Suddenly unreadable NEF files in Lightroom

Hello

I'm starting to work on photos taken with Nikon D90 (NEF files) a few days ago.

I renamed with Lightroom, some of them and the pictures become illegible with Lightroom (I can see them but not edit them or export) and Windows File Explorer (an error message appears and I can't see the pictures)

I can read with Fastone viewer and Nikon ViewNX.

On the picture you can see the sign! This means that the files are unreadable and the French message "the file cannot be opened in Lightroom" means "the file cannot be opened in Lightroom.

It seems the problem happens when I rename the pictures because I can read and modify the files with the old name, but not the new name one.

Could you help me to solve the problem and explain to me what is happening?

Sorry for my bad English and I hope be clear

Thank you for your help

I saw two different icons exclamation point in Lightroom. This one seems to indicate you don't have the right version of Lightroom, or it seems to be a corruption of file, so the message may not be read. What version of Lightroom do you use?

In addition, other exclamation point icon produced an error message indicating that the file is missing.

  • Unreadable NEF files in Lightroom

    I just bought a D7000 and a first time user of Lightroom 3. Updated saftware to 3.5, but the program does not display NEF files. Installed program Nikon NX and it will display all of the NEF files that I shot. I spent several hours trying to find a solution on the web without success

    @visserj100 your screenshot shows that you are using version 3.2 If you have downloaded the 3.5 update, you may need to run the Setup program that should replace the previous version.

  • Why aren't my import NEF files in Lightroom 5 more?

    I have a camera of Nikon D7100, I shoot RAW in.  I imported these NEF files into Lightroom 5 of my camera on previous occasions, but recently I wanted to import new photos.  The new photos show on the Lightroom Import screen, but when I click on the button import the software acts as he begins the process of import, but never done, finally showing a warning box saying the file could not be read.  What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    I'm not familiar with the Apple disk utility to repair permissions, but if it does not change the permissions on the destination folder, then she will not solve the problem. In addition, sometimes people accidentally change the destination folder, and all of a sudden, the record isn't what you think it is. The symptom of labour stopped is often associated with an accidental change in the destination directory.

    So my advice in this situation is to actually determine what file is specified as the destination in the import dialog box (cela there looking in the dialog box import and make a note of which folder it is; not to assume whether the folder that you have always used) and then change the permissions on this file WRITE permission.

  • Why can't import of Nikon NEF files in Lightroom 6?

    I bought Lightroom 6 recently, and he has now upgraded to the latest version. I use a mac as El Capitan.

    Normally, I shoot and import the jpg files from my Nikon D5300, but thought I would try shooting RAW. However, despite the fact that the camera is supported and the help of Adobe pages confirm that there should not be a problem, the file will not import directly from the memory card.  Lightroom displays thumbnail images of photos - as usual - but then comes up error message, that the files were not imported because they could not be read. Nor NEF files copy as DNG on the hard drive.

    I went through all the settings and spent hours reading the forums.  I know that I'm probably going to convert files, but it would be great if it worked right. What is the problem here?

    Hi giuliamary,

    Seems that your place of destination is not properly defined.

    Make sure that the location of 'TO' in the top right of the import window is correctly set and a full read and write permissions.

  • Could not open the RAW of Nikon d5500 has been added (.) NEF files) in Lightroom CC

    Hello

    I recently bought Adobe Lightroom CC and installed on my MacBook Pro OSX running 10.11. However, when I try to open the FIRST (.) NEF files) from my Nikon d5500 has been added I get the following message 'the following files were not imported because they could be readable.' as can be seen in the screenshot below:

    Screen Shot 2015-10-24 at 15.23.27.png

    I am also under the latest version of Lightroom CC with Camera Raw 9.2 and I read that the Nikon d5500 has been added was supported Camera Raw 9.0

    Screen Shot 2015-10-24 at 15.23.39.png

    The files open fine in CC Photoshop so I don't understand why they don't open in Lightroom CC.

    Someone can help or Lightroom CC not actually does support for the Nikon d5500 has been added RAW files?

    Your import asked Lightroom to copy pictures to a folder that does not have write permission. Determine which folder you want to copy the photos to (it's in the Destination of the import dialog section), then go to your operating system and make sure that this exact folder Lightroom has WRITE permission.

  • Help! How can I open my NEF files in Lightroom CC 2015?

    Lightroom and Photoshop CC were auto-updated on my PC yesterday. Today, when I try to import in Lightroom I can show all NEF files (in case of a folder, the files are not yet listed). I use a D300, the D300S and the D800E. I downloaded camera Raw 9.1 and that did not help. I don't use any software from Nikon for my file transfer. I transfer them directly from the memory card on my drive. Please be specific as to what I should do. Thank you in advance.

    Sarika,

    I have thought of it. Rather than go computer, I selected the disk tab workstation and it seems to be all together now. Thank you.

  • Import d7200 Nikon .nef files into Lightroom 5.7.1

    Why Adobe don't make it easy on photographers and do so that you can directly import raw files into lightroom from Canon or Nikon or Olympus.  Why hassle free to your users and make them go through the dng converter.  This seems really bad business.

    Tom Bocian wrote:

    I have a Nikon d7200 and it is considered to be acceptable, but when I go to

    room light import said she sees no compatible photo from my camera.

    The D7200 requires at least 6.0 Lightroom or Lightroom CC 2015.0. If you have this version and get this message then it could be that you used an earlier version of the Nikon software to upload your images.

  • Lightroom version 6.5 and still cannot read a nikon nef files d7200

    I have lightroom version 6.5 and still cannot read nef files a nikon d7200

    Believe it or not, this message means that the files cannot be written. Most likely, you need set the permissions on the folder that you write to allow you to read and write.

  • My my D7100 nef files won't import, whats wrong with lightroom 5.  This just started happening

    Why my my D7100 Nikon NEF files won't import to lightroom 5.  I have updates!

    Thank you seanmcfoto. I import direct to LR and not via the Nikon software. So I finally got to work. I imported a test through apples picture Capture photo and then after I did it I tried to import this NEF file in LR and it worked. So then I tried the rest of the photos directly from my camera to LR. For some reason, it works now. I wish I knew why he had this glitch. Thanks for your reply.

  • 4.4 Lightroom won't open the nikon d750 NEF files

    I have a strange problem. My files to import and open fine on my iMAC 4.4 Lightroom but will not import the files on my macbook Lightroom? Any ideas?

    Cannot open the D750 files in Lightroom 4.4. You need at least 5.7 Lightroom to open these RAW files.

    If they open up fine on a computer, then it has no 4.4 Lightroom, there a later version.
