D610 images won't edit in PS

Nikon sent me a D610 replacement for my D600, yeah!!!! I snapped some images, imported them into LR5, then went to "edit in Photoshop" (I have cc) and nothing. They won't import. I grabbed some old images from my D600 and they imported just fine. Any suggestions?

Update the software.

get camera RAW 8.3 for PS

Yep - you need the latest version of Adobe Camera RAW, even if you updated LR. Adobe is a strange animal that way.

Thanks, I figured it out today. I had updated LR & ACR. Found out I had to do it through the cloud. I'm so un-techie.

I did a work-around a couple of times. This computer I'm on uses Vista so only LR4 will work on it. It won't support LR5. So what I did was to change the properties and switch the camera model from D610 to D600. Worked like a charm! Well...until something happened. :disgust:

Now when I try to do it, it wipes all the EXIF data from the properties, and there isn't any way I can add it back in. ::what:: At least I was able to convert all of the files to DNG which then imported into LR4 without any trouble.

Alas, Photoshop indeed is an animal, like BackdoorHippie suggested, though it is more like money swallowing animal, I'd say, since the Adobe's strategy is to sell their products coffee spoon by coffee spoon, if not drop by drop, to extort more money... It's like a restaurant that advertises the prices of their meals. You order some of it and later you realize that: a cup of (plain drinking) water costs 2$, if it is a real glass (not a plastic) it costs 3$, if you want that waitress to smile to you when she brings the glass it'll cost you another fifty cents...

search 8.3 RAW online and install. no big deal!

Use the Nikon free software View NX to process/transform images and then import in your favourite software. I found their Beta Capture NX-D to be all that I require. The only problem with Nikon newer software is that they will not run in the XP-64 that I use. So I have to use either the XP-32 in my laptop or Windows 7 on my Desktop (I have 4 versions of windows on my desktop - XP-32, XP-62, and 2 Windows 7 versions).

Adobe advertises their Photographer's Bundle for $9.99 a month and for that you get a full install of both apps (Photoshop and Lightroom), along with ACR, and immediate updates for everything. What's misleading about that? If you don't like the whole Creative Cloud thing, buy a copy of Lightroom and skip using Creative Cloud altogether or buy a copy of something else like ACDsee Pro 7 or Corel Paintshop Pro. Adobe isn't some horrible monster, it's a corporation with an obligation to its shareholders to maximize profits. That's how capitalism works.

...

Yes, it's how it works, indeed.

Software as subscription service is not necessarily evil, it's just new. Adobe isn't the only one doing it, they're just the only one in this industry. It's actually an attractive arrangement for everyone concerned when you're dealing with an ever-evolving product that is used widely through the industry.

I hated the idea of being beholden to a company for $132/year (my cost after tax), but when I do the math it's a no-brainer. Assuming I have neither product now, it would take me 4-5 years of subscription service to cover the cost of LR5 & CS6 (assuming no Student/Teacher editions). In that time, Lightroom will go through at least 2, and possibly 3 upgrades ($75/ea), and Photoshop would go through at least 1 and possibly 2. In the meantime, I've gotten every single enhancement the moment it became available at no additional cost. The Photoshop CC enhancements over CS6 alone have me happy that I've switched over, though I might have been less inclined had I purchased the non-education version.

Yes, this assumes that the subscription price does not go up. For the typical amateur photographer this may seem like indentured servitude to the corporate giant, I get that. But for the serious semi-pro/pro photographer that relies on this for their business it's likely a welcomed change. No more worrying about how to budget for the next CS release. For a fixed cost they have access to the most up-to-date product as soon as it comes out, which gives them a competitive advantage over everyone who doesn't have it, and insures they're on equal footing with everyone else. It simplifies Adobe's distribution system as well. No more packaging, no more worrying about various versions, no more worrying about who is selling their product for how much. Everything is controlled and distributed from their end.

You can hate corporations, but they're not going away. And when you get over the anger you might actually realize the sense behind it. And if you don't, or if it really doesn't make sense given the way you use your tools, as was said, there are plenty of other options.

Subscription based service has been there for years in the high end CAD industry, where a single license of a package goes into six figures if bought out right, and most of the consultants/manufacturers need tens if not hundreds of seats. A per user (or per hour) license cuts costs tremendously in these situations.
