Nikon D4 NEFs not opening

May 21, 2012 4:22 PM

Hi, I have both Photoshop CS5.1 and Photoshop 6 and have upgraded to latest versions of Adobe Camera Raw and DNG converter. However, my NEF files still will not convert/open.

 

I use Mac OS X 10.6.8 and download files with the latest version of NX2/Nikon Transfer.

 

It reads in all Camera Raw/DNG versions I've tried that the file type is not supported/recognized. i have tried following Adobe's help directions, i.e. uninstalling-reinstalling, but same problem.

 

Can someone please help as I have clients to send pics to asap and this issue is costing my money

 

Many thanks,

 

Chris

    DO NOT use Nikon transfer as it will cause images to corrupt and ACR can't read the files. Download images to desktop again without using Nikon transfer, then convert using the latest DNG converter from the adobe Labs. If you have Photoshop CS6 just upgrade to ACR 7.1. Thanks.

    Thanks, but how do I download them directly without using Nikon Transfer? I am looking in the Finder folder but it does not recognize my camera whilst plugged in.

    Try the Photo Downloader in Bridge.

    You can also try using a card reader.
