Today's update fixed one problem but intrduced another....

The pixel-shifted file with the NEFX extension at at 180MP resolution can now be open in Lighroom, no problems. That's great.

However, if zoomed in to a 100% while in the Library, the file will be correctly rendered and in fact zoomed in to 100%, but when taken to the Develop module, the file wil atuomatically be reduced to a much lower resolution - the normal file size resoluton of 45MP. Why?

So it works in Library but not in the Develop modules!

Using Lightroom 13.2, I am unable to open/edit any NEFX files. When opened, in LR, it displays: 

Lightroom has encountered problems reading this photo.

You will not be able to make adjustments to the photo.

 

I discovered that the only way round this impasse is to save the file (in NX studio)  as a ‘tif’. This enables LR to open and edit the tif file.
