Nikon NEF (raw) photos from D5600 will not download into Lightroom...

[MacHolly]

Nikon NEF files will not download into Lightroom...been working for years, however, I have a new D5600 camera (I read of problems with these two). A new Mac Pro. And new Adobe software...changed from CS5 to new CC...

Problem: just spent two weeks in the Beauteus Pacific Northwest and now have 1,553 Raw files that I cannot open. I have been using Lightroom from v1.0 and have just shy of 100K images leading up to last month's trip. I am very good at this, but the things I have tried (downloading into Lightroom and Bridge were met with messages telling me that the new files are not to be read).

So  here I sit, looking at my new Mac, trying to figure out new software, and remembering the afternoon light on San Juan Island and how it brings up the lush greens and colors of the spring vegetation. Anyone have any knowledge on how to solve this?

Thank you

If possible, please post a link to some NEF files that are not opening/importing and we can investigate. Thank you.

Hi MacHolly,

As I read your message, you state that downloading with Bridge was also unsuccessful. I'm assuming you are using the Photo Downloader. Can you please describe exactly what you are doing to download the images from the card or camera.

Have you tried to manually drag the images from the card or camera to your desktop? If so, what happened.

How many cards are you dealing with here?

Let us know,

Please state the exact version numbers of your installed copies of Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw.

Are there any error messages? What process did you use to download the images from the camera? Any chance that you use a Nikon utility as part of the download process?
