Unable to open NEF files in Photoshop Elements

I have recently purchased a Nikon 6100 and am unable to open the RAW files, saved in NEF format to Photoshop Elements 11 despite running all Adobe Updates.  Can anyone advise how I can do this please. Thanks

Hi Nh239,
Download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your NEF files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your original NEF’s as backups and for use in Nikon software)
Windows download click here DNG Converter 7.2
Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.2
You can convert a whole folder of NEF images in one click.
Thanks

  • I cannot open NEF files in Photoshop Elements 12.

    I cannot open NEF files in Photoshop Elements 12. It says not supported by installed version of Camera Raw. What do I do? Do I need Photoshop 13?

    NEF files from which camera? Every camera's NEF files are different.

    Will PE 7 open NEF files from Nikon D200, without additional plug-ins?
    I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and Nikon View to transfer images.

    No.
    You need the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in; download and install it and you'll be up and running in a few minutes.

  • Unable to open RAW files in Photoshop elements 5.0

    I am using Windows XP, camera is Nikon D80. When I try to download NEF files I receive an error that reads files did not transfer. Reason given reads incompatible format. I just downloaded program today and not really sure what I have done wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you.

    I have spoken to this gentleman again and I suspect his trouble has come from the copy of Elements 5 that he bought over the Internet. I think it was an incomplete copy. It doesn't seem to have included Bridge. Without the browser I doubt he would be able to see his RAW images.
    As it stands, when he double-clicks on a RAW image it opens in the RAW converter but he doesn't have the "Open with Bridge" option in the File menu. Consequently, he has no way to see thumbnails of his RAW images and he can't make wise decisions on which ones he wants to work on.
    I guess it goes without saying that if you get an especially great price on the Internet, something is wrong!

  • Unable to open Nikon 750 NEF files in Photoshop Elements 13

    I just got a Nikon D750 and I cannot open NEF files in Photoshop Elements 13 even when I download Camera Raw 9.0 and DNG Converter 9.0.  What can I do?

    This is a question for the Photoshop Elements forum. A moderator may find and move this tread for you.

  • Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6

    Unable to open AVI files in Photoshop CS6
    I am running PS6 and want to open and edit AVI files. When I try to do that I get an error message saying "the video file cannot be opened" . This seems to apply to ALL avis - yet I can open and edit MP4, MMV etc. I installed Gspot to track whether it was a codec issue and when I try to open ANY file I get this error message : "Warning: DirectShow crashed while GSpot was attempting to obtain information about a codec.  This is usually due to damaged, misconfigured, conflicting, or poorly written codec drivers.  It is possible, perhaps even likely, that other media players will crash when they attempt to play this file as well, as most of them will also use DirectShow.  GSpot was able to intercept the crash, and has attempted to identify the codec or filter involved; uninstalling or reinstalling this codec or filter may solve the problem.  The codec was tentatively identified as:  C:\Windows\system32\imaadp32.acm Unknown video codec #11" I have NO idea where to go from here. I see a site to download the "imaadp32.acm"  codec but what about the "Unknown video codec #11". What the heck is that and what do I do about it. Any help would be appreciate, Cliff
    ps I should add that the avi files DO open and play in Bridge. I have the latest Quicktime. Everything is up to date and PS and the computer is otherwise working perfectly !

    Thanks Curt and 'Mylenium'
    I did re-set the prefs - but to no avail
    I checked and my graphics driver and audio is all up to date.
    No sure how to verify Windows Media Player's hardware acceleration options. I opened WMP Options /Perfformance tab and under Cd the DirX tab is checked.
    Running Windows Vista - so does the same caution apply regarding a re-install of Windows Media Components and DirectX ?
    Appreciate your help with this somewhat frustrating issue. I am converting some old 8mm film to avi with the hope of doing some edits then burning to DVD.

  • I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

    I cannot open PDF files in Photoshop Elements as it is asking for a PDF Password?

    Is it possible that the creator of the files set a password? That's usually the only time PSE asks for one, although you may be able to open the file just fine in a pdf program that isn't password-aware.

    Subject: cant open xmp files in photoshop element 8
    An xmp file is not an image. Usually those are the files containing the settings used for raw conversion, any metadata keywords, and other data that PS/PSE can't write to the files themselves. If those really are all the files on your disc, contact the photographer, because it sounds like someone made a mistake.

  • Photoshopcs6  mac 0sx10.9 unable to open NEF files, already installed camera raw  DNG converter 8.6

    just installed photoshopcs6 running mac 0xs10.9 , installed DNG converter camera converter8.6 and still unable to open NEF files

    Which nikon camera are the nef files from?
    If you go to Photoshop>About Plug-In and click on the words Camera Raw, what version does it say?
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to the camera raw 8.6 plugin?
    (then you shouldn't have to use the dng converter, unless your nikon is a very new model)

  • Can't open .NEF files in Photoshop CS2

    Heres the deal: I've updated and installed my camera raw in Photoshop CS2, so I have the latest version of it (ACR 3.7). I still can not open my .NEF files in Photoshop and when I view the files from Bridge it shows the generic thumbnail image.
    Information that might help:
    PS Version: Photoshop CS2
    ACR Version: Camera Raw 3.7
    Camera: Nikon D60
    Operating Sys: Mac OSX
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    The D60 was not supported in ACR 3.7.  In fact, that version was the first to support the D40.  You will have to use the latest version of the DNG converter to convert your raw images to DNG.  Then you can open those files in ACR 3.7.

  • Can't open .NEF files in photoshop or RAW. Help!

    I was always able to open .NEF files in RAW when I had my old computer, but I just recently got a new computer and now I can't open them. Does anyone know how to change the settings so that I'm able to open these files in photoshop CS5 Extended/RAW?

    Try installing Camera Raw 6.7.1 manually

  • Unable To Open Any Files In Photoshop CC

    Hi All,
    I am unable to open any file formats in my trial version of Photoshop CC. This problem seems to occur daily and the only way to resolve it is by restarting my laptop?
    File formats I am trying to open include a new PSD file, old PSD files and also jpg files, png files and pdf files.
    I am using an HP ProBook laptop but not sure of the model number.
    Any help to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated and if anyone needs anymore information don't hesitate to ask me?
    Thanks

    Allyson,
    Another welcome here.
    Along with the answers to Trevor's questions, how are you attempting to Open those Image files, i.e. Dbl-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, or from the File>Open menu in the Toolbar? If you are using the former, please try the latter. If you want to work from Windows Explorer, Rt-click on the file, and choose Open With, then Photoshop.
    Your comment about WMP being the default viewing program, seems to indicate that your File Associations have been changed, with WMP now set as the target program. If this is the case, then you will likely want to go to Folder Options (check for your specific version of Windows), and reset the File Associations for, say PSD, PSB, JPEG, etc., to point to Ps.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Can I open raw files using photoshop elements

    Yes, depending on the Camera Model and version of PSE.
    All camera makers like to make slight changes to the RAW format for their new models. Adobe then take a few months to produce a camera RAW plug-in to process the new format.
    Give you PSE version and camera model and we could be more help.
