Problems macOs Ventura and Photos App.

After downloading macOs Ventura to my iMac. Editing photos in the Photos app is having problems. I use a Nikon Z7, i shoot in raw. Photos are nice and clear from the camera card. When i edited thru Photos App, photos are blurry and not focused. Had no problems with Monterey. Called Apple support, no help.

Hey Tony..

The problems seems to happen with raw files from the camera.. Maybe the file is to big. When i switch the camera to jpg mode. I can edited the photos in Photos app and drop pictures in my Dropbox folder. If i take a raw file and edited to Luminar AI first, then save to the Photos App., I can edited the photo and drop file to Dropbox folder. There's a bunch of people talking about this problem on MacRumors Forums. I think its a software problem. I'll be able to check the problem with another Nikon camera later today.

Is the camera battery fully charged or the camera connected to a power supply? Have you tried to use a card reader?

After the upgrade to Ventura my Macs are having problems to recognise devices without an own power supply.


Ventura should be able to read the RAW files from the Nikon Z7, if the camera is in the correct mode for downloading (Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura - Apple Support). Can Image Capture see the camera for downloading?

I played with it a bit more. Before upgrading to Ventura, I was using a USB-A to USB-C cable from a Sonnettech docking station. That used to both charge the camera and allow me to access the pictures from Photos. Now, it appears to charge it, but not see the photos. I tried the same thing with that docking station using a USB-C to USB-C cable and it still didn't work. These ports do work for powering and reading/writing to external drives and did to the camera before switching to Ventura. I tried the same with a SATECHI min-docking station, and it worked fine.

Can you post a couple of screenshots (CMD-shift-4) to show what you mean?

What happens if you open one of the raw files in preview?
What happens if you revert to original, and then try the edits again?
Does this happen with jpg images or only the raw files.
Can you download a raw file from a different camera - does it happen with this?

I'm having very buggy behavior as well with my Sony A7iii RAW files. With the RAW file open, often if I simply 2 finger touch the trackpad on my MBP, it will get blurry, sometimes the color balance shifts. Sometimes, I'll return to the picture and everything appears to be normal. Sometimes it reverts back to normal, sometimes it does not. What I've been doing is exporting the RAW file to Affinity, making my edits and saving the file as a TIFF or PNG.


It's difficult to get a screen capture of the color balance and exposure change because I can't do shift/command/4 and move the cursor with the trackpad at the same time.


Attached is an example of the blurry issue I'm having. The photo wasn't edited. It is a cropped screen capture of the same photo after simply touching the trackpad. I was freaking out a little because initially, I thought every picture from a 300 picture photo shoot was out of focus.


I always shoot RAW, but I may use JPEG for a while until this is resolved.
