How To Open Nef Files In Photoshop 14 Steps With Pictures

If you are using Photoshop CS5 or earlier, you’ll need to convert the file. Click here for instructions.

If your camera is not currently supported, you’ll need to convert the file in order to open it in Photoshop. See the next section for instructions.

You will be converting the file into DNG (Digital Negative Gallery) format, which allows it to be opened in any version of Photoshop. You may also need to convert the file if you have the latest version of Photoshop but the plugin doesn’t yet support your new camera model.

Once you’ve finished downloading it, run the setup program to install the converter on your computer.

You can only select folders containing images, not single images.

If you want to embed the original NEF file in the DNG file, you can select this from the Preferences menu. This will result in a larger DNG file, but will allow you to extract the NEF file again later if you need it.
