Nikon D850 Raw support

[ksrhee]

I didn't see D850 in the list of supported raw files for version 1.6.x.  When do you plan to support the raw file.

 

Lightroom Class CC now supports the D850, so I would like to see Affinity Photo supporting it soon.

-Lr, DxO and Capture One are the 3 that I know support D850, and Nikon software.

-coming with their next update, Luminar will support it.

-Picktorial are working on, the camera profile is done but they need some fine tuning to work on all Mac.

Thanks, but I would still like to know what Affinity would support D850.

Hi ksrhee,

Welcome to the forums.

The Nikon D850 isn't on the supported RAW list for Affinity Photo. Updates are planned which will add more camera models, but we don't have a eta on these just yet.

Hi Lee D,

next week, I hope to be one of the lucky one´s owning a D850. And so like for ksrhee the question of Affinity supporting her raw-files is quite a topic for me too. So before I turn my back on Photoshop it would be good to know, if Affinity do have some serious support plans coming...

I have a D850. I really need support of the RAW files since Affinity photo is my only photo editing software.

you can always use NX-D to get the camera/lens correction then send it to AP. that’s the down part of owning a new camera body, its a matter of time before all software get the update.

Thanks Mike. Capture one is very slow on my computer though.

REALLY looking forward to having support for Nikon D850. It's high time... especially since the "free" Nikon Capture NX-D is very clunky and keeps crashing my system (High Sierra) - at least with D850 files. Affinity looks like a nice alternative for RAW processing.

The Nikon D850 is supported via the default MacOS RAW support engine (last High Sierra version), but only the Nikon RAW L-format here. So when actually switching in AP the used RAW engine to Apple instead of Serif and using on the Nikon RAW L it should probably work.

[mikerofoto]

is it worth updating to high sierra just for that?

that's my main concern, I use DxO lab now for camera / lens correction then send it from there to AP.

[v_kyr]

Just for that? Probably not!

Also IMO you get much better RAW processing results with CNX-D, DxO, C1 here than with AP at all, so I personally wouldn't use AP or the MacOS build-in one as a main RAW converter for a D850. - Maybe AP instead of PS as an image manipulating app for works on JPG/PNG/TIFF here.
