D4Hack
Program
Prepared 2012-01-13 by Bill Claff
D4Hack is a Microsoft Windows console executable. It can be used at a “DOS prompt”.
This program is provided “as is” with no expressed or implied warranties.
You may distribute the program provided that it is not modified and that no fee is charged.
The version of Adobe Camera Raw that works with Adobe Photoshop CS/CSx will open D3 files but not D4 files.
Simply changing the model in the Nef file allows D4 users to use Adobe Photoshop CS.
The program takes either one or two parameters.
The first parameter is a filename. This must be a .Nef file.
You may use wildcards but the Nef file extension must be present.
The second parameter is an option.
+3 indicates changing the model from D4 to D3.
-3 indicates changing the model from D3 to D4.
If the second parameter is omitted the model is flipped between D4 and D3.

D4Hack *.NEF
Processes each Nef file in the current directory.
If the model is D4 it is changed to D3. If the model is D3 it is changed to D4.
· The model name is changed “in place”.
· The date and time of the file are unaffected.
· You get positive confirmation on success, nothing on failure.
These instructions assume that you have placed D4Hack in a folder that is on your path.
To find such a folder enter Path at the DOS prompt.
The file cannot be open elsewhere.
