![]() ![]() This is the simplest and cleanest way to set up the program so your files do not fill up your hard drive. (I am assuming all this about catalog location as I do not use NX Studio, but assume the options are similar to CP1). The reason is that the editing/processing speeds are faster than if the catalog is located on the hard drive. Your 'catalog', which is the history of what is done to each file, is normally maintained on your hard drive. All work is done on these 'referenced' files. ![]() Then you set up an external drive to import your new Z8 files. But the way you want to use it is limited by your desire to access your Apple Photos Library.įirst.you absolutely D/L NX Studio on your hard drive. The only stand alone free program is Nikon's NX Studio. But in the end, I see that your restriction, right now, is that you don't want to pay for a pro style editing program that accepts the Z8 Raw files. Well, at least I've learned that one of the criteria for deciding to buy a newly released camera is to make sure that the camera will create image files that will work with your post-processing software!Ĭlick to expand.James, you have tried a lot of things and received great advice. (Which I can't do in Affinity, or I guess most other editing apps, since it requires the edited photo to be saved or exported in a format other than RAW.) When the "Photos" app finally supports the Z8 RAW format, I can then go about editing them and (should) still have the benefit of having the edited photo in its original RAW format. ![]() Interestingly, I can still add Keywords and location metadata to each photo so that I can at least catalog the photo into the album for each bird species. I, then, close the photo in Affinity, and repeat the procedure, one-at-a-time, for every photo that I've imported from the Z8 into the Photos app. So, as of now, the only solution to at least viewing the Z8's RAW photos is for me to import them into Apple's Photos app (where they appear as blank, gray squares), then launch Affinity Photo 2, then drag & drop a photo from the Photos app into the Affinity window, where it opens properly, and decide if I want to keep it or trash it in the Photos app. NX Studio installed on my Mac's hard drive, and I got the same error message again when I tried to tell the Z8 photo in my photolibrary to "Edit with NX Studio." Then, I tried installing NX Studio from the external drive with my wildlife photos to see if I could install it there, AND if that might allow the photos to be editable. So I uninstalled NX Studio, and re-booted my Mac. I tried a couple of times and got the same error. I then selected: "Edit with", and then clicked on "NX Studio." I got the following error message: View attachment 66410 I then, right-clicked on one of the empty grey squares that represent the Z8 RAW photos that I imported a few days ago. (That didn't surprise me.) So I opened the Apple Photos app using the photolibrary on the external drive. It saw some old photos that I'd saved on my external drive, but it couldn't see photos inside the Apple phot library on the external drive. I tried installing it on my iMac's hard drive. Well, I tried NX Studio (again) today to see if it might offer a solution. ![]()
