Hi Folks:

My Nikon D40x RAW images show in the Photoshop browse window (thumbnails via Bridge). However when double clicked to load directly into Photoshop, the RAW Adjustment window does not show the thumbnail and the image cannot be loaded (when OK is clicked, a message displays saying there is a disk problem). I don’t have this problem with D200 images.

I’m running Photoshop under Win XP x64 Edition with 8 GB of memory. I upload the images from the camera via a different computer (Win XP 32-bit edition) using the latest Nikon View (which doesn’t run on 64 bit computers).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Jim

The D40x is not one of the supported cameras with ACR. You’ll have to wait for them to add it to an upcoming version of Adobe Camera Raw.

Unfortunately, of course, if Adobe continue their policy of only updating the ACR associated with the current version of Photoshop, there will be no update for CS2’s Camera Raw.

Photoshop does not read NEF from D40X, although it does read it from D40. Hopefully they will upgrade it.

I’ve been using the trial version of Nikon Capture NX which can be downloaded from the web. I’m finding that I make major adjustments here in NEF and then save as a tiff and continuing working on it in CS3. I may end up having to buy Nikon Capture NX and that will make me pretty angry. But I have to say that it is a good piece of software with some very efficient methods for dealing with color adjustment and such.

Nikon View doesn’t read D40X either……..
