****, don't know if you're trying to be an *** or what, but I'll leave it with you.

Most RAW files contain a full size JPEG conversion of the image, which is used to preview the file on the camera's LCD panel.

Yes, I'm sure. I downloaded a large sampling of RAW images from various manufacturers to test.

This camera was only announced in July 2017. Camera raw support will occur when Nikon gets the 850 code support to Apple, and Apple can work it into their release schedule. Apple is not going to issue a camera raw update for just one camera, but for several, each of which must be tested — not only with a forthcoming operating system release, but also with Apple applications that support that camera raw functionality.

Apple does not confide in us about future product plans, so we cannot be expected to know when either.

Adobe released it's support of the Nikon D850 on September 7 2017, just two months after the 'official' Nikon announcement. macOS 10.13.2 System Report, Raw Support says the the D850 RAW is supported, but it is not. Apple Camera Raw update as of December 19, 2017 says that the D850 is supported "as of 12/19/2017", but it is NOT, and there is no update in the App store. Apple has said via the two examples I provided that they are going to support the Nikon D850, they just haven't done it yet, and it's been around five months. They *have* added *other* cameras during this time, and I am sure they have the resources to add support for the D850.

The jpegs contained in the RAW files are NOT full size, but feel free to think so. I've written a utility that will replace the embedded jpeg with a full size one, but then you probably have you own definition of "full size". Typically the embedded jpegs are replaced with a higher quality one during the RAW conversion or using some other utility (LR). The embedded jpegs are 'temporary' in nature until a 'full size' is rendered later, usually on the computer. I misunderstood you, I thought that you actually had 45 Nikon cameras that supported RAW, my mistake. As it regards Nikon, 'L' is not a RAW file 'combined' with a jpeg, just so you'll understand.

Yes just a ridiculous situation, from those that purport to be at the forefront of technology.

July to November, four months c'mon

stop sticking up for them

Apple supports Nikon D850 RAW L format only.

Not yet they don't. I only shoot RAW L, and macOS doesn't know what type of file it is. That's as of 10:57am Eastern US time, macOS 10.13.2

I have no access to Nikon RAW L files so I can't add anything other than what Apple posted. I know RAW NEF files are not supported. I do have samples of those.

If you're shooting 'full size' RAW on a D850, that is 'Large'. macOS supports all my previous Nikon NEF files from previous cameras.

Well, all I read was the L format was a RAW and jpg image combined. And yes, I have NEF images from 45 different Nikon cameras which are supported. No idea what difference that makes.

*ALL* RAW file have jpegs embedded. 45 different Nikon cameras? Are you sure?

I never said they were. You should quit while you're behind.

You said "Most RAW files contain a full size JPEG conversion of the image"

Have a good day sir.

Actually it's a direct quote from this Wiki page. Scroll down to File contents. You're welcome to argue with them.
