I have a Nikon z 6ii and have only shot jpeg until resently and I switched to raw tried downloading photos onto my MacBook Pro the jpeg photos downloaded just fine but the raw were just a gray square. My MacBook has the latest iOS. Need help, my son says to buy a windows computer they don’t have that problem.
Hello cziegs,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
We want to make sure these RAW files are showing as expected on your Mac.
Try these steps to get the files showing as a RAW file instead of JPEG:
"Use a RAW file as the original in Photos on Mac
Some cameras allow you to shoot photos in both RAW and JPEG formats simultaneously. When you import photos from these cameras, Photos uses the JPEG file as the original—but you can tell it to use the RAW file as the original instead.
on your Mac, double-click a photo to open it, then click Edit in the toolbar.This Apple Support page has the full details: Use a RAW file as the original in Photos on Mac - Apple Support
We hope this helps to quickly resolve the issue and get the photos showing correctly as RAW files.
Cheers!
FWIW, Nikon Z6 ii RAW files are fine on my Macs running Monterey 12.6.
iOS is for iPhones and iPads. Macs run macOS.
Your right, I have Catalina OS on my MacBook Pro and it won’t open raw files from my z6ii. I had jpeg and raw on the same card and the jpeg open just fine
