Lightroom :: D800 And 4.1 Will NOT Open Or Recognize Photos
Jun 1, 2012
I have a D800 & lightroom 4.1 will NOT open or recognize my photos. They were shot normally, not in live mode or video or whatever I read while searching for a solution.
I've been trying to figure this out for over a week since I got my D800 and am not making any progress. I am using LightRoom 4.1 and Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 on a Mac OS X v10.6.8.
I read that I need ACR 6.7 in order to recognize the D800 NEF files, but I don't know how to remove 7.1. I tried deleting ACR from my .library folder and reinstalling 6.7 but it still says it's 7.1 when I open up LR4.1 again. Also, I only have Photoshop CS5 and I read that 7.1 supports the D800 NEF files in CS6 only.
On a probably unrelated note, I bought the educational version of LR4 and when I go back to my email that contained the download link, it shows a blank page on "My Orders" even though I've purchased this and other educational versions from Adobe in the last few years. I got the LR4.1 download file and reinstalled after removing the release candidate I was checking out, but wasn't prompted for my registration code that was in my purchase email.
I have Photoshop CS5 Version 12.0 (x64). Photoshop recognises Nikon D 800 Raw files BUTBridge does not. I have tried updates but my Apple Mac Pro does not recognise them
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.
Lightroom 4 catalog does not recognize photos when external hard drive switched to a different USB port. The photos are in My Photopraphs in an external hard drive. I recently had to switch ports and now the catalog can't find the photos.
I have just installed the CS6 upgrade to Photoshop CS4 Extended, but now the software will not read the RAW files from my D800.
I have followed Adobe's instructions to check that I have the correct RAW plug-in (7.0.0.308) which I have. I have uninstalled the software and reinstalled the software without success. I do not want to convert my RAW files into DNG files, so I have ignored that step.
The 'Open in Photoshop' instruction in Lightroom 4 does not open my D800 RAW files either, although the files can be opened in Lightroom 4 OK.
When I try to open a raw (NEF) image from my Nokon D800, I get an error box titled "Photoshop cannot open this file". I looked for updates after installing CS6 but none were found. What's the deal? I read that the D800 was supported in the CS6 release.
My nikon d800 raw files are visable through Adobe Bridge, but only as a Raw Icon, it does not show the image. When I right click on it to open in Camera Raw, I get a message that says "Camera Raw cannot open this file. If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw Update."
I have CS6 running on mac 10.8.2 and can't open NEF's from my D800 and camera raw 7.1 won't install get an error Message.Tried uninstalling CS6 and reinstalled still can't open NEF's.
I just purchased and installed Photoshop CS6 (64 bit) to use with my Nikon D800. However, I can't open the .nef (raw) files but the .jpg files from the same camera will open. What do I need to do to open .nef files from the D800?
I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 from CS5.X and I can not open RAW files in Camera RAW for my Nikon D800. It functioned properly in CS5 with the latest RAW release but won't work in CS6.
I still cannot open RAW files shot by Nikon D800 in Photoshop, even with ACR RC 6.7 installed or even Photoshop CS 6 beta. Some seem to have succeeded by installing ACR RC 6.7.
I just noticed yesterday that I cannot access my LR5 photos. All my photos have a !. I tried to correct with Find Missing Folder. It will locate folder, but I can't select it? Its frustrating because I see them, but can't access them.
I cannot load or open any photos in Lightroom 5.3. I just installed it recently and was getting ready to use it. When I open Lightroom 5.3 it gives me an error message saying "An error occurred when attempting to change modules." I was in Bridge and then from Bridge I tried to open a photo into Lightroom. I tried to get a photo from desktop etc. Nothing worked.
I downloaded some photos to a file under my Photos. When I go to get photos from the file, they aren't there (in windows explorer). What is locking these out?I've tried other downloads, they work fine. Running version 10. I uninstalled & re-installed with no luck.
Today, while browsing through my Lightroom catalog looking for some older images, I noticed that LR5 could not open any images (NEF, CR2, JPG, TIFF, etc.) from mid 2010 and prior! The error message only says: "Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo. You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo." !!! The thumbnails are all blank!
I was very surprised as I haven't used any other image editting sw for the last I don't know how many years. I wonder, are there any ways to reclaim these images. I have some precious photos of my mother before she passed away and don't want to lose them an any cost.
It seems all these files are somehow corrupted. The only thing I can think of is when I switched over to LR5 and the image catalog was updated, something in the process went wrong, though can't be 100% sure. I did try to open the files in a separate viewer (non adobe) but that also failed. I'm using a Macbook Pro with the latest OSX (Mavericks). The images are on an external encrypted drive. From 2010 onward, there are no issues and everything is available.
When I right click on a photo in LR3 and click on 'edit in Photoshop CS4', it opens the dialogue box that it has always opened: 'This version of Lightroom may require Camera Raw version 6.5 to be fully compatible,' or something to that effect. I have never needed to worry about that, and have always been able to just click on OK and it has worked anyway, however suddenly it doesn't.
So I checked (just in case the issue was my version of Camera Raw) and I am running Camera Raw version 5.70.213
So I tried to update it to 6.5. I downloaded it (and the Adobe installer manager which it seemed to want me to install), but when I try to install 6.5 I get a message: 'This is not required'.So one message tells me it is required, and another won't allow it to install and says it is not required.
I don't seem to be able to install the latest version of Camera Raw (doesn't bother me as I don't use it - I use LR, except if it is causing this problem), and I have the problem of being unable to edit any of my LR catalogue in CS4.
I have installed and registered LR 5 ok but can't launch. Only a dialogue box asking to select a recently opened catalogue but there isn't one because I haven't had LR before. I just want to open the interface to import some photos but this same dialogue box keeps opening. This was not an upgrade version.
I can't open any of the recently imported photos in LR3? When I pull them up from my external hardrive it tells me the photo is allready imported and wont let me do it again. I can open older photo's just not recent ones.
I have Lightroom 5 and a Mac computer..Uploaded photos via card reader to Computer.Lightroom Opened but would not show previews. - said show source - would not open the previews on the imported photos
When I tried to activate the source to upload my photos - all when blank after 1 second of showing information (Photos) that were the previews. - then went blank.I stopped the process and ejected the card correctly through the finder. Thought I would try importing via image capture.
This was also a problem as the previews only showed as a flash of a second.I also notice that for some reason Lightroom 4 keeps on opening when importing photos and not Lightroom 5 - Though Lightroom 5 opens up when I edit other photos.
I previously had a D3000 and was able to open NEF files in Elements 9 with ACR. Having upgrade to a D3200, Elements 9 won't open or even recognize the NEF files. I have contacted Nikon, but they say that the files from the D3200 are 'not compatible'.
