how to open .nef files

D70 has been supported forever.

Since ps elements and iPhoto and Capture NX all use *different* raw conversion engines, it really sounds like a file corruption issue.

What program on the PC opens them? Did you add the new Windows RAW support? Until very recently, a PC *couldn't* open RAW files.

I am sorry to say that Nikon software has problems with OS X so I have stopped using it. For me I am able to import my photos directly into either iPhoto or Aperture without using anything from Nikon.

For what camera? All .nefs are different.

Check software update the latest Raw Camera Update added support for the newest Nikons.

What happens when you import one of these photos to iPhoto?

Have you tried using the Nikon software that came with your camera?

I have no problem with any of the photos from my D70.

I download thm from the Compact Flash card with my card reader without any problems whatsoever.

Again, if Camera Raw *and* iPhoto cannot open them, your files are corrupted. Try importing some new ones.
