For some reason iPhoto won't recognize the RAW format NEF of my Nikon D600. I didn't have any difficulty displaying the pictures on my iPad 3.
I only take RAW and not RAW+JPEG. I've got 64 Gb of pictures. What should I do now?
iMac (27-inch Mid 2011), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 3.4 GHz i7
Apple usually updates the OS X "Digital camera RAW formats" shortly after a new camera has been released. Don't know why they don't arrange to have the the new RAW support before camera releases. I guess you can put 1/2 the blame on Nikon and 1/2 on Apple.
You can load the pictures into a folder on your iMac until the update arrives. Don't forget to backup the raw files. 🙂
Watch here for the update to be released.
Doesn't Nikon include any software that you can use to edit the raw and create JPGs and then import them into iPhoto?
OT
Their software has issues with mountain lion. So it doesn't help either.
What's odd is that the pictures can be viewed on my iPad 3.
You just can't win can you?
I do not have any issue with the current version of Nikons software and NEF files from a D300.
What isues do you have with Nikon software.
I am running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Capture NX 2.3.4, Nikon Transfer 2 2.5 (now included in View NX), and View NX 2.5.
Okay I tried to use View NX 2 and it is able to show the RAW files. I also found an empty SD card and took a couple pictures. Transfer 2 was able to read the files off of the camera.
I suspect the issues with the 64GB i have is just the number of pictures and Transfer isn't giving immediate feed back when I connect the camera. I put only one of my 32GB SD cards in the camera and tried again. After a minute or 2 the D600 appeared on the screen. Clicking on the camera didn't show any pictures immediately but after quite a few minutes the pictures started appearing.
I guess I can use the Nikon software for now and wait for Apple to update their RAW formats.
Thanks everyone.
Aperture RAW support for the D600 is released today. Get it from the App Store.
The details are here. Thanks for the update.
