Using Nikon D5200 NEF images in PSE

Hi
I currently have PSE8 which will not read the NEF images from my Nikon D5200. I know that I can use the Adobe DNG Convertor 7.3 to convert them to DNG outside of PSE8 then work with the DNG images in PSE8. However, I would prefer, if possible, to work directly with the NEF images as a plugin.
This article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
states that the current PSE11 can only support the Raw Camera Plugin up to 7.2. This article:
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
indicates that the Nikon D5200 requires the Raw Camera Plugin 7.3.
Q1 - Based on the above am I therefore correct that it is not currently possible to use Nikon D5200 NEF images directly in any currently available PSE?
Q2 - If, the answer to Q1 is Yes does anyone have a feel for whether its likely in the next version of PSE? Or would I have to save up for the full Photoshop program to do what I want?
Thanks

Yes, photoshop elements 11 supports camera raw 7.3
You should be able to update pse 11 to camera raw 7.3 by going to Help>Updates from within the pse 11 editor if you should decide to trial and/or purchase pse11.

    I'm having troubles converting my raw files from Nikon D5200 (NEF) to DNG. I tried using Lightroom 4, but it didn't identify the folder containing the files. So i downloaded the latest DNG converter but that too didn't identify the files kept in the folder location. So I downloaded DNG converter v7.3 for D5200. It identifies the folder and files; but it is giving me parsing error on trying to convert files. I'm running Windows Vista Home Edition SP1. Kindly advise. Thank you.

    I probably missed this detail in what you’ve posted, but do you see the thumbnails of the three cameras’ raw files in Finder if you don’t convert to DNG?
    What has happened in the past is that the Apple raw interpreter doesn’t read thumbnails of DNGs it doesn’t like, where at least one thing it didn’t used to like was embedded lens corrections for mirrorless cameras.  Are the Olympus and Panasonic mirrorless—meaning there is no optical viewfinder and everything is seen on an LCD screen or perhaps an electronic view finder?  If so the reason these are different is that the camera is doing the lens distortion corrections automatically and this information is stored in the raw files and in the DNGs but Apple doesn’t know how to use these embedded lens corrections or doesn’t know how to read the newer DNG spec that does allow for this information to be embedded in the DNG, at least.
    Apple could just extract the embedded jpg preview and ignore the other parts of the file it doesn’t understand, but it apparently doesn’t do this.
    What I’m not sure about is if the Apple raw interpreter still has this problem or if you’re on an older system without the latest updates for camera raw decoding by Apple.

  • Rendering of Nikon D800 NEF images still slow in LR 5.2

    Hi,
    I just checked whether the update to 5.2 would improve speed of rendering images in the Develop module for Nikon D800 NEF files but alas, LR is still taking its time to render images and going back and forth between two or more D800 NEF files to check focus at 100% magnification remains an excercise in meditation....
    I had initially hoped that the move from LR 4.x to LR 5 would improve things but this wasn't the case - so when will Adobe finally catch up with the development in cameras with ever bigger files? The Nikon D800 came out one full year ago...
    Has anyone looked into this issue and found workarounds (for instance by using the new Smart previews)?
    Cheers!

    Yes - speed is improved by using smart previews. Contrary to how some people think it should be, you may need to take them offline for maximum performance benefit, but note: when doing so you will no longer be able to view at 100% magnification. - try it and please report any differences you find, or don't find...
    There are some system issues that may affect performance too, but trying to lay them all out here is beyond scope for me, and anyway has been done in numerous other threads.
    PS - Consider giving numbers so other D800 users (or equivalent resolution) can help give you a feel for whether you're experiencing normal slow or abnormal slow.

  • IMac won't show Nikon D800 NEF image files.

    Nikon D800 NEF files will transfer from my Nikon D800 to my iMac. They will show as a "list" in the folder that I transfer them to.  They will not show as thumbnails, nor open with "image preview".  Tiff and JPEGs will transfer and show as thumbnails and open with all my processing programs.  The NEF's will also not open in Adobe Lightroom.  I need to be able to see the thumbnails on my iMac. Everything worked until I installed Snow Leopard.
    I have:
    Photoshop CS6 13.0  64 bit
    Camera Raw 7.1.0.354
    Snow Leopard OSX 10.6.8

  • Which versions of elements support Nikon Raw (NEF) Images

    Looking for a plugin for Elements 10 that will import and process Nikon NEF (Raw) images without any additional programs. Or is there a version that has that support.

    You would need to use the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.3 or later) to convert your NEFs to DNG.
    Or you could purchase PSE 12

  • Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture version 3.6 on Yosemite?

