Why won't Elements 11 accept NEF files from my D810?

I just purchased a D810 and cannot upload NEF files to Elements 11. I have a D7000 that uploads NEF with no problems. I get through the loader okay, but when it attempts to load to Organizer I get an error message stating "Nothing was imported. The file(s) or folder(s) selected to import did not contain any supported file types, or the files are already in this catalog".
For the reason, I get a repeating message for each file stating, "The file is damaged or is in a format that cannot be included in Elements Organizer."
JPG files from the D810 upload okay.

Hi,
Each camera model has it's own variant of the raw file. The raw file from the D810 is slightly different from the D7000 raw file and so Adobe has to release a new version of Camera Raw to read the new files.
The D810 requires Camera Raw 8.6 which is not compatible with Photoshop Elements 11.
You have two main choices
1) Buy Photoshop Elements 13
2) Use the free DNG converter to take the NEF files and converts them to DNG files (a universal raw format) - the DNG files can then be used by Photoshop Elements 11
Both these solutions will not work on the old operating system like XP or Vista.
DNG Converter 8.8:

Why won't elements accept my youtube credentials?

Why won't elements accept my youtube credentials?

There have been problems with sites such as YouTube, Smugmug and Facebook.
Unfortunately Adobe is behind the curve when it comes to social networking.
My advice is to upload directly until Adobe can guarantee reliability.

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Hmm, that usually indicates that you need to get a newer version of the Adobe Camera Raw plug-in.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:

Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

Why wont PS CS5 open NEF files from a Nikon D600

I have PS CS5 and I recently updated my camera to a Nikon D600. I shoot in RAW and when I tried to open photos to edit, PS said I needed to update my Camera Raw plugin. I found the most recent plugin for CS5 and photos still won't open
What do I need to do to get them to work? Will I have to bite the bullet and update to CS6 or is there a way around it?
Please help!

Camera Raw 7.3 was the first version to fully support the Nikon D600

Camera Raw 7+ requires Photoshop CS6+

You must either upgrade to Photoshop CS6 (to open and edit your Raw files) or convert your D600 files to DNG with the free Adobe DNG converter and edit the DNGs

Why won't the new Photos app accept JPG files from my Kodak Easy Share like iPhoto did?

Why won't Photos accept JPG files from my camera like IPhoto did?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810?

Why won't elements 12 download raw files from Nikon D810? I got a message saying that the camera model is not supported by installed version of camera raw. How do I fix it?

Photoshop Elements questions should be posted in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum. Somehow your thread got posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing).
You can re-post your thread in the Adobe Photoshop Elements Forum or wait for a moderator here to see your thread here and move it from here to there.
My opinion on this....from the Photoshop Elements perspective...
Nikon D810 is supported by Camera Raw 8.6 and higher (latest version of Camera Raw is 8.7)
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
At the same time, the Camera Raw version needs to be supported by the Photoshop Elements version.
Photoshop Elements 12 appears to support Camera Raw up to 8.5 which does not support the Nikon D810.
Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications
Solution...
a. switch to Photoshop Elements 13 (comes with Camera Raw 8.6 and can be updated to 8.7).
b. use the DNG Converter in Photoshop Elements 12

Why won't Lightroom 3 read NEF files from my D90?

When I try to import photos (NEF files + jpg files) from my D90 to Lightroom 3 I get a mesage saying the files cannot be read. The same message appears when I try to import from a folder on a hard drive. I did not have this problem with lightroom 2.6. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Quote <Is there a setting LR or on the camera that I can use to allow LR to recognise (and render) the NEF file from the camera?>
No. LR will only show the thumbnail rendered by the camera,if it is possible. The better practice would be to download the files from the CF/SD card using a reliable card reader, this would be more efficient/faster and reliable. (use the camera to take photographs, rather than have it attached to the computer.)
A LR generated preview will only be rendered after the import of the NEF.

Organizer in Photoshop Elements 9 won't import large NEF files

Photoshop Elements 9 won't import the NEF fiels from my new Nikon D800.

Yes, the camera is too new for PSE9. You will have to either:
Upgrade to PSE11
Download the free Adobe DNG Converter Version 7.3 and use that to convert your NEFs to DNGs, and then PSE9 will be able to import them
Use the Nikon software to convert the file to TIF, then import into PSE.

CS5 won't open NEF files from D600, despite updating camera raw plug in. How do I fix this?

The D600 was first supported in Camera Raw 7.3 which is only compatible with CS6 and later - not CS5 unfortunately.

Why won't Adobe accept my Serial No. for Elements 10?

Why won't Adobe accept my Serial No for Elements 10. I purchased it quite a while ago and never installed it until today. It is refusing to ackn owledge my Serial no as a legitiamate no. yet I have triple checked it and it is from the DVD box I purchased. Help!

Hi MarBain,
Can you please tell on which OS you are trying to install Elements?
There might be a possibility that you are using Windows only Serial Number on MAC.

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists

Have CS 5 Installed on my iMac and works ok. But installed on my new MacBook Pro it won't open NEF files from my Nikon D810. Displays NEF icons, but when I try and open them the response is: Make sure latest RAW updates are installed. If problem persists follow link: http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111. Have installed Bridge 5.0.2.4; Raw Ref Version 7.0.0.308; DNG converter_8_7_1.dmg; Bridge 5.0.2 Update 2. Also same problem with Lightroom which I don't normally use. Lightroom_3_LS11_mac_3_6.dmg installed.

In the link you posted it states that the Nikon 810 requires ACR 8.6 or newer.
Version of ACR are specific to versions of Photoshop. You cannot use 8.6 nor even 7.0.in CS5.
I believe that ACR 6.7 is the latest that will work with CS5, so make sure you have this installed and get rid of ACR 7.
Having 2 versions of ACR will cause problems.
You have already downloaded DNG Converter 8.7.1.
Have you double clicked the DMG file to allow you to install DNG Converter on your computer?
Be aware that DNG converter is a stand-along application and not a plug-in.
You need to open DNG converter at select the FOLDER that contain your .NEF files.
Don't open the folder and try to select individual files, it doesn't work that way.
After converting your D810 files to DNGs you can then open the DNGs in CS5
The problem is your camera didn't exist when CS5 & its version of ACR was developed.
i don't use Lightroom, but the list mentions Lightroom 5.6 as needed to open D819 so your 3.6 version of LR won't cut it.
