Title: nef from coolscan V
Post by: philbu on October 08, 2006, 08:25:10 am

Hi All,

I have tried to import a file generated with my Coolscan V film scanner and saved in Nikon's raw format (nef) into Lightroom. The original image is 5959 x 3946 px. However, once I have imported it in Lightroom, the size of the image is a mere 320 x 211 px.

Any idea? Is Lightroom not compatible with nef generated from the Nikon Coolscan?

Thanks

Philippe

NEF from a scanner are -NOT- raw captures as out of a camera. Nikon was pretty stupid and has caused a lot of problems by having two entirely different file formats both called NEF. You'll need to save out the scanner file as a tiff.
