Will not read D800 NEF files

Lightroom will not read Nikon D800 NEF files. I have updated lightroom twice, first to 4.1 and second to 4.2 and in neither case would the files import. I have read several forum entries that say these files are compatible with Lightroom and/or to update Lightroom. Anyone have an answer? This is getting really aggravating!

Nikon Transfer is obsolete and should not be used. The Transfer option of an up-to-date ViewNX2 should be ok. I would hesitate to use something that tries to be very consumer friendly like Windows Photo Transfer in case it is extracting JPG previews from the NEFs instead of actually transferring the NEF files, unchanged, but if you can determine they are really raw files, not just JPGs or JPGs renamed to NEF, then it’s probably ok—the NEFs will be much larger than the JPGs so that’s a way to tell. I think you should test with a few photos, waiting long enough to make sure you do actually get previews rendered in LR’s Import area.
Personally I just use Windows Explorer and copy the files from my card in a card-reader to my local hard-drive then do an LR Add Import from there. I use a codec-pack that allows Windows Explorer to let me see the JPG-previews that are embedded into the raw files so I am not copying blind.

I have iphoto '08 version with an imac osx 10.5.8. It will not read my RAW files from my Nikon D800 - a very new model.How can I get it to read my RAW files?

my somewhat old imac osx 10.5.8 with iphoto '08 will not read my RAW files from my new Nikon D800 camera - a new model on the market( 5 months or so). How can I get iphoto to read my RAW files?

iPhoto 08 would not read RAW files from that new a camera. You need to upgrade so you can get more up-to-date version of OS X and iPhoto. Another possiblity is see if iPhoto 11 will run on 10.5.8, if so you should update. You can also attempt to run Software Update and see if it finds a newer release of iPhoto 08 that supports newer RAW formats.

LR 4.2 will not send D600 NEF files to CS5 or CS6

LR 4.2 will not send D600 NEF files to CS5 or CS6 whenever I right click on the image and chose "Edit In"...is this a glitch that is to be fixed in the upcoming LR upgrade or is this something I can fix now? Converting to a jpeg or dng before I can export to CS is a pain in the rumpus ;o)

Try updating to Lightroom 4.3 RC http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lightroom4-3.html
And Camera Raw 7.3 RC http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/cameraraw7-3.html
They are release candidates, which means they're undergoing final testing but they're much more stable than a beta version. They have full support for the D600, so you should find the rendering looks better too.

Camera raw does not read D7100 nef files [was:Ernied]

Camera raw does not read d7100 nef files. did update...still no success.

I suspect that the DNG converter will work for you if you use it properly. It isn't your fault, but Adobe has created a kind of a silly interface in the DNG converter. Notice that it is asking you for the folder. When you are browsing for a location within the DNG converter, choose the folder, but don't open the folder. If you do then the DNG converter will tell you there are no images to convert. If you choose the folder then the DNG converter will convert all the files within that folder.

Photoshop CC with CS3 will not open Nikon NEF files for the D610.[was:CC]

Photoshop CC with CS3 will not open Nikon NEF files for the D610. Is there a fix for this? Fast Eddy

I assume you're running Photoshop CC (not sure what you mean by "with CS3" unless that's the version you upgraded to CC from)

Photoshop CS6 will not read my raw files

I have both a Canon 5D Mark 3 and a Canon 70D and CS6 will not read my RAW files. I have to convert them to DNG to work on them. Suggestions?

According to this Adobe help link, the 5D Mark III had support since Camera Raw version 7.1 and the 70D had support since version 8.2, which CS6 should support fully. (CS6 supports up to the latest Camera Raw, which is version 8.7 as of this post.)
Is everything updated? (Help > Updates in Photoshop.)

Air App will not read local text file using openAsync/readUTFBytes on user (non-admin) mode

I am running an Air App I did for the desktop, from the actual installed executable already deployed in the machine (Not from Flash Pro / Flex dev. environment). For some reason the app will not read a text file stored in the same application folder unless I run my app as administrator from the OS.
When I run the app as admin, or within the development environment it works fine. Maybe this is related to some security issue? I read the adobe air documentation, and this should work...
I am using openAsync/readUTFBytes on user as shown here:
var continueGamesConnection:FileStream();
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationDirectory.resolvePath("continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
continueGamesConnection.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, openSavedGames);
continueGamesConnection.openAsync(continueFile, FileMode.UPDATE);
function openSavedGames(event:Event):void
     continueGamesConnection.removeEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, openSavedGames);
     var content:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
     var loadedContent:String = new String();
     loadedContent = continueGamesConnection.readUTFBytes(continueGamesConnection.bytesAvailable);
     content.decode(loadedContent);
     variableX = content. variableX
     //etc, etc.
     continueGamesConnection.close();
By the way, I have also, tried using FileMode.READ, and others, and it still gives me the same problem. Only works if ran on admin mode or from the dev. environment.
It's very frustrating, I tried reading other posts without any luck... What solutions do people use for this kind of problem?
I have seen that you can set the app to run as admin somehow, and I guess that could work. However, this should work just fine, since it doesn't seem to violate any of the security APIs of Air. Seems like an overkill. But even so, how do I do that?
You help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks kglad.com. I will try this and see if it works. Can you check my code a bit to see if it's right?
var continueFile:File = new File(File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath("savedgames/continueGames.txt").nativePath.toString());
Does this look right to work across all desktop OS?

