Unable to see RAW NEF image from Nikon D300 in CS3

Have Camera Raw Plug-in Version 4.0 in my PS CS3 and am not able to see images from my recently purchased used Nikon D300.  I have no problems seeing the NEF images downloaded from my Nikon D80.  I typically download the images from my camera thru Lightroom 2.4.   Do I need a more recent Camera Raw Plug-in?  I want to make sure I'm still compatible with LR.   Any suggestions will be hellpful.

Yes, you are outdated with the RAW plug in and probably not able to use the
correct version that supports your camera.
You have two options:
1- upgrade to CS4 and benefit from all other good this has to offer
2- If you won't or can't upgrade use the DNG route, DNG is a free offered
(by Adobe) converter. The latest DNG converter will convert your D300 files
to the open DNG format which will show your RAW (then as DNG but still the
same quality) files and you will be able to use it in CS3.
There is lot's of information about in on this page:

  • I am unable to import Raw still images from a Nikon D 80 into Premiere Pro cs 4. All jpeg images ok

    I am unable to Import RAW still Images from a Nikon D 80 camera into
    Premiere Pro. All jpeg images import Ok. A web search suggests I need "plug-ins" for RAW, but I can not find  same. Any suggestions as to how to inport RAW files to PP CS 4 would be appreciated. I have just updated from Premiere Elements 4 which had no problem importing RAW still images.

    The way I see it (correct me if I'm wrong) but Raw is supposed to be where you have total editing control of the shot (as opposed to the camera). I believe the next step is to do the editing (i.e. color balance, exposure, etc) then make a regular image from that to use in whatever output you desire (print, web, etc.) Think of raw as the negative. Just being in raw doesn't in it self make it better.
    Edit. This is from premiere help files....
    Supported still‑image and sequence file formats
    Adobe Premiere Pro supports 8-bit per-channel (4 bytes per pixel) and 16-bit per-channel (8 bytes per pixel) still-image files. It converts images with lower bit-depths to 8-bits per channel and images with higher bit-depths to 16-bits per channel on import. High bit-depth files are supported at one single-precision float per channel (16-bytes per pixel).

  • 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.

  • Opening NEF images from Nikon D3X in CS6

    How do I open NEF images from my Nikon D3X in CS6?

    A D3X only needs 5.3 ACR or better.  So you it should work just fine.
    In Windows click Help/about plug ins/camera raw to see if it is loaded.

  • Elements 6.0 won't open RAW *nef files from Nikon D40 - help!

    I tried to open *nef files from a D40.  Even though I selected RAW files in the open file menu, AE6 gives me an error message and won't open the files.
    How can I get these files to open with AE6?

    Hmm, that usually indicates that you need to get a newer version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.  But according to this tech note:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    the D40 needs at least ACR 3.7.   PSE 6 ships with 4.2, so you should be able to open them.
    I suggest following the troubleshooting steps in this tech note, which will likely have you update your ACR:

  • Import of RAW (NEF) files from Nikon D 90

    Hi there:
    > I am new to lightroom and just got a 30 days trial version. I desperately try to import directly RAW (NEF) files into lightroom 2. I have downloaded Adobes latest RAW converter. I also checked all available support areas (hope at least I found them all and also read Adobe's and Nikon's memorandum of understanding of working closer together in the future, but I am looking for help now..) I use a MacBook Pro Leopard...
    Can anybody help?

    You will need the 2.1 RC1 beta to use the D90 files. I don't know if you can
    patch the trial or not.

    You can download the beta 2.1 there.

  • RAW (NEF) files from Nikon D3200

    I previously had a D3000 and was able to open NEF files in Elements 9 with ACR. Now, Having upgrade to a D3200, Elements 9 won't open or even recognise the NEF files. I have contacted Nikon, but they say that the files from the D3200 are 'not compatible' !!! Has anyone else had the same problem and found an answer other than using Nikon's own View NX2?
    Lawson.

    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 7.4
    Mac download click here DNG Converter 7.4
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • Opening RAW (NEF) images

    When I open RAW (NEF) images from my Nikon D50 I don't get the detailed box described in "Adobe Help." I get a much more abbreviated box with many fewer options. How can I get the more complete box?

    Make sure you have the correct version of ACR (or the DNG converter*) for your model of camera.
    See http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    * you need this if the ACR version required for your camera is later than the last one that worked with CS2 (which was 3.x).

  • Is there a patch to enable Photoshop Elements 10 to import NEF images from a Nikon 7100?

    I bought a Nikon 7100.  The NEF files taken with the Nikon 7100 cannot be imported into the organizer.  The error message is "the files selected to import did not contain any supported file types.  The file is damaged or is in a format that cannot be included in Elements Organizer."  The file is not damaged as the Nikon NX 2 program had no problem importing the images.  Elements 10 was able to import raw NEF files from my D90 with no problem.  Is there a patch to enable Elements 10 to recognize the format of Nikon 7100 raw NEF images?  If not, is there another photoshop product that will import NEF images from a Nikon 7100? 

    For the 7100 PSE11 or PSE12 will work as support was added in ACR 7.4.
    Cheers,

  • 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).

    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.

  • Viewing Raw files (.NEF) from Nikon D300 in Preview (OS X 10.4.11)

    Hi,
    I can't view Raw (.NEF) files from my new Nikon D300 dSLR in Preview. I can view the ones from my older D70. I put this question on a photography forum, and the problem seems to be with the OS. The D300 and D3 are new and popular cameras. I have no other particular reason to upgrade to 10.5 yet - is there likely to be an upgrade to 10.4, or Preview, or a plug-in or something, that will solve this? (BTW I have no problem opening these files in Lightroom, but I like to use Preview to browse).
    Richard

    Richard,
    Did you ever find a way around this? I am in the same boat. I use CS3 and Lightroom to view and edit the D3 raw images but would like to be able to preview them quickly with Preview or Photo Reviewer software which depends on the OS raw converter support.
    The newest OS update available on March 20 still doesn't fix the problem. Maybe Apple will offer another update soon??

  • RAW (NEF) photos from my new Nikon D750 will not open with Photoshop Elements11 Camera RAW.

    RAW (NEF) photos from my new Nikon D750 will not open in Camera RAS with Photoshop Elements 11. This has not been a problem with previous Nikon cameras. I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.9.5. How can I solve this problem?  Thanks.

    Aside from upgrading to pse 13, you can use the 8.7.1 adobe dng converter to convert the files to dng copies, which pse 11 should then open.

  • I cannot open my raw NEF files from my Nikon d3200.  can anyone help me?

    I believe you need PSE11 with the Camera Raw plug-in 7.1 or newer.

  • LR2.7 does not bring up images from Nikon D7100

    LR 2.7 does not bring up images from Nikon D7100 which I have just purchased.  I have downloaded latest DNG raw converter 7.4 but does not work.  The images come through fine in Bridge but not Lightroom.  What is the problem?

    Since camera makers insist on their own proprietary file formats, Adobe must provide support for each new camera as it is introduced. When a new version of Lightroom is released all development and support for the previous version ends. Your camera wasn't even mentioned or introduced when Lightroom 2.7 was released. Consequently, there can be no support for it. When you buy the newest camera model you should expect to also buy updated software to support that camera. In any event, the raw processing in the latest version of Lightroom is so far superior to what you have you really need to upgrade your Lightroom. You might consider using the Lightroom 5 beta until the official release.
    Are you sure the DNG converter doesn't work? You only point it to the folder containing your raw files. The DNG converter doesn't list the contents of the folder. You will only see a list of your NEF files after you click the button to convert them.
