Just tested the 1.6.5 beta with raw (full-size) images from my new Nikon D850. It will open them, but takes nearly forever to develop. Not sure if the support just isn't there yet, or whether this is simply a function of the raw developer not being fine-tuned. I know the beta preceded the release of the Camera, but with so few RAW developers working with the D850 NEF files, it would be a real market coup to get this support built in quickly. Adobe CC ACR supports it (sort of, crummy color rendition), but LR doesn't. The only RAW developer that SEEMS to fully support the D850 is On1 RAW.

Tried to import and edit a DNG file from a 5 shot bracket merged to HDR in Lightroom CC, most recent update. I was using the Beta downloaded today. The DNG file came in extremely pixelated, enlarged to 435%. The pixelation diminished when the photo was at 100%, but the photo was so small, it was unusuable. This doesn't happen with the Mac Store version.

Has anyone succeeding in getting decent (or any) photo prints from either Epson or Canon printers in Af Photo Beta. I've tried in each successive beta with little or no luck. I have an Epson R3000 and a Canon Pro-10 printer and I am unable to get any reasonable prints from either one. I've loaded ICC profiles for the appropriate paper, but there seems to be no dialog to set up printing other than the standard Mac dialog, which doesn't allow paper size selection. When I send the photo to the printer, it immediately wants to start screwing around with my various blacks, which typically wastes ink, and isn't necessary in any other program. I regard this as an epic show stopper if the program is intended to fill the role that PS or LR fills in my work. Unless I am missing something really obvious, I can't see where all the printer and paper information is supposed to be set, and without it, the program is useless, unless it is intended only to forward photos to another program for printing. mrf

I'm running the latest beta (as of about 2 p.m. PST) today. When editing a pixel layer, I've noticed that the layer slides all around the screen while I'm trying to edit it. It is like chasing a squirrel up a tree. I doubt this is normal behavior, so I suggest it is a bug. D810, SONY RX100 II and Fuji XT-1 support missing, although you know this. Unfortunately, rather than just refusing to load the raw files, files get load with a weird off white balance and you spend considerable time trying to correct the raw file before you realize that the problem is no support. It would be helpful if there were an error message stating that this format is not currently supported. I would have saved me some time. mrf
