Our FAQ here explains that iPadOS 13 supports these RAW formats and the Nilkon P950 is not on that list. The RAW file support in the iPad version is wholly controlled by "Apple Core Image Raw", which tends to add new cameras when new versions of the OS are rolled out (so perhaps only when iPadOS 14 is released)

@h_d Please can you retest if this is still true for you in 1.8.0.166 ?

Using the move tool, select the embedded image. Then double click (on the canvas) on the selected layer. That will allow the file to be edited. (We will also soon add double click to embedded images listed in the the layers studio).

Affinity Photo on Mac 1.8.0.166 is now available

Here in this specific forum but in a new thread, not this one
