Trouble converting RAW to DNG from Nikon D90

Hi,
I'm using CS4 and have uploaded the latest Adobe DNGConverter, 8.7.1 and still my raw photos taken with my Nikon D90 don't convert in Bridge or Photoshop.
Anybody have ideas for what to do?
Take care,
Paul

You have to convert the NEFs to DNGs with the converter and then those DNGs should work, but not the original NEFs.
What process are you following that leads to apparent failure?  Are you creating DNGs and those don’t work, or are you having troubles even creating the DNGs?

    I don't understand why you feel you need to use ViewNX to download your images from the camera. Lightroom has an excellent import process. I don't see that you gain anything by using the Nikon software. It seems to me that it has the capability of just creating more problems.
    If you want to convert your D750 files to DNG using the standalone DNG converter thing you need to have DNG converter 8.7 installed. Once you have it installed, just choose the FOLDER in the DNG converter, but don't open it in the DNG converter file browser. If you open that folder then you will get the message that there are no files to convert. The converter works on the folder level, not the individual file level.

  • When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

    This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
    I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

  • I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS.  I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

    I have CS2. I shot RAW files with my Nikon D90 and now cannot open them in PS.  I heard there was a plug-in to download for this, but cannot find it. Help?

    You would need at least CS3 with ACR 4.6 to natively edit NEFs from a D90 in PS:

    It might also work to use the DNG Converter 4.6 or newer to convert the NEF files to DNGs and then those might open in your older CS2 ACR, but I’m not sure, since it’s a 9 year old program I haven’t used in years.
    The DNG Converter can be found, here:

  • Raw (NEF) files from Nikon D7100 - Work on Elements 10

    Has a update or patch been made for using raw (NEF) files from Nikon's D7100 camera?

    Photoshop Elements 10 does support Adobe Camera Raw 6.4.1 to 6.7 and minimum requirement for Nikon D7100 is ACR 7.4.

    You need to upgrade to PSE11 or can convert the NEF files to DNG and import into PSE10.

  • How do I install camera raw 4.6 (for Nikon D90) in Elements 6 for a Mac?

    I need to install camera raw 4.6 (for Nikon D90) plug-in on Elements 6 for at Mac?  I'ved downloaded the plug-in but it does not seem to work.  I've got Elements 10 on my desktop Mac but I am using Elements 6 on an older iBook G4.  Any help will be appreciated.  thanks.

    For PSE 6, get the .plugin out of the download, then go to your hard drive>library>Application Support>Adobe>plug-ins>file formats and remove the old plug-in, then put just the new .plugin file in there instead. Older versions of PSE can't update ACR from the help menu the way PSE 10 can.

  • How do you open raw files (NEF from Nikon) in the edit workspace on Elements 8

    how do I get raw NEF files (from Nikon) to open in the edit workspace of elements 8?  I have windows 7 , and when I try to open NEF raw files from the viewer, it says cannot recognize the file type.
    Thanks!

    What is your camera model? Every camera has its own raw format and the raw converter must be updated to work with it. If your camera model was new in the past couple of years PSE 8 won't be able to open those files directly.

  • Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.

    Cannot open .avi files imported from Nikon d90 in Adobe Premiere 6.0.
    When I try to open the file I get the following error message:
    "cannot open that file
    the file uses an unsupported file compression format"
    I really need urgent help with this so if you know a soloution, please post it!

    I don't do mjpeg so you will have to search the forum for advice
    But... having a playback codec installed does not ALWAYS mean the codec will work for Premiere editing
    After you search the forum and find the (I think free) codec vendors, you will need to install fresh so Premiere will "see" the codec for editing
    Or, Google
    convert mjpeg avi
    To convert to DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound so the files will "natively" edit in Premiere
    My GUESS (you didn't say) is the d90 is a STILL camera that has a video function, not a true camcorder
    If you plan to do much video work, you need a tape-based DV camcorder so you use Firewire to do a digital transfer as a "real" AVI that Premiere may edit without conversion or extra software
    For a Firewire DV Camera - look at Panasonic PV-GS320 or GS500 (Note that I have not used either, but they have good reviews)

  • Cannot import pictures from Nikon D90.  Computer says all are unreadible.  Already successfully imported to Aple laptop.  Why the 'unreadible' message.

    Trying to import photos from Nikon D90 camera.  Computer saying all files are unreadible.  Impossible!!! Just imported to laptop.  Anyone know what would cause this message. 

    I've tried IPhoto and Nikon View.  IPhoto does nothing and Nikon View says files unreadible.

  • Does iPhoto Support RAW from Nikon D90?

    I shoot in RAW. I had a D80 and iPhoto would import my RAW photo files ok. I just got a Nikon D90 and iPhoto will not import my files. Any ideas?
    Lee

    Lee:
    In the meantime you might see if Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 4.6 is compatible with the D90. That would let you convert the RAW files to the DNG (digital negative) format which iPhoto does support. There's other RAW converters available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for RAW.
    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.

