5. Both versions say they cannot recognize the file type. Can I use a converter to make them a different kind of RAW file, but still a RAW format? I would prefer to simply be able to open them in Photoshop for editing.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I just checked the compatibility list again, and the D5300 requires Camera Raw 8.3 (Not 7.3) or Lightroom 5.3. You have Lightroom 5, but what exact version of Lightroom 5 do you have? It might require that you update your Camera Raw and your Lightroom in order to have support in both Photoshop and Lightroom.
You can check your version of Camera Raw by going to the help menu in Photoshop, then about plug-ins and then Camera Raw. The dialog that appears will indicate what version of Camera Raw you have installed. It should not be necessary for you to use the DNG converter unless you feel compelled to.

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 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.

Mac OS 10.9.4 cannot open the NEF/RAW files from the new Nikon D810 Camera

I have a new Nikon D810 camera. My new iMac cannot open the NEF/RAW files from it...Anyone have any knowledge of this?

If you will take the time to send Apple feedback, they will add RAW support - when I got my Canon, it wasn't supported either. I filed feedback and, two months, later, there was an update which included my camera model.

RAW files from my Nikon Df (NEF) will not display in Lightroom. Same format from Nikon D300s works. Camera firmware is current. Df RAW (NEF) files display in Nikon software products, not in Apple software (Aperture or iPhoto).

http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
The above list show the current camera models supported by Adobe Camera Raw (plugin for PS CC) and Lightroom 5.3.
You will see that the Df Raw support was provided in the latest version of LR 5.3. Support for the D300s was introduced in LR 2.5. (the NEF files are different.)
Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw can only be updated after the camera manufacturer has produced the camera and made it publicly available. If you are using an earlier version of Lightroom then that is your problem.
Please post details of the version you are using at present.

I've transferred photos to my ipod classic from my laptop. But how can I transfer JPEG images to ipod?

I've transferred photos to my ipod classic from my laptop. But how can I transfer JPEG images to ipod?

Hello, Blondet787.
JPEG photos are compatible with your device. As long as these images are in the same folder as your pictures, then they should sync. Below, I have included a couple articles that show you how to sync this data to your iPod.

The article below is a little more detailed and designed more as a storage solution for media on your iPod Classic.

Transferring 15GB-20GB of RAW images from PC to Mac

Transferring 15GB-20GB of RAW images from PC to Mac
Hi,
I have a 12 MP camera. I can only recover 40% approx. of the deleted RAW image files from my Sandisk memory card. I want to try mwww.cnwrecovery.com which recovers fragmented files, but only for PCs. I have a Mac.
I also want to make sure I get the original large files - or close to that, which has not been the case with 2 out of 4 recovery software I already tried (they yielded files in the 200KB-600KB range.)
I can use a friend's PC but technical questions arise, i.e.:
a) which media is large enough to use for transferring 15GB-20GB, b) formatting of the media (PC/Mac), c) step-by-step precautions to take when transfering images from media to Mac (formatting, transfer location, etc.)
Apparently, according to Apple support, I have to proceed carefully and in a specific order.
I can use thoughtful and detailed feedback from you guys. Thanks a lot.
Raphael

It should be easy. Just copy the files to four or five DVDs that are identified for use with Macs and PCs. Then copy the DVD contents into a folder on the Mac using the Finder. Burning DVDs is slow but it gives you physical backup of the images that is very comforting when recovering from a disaster.
Another way is to FTP the files via Internet using one of the large-files sites but that too is slow. IMO DVDs are the way to go. It is possible to have format issues but unlikely if you use quality modern media that are identified as Mac and PC. Just try it first.
When you Finder-copy to the Mac select the files you want, do not just grab the whole DVD as one chunk. You do not need any Win directory files or whatever non-image-files that may be there. Beware of malware any time you touch a PC. If anyting asks you to "install" something on the Mac side that needs your password, do not do it; copying image files requires no installation.
Good luck!

When I import raw files from my Nikon D600 into Aperture I get a tryangle sign with "unsupported image format"

Latest Adobe DNG converter (7.2) DOES indeed convert NEF pictures coming from a D600.
Head up to Adobe's website and download the app.
You'll only miss the focus information (focus distance and focus sensors used), but you'll be able to work with raw and not rely on jpg only!

I do not use lightroom and I have a subscription so I can open all supported RAW formats. You will need DNG file for Your Camera's NEF files for use in Photoshop ACR version. You can open your NEF files in LR it seems so you could do all your raw conversion with Lightroom and save out Tiff files for processing in Photoshop. I do use lightroom for I do not need its library. Lightroom does not support layered files so lightroom is of no value to me. ACR UI is all I need having a second interface to Adobe Raw Conversion Engine would more annoyance than value to me.

Problem inporting raw files from my Nikon D3200

i have problems importing raw files from my Nikon D3200, i have tried some of the suggestions such as
removing the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle from the System Library and downloading a newer version (OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support)
The problem is -- the latest RAW Compatibility Update version for Yosemite 6.02 appears to be the one I currently am using (in my System Folder).
In that same article referenced above, my Nikon D800 is listed in an earlier version simply titled "Supported by Yosemite 10.10".
This had some success but is not working after trying it several times, i am currently on version OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 and the version of iphoto is 9.6
any help would be greatly received as i only shoot in Raw

Remove the RawCamera.bundle and RawCameraSupport.bundle again and update the system to 10.10.2 via the App Store. That contains the bundles that will support that camera: OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support. The 6.01 and 6.02 updates are not needed for that camera. Be sure to repair disk permissions after the update.
As usual be sure you have a backup of your hard drive before applying any such update.
