LR is not reading NRW raw files.

I have LR version 2015.14 with all the updates complete up to date. Recently I tried to import raw files created by the Nikon Coolpix P1000 camera and LR failed to import and open the raw files.

Can anyone help?

    Cameras currently supported by Lightroom/Camera Raw are listed on this page Cameras supported by Camera Raw

    You'll note that the Nikon Coolpix P1000 is not listed.

    As usual Adobe demands more money to import from your new camera.

    Adobe does not "demand" anything, but if you buy a new camera you should expect to need 'new' software to support it when the camera manufacturers insist on changing the raw file formats.

    And Adobe offer a FREE method to use your new camera raw files. I call that "generous"!

    I see in the posts that the Nikon P1000 is not supported.  Is there any update on the timetable?  It is now approaching mid October.  I want to be able to work on my pics on LR & PS on my desktop and my laptop without having to go through additional software and extra files (.tiff).  I have been a longstanding PS and LR customer.  In the past, I bought every version and am now on the subscription.  Please update soon Adobe.

    I also hope  you update what you broke in DxO Optics Pro 11.

    I would suspect that an update is imminent. The free DNG converter has already been updated to version 11, and it DOES support the camera. Until Lightroom is updated, you could download the DNG converter and create DNG copies that could be used in the current version of Lightroom.

    What Ian said. Support for P1000 Raw files will probably come in the next update for Lightroom 7 (subscription only).

    In the meantime, use your Nikon software to open the files, save them as TIFFs and import the TIFFs into Lightroom.

    I have LR version 2015.14 with all the updates complete up to date.

    I assume you're a Lightroom Classic CC subscriber.

    Although 2015.14 is the most up-to-date version of CC 2015, 2015.14 is actually an old version which was superseded by version 7 in October 2017. The current version is Classic CC 7.5.

    Updates to Lightroom for newer cameras such as yours will only be for version 7.6 onwards. So you'll first have to upgrade to version 7 via the Cloud desktop app before you can install the update (when released) and get P1000 support.

    You can upgrade to 7.5 right now at no extra cost to your membership. Upgrades and updates are all included in your membership fee.

    Thank you John. This is helpful. Yes, I'm an LR classic cc subscriber. How do I upgrade my current version to V7.6?

    7.6 is not yet available. The current version is 7.5.

    Use your Adobe Cloud desktop app. You should see a Cloud icon located in the taskbar (Windows) or Apple menu bar (Mac OS). Click that and click on the Apps tab.

    Thank you Ian for your quick response. Do you know if LR will update the camera support list anytime soon?
