With luck, the more people who tell them about this problem (possibly) the sooner it will be fixed.

I would suggest that any other Mac users who've run into this Z8 RAW roadblock also send Apple feedback. I have already sent feedback to Apple about this problem. Imagine my shock and disappointment when I imported my first uncompressed RAW photos into the Apple 'Photos' app on my Mac and saw just blank, grey squares where the images' thumbnails should have been! I was very happy when my brand new Nikon Z8 arrived a couple of days ago. Here's the link: After doing a LOT of research, and thinking about getting a Nikon Z8, I finally decided to get one. I realize that with any new hardware or software, one puts themselves on the 'bleeding edge' of technology and unexpected problems (and their related frustrations) are why it is called 'the bleeding edge.' I'm just wondering, do I:ġ) hang up the Z8 and go back to using my D500 for however long it takes for this issue to be resolved, orĢ) go out and use the Z8 and take photos that I know I can't easily review & sort through on my computer? I guess I can go back to using my D500 so that I have USABLE photos until Nikon and most of the 3rd party app developers make their software work with Z8 photos. Now I am in a real quandary! I just spent thousands of dollars on a camera (and accessories) that produces RAW photos that are nearly unusable in my current workflow. I have since learned of others here on BCG having the same issue, and not just with Apple Photos on their Macs, but other 3rd party photo editing apps (e.g., Adobe Lightroom).

(Affinity Photo 2 doesn't seem to have any problems working with Z8 uncompressed RAW photos, by the way.) But if I can't SEE the photos that I've just imported, I AM STUCK! For more detailed editing, I use Affinity Photo 2. I use the Photos app for sorting, cataloging (by species), and simple editing of my bird/wildlife photos.
