Why won't LR5 import my Nikon D800 RAW images? It did till yesterday.

I have been using Lightroom since the beginning and without trouble. I have been importing thousands of RAW images from my Nikon D200 without problems till yesterday, when the usual import ended poorly at the beginning:
I tried again, then restarted Lightroom, then restarted the computer, then got the same result each time. Next I tried importing using the camera USB cable and got the same message. I tried a different memory card next, with the same result. Then I tried Nikon's Capture software which imported the files with no problem, as did iPhoto.
Then I changed permissions to "everyone" for Lightroom, signed off and then onto a testing account created for the purpose. Lightroom created a library, and imported the same files through the card reader without a hitch.
Obviously, there is something wrong with the Installation of Lightroom in my space that doesn't happen if I just change the user and nothing else. How do I fix the way Lightroom interacts with my user space?

The LR Preferences are under your user folder so creating a new user would make a default preferences file for that user.
Try removing or at least moving or renaming your LR preferences file for the user with the problem, and let LR create a new one for your normal user:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences\Lightroom 5 Preferences.agprefs
Make sure you know where your catalog is since the last location won’t be remembered after you create a new preferences file.

I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2

I cannot open Nikon D800 RAW image files in lightoom 2. My raw files will not import into lightroom (it imports jpegs, but not the RAW files) I am using Lightroom 2, version 2.7, camera Raw 5.7. Can you help?

I would highly recommend upgrading to Lightroom 4 as the processing engine is a quantum leap ahead from Lr 2 just as your camera is a leap ahead!!
p.s. you can upgrade directly fro 2 to 4.

Why won't LR5 automatically save my original RAW imports from Nikon D7100?

Why won't LR5 save my original RAW imports from D7100. I can import them and process them but the originals are then lost. What am I doing wrong? With every other camera the original RAW image is saved in the library.

Another guess as to what is happening is that your Folders panel section was accidentally closed/hidden in Library.
To fix this, right-click on another section name in the lefthand panel and put a checkmark next to Folders.
The possible sections on the left in Library are:
Navigator (which cannot be closed or right-clicked on)
Catalog
Folders
Collections
Publish Services
A variation of this situation would be that instead of hiding the Folders section entirely, you've merely collapsed it.
To reveal the list of folders click the triangle that is pointing towards Folders so that it points down at a now expanded Folders section.

Why on import are Nikon D800 files changed to clarity +100 vibrance +35 ?

Why on import are Nikon D800 files changed to clarity +100 vibrance +35 ? Preset are set to not change anything. Camera set to vivid LR 5

It seems to me that either you have a preset involved that you're not aware of, or else somewhere along the line you have inadvertently changed your default settings. Because Lightroom doesn't do that automatically on its own, by default.

Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import

Has anyone experienced Lightroom 4 corrupting Nikon D800 RAW files on import?

How do you know they aren’t corrupted before you import, or the old one wasn’t already corrupted and you just regenerated the preview and could then see the corruption where what you saw, before was from the preview cache and not the current image?
Is the corruption a problem with the Previews or does LR actually choke on the file and say it is unreadable or show you a gray thumbnail or pixilation starts halfway down the photo.
Can you prove the files were intact coming off the card and only are corrupted after importing into LR? Can you get to the originals on the card, still?

ACR 7.0 in Released version of CS6 doesn't open Nikon D800 raw files.

The ACR 7.0 that installs with rhe released version of Photoshop CS6 still won't open Nikon d800 raw files.

Noel - I do use a card reader and always have! I don't go direct from the camera. As I point out, I am working around the problems that are stated above and I am here forcing myself to learn by asking those questions. Thanks though. I’m not ignoring anyone if I were I wouldn’t have all the comments above.
Jeff - I mentioned that I'm a teacher and need to know what I'm doing with the software. Sorry for the attitude.
I am an artist before a teacher it’s just that I like to be proficient when I teach (google me).
Why do you feel such animosity towards education? I’m really sorry I posted here at all.
ssprengel -
I am equally as surprised and not blaming LR4 just making an observation. I have used LR for years and manage a library of over 60,000 images with it. It is my software of choice and will continue to be. But this has become a persistent problem only with the D800 14bit NEF +- 45MB files, all other files from my Nikon DX cameras and my Canon cameras are fine. I’m not blaming LR4 it could also be the Nikon NEF, I just don’t know why LR4 truncates the D800 files and other software doesn’t.
- if I move files using Nikon ViewNX 2 or Windows7 Explorer the files simply move without problem. When I move them using LR4 they become truncated (no end of file error message). If I move them with LR4 and then copy over them into the new folder with the original copy, LR4 corrects and is able to deal with the file in their new destination. (this means a lot of extra work and saving the originals in another directory LR4 doesn’t see).
It's confusing. I have reinstalled LR4 3 times already and checked the hard disks. The bottom line is that both Windows and ViewNX will move the file without altercation. I don’t know why? Yet further confusion. Please realize that I am aware this may be an isolated issue and I intend to ask one of the college techs. to look at the problem.
I am not attacking Adobe, I only use Adobe products with my images and I want it to work that’s why I came here in the first place. I have a lot of money invested in Adobe software both here and all our other licences. Please stop using words like blame, reporting an issue is not blaming. Don’t shoot me I’m just conveying my current (personal) experiences with the product. I’m trying to figure out why and how to make it work.
This is my last post on this thread. Thanks a lot for all your help. I remain a faithful Adobe client and appreciative of all your kind remarks and assistance above.