    Has anyone had trouble manipulating Nikon D750 raw image (NEF) in Aperture (version 3.6 500021000000000.3, Digital Camera RAW 6.0 - Build 761.5, Digital Camera RAW support 6000 - Build 136.1)
    I used to be able to manipuplate Nikon Raw (NEF) images from a Nikon D70 and D3200 using Aperture, until the 70 died and the 3200 was stolen about 18 months ago. Recently I did two things: (1) I upgraded OS X to Yosemite and (2) purchased a Nikon D750.  I have successfully imported NEF files from the camera to Aperture, but the images do not render/ cannot be opened/ manipulated. Instead, I see a black thumbnail for each imported image with a cassette recorder play icon in the center of each image. 
    I can view the NEF image in Finder preview mode, either directly when viewing the images on the camera SD card or after exporting the previously imported NEF image from Aperture to my desktop or user folder.  Previously imported NEF image seem unaffected.
    thanks.
    D.

    The current Apple OSX 10.10 Yosemite and the current Aperture version 3.6 do not have support yet for importing Nikon d750 nef/raw files. It usually takes Apple six to eight weeks to release a new digital camera raw update file for new Nikon dslr models. Once that digital camera raw update file is finally released, update your current version of Aperture and that will allow you to import your d750 raw files. In the meantime, you have many workarounds. In my opinion, the easiest is to save images in duplicate nef/raw and jpeg image files to your SD cards.
    And for now, just import the jpegs to Aperture 3.6 from your d750.  Process your jpegs in Aperture - and hope your clients are happy with the jpegs and can wait for later nef/raw image processing. Be sure to save and do not erase your original SD cards that include the nef/raw and jpeg files - then when Aperture finally releases a new digital camera raw file update that includes the d750 - just insert your original camera SD cards into the computer platform and import the old d750 nef/raw files and edit/process them.
    There are many other ways to proceed in the interim as well. You can always import your d750 nef/raw images into Lightroom (if it has been updated to convert the d750 nef files) and process them there. But for the time being, if you can afford to save and hold onto your original SD cards and wait for the inevitable Aperture digital camera raw update, this is a very easy and simple way to proceed.

  • Nikon D5200 raw files

    I have an old version of Photoshop (CS5.1) that will never read my new camera's raw files, so I'm looking to buy Lightroom. I've downloaded the trial version just to see if it works. I've also downloaded the DNG 8.3 converter. Lightroom does not read the files. The DNG converter doesn't read the files.

    Lightroom 5.3 and DNG Converter 8.3 should have no problems with Nikon D5200 NEF raw files. Are there error messages?
    A possible cause of the problem is that some version of Nikon software modify the photo file header so that Adobe software cannot recognize the files. If you are using Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer, try using Adobe software or your operating system to transfer the photos from camera card directly to your computer. If the photos are no longer on the camera card but only on your computer somewhere, the files can be repaired so that Adobe software can recognize them, see http://forums.adobe.com/message/6181267#6181267

    I am having difficulty opening raw images with my version of photoshop CS3 extended. I have a Nikon D5200 which according to adobe it is supported but when I try to download a camera raw patch 8bi it wont recognise the file format.Can anyone offer a solution which will enable me to use photoshop with my D5200 when shooting in raw? I have windows 7 operating system.

    Thank you for your help I have already downloaded ACR 8.7 and tried to download DNG converter will have to back track on this as didnt recognise the file when I downloaded it. is the problem now that I need to change my files to DNG from NEF files before opening in photoshop?
    Please be patient as I seem to have got the jist of the problem but not sure the converter is on my computer what should I be looking for?

  • NIKON D5000 NEF - Lightroom 2.6 and PSE show colors quite differently from what Nikon Software show

