Why can Lightrooms not view my NEF(RAW) File taken from my Nikon D5500?

I have a Nikon D5500 and viewing a JPEG is fine. If I change my file format to NEF(RAW) when importing files lightroom cannot view them. It gives me a box to check for updates but I have to most recent version. Ver:5.7.1.
A few weeks ago I used my friends Nikon D5300 and the RAW files were perfectly fine.

It's a new camera model that was released in that "hole" between Lightroom releases. But you can download the DNG converter version 8.8 and convert that NEF files to DNG. I know, it's a Band-Aid fix. But it will work in the meantime while we wait for the next Lightroom update or upgrade.

I recently purchased Elements 13 for Mac-OS and cannot download N-OS and cannot download NEF-RAW files taken on my Nikon D5500. The model is not listed among those supported by Elements, but the D5300 is, which is nearly identical. Is there any quick fix?

What is N-OS?
For the camera raw problem, every new camera has its own raw format and ACR must be updated to include it. That hasn't happened yet for the D5500, so you'll just have to use the Nikon software till Adobe gets the info and releases an updated version of ACR. It's not unusual to be in your situation if you buy a camera model that's only been out a month. You just have to wait a bit.

Lightroom not reading my NEF/RAW files

I have Adobe Lightroom version 3.5. When importing my RAW/NEF files, lightroom says my "the following files could not be imported because they cannot be read." I use the option "convert files to DNG" upon import.
Any help?? I have a Nikon D5100.

The default in Lightroom is to copy the files to the pictures folder (which generally has the right permissions) in your home directory but that is something that you generally choose in the import dialog so you should check where Lightroom is trying to copy the files to. If it gives this error on import, I would check whether the raw files are OK on the memory card itself. Copy one over using the finder (so don't use Lightroom as an intermediate) to your harddisk and double click on it to open it in preview.app. If this is one of those cameras that does not support mass storage mode so that it doesn't show up in the finder, use the system included Image Capture app (in the /Applications/Utilities folder). Opening the file in preview will use the system libraries to render the raw files and will check whether the file was corrupt to start with on the memory card.

Thank you for your response. I fixed the problem by simply importing the
images using windows rather than the Nikon Transfer.

I've been using Elements 10 on my windows 7 machine editing RAW/NEF picture files taken with a Nikon D40X camera with no problems. I upgraded my camera to a Nikon DX7100 and can no longer load my RAW/NEF into elements 10. Is there a compatability problem

I've been using Elements 10 on my windows 7 machine editing RAW/NEF picture files taken with a Nikon D40X camera with no problems. I upgraded my camera to a Nikon DX7100 and can no longer load my RAW/NEF into elements 10. Is there a compatability problem with my new camera? Will upgrading elements to a newqer version solve the problem?

NEF's for the D7100 should work with the latest version PSE13

Why can't I open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200 in Elements 10?

Is there a fix in the works that will allow me to open RAW files taken with my Nikon D3200?

Actually the 7.1 camera raw update covers the D3200, but for whatever reason adobe has denied users of pse 10 that update.
Maybe it will still be released, but to me something else seems to be up, because in the past the latest version of elements (at least on windows) was always updated
to the latest version of camera raw at the same time photoshop was.
In the meantime you could download the 7.1 DNG converter to convert your files to dng copies which will then open in pse 10.

I know this stinks, but other than using the camera makers or aftermarket raw programs (lightroom), that's the best i can suggest for now.

This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

Why it is not possible to open raw files

I have tranferred som NEF RAW files to an external harddisk, and now I can't open them i Elements9. Anyone know why?

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Which camera (make & model) produced the raw files?
Did you import the raw files and see them in elements before you transferred them?
What error message do you see when you try to open the files you have transferred?
The most likely reason is that you transferred the files outside of elements and therefore broke the links. You should see a message about missing files in this case.

How to open NEF(RAW) files transferred from old computer.

