I have a Nikon Coolpix 5700 camera and iPhoto 6 under 10.4.6. I take photos in RAW format which I peel off the Compact Flash card via a reader and then process in Photoshop CS2. iPhoto 6 lists my camera as compatible, likewise my Flash Card Reader. The raw files are in Nikon .NEF format and open correctly in Photoshop. However in Image Capture or iPhoto 6 they will not read. In both cases they are "seen" correctly but on importing come up with an error message that they could not be imported. This happens either plugged into the camera directly, the Flash Card in the reader of for downloaded files on my hard disk. Has anyone any help to offer on this one please. It would be so nice to file the raw photos straight into iPhoto.

Hi Severin,

I don't think the Nikon 5700 & D200 are compatible with iPhoto6 for
the RAW format.


Try BibbleLite from Bibble Labs. Version 4.5. I beleive its free and certiainly converts Nikon RAWs for me without difficulty.