Does Photoshop CS5 support Nikon D800 raw?

Does Photoshop CS5 support Nikon D800 raw?

Curt Y wrote:
From posts I have read the camera raw starting in 7.2 is far superior to the older version.
Yes, absolutely, no contest. The D800 already has an almost unprecedented dynamic range, and Process Version 2012 (ACR 7.1 and up), with its new highlight recovery algorithm, really makes it shine. Using PV 2010 (up to ACR 6.7) on that camera feels almost like a waste.

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.

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.

Why is it so difficult to convert a Raw image to a jpeg in Photoshop Elements ?! I have version 12. Once i realized to change the tick box in Camera Raw to 8 bit instead of 16 bit and Flatten image ( sometimes can flatten image if the flatten option isn't greyed out) hey presto i thought i was up and running. However after saving the photograph as a jpeg and renaming it e, after the word edit. I switched off/on my computer only for all the images i had spent time working on to have disappeared. Feeling very upset as there is no Technical Help to telephone at adobe and i don't know what to do.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

NIKON D7100 RAW Images

Is there a support of NIKON D7100 raw images available? I bought Elements and like the software, but it does not read the files of D7100. The files of my older D90 it reads. So I have great pics with my D7100, but no chance to edit it in a way which is acceptable

@99jon, thx for your answer, I was afraid to hear this . Your suggested solution I was aware of. Unfortunately there are some destructive things going on with this solution (Camera settings, ...). And patience is one of my attributes I miss
Thx again for your effort to answer my question.....

Is Lightroom able to accept and edit Nikon D4s RAW images?

A professional photographer from a nearby town said he heard Lightroom either did not or had difficulty working with Nikon D4s RAW images. I want to find out if this true or not.

Might have been true around the time the camera was launched but it usually only takes Adobe a few weeks to issue updates for new camera models.
As Bob says, the D4S has definitely been supported for a while now.

Nikon D800 RAW file import

Hi,
Just got Lightroom 5 and cannot import RAW files.

You didn't re-save the NEFs in ViewNX2 did you?
The reason I ask is that there is a new feature to exclude preview when saving (in Capture NX2 anyway - dunno 'bout ViewNX2) - I guess Nikon got tired of people claiming DNG compression was better when the main reason DNGs may be smaller initially is due to the absence of (or smaller) jpeg preview .
Also, lots of people are using Lr5 with the D800 raws, but not a lot are using it with raws re-saved with the new ViewNX2.
Bottom line: try one fresh out of camera and see if that works. And if still no go, make sure you update your camera firmware.

Nikon D800 raw files taken with Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card got corrupted. Able to preview them in Lightroom4.4 Library, but not able to import or transfer the files from card to computer. Any ideas on how to save images from Library Window in Lig

Hi, I have shot few pictures on 31st December night in RAW mode using Nikon D800 and Sandisk extreme plus 32GB SDHC card. It looks like card got some memory errors so not able to transfer the files from Card to computer. However I am able to view the pics thru Lightroom ver 4.4 Library, but when I tried to import them, it gives me an error stating that file can't be read.
Is there a way to save the pics from Library window in lightroom overcoming the card read errors ?
Thanks in advance

Hi SSPRENGEL,
Thank you for your response. Here is the error message I am receiving, I tried with various destination folders in the computer but it still gives the same error:. Just to let you know, I am able to import pictures into these folders from other memory cards.
I am able to finally at least extract the jpgs using the option suggested by elie-d

Error importing Nikon D800 RAW files into Lightroom 4.4.1

Hi folks,

I do get an error like this while trying to import the files:
And then when I try to import them I get an error screen.
The files can be viewed with irfanview so they should not be corupted.

Have you used any Nikon software with them, perhaps an older Nikon Transfer or View NX? These are known to make newer Nikon camera’s files unreadable by Adobe products.
On way to test would be to take a new picture and move it to your hard-drive using either your OS-level functions (Finder/Explorer) or LR, itself, directly from the card, perhaps in a card reader.
The utility, here, can reverse this obsolete-Nikon-software corruption:
