ElliottC Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 When will Affinity Photo be updated to support the new Nikon Z9 Camera raw files? I downloaded some such files from the internet and am getting blank images (no errors) when trying to load them into Affinity Photo. Attached are two such files.

v_kyr Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Well the Nikon Z9 ist pretty new, much too new to be yet supported in libraw, which Affinity's converter is based on. Actually the following cams are known to be supported by Affinity's libraw based engine: [FAQ] List of Supported Raw Cameras (1.10.x) for Desktop & Lens Correction list And even Apple's RAW engine which is alternatively usable (you can switch to) in Affinity Photo for Macs, doesn't support a Z9 yet: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey I believe beside Nikon itself with it's Nikon Studio, there will be only few third party converter apps (usually from the big field players) which might already support the Z9 at all yet. - Maybe CaptureOne or LR but I don't know for sure here, since as said the Z9 is probably still too new on the market!

Adobe's DNG converter doesn't support it yet, and that usually leads the field. Quote AP, AD & APub user, running Win10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like to be the same for C1 too (see for example here and other similar requests there).

ElliottC Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Thanks everyone. Nikon NX Studio works - I'll use that for viewing the downloaded files. Hopefully Affinity Photo will have an update by the time my camera arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerF Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 It does not appear that Affinity has been updated to work with the files from the Z9. Affinity is my "go to" processing program and to have to take an extra step and process through NX Studio is a real pain in the workflow. Any word from Affinity Support on this problem??

How should they (?), Affinity depends here entirely on libraw and when libraw will support it! - See a related topic on the libraw website: libraw Nikon Z9!

RogerF Posted June 29, 2022 Share Posted June 29, 2022 Ok thanks for the info. Looks like we're just waiting for the next libraw update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
