Nikonnut Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 I have recently upgraded to a Nikon D5300 (from a D3100) and my NEF raw files do not open in developer and do not appear to be at all correct. My D3100 raw files were fine. I am attaching a screenshot of my desktop when I open the file showing the notification I get about the color profile and it also shows the size and details of the file. Any help would be appreciated, as I am relatively new to this software and raw development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2019 Hi @Nikonnut, Welcome to the forums. The current public release (1.6) does not support your camera. However, we do support it in the latest 1.7 beta: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/forum/61-affinity-photo-beta-forums/ Have a look. Thanks, Gabe.

According to this list it is supported - I can process D5300 files OK on my Win10 system. Perhaps the OP could attach one of the problem .NEF files?

Thanks for the welcome Gabe! It is on the list like IanSG said - I checked it out to see if that was the problem... I will attach one of my test shots that shows the problem. Can I use the beta 1.7? If not, when will it be released for public use? 20190111_170636.NEF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 That's not shown up as a NEF file at all, more like a 120 x 160 pixel JPG file thumb! - Looks like a image download from the internet at best to me (according to it's file name)? Might be corrupted and thus handled as a thumb preview instead.

Staff Gabe Posted January 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2019 My bad. Not sure why but I could not find it on the list( probably just a typo in the search field). That RAW fils it's definitely corrupt. It does not have any metadata. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be corrupted and thus handled as a thumb preview instead. I know - and that was loaded directly from the camera to my laptop using the usb cord! I had it happen first when I had tried to connect my camera and phone via internal wi-fi, so I deleted all of the test shots and did more without ever turning on wi-fi or connecting the phone - same result! The file size (19MB) would seem to be correct, but like you said, it looks like a thumbnail. If the file is getting corrupted, not sure where it would be happening. The jpg files taken at the same time appear fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have checked the camera firmware, and it is up do date. I'm at a loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikonnut Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 It just occurred to me that the Nikon transfer program (Nikon transfer 2) was on my laptop for ages from when I got my D3100. Maybe I need to update that! All it does is transfer the files from the card to the folder on the laptop, but maybe that is where it is happening... I'll check the CD that came with the new camera and see what version it has. I'll report back what I find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted January 12, 2019 Staff Share Posted January 12, 2019 I never used the usb cable that came with my camera. I have always used the SD card and a card reader Give that a go and see how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Well you can open it with Nikon NX-D but strangely it's image size with 1620 x 1080 pixel is very small here, did you set them up that small in cam (?) ... You may download more actual Nikon software versions here (combined NX-D & NX-i), those also update the Nikon transfer program. Or use a cardreader instead for file transfer from the SDcard.

Nikonnut Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 My laptop doesn't have a cardreader, and I never bought one for the usb... I have the file set to large in the camera. I am installing the updated software to see if that helps. If not, I will go and buy a usb cardreader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikonnut Posted January 12, 2019 Author Share Posted January 12, 2019 SUCCESS! Thank you all for the input that led me to the problem! I uninstalled the old software and installed from the CD that came with the new camera, and all is well! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at them when I thought I may need to update my firmware, I'll pick one up. I'm pretty new to all of this, and I'm learning a lot! It is just something I enjoy doing to find some peace in the chaotic world! Thanks again for everyone's help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