    With my Nikon D5000 DSLR camera, I took recently photos from small blue flowers. I had set-up my Nikon D5000 to create for every photo both a NEF File and a JPEG File (and had set my camera to use Automatic While Balance). 
    I noticed that for NEF Files Lightroom 2.6 (and also PSE 7, that uses internally Camera RAW ) shows me the blue colors of the flowers quite differently from what I see with PSE for the jpeg file. It is my impression, that it is in the Jpeg files, that the blue color is close to the reality; and  that it is with the NEF Files that Lightroom and PSE show a blue color that is quite different from the reality.
    I also looked at the photo files with the NIKON "View Nx" 1.3.0 Software that came with my camera. With "View Nx" the blue colors (both with the NEF file and the Jpeg File) are very vlose that what i see with PSE 7 in the jpeg file (and quite different from what I see with LR and PSE for the .NEF File).
    I mentioned this problem to Nikon Support. They suggested, that Nikon Software and Adobe software use different algorithms; and that the Nikon algorithms are better/closer adapted to the Nikon cameras than the more generalized Adobe algorithms that need to support a very large number of cameras.
    But ....it is Lightroom that i wish to use to process my NEF Files and PSE that I wish to use to organize my Photos. Can a LR/Camera-RAW expert help me? I would like to find a solution to see with LR and with PSE in my D5000 NEF Photo Files blue colors that are close to the reality and close to what Nikon Software shows me on my PC. Please notice that I am very far away from being a professional and that i will probably not understand complicated explanations.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    An additional note, that is perhaps not relevant: I used LR to convert my NEF File into a JPEG File format and looked at the blue in the result. It looks the same as what LR and PSE show me for the .NEF File (and looks different from the jpeg file crreated by the NIKON camera).

    EJ and Jim
    Thank You very much for your useful feedback.
    I realize, that as a neophit I am an exot among the community of photo-experts and photo-professionals addressed by LR.  Therefore the wish that I will now express is perhaps inadequate. But since it is gently, that i express this wish, I am probably allowed to do so......
    My wish for a future version of LR, is that LR comes out of the box with a "reasonable" interpretation of the RAW images of most important/widespread modern cameras....without requiring that non-experts like me gets confronted from the very beginning with the need to develop their own default settings.
    For this wish, I will formulate a Feature Request.
    You might wonder, why a non-expert like me is interested in LR instead of  using those Photo-Editing Software (e.g. PSE) that are supposed to address the need of non-experts. Well..... I am coming from the PSE world. I am reasolnably happy with the PSE Organizer....but  I hate the complex, inefficient, unfriendli "user-interface" (experts will probably tell: workflow-interface?) of the PSE Editor. Its really a last-century Software. LR is so much more friendly, even for non-experts...within the Library Module, i do not need to switch back and forth between one dialogue-window for each type of change.... nearly all what i need is in that one right-hand pane of the Library module.
    I honestly believe, that Adobe should take a serious look at promoting/marketing  LR also to the audience of non-experts. That would be a good and attractive additional marketing opportunity for LR.

  • When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

    When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

    Hi Jdentremont,
    Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
    the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
    deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
    To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
    1.  Navigate to
     “X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
    You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
    2. Delete all the files in this folder.
    3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
    5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
    Best regards,
    Eric

  • Using the Nikon RAW NEF format and Nikon Capture NX.

    This is about using the RAW NEF format in Aperture together with RAW NEF capable editing programs, specifically Nikon Capture NX.
    I basically agree with Aperture that it is a "workflow tool" and NOT a photo editor with all the bells and whistles of Photoshop or Nikon Capture. Apple fixed the most basic level of NEF conversion with version 1.1, great!
    However, as a workflow tool for RAW images, I cannot seem to figure out how to use RAW (Nikon's NEF) files efficiently with the new Nikon Capture NX.
    Nikon Capture NX is quite an interesting alternative to Photoshop. (I cannot wait or the Universal version, as with Photoshop, but that is another matter.) I like the work flow idea it uses, and I like that it edits the RAW NEF files directly, layering the edits on the RAW data. If I open an edited NEF file in Photoshop using the Nikon Plug-in, the result looks great. If I open the same file with Aperture (or using the Adobe RAW plugin) the result is basically an unedited version of the RAW NEF file. This is very disappointing.
    It seems I need to export the file from Nikon Capture as a TIFF or JPG. The TIFF gives good results but takes up about 10x more disc space. With the JPG I must give up the 16-bit per channel color depth. Neither allow me to have a "RAW workflow" as advertised by Aperture.
    What am I missing? Is this something Apple is going to work on by working more closely with Nikon (and Cannon)? (I figure Nikon keeps their conversion algorithms secret.)
    Or are we out of luck here?

