Won’t import RAW file

[HPleskin]

When I try to import the RAW photo from my Photos on iPad Pro,I get the message “Failed to open file”

and at the bottom it just say “The file type is not supported “

With previous version,I never ever experienced any kind of a problem with RAW files.

Hi @HPleskin,

Welcome to the forums and sorry for the delayed reply.

What camera model have you got? Is it supported by Apple? https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT208967

Thanks,

Gabe.

I have the same issue when attempting an import from Photos with the Olympus Pen E-PL9 RAW format. Just says it failed, shows a path to the temp file, and then says it's not supported. It's definitely supported by Apple, the files are viewable and editable inside the Photos app. I have the 3rd Gen 12.9 inch iPad Pro, 512GB of storage.

As an additional note, tested this with Dropbox, also fails for the Olympus. It will, however, open files (if I make them available offline in Dropbox, freezes at about 85% downloading otherwise) from my D850.

Hi @spqr,

Welcome to the forums. Try to reboot your iPad. Mine had the same issue first time when I tried to open a sample from E-PL9, but worked fine after a reboot.

That did the trick.