I've installed Adobe Reader twice and it still will not read a PDF file. What's up?

I've installed Adober Reader twice now and it still will not read a PDF. What's up?

I have the same problem. Adobe Reader worked fine until the last few days. I run Windows 7 and all I get is a small black cross in the top left corner of the screen. I can open downloaded pdf files, but not anything new from the internet.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and have run every type of scan I know of without any change.
This seems to be a common and recent problem, so I would like to know what's being done about it.

Lightroom will not read sony ARW files

I understood the latest version of Lightroom supported the recent Sony A7 series, whose RAW files are Sony's own ARW files. I have the latest Lightroom but it will not read these files.

Here is a list of the Sony A7 series cameras that Lightroom supports, and the version of Lightroom required. The Lightroom versions are in the highlighted area.
If you are certain you have the appropriate version of Lightroom installed, then provide more information. Can your operating system browser see the raw files? Have they been downloaded to your hard drive? What operating system are you using? What is the exact version of Lightroom?

Lightroom 5 will not read my card files

lightromm 5 will not read my card files

lightroom 5 will not read my RAW preview file , no images in preview file to copy.instead of image file states , preview file unavailable for this file
Hi,
Please provide more information ... such as:
- What are you trying to do? e.g. "Trying to import images from CF Card I get this message"
- What PC are you using? e.g. "Mac, PC, memory etc"
It is quite a cryptic thread but it sounds like you are trying to import directly from a CF Card, if you are copy the images to the hard disk then import.

DNG 7.4.137 will not see my NEF files!!!!

I just upgraded to Camera Raw and DNG converter 7.4.    I also just started with a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.
My version of the DNG is 7.4.0.137
My camera is a Nikon D90
Using Photoshop and Bridge CS6
Computer is Windows 7 Pro
When I open the DNG converter, it asks where the images are to be converted.   When I Select   the directory the NEF files are in , it says no files match my search.   This is with the camera memory card in a card reader. I also get this if I copy the NEF files from the camera card directly to a directory on the hard drive.
If I open Bridge CS6 and go to Get Images from Camera,   it will see the memory card in the card reader and see the files, and they can be converted.   BUT if I copy to the hard drive, there is no way I can find them and convert the NEF files to DNG!!!!! That sucks!!! and if I do convert them to DNG in Bridge from the memory card, when I open in Photoshop, I see they are camera raw 7.1.   I thought I had installed 7.4?????

And if you don't want to convert all, consider a batch file, like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe DNG Converter" -cr7.1 -dng1.3 -p0 %*
You can drop raw files onto such a batch file to convert them.
PS - As far as DNG contents are concerned, there is no difference between ACR7.1 & ACR7.4 (i.e. having the latest acr version only matters when there was a DNG-affecting change in that version).
Note: I recommend use DNG version 1.3 if you don't need DNG v1.4 (e.g. for lossy compression, or fast-load data) - why? for maximum compatibility with other apps that are not yet up to speed with 1.4 (e.g. exiftool, although Phil believes next release 9.25 will provide full support).

DNG conversion fail and Photoshop will not open my NEF files (Newbie question)

Two part question. First, I just recently installed photoshop CS4 to my (windows vista) computer and I go to upload NEF photos to bridge and I check the box that says "Convert to DNG" and when it finishs uploading it says "Files successfully copied, However, DNG conversion failed." It says it everytime and I don't know what to do about that.
Second part: I try to open my NEF files in photoshop it says "Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document." I am using a Nikon D90 and I don't know if that has anything to do with this. I apologize if this question is in the wrong forum, I am new to this and I thought maybe camera raw had something to do with this at least.
Thanks for any help

You need to update your Camera Raw plug-in to either version 5.2 or 5.3RC, as well as the new DNG converter. They are available on the Adobe download page, and there are complete instructions for installation available there.

Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have same issue still

I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

Good day!
Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
As you should see your version is not up to the task.
You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.
