Using a Nikon Nef Raw file with PSE 9

I am just starting to look at the RAW capability of my Nikon D3100, it comes with software called View NX 2 which your supposed to use to deal with the RAW files etc, but I am wondering how good is PSE 9 when working with (Nikon's) Nef RAW files? Should I be using View NX 2 for this?
Thanks.

Both are good softwares but PSE gives you some extended capabilities of editing and organizing.

How to import Nikon Nef (raw Files) ?

Hello
I'm having problems importing Nikon Nef Raw files, PSE9 is displaying the message The file is damaged or file format
cannot be included. Any suggestions please.

You are going to need Adobe Camera Raw 6.3, but the only version that has been released is the Version 6.3 Release Candidate, which I don't think can be installed with PSE. You will have to wait until the final version of Adobe Camera Raw 6.3 is released.
The only workaround is to use the Version 6.3RC DNG Converter to convert your RAW files to DNG files, which can then be accessed by PSE.

Nikon nef raw files

hi guys first vsit to the forum but hopefully not last!
i use nikon d90 usually with nikons own capture nx2 software which is great for just tickling photos a bit before printing but sadly lacking on the creative side, so bought elements 7 , now the images straight from camera won`t open in elements but strangely i had scanned images in and altered in nx2 which open in raw in elements? after reading up some answers i tried changing 8bi plugins ( ie moving old one and putting new one in its place but still they won`t open !!!! which is a tad annoying . it might sound stupid but i still don`t know exactly which bits are in conflict anyone tried this with this camera combination cheers

yes i think this was my problem , i just got myself confused! when i went back and deleted everything then reinstalled it it was fine , but many thanks for bothering to help i`m sure i`ll be back on with more problems cheers john

As John explained, one of the key mistakes people make is not properly deleting the old plugin that is in the File Formats folder.
Please make sure/confirm that you deleted the old plug-in or moved it entirely out of the File FOrmats folder. Renaming them, or moving them to a subfolder of File Formats won't work.
This has nothing to do with installing camera profiles.

OS X Lion does not sort Nikon NEF (RAW) files...

After my upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion, I've noticed that Lion can't sort my Nikon NEF (RAW) files as it did in the past. It treats them like JPG images, no matter how I try to ARRANGE BY. Has anyone experienced this? Or perhaps know of a solution to fix it, as I shoot in both JPG and RAW with my Nikon D80 camera.
Thank you.

PathFinder is an alternative/complement to Finder.
It offers several choices including directories always on top followed by the files. Also split windows.
I use it and Finder - both have there places on my machines.
As a further note I found that on my MBA running Lion is is even crazier, Arrange by Kind scrambles the files in no obvious order.
Also looking at 10.6.8 I find that Arrange by KInd from the Action Button put the files in reverse alphabetical order by file type (NEFs before JPGs) while Arrange by Type from View in the Menu bar puts them in alphabetical order by file type.
I've had follow-up form Apple on my reporting of this....so we'll see what happens.

Can Photoshop Touch for iPad opens Nikon NEF RAW files? How?

Can Photoshop Touch for iPad opens Nikon NEF RAW files? How?

Hi. With the current PS Touch version RAW files are not supported for the PS Touch import.
You can vote for this idea which goes in to the same direction.

I need to find the download for ACR 7.3 to use my nikon d600 raw files. i have cs5 running on macboo

i need to find the download for ACR 7.3 to use my nikon d600 raw files. i have cs5 running on macbook pro with mountain lion OS.

Hi,
Unfortunatly the 7.x series of camera raw plugin is not compatible with photoshop cs5.
You could download the 7.4 DNG Converter and convert your d600 files to dng copies which then photoshop cs5 will open.

I cannot read Nikon D600 raw files with CS5

I cannot read Nikon D600 raw files with CS5, I have tried Camera Raw 6.1 update but that has not worked.

Nikon D 600 will work with ACR 7.3 which needs minimum of PS CS 6 : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
With PS CS 5, ACR 7.3 will not work.
So either you need to upgrade to CS 6 or use DNG converter to convert images to DNG format which you can open in CS 5

Can't Open NEF RAW files in PSE 6

I cannot open NEF RAW files in PSE 6. I downloaded the plugin but that didn't fix it. Any suggestions?

There is another choice.
You can download the free Adobe DNG Converter, then convert your RAWs to DNG, and then open them in the PSE6 Adobe Camera Raw editor. This doesn't require you updating your software to PSE9, or purchasing anything.

Photoshop CS4 will not open Nikon (NEF) raw files.

I recently tried CS6 Suite. Trial was over and I went back to Photoshop CS4. However, it would not open Nikon (NEF) raw files. I uninstalled and re-installed the PS CS4. This did not fix the problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks,

Problem importing NEF raw files in PSE 11

In the past week I have become unable to import Nikon raw files (NEF format) into PSE 11 editor. I seem to have the latest version of PSE 11 and the latest camera raw plug-in (7.4). All was working fine. I now get an error message "unable to use the camera raw plu-in. It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements".
Can anyone please help?
Many thanks.

Did you update via the Help> Updates menu option or by some other means?
Search your computer to make sure you only have the one copy of 'Camera RAW.8bi'. On my windows 7 64-bit it is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\Elements 11\File Formats\Camera Raw.8bi and is 24,719,736 bytes.
Are these NEF files from a newer Nikon camera? If so which one? Each camera has it's own NEF format (although the error message you get does not suggest this would be the problem)?
Cheers,
Neale

How to open Nikon D5300 Raw files in PSE 11? [was:Help Please]

With My old Nikon D90 Elements 8 would open raw files OK I now have a new Nikon D5300 and when trying to open a raw file it tells me that it is the wrong type of file Help Please
Andy

There isn't a generic nikon raw. Each camera has its own raw format and the camera raw plugin has to be updated every time a new camera comes out. The D5300 requires ACR 8.3, which is only compatible with PSE 12. So you have three options:
1. Upgrade to PSE 12.
2. Use the nikon software to convert the files and send the converted images to PSE for any further editing.
3. Download the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to create dng files that your version of camera raw can understand.

Importing Nikon NEF Raw files into iPhoto

Recently I purchased a Nikon D810 camera and have been trying out various settings to determine the quality of picture I can get. As a way to run through the test, I took pictures with different RAW (NEF) settings. I also took pictures in JPG format for comparison.
What I have found is that iPhoto (version 9.6) will import all of the JPG files but only the RAW files taken in the Large 14 bit or Large 12 bit format. It will not accept the RAW Small photos.
Has anyone run into this problem? And, if so, any ideas about how o address this?
I am using a Mac Pro for this work.
Thanks.

That is what Apple's RAW support page says, so you can do nothing about it:
OS X Yosemite: Supported digital camera RAW formats - Apple Support
See the footnote at
Nikon D4S†
Nikon D810†
Notes
†Nikon RAW L format only.

I can't import Nikon NEF (RAW) files. It says it doesn't recognize the file. Help.

I just installed Nikon Transfer and then View NX2 with Nikon Transfer 2 and successfully transferred over 300 RAW (Nikon NEF) files from my camera (Nikon D600) but Lightroom (v5.6) won't import them. It says it doesn't recognize the files. How can I resolve this?

Obsolete versions of Nikon software corrupt Nikon raw files slightly making them unrecognized in Adobe products.
You can reverse this corruption by using the utility from the following webpage:
http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/fix_corrupted_nef.html
Basically you need to use Nikon software that is at least as new as your newest camera or don’t use Nikon software at all.

Nikon NEF raw files show up in Bridge as "Untagged RGB"

I have a D700 and shoot in the AdobeRGB color space. However when I click on a picture in Bridge, the Metadata window shows "Untagged RGB". Why is Bridge showing inaccurate file information, and, I assume, not interpreting and displaying the picture with correct colors?

Charles,
Raw files don't have colorspaces so the "Untagged" is essentially correct in that case. You select the colorspace when the raw file is developed, such as in Adobe Camera Raw.
Now, both Nikon and Canon allow colorspace to be selected in-camera and they will use this colorspace if Jpegs are being created.
In the case of raw files from the camera, I believe that the PC/Mac software provided by both manufacturers (Capture NX2 for Nikon?) will pick up a special flag from the file to set the default colorspace for the developed raw file to what was selected in camera. I am not sure about this though. Adobe Camera Raw, however, ignores those flags if they exist. In ACR, it will default to the colorspace last used for raw developing.