I have Elements 10 with latest updates on a new computer(Windows 7). I transferred my picture files from my old computer (XP) that were in My Pictures. Old computer had Elements 3. I can't seem to open NEF files in Elemnets 10. On old computer I was able to highlight a NEF file and then select Open with Elements. I don't see that option with WINDOWS 7. How can I open NEF(RAW) files. Also the thumbnails of the transferred files are not created in Elements 10 organizer. How can I accomplish that?

Hi,
For opening the NEF files you could try the suggestions in this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/929848?tstart=0
Thumbnails not created: Do you mean there are no thumbnails or just big question marks?
Does the organizer show a count of items in the bottom left of the window?

Using Lightroom 5.7, Raw files become from my Nikon D810 become corrupted when I select them to view or edit.

.Updated to Lightroom 5.7 to accommodate the Nikon D810. Upon importing RAW files to the files become corrupted when they are selected to be viewed or edited.
I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, with 8 GB Ram.
Any help would be appreciated.

There are several likely sources of corruption, and video card would be far down on my list of possible suspects.
The transfer from camera card to hard disk is the most likely place for problem, either the card reader or USB cable can go bad. Another likely source of problems is the computer's hard disk is starting to fail. The camera card itself may be bad. And lastly, the memory in the computer may be malfunctioning.

Why is Lightroom 5.3 corrupting my RAW files?

Running on my MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.5, sporadic RAW files are now being corrupted between the time I 'Backup LR' at day's end shutdown, and then open LR the next day to continue working.
A RAW image file that was perfect the day before, now appears with the warning "The file appears to be unsupported or damaged." across it in the 'Develop' module screen.
When upgrading to 5.0 (5.3 now) two weeks ago, I followed exactly the 'best practices' guidelines of Michael Reichman/Jeff Schewe LR5 video tutorial.
I've been a LR user since the very beginning, and have been shooting professionally for 30 years. What in the world is going on with Adobe that for the first time in my career, I am losing image files due to corruption w/in Lightroom?!?

Try opening the files in preview to see if it is Lightroom that is confused (i.e. catalog corruption). Also check your backup files with preview whether they open. Also check whether you have correct permissions on the folder the files are in. Incorrect permissions there sometimes leads to error messages in Lightroom. It is quite unlikley that Lightroom is damaging your files. It is usually hardware problems like a harddisk going bad if your files are becoming corrupted. Lightroom as a rule does not write to your files (except maybe if they are dngs and you have "automatically write changes into xmp" turned on. Run Disk Utility on the drive to see if there are any issues that the OS can fix. If this is your startup disk, you might have to boot from the recovery partition to repair any damage.

Why can't i save an edited .raw file as a .jpg

I am using PSE 10 and with other catalogs i had no problem of editing my .raw files (6.7version) and then opening them and after further editing doing a "save as" and saving it as a .jpg file in a version set.
now I am working with another set of picture files and when i try to save the final edited it suggests:
ed-1.psd and the drop down menue also lists: psd, pdd, pse, .raw, png and TIFF.(there are no layers in the file)
search of FAQ was unsuccessful. I have avague recollection of having this similar problem years ago with other earlier versions of PSE but can't remember the solution. This is my first instance of this problem. Other info that may help is i believe this is a "converted catalog" from PSE 8. I am running on WIN 7 Prof, 64 bit
Appreciate any help
Dan Y
I went back to a previous different catalog>same computer, same PSE10 and selected a previous version set consisting of the original >raw file and the saved edited file ed-1.jpg and selected the original .raw file, opened full edit, it opens in ARW 6.7 as before, then opened the file in the PSE10 editor and tried to save as a .jpg ( which i obviously did in the last few days at most)(no changes made to computer or programs) and it WOULD NOT OPEN AS A .jpg AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.
HOPE THIS HELPS

You are possibly working with a 16 bit image. Before clicking the Open Image button in the camera raw dialog change the drop down to 8 bit and you should then be able to save as jpeg.
