Problems in Post Production - Camera Raw

[ccb]

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and not sure if this is the right place to post this question, so apologise if it's not, but I'm getting desperate.

I have problem with my NEF files in CR. I import them from my harddrive, they open as 8 bit NEF files, but in CR, the only option I have is a depth, no space, resolution or size option where it should be, under the image. I also can't click on the info line under the image to change depth, space etc.

I have the option to change depth from 8 to 16 bit, but when I do that, I can't work on the image in Elements because a dialogubox says its not adequate size (or something along those lines).It is almost as if there is either not enough information on my files, or that CR 5.3 can't read them. I have a Nikon d60 so that should be OK with the software. I also download my images with a cardreader so they should still be RAW files.

If someone could help me I would be grateful, it's doing my head in!!!

That's really strange. I'm not sure how to fix it at all, but hopefully someone will see this thread and help you out. The only thing I can think of is to try redownloading ACR and reinstalling it to see if something went wrong there.

I don't know if this will help but I had some trouble with RAW files in Photoshop and had to update my plug ins and this allowed me to do what I needed to do...I think its under preferences. I hope that helps you!
