Because it’s not the same file format as NEF from a Nikon digital camera, despite having the same extension.

As to why nikon chose to append the same extension to two wildly different file formats, you’d have to ask Nikon.

Samuel,

There is an updated Raw Plugin for PhotoShop CS

Hope that will help,

No, ACR will still not read NEF files from a scanner.

As Bruce already explained, they are very different file formats that just use the same extension.

John,

Remember ACR stands for Adobe Camera RAW. What Samuel is contending with are RAW scanner files, which are a different animal alltogether. Only Nikon knows why they chose to assign the same extension to them.
