I don't know if I do something wrong (probably), but I recently started to use Phoitomator on my Mac with local files (not in iCloud). I'm working with .DNG files (conversion from .NEF that are not supported on the Mac, yet without conversion using Adobe Bridge or DNG Converter).

Now, I go a new iPad Pro and moved my folders containing the .NET, .DNG & .edit files all within the same folder. When I try to open the edit file, Photomator tells me it cannot open that file.

Help is welcomed here! Thanks in advance.

Today's release of Photmator includes support for Nikon Z f RAW images (even if the base OS doesn't yet support those). I was super happy about this until I tested with a .NEF file coming from my Nikon Z f camera, but I still get the same error message: Pixelmator cannot open that file.

Make sure you do not confuse the Mac and iOS updates, they are not always in sync and may come at different time. Also make sure you updated your apps, obviously

Yes thanks. Of course. It appears that not all RAW image from Nikon Z f are yet supported. Only 14-bit for now.
