I recently purchased a Nikon Z50. Prior to this I was using other Nikon DSLR and a Sony A6400. When I open a raw file from the Z50 it is very disappointing. It is so far off that I have great difficulty bringing it back to the look of the camera jpg. With my other Nikons and also the Sony, this is not the case. Is there something lacking in the raw conversion for the Z50. I only shoot raw and have resorted to opening the Z50 files in Nikon's Capture NX and saving as a tif to use for Affinity. Needless to say, this is not an efficient workflow.

Thank you for the quick response MEB! So far I am delighted with Affinity.

As a new user just learning Affinity Photo I think I have encountered a problem. When I try to use the Plug In Topaz Studio, I get a message saying the "Transparency is Locked". I can open the same file direct in Topaz Studio and also as a plug in from Photoshop Elements. Any suggestions. It isn't a real big deal right now because I still have a lot to learn in Affinity but I am fairly sure it was working correctly a few days ago.
