Just update your adobe camera raw. Works for D850 and Z7.

I believe Nikon offers the codex that once installed on your computer it will then support the RAW

I try to keep my Photoshop up to date but it doesn't show me thumbnails from my D850. It works fine with my D810. I use Bridge as a light table to look at the D850 files and then double click to send them to Photoshop. That has been a good work-around for me.

Irfanview will let you see them.

You can also process it in the Nikon software, just as with any RAW software, and you could save it as TIFF or PSD.

I am able to see the Raw photos in Lightroom and also in Photoshop but I didn't have Photoshop CC before all I had was elements 15 my problem is I can't see them in OneDrive and I can't see him in elements 15 which I like to use to OneDrive is my biggest problem that's where I store my photos and I go through them before I added him and dump the bad ones there and I can't see him in OneDrive I have send an email to Microsoft see if they have an update for it

Check Nikon's website for codec update that should fix your problem.

Yes I know, but the statement was to save them out as jpeg prior to PP. Which negates having shot them in RAW in the first place to get the additional latitude for post processing an unbaked file.

To me, one obvious choice would be to shoot and save as TIFFs until the software gets updated. No extra processing steps, no image degradation, no extra software to install.

TIFF still doesn't have the latitude of RAW. From NikonUSA.com


Exclusive to Nikon cameras, the NEF is Nikon's RAW file format. RAW image files, sometimes referred to as digital negatives, contain all the image information captured by the camera's sensor, along with the image's metadata (the camera's identification and its settings, the lens used and other information). The NEF file is written to the memory card in either an uncompressed or "lossless" compressed form.

The primary benefit of writing images to the memory card in NEF format rather than TIFF or JPEG is that no in-camera processing for white balance, hue, tone and sharpening are applied to the NEF file; rather, those values are retained as instruction sets included in the file. You can change the instruction set as many times as you like without ever disturbing the original image's RAW data. Another benefit of the NEF file is that depending on the camera, it retains 12-bit or 14-bit data, resulting in an image with a far greater tonal range than an eight-bit JPEG or TIFF file.

After-capture processing of the NEF file by Nikon's Capture NX2 software, or other imaging programs, offers greater control over the final image than the processing of a JPEG or a TIFF. After processing, the NEF file can be saved as a TIFF, JPEG or again as a NEF with the addition of any applied Capture NX2 processing saved inside the file as a second or alternate instruction set. As long as the original NEF file is preserved, the "digital negative" remains untouched; processing a NEF file does not alter the original instruction set.

I have always used RAW files over the years. RAW affords you greater latitude when editing.
I would like to thank everyone for their responses. This is why I love Hedgehog, I always learn and being an old guy it keeps me out of trouble (mostly)

First make sure you have the most recent version of "camera raw". Then go to the Nikon site and download the current "Nef codec"
