Logical.?Īlso along the same line of thought would be that in moving and storing data within a computer using it`s native operating system, would not result in intervention by another process to add tags or alter the way that same data displays when opened using the computer`s basic operating system.? I guess my flawed logic differs somewhat from the 'normally'expected operation of PP programmes and file manipulation, in that if I want to use a specific programme to open specific data in a specific file, my expectations would be that I would open the programme of my choice as a first step, then within that programme request to open the data to be worked with.

Thanks for the valued input v_kyr, I am now somewhat reassured.

How to change the default application for a file typeĢ Ways to Change the Default Application to Open Files With in Mac OS X Further you can change that behavior and the app which should open NEF files as default app. In your case it's only indicated that Affinity will be here the default app which then opens those if you perform a double click on one of those NEFs. However, just copying selected NEF files from inside the Finder from the cardreader over to some other folder location on your SSD/hard disk doesn't alter or change these NEF files by Affinity or whatever app might be the associated as the default app to open these. You can change that to Apples Preview.app or one of the Nikon apps (NXView, Capture NX-D) if you have those installed. So as said before I assume that Affinity Photo might be setup on your side as the default app to open these. But that it also listes below other apps which can deal with that NEF extension (aka open them) and you can always select another one to open these. If you perform a right click on a NEF file the finder menu, it's 'Open with.' submenu shows you as the top most entry, which app is actually associated here to be the one which will get the file passed over to open as default. You can assign under OSX which of the apps that can deal with NEF raw files and should open these as default. Yup all a tad complex for a selective Luddite such as I. Or that any photos which I may have subjected to Affinity PP processes will also display in the form of the end product of those PP processes. My hope is that this will not inhibit my ability to view my photos on another device that may not have Affinity loaded.

alteration (Affinity enable etc) and the Colourful 'A' of Affinity seems to display sporadically over some of the NEFs when viewing them in COVER FLOW, which is a tad frustrating. I sought to avoid using Affinity or iPhoto as a means of copying from my flashcard via USB as directly (?) as possible to the folders that I had created on the Mac in the hope of avoiding automated processes that might seek to imprint themselves on my RAW data though as I suspected this has proven to be part of the operation of some, if not all PP programmes.?Īs I typed even when viewing the contents of the flashcard there has been some measure of control / I.D. If High Sierra is the OS in a 2017 iMac, then that is what I am running.
