So when is Adobe going to update Camera RAW to read Nikon Z6 NEF files? ON1 does this already!

There is the adobe dog converter 11.1 beta you can use to convert the Z6 nefs to dog copies and open in photoshop until adobe releases the camera raw 11.1 update.

Oh, and Jeff asked this before - have you used Nikon Transfer? There was an old version that corrupted NEFs so that ACR couldn't open them. That bug was later fixed by Nikon, but if you've been using an earlier version that could be it.

Hi sandrac,

Please sign out and sign in from the Creative Cloud Desktop app and you should see the latest update of Lightroom Classic CC.

sandrac,

What operating systems do you have?

I'm afraid if your computers don't meet the specs for the beta 11.1 dng converter, then they won't be able to use the 11.1 camera raw plugin either.

Hi I have El Capitan, which tell me NO. And I have Windows 8.1 (32 bit), which doesn't seem to work though not sure. Apparently you need Windows 7 service pack 1 or Windows 10...

No, the question has not been answered. The question has been dodged. The DNG Conveter works, it's true. You can convert all your NEFs to .dng files, and then edit them, but that's not a solution, that's a work around, and for all of us photographers who edit 10's of thousands of pictures a year, it's a pain in the ass to add yet another step to our processes.

So, the question still stands:

when is Adobe going to update Camera RAW to read Nikon Z6 NEF files

Seriously, when? I know that LR already supports the Z7's NEFs, but PS doesn't, and neither of them support the Z6 NEFs.

When they do it will be done they do not publish when they may state next year but give not data. Next year there will a Photoshop like CC for the iPad Pro that Adobe stated. no date was given and little details about what would actually be in Photoshop CC IOS version much can not be in Photoshop CC IOS for IOS lacks device support and other desktop OS features support.

When will you die do you know when the event is schedual for do you have it schedualed. It may be Adobe does not have it on and schedual. If the is a schedual will it be meet.