    How do I know? Well if you change the white balance settings in-camera, different numbers come thru in Aperture. But the numbers in Aperture, ACR and the presumed numbers in-camera do not match. I wrote Nikon about this quite a while ago and they wrote back saying we do not know how other people interprete our proprietary WB numbers. See note below for additional insight as how you might look further into it
    "The shooting data I referenced is available in Nikon View Browser when viewing your images. Looking at all the images at once, it is easy to compare changes made to the camera by quickly clicking on the separate thumbnails. They displayed the differences I had mentioned before. If you do not already have the software, you can download it here:
    Title: Nikon View 6.2.7 Full Version - Windows
    URL: http://support.nikontech.com/cgi-bin/nikonusa.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=13760&pcreated=1131989543
    Nikon Capture will not report a temperature value for White Balance, unless a manual Kelvin setting is selected using the option in the D200. As I mentioned before, Auto White Balance, and other Auto settings in the camera may not deliver a consistent result in a burst or as separate still frames even if the subject has not moved or changed. You have a cast on that one image using Auto White Balance. This is not uncommon, just choose a different value. The value may not even accurately reflect what situation you are in. It may be sunny, and you choose cloudy. The White Balance is not measuring the ambient light, it's used to measure the temperature of the light reflecting off your subject. The closer your subject is to white, the closer the value. This is why a preset is taken with a white or neutral gray card.
    Since Auto White Balance covers a wide range of temperature, the exact value is not recorded anywhere that I know of. In addition, all White Balance temperatures are approximate values, as per the manual page 35. Having a cast on an image while using Auto White Balance is very possible, just choose another value more suited to the ambient light.
    Set the White Balance to K , and capture an image, and this will be reported by the shooting data in Nikon Capture. I have no idea whether ACR is reporting an accurate value or not, we do not support that software, but check this value against what you see in there software."

  • In the trial version of LR5, my NEF images (taken with a Nikon D7100) are not visible

    I downloaded the trial version of LR5, then imported a set of images, shot with my new Nikon D7100, and saved as both JPEG and NEF on the memory card.  When I imported them to LR, the JPEG images are visible but the NEF images are grey squares--although the image info (date, size, etc) show when the cursor hovers over the square.  When I click on one of the NEF squares to open the image, "Could not read preview" appears instead of the image. I've used earlier LR versions and never encountered this problem so I have no idea what is going on.

    Personally, I don't understand why anyone uses that utility to download their images. The import dialog in Lightroom works perfectly to do that transfer. I don't know if Nikon Transfer is the culprit since you are using a newer version. But here is a link to a utility that you can use that is supposed to correct the problem caused by using Nikon Transfer. I have never used it, but have seen it recommended. I also have never used Nikon Transfer to download files from my Nikon cameras.
    Fix Corrupted Nikon NEF Images

  • Cannot see Raw Nikon NEF images in finder windows

    I had a problem with my Macbook pro so I had to re-install the operating system, which is Leopard.
    Now I can't see the my Nikon NEF images in the finder windows, they only show the jpeg pictures.
    I remember this was a problem over a year ago and somehow I resolved it, but I can 't remember how. I'm doing the usual thing such as click VIEW - OPTIONS - ALWAYS OPEN IN ICON VIEW - but this does not seem to work.
    Can anyone remind me what to do?

    The issue should only occur if you shoot raw. Currently OS X can only display/read certain RAW camera formats. These are OS level, meaning iPhoto, Preview, Mail, Aperture and others are effected. However adobe products are different because they use Adobe Camera RAW.
    I would expect JPEGs TIFFs and PSDs, both thumbnails and files, to view fine. RAW files will not view from the D300, but the D200 is supported.
    There is no way of knowing when support for the (not-so-)new files will be available. Rumor has it it will be 10.5.2, but only Apple knows that. You can head on over to the Aperture forum and read to see if some have work-arounds.

  • Nikon d5200 raw files will not open in PSE 10

    I am currently using PSE 10 and have just upgraded my camera to a Nikon d5200 from a d5100.  I cannot open the raw files for the d5200.  Do I need a more up to date PSE or can you suggest which plug in update I require.
    Thank you

    Sorry if it's in the wrong place but I have not used this bofore and thought it was going to costomer service person.  If yo tell me how to delete it I will.

  • Nikon D5200 raw files will not open in PSE 11

    I recently purchased a Nikon D5200 and I could not open the raw files in Elements 9. I downloaded all updates for Camera Raw and it still did not work. I found a question/answer with the same problem and it recommended updating the DNG Converter or purchasing Elements 11. I did both and I still get a message that my camera model is not supported by the Camera Raw version I have. I verified per the website it is supported. Why can't I open my files?

    Nikon Transfer V1.x corrupts newer Nikon camera images as far as reading with Adobe software.  ViewNX2 should be ok, as long as it’s the newest version.
    Can you upload one of your non-working images to www.dropbox.com and post a public download link for it, so others can try, and see if it works on their systems or not?  This would help narrow down if it is something wrong with the Adobe software install on your computer or something wrong with the image data in the NEF, itself.