  • Can't open NEF or convert to DNG from NIkon D3

    I have a new Nikon D3. I purchased CS3 sooner than I expected since there were some problems converting or even opening NEF files produced with the Nikon softwares.
    Now CS3 tells me that it can't open NEFs. And when I try to convert them to DNGs on import, it says that operation fails.
    Is there something elemental here that I am missing? Somewhere in the info I read that CS3 supports the D3. Is there some hidden setting somewhere?
    I didn't buy a better camera just to shoot in jpegs. This is a mission critical issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    I just bought a new Nikon D5000. I can't open the NEF files in any app(CS 8.0(yeah, I know)/Lightroom 2.3(just downloaded)/Aperture(just downloaded). I can only use Nikon software. What version of CS opens them, why doesn't a brand new version of Lightroom 2.3 do so?
    Because Lightroom 2.3 was released BEFORE the Nikon D5000 was ever even announced.  Support has been added for each specific model, and Adobe has to have images from the model in order to provide the support.  As far as your version of Photoshop is concerned, there will never be direct camera raw support for your camera.  As soon as Adobe announces an update that will support the D5000, you will be able to use the DNG converter (after it has been updated) to create Digital negative copies of the raw files from your camera.

  • Unsupported image format from Nikon D90 raw

    I am getting the message Unsuported image format when I download my Raw photos from my new Nikon D90 camera. The screen is red. I can not determine what I need to do to correct this problem. Please help.

    Thanks for the reply. I did update to the highest aperture 1.5.6, no go.
    That is what I was afraid of. I wasn't sure if there was a loop hole I was missing. I love using Aperture but since I just got adobe photoshop elements 8, I can't see paying more $ for an upgrade on aperture 3 when pse will do relatively the same thing. I always shoot in raw. Any other suggestions?
    BTW your wife will love the D90, it is an awesome camera. Just did a wedding with it and it did it all. Didn't even need my backup D50. You know what they say, If momma isn't happy, nobody is happy.

  • Cannot find raw converter plug in for CS3 / Nikon D90

    I was adviced to go to adobe.com and make a search for raw converter, and that gave me hundreds of results, but no converter plug in,
    Can someone give me a direct link
    Thanks

    You want the DNG converter from here
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4365
    It is not a plug-in but a standalone program which converts raw files to the DNG format that can be read in PS/Bridge.

  • Raw Update 2.3 + Nikon D90 = Wrong White Balance Temperature

    Hi folks. Wonder if someone has had a similar issue and/or has any insights.
    Here's the background:
    - Aperture 2.1.2 on OS 10.4.11
    - Downloaded/installed Raw Update 2.3
    - Imported ~800 NEFs from a D90
    - On ~15-20 NEFs, pictures show up blue (white balance at ~2500)
    - The affected NEFs are semi-randomly distributed among the ~800
    Here's why it's weird:
    - NEF displays correctly in Nikon View (the thumbnail and full picture)
    - NEF displays correctly in the Finder (the thumbnail)
    - NEF displays correctly in the preview and thumbnail *in Aperture* but only until the preview and thumbnail processing completes at which point they turn blue (this is why it's especially weird)
    - Peeking into the Aperture package, the NEF thumbnail shows up correctly but the preview and thumbnail files show up blue.
    If I delete the NEFs from Aperture, close down, and repeat I get the exact same problem on the exact same NEFs. This leads me to believe that there's something specific to the NEFs but it must also be linked to Aperture and more specifically, it's thumbnail/preview process since they show up fine in Nikon View, the finder and Aperture before the thumbnail/preview processing takes place.
    Obviously I can't downgrade to Raw Converter 2.1 or 2.2 since my files are from a D90, and I shoot in raw (not raw + jpeg) only so have been limping along with Nikon's software.
    Any ideas out there?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I simply can't see the NEFs.
    OS X 10.5.5
    Aperture 2.1.2
    Nikon D90
    Import runs fine, and the thumbs are there, but when opening a NEF a big thumb (7x4.5cm on the 24" screen) is displayed in the middle for a second, and then it turns into a dark red message "Unsupported Image Format".
    It's general - no NEFs work for me.
    I import directly into Aperture - do you import via the Nikon Software?
    Previously I had an Olympus E400 - the RAWs worked fine in Aperture (directly imported).
    My strange observations are:
    With the Olympus E400 (10MB) the size of the JPG files were 6-7MB and the RAW files (called .ORF) were 21MB.
    With the Nikon D90 (12.3MB) the size of the JPGs are around 6.5MB (4288x2848 pixels), but the size of the NEFs are just around 11MB (I did expect over 21MB) and the pixels are 256x170 (although the picture says 4288x2848 on the camera itself).
    I'm new to this support site - do Apple supporters take time to read our questions and join these discussions?

  • Unable to process RAW .PEF .DNG from Pentax K-7

    I have the latest updates. Camera Raw 3.1, Aperture 3.0.2, OS 10.6.3... when i first import the images I can process them as normal. My RAW adjustments are available. But then after a few minutes aperture will update them and it will say the file has been processed by an earlier version (which is a lie because I have never processed them before) and there's a button to "reprocess". The images will lose all adjustments and have a green hue... no boost or anything. This is happening with both .PEF and .DNG from my Pentax K-7... which is running firmware 1.3
    I've tried reinstalling aperture 3.0 but it's the same. I've also deleted raw camera 3.1 by:
    sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle
    and reinstalled... it's still the same.
    what gives?

    Hi, i have exactly the same issue on my computer, but with a Nikon D90. I just completely reinstalled system (OS, Aperture, Camera Raw) from scratch on new harddisk, no avail. Really mysterious, get indeed a weird green hue, and once image goes like this, there is no turning back. Still looking for solution as well - sorry!
