Hello, I just faced a situation which makes me worry, and I'd like to understand whether I do something wrong or it is a real issue. I just bought a Nikon Z8, and I dowloaded all the Nikon softwares (NX tether, NX studio) for tethering. For developing and editing I wanted to keep using Affinity Photo, but when I sent to raw file from NX Studio to Affinity photo I realised that they are different. Please have a look at the attached pictures: 1. back of the camera, 2. in NX STUDIO 3. Affinity Photo develop persona. The histogram in the camera and NX studio is the same, but different in Photo and the overall, sharpness, and image quality as well. If I choose don't apply cone curve, the histogram is just even more different, and goes tot he darker side. If I change RAW Engine to Apple it's quite the same. My question is, whether this is something that can be fixed by some settings, or Affinity just can't process the NEF files equally well? Thank you very much in advance for your kind answer. I would love to be able to continue working in Photo. Zoltán
