    Set file association for .NEF files


    I have Photoshop CS4 along with Camera Raw installed as well as Adobe Acrobat 9.5. Everytime I try to open a .NEF file Windows tries to open it in Acrobat 9.5. Naturally it cannot. When I go to the file associations Photoshop CS4 is not an option. Can anyone help me associate .NEF with CS4?

    Windows 10 will not open my .NEF files

    I have a similar problem with my new Nikon. My old Nikon produced photos which could be processed but now when I try to open them, windows try's to open them with an old copy of Photoshop which isn't able to open the new Nikon NEF files. It opens them
    without a problem if I use a newer version of Photoshop through Adobe Creative Cloud or the Photo gallery or Paint Shop Pro

    Windows 10 will not open my .NEF files

    Hi,

    I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with .NEF files. I will certainly help you.

    To assist you better, I would like to know whether you are referring to Windows Photo Gallery or Photos app.

    Since NEF is a RAW format, the image usually have huge file size and it will take some time to get opened. I suggest you to try opening the image in Photo gallery and wait for some time and check if you are able to open the picture.

    As a troubleshooting step, I suggest you to run the app troubleshooter and check if it helps to resolve the issue.
