gabrielm Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 Hi! Trying to load any of the sample Z6 RAW images here will just display pure blackness with no actual image data: https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/8048435192/nikon-z6-sample-gallery/0151118616 Z5 sample RAWs are similarly affected. It seems to me that this is an issue with the Serif Labs RAW Engine on both Windows and MacOS. Switching to Apple (Core Image RAW) does fix image loading.

gabrielm Posted January 21, 2021 Author Share Posted January 21, 2021 Forgot to say that both the latest stable (1.8.6) and customer beta (RC2) version is affected. Used mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 for testing Mac stuff and Windows 10 with latest upgrades applied. The Mac was a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2019) i9, 32GB RAM. The Windows PC is an old i7-4770 with 8 GB and nVidia GTX 760. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 I downloaded the NEF RAW, and was able to replicate your issue. This is an issue with Affinity Photo, as I'm able to open it with another editor (Paintshop Pro). Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Peter in ABQ Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 (edited) I'm seeing the same thing with Z7 NEF files of various bit depth & compression. I was about to purchase Affinity Photo but now I'm not so sure. Note added: lossless compressed loads properly.

Staff Gabe Posted January 26, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 26, 2021 Hi all, @Peter in ABQ Any chance you can attach some compressed (lossy and lossless) samples? Does the bit depth influence it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
