Yes, what version of Ps are you using? There are a lot of years between the D70 and D7100 cameras. I'm using Ps CS6 with the final version of ACR it can use, ACR9.1.1. That and Widows 10 should work for your D7100 NEF but possibly not a D7200. Noting the vintages of cameras being similar, my system reads my Pentax K-3 RAW PEF files OK but seems to not be able to read those from a K-3 mk ii.


He said CS6.

Rocky, as mentioned without knowing which version of PS you are using, it's difficult to forward a solution, other than those provided. However, if you decide to use the DNG route, keep your NEF files. Those contain data that DNG discards. You may wish to review that data at some point in the future.

At some point I started converting to dng on import but, now save a copy of all my bed files on a separate external hard drive in case they are needed in the future.

I don't want to hijack the thread but I have been using DNG conversion with no problems (DNG converter was mentioned and is free). My question is what, from the NEF files is discarded?

I had to wait to get home from work to get the exact version of Photoshop. It is CS6 or More specifically: Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0.1 (13.0.1.3 20131024.r.34 2013/10/24:21:00:00) x64. I am barely of amateur quality and seldom need to use Photoshop but now that I have a better digital camera I wanted to experiment more. Buying another product is not very appealing to me. I did try the DNG but it did not seem to work. Either that or there is something in the process I did not do. thanks for all of the responses.

CS6 should be able to process raw files from your D70. A D70 isn't exactly a new camera. Open CS6, go up to the top where all the drop down menus are and go to help, then the drop down should have something similar to or should say "Updates". Click on that and do an update on your version of CS6. This will give you the latest version of ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) which is the part you use to process raw files. Sounds like this has never been updated and that this should work.

I used to be able to edit my raw photo files in my Windows version of Photoshop from my D70 and I remember having to install a plug-in. I now have a D7100 and I cannot view or edit the raw files. I tried to find a newer plug-in online but what I found was some generic file that included all kinds of cameras and was not specific to Nikon and it did not work. The further I looked it seems like now I have to pay for a plug-in. Is that the way it is now? Can anyone guide me on what to try? On a side question, are the raw files different from camera version to camera version?

Yes, each camera has a unique raw color profile. Adobe ONLY supports the current versions of Lightroom, Photoshop, and Bridge with Adobe Camera Raw updates. Each major upgrade ORPHANS the older version because development of the previous version is FROZEN. Quarterly updates to ACR add new cameras, but only to the current version.

Adobe’s best software only evolves when you pay for the evolution. You can work around this by using Adobe’s free DNG Converter, or by using Nikon’s own software.

I saw the D7100 part too but just had a brain fart when replying. Still think he should do an update on his CS6.
