Nikon D850 RAW Files

Hi Does anyone know how to open Nikon D850 RAW files...I have some sample pics taken 2 days ago but can't open through Lightroom,Camera Raw,DNG converter or Nikon software?

Thanks

Jon

stephank46698007  see my post above on where to locate the "Update". I gave a link and then you scroll down below "Application Installers" to "Updates". Then you select your operating system and install. Lightroom 6 version 6.13 now works for me on a MAC and PC thankfully.

D850 RAW works brilliant on lightroom cc classic

9.12.1 comes with elements 2018,,,, why doesn't it open d850 NEF

[JP Hess]

It should. What happens when you try?

[tomz67932750]

I upgrade to Camera Raw 10.0 and it worked. Seems it ships with 9.12 not 9.12.1.

Still

The converted files are weak…. Not even as strong as the Nikon JPG of the same image. Do you know any other tools to use?

[JP Hess]

Define weak. If you mean they are flat, or don't have any "zip" to them, that is expected. It's up to you to create your own Camera Raw defaults that will do the initial processing when the images are first imported. Camera Raw isn't going to honor any in-camera settings. When you work with the raw images, it's all up to you to make the final image what you expect it to be.

Incidentally, I downloaded some sample images from the Nikon D850 a while back, and didn't find them "weak" at all. So I don't really understand what you might be referring to. I don't have that camera. I'm still stuck with the D7100 with no plans to make a move. I'm too old and facing too many other challenges right now. Besides that, that camera does me well enough. I suppose I'm too easily pleased.

Would you care to share one of them via dropbox or similar?

[tomz67932750]

Sure… do you have one?

I just took another test set and the raw files are grainy compared to the Jpeg. I can send you two samples if you have a way

Do you have a Dropbox account or a OneDrive account?
