MikeTO Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hi @Simon-77 and welcome to the forums. Nikon Z8 raw is not supported by Affinity 2.3 but support is coming in 2.4 which is in public beta now so it won't be too much longer.

Hangman Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Hi @Simon-77 and another warm welcome to the forums, Your file is a Nikon RAW (High Efficiency) file which unfortunately isn't currently supported in v2.3.1 and won't be supported in the initial release of v2.4.0 either as only Nikon RAW (Standard Compression) files are supported...

RickPrice1958 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 I am unable to view my Nikon Z8 NEF (RAW) files. I see there is an update coming, 2.4, any ideas of when it is coming? I am facing the possibility of having to buy Adobe stuff and I an not a fan of "leasing" software. thanks, Rick Price South Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 @RickPrice1958 welcone to the forum. As the beta versions that have now been published already have a (RC = release candidate) in their name, the release is already within reach. A release now only depends on whether serious errors are found in the programs and how quickly the developers can eliminate them.

Just to note that while Nikon Z8 NEF (RAW) files are supported in v 2.4.0, Nikon (High Efficiency) RAW files are not, just in case you happen to be using this format.
