Photo Paint X4 and .nef

.nef files show up as a starry or striped image in PP X4, Camera used was a Nikon D300. Has anyone seen similar and know of a fix?

Nikon's D300 is not yet supported in the Camera Raw Lab. If you look several posts down in the X4 forum, there is a list of supported cameras. http://coreldraw.com/forums/t/3740.aspx

Doubtless, Corel will be releasing updates for the Raw Lab to keep up with Camera Model Releases. I am uncertain of the frequency of these releases at this point.

For a workaround you can either usen Nikon's software which came with your camera to create a Tiff or download the big A's DNG converter and use it. I would expect from the discussions heard that Nikon and Canon Models will recieve pretty prompt attention.

Thanks for the response, I better wait and see then.

Just to let everyone know (apologies if you do already) D300 nef files are importable into Photopaint X4 when X4 service pack is installed.

 

Although I could not find the d300 on the list on the  web site, they do work now.

We might not yet have had the time to update the knowledge base article... I posted the list of supported cameras with SP1 in my blog a few weeks back: http://coreldraw.com/blogs/gerard/archive/2008/05/12/corel-photo-paint-x4-camera-raw-support-with-service-pack-1.aspx and the D300 is on the list.
