It's possible I may have made a basic mistake in opting for Lightroom 6 (as I am not a great fan of Adobe's CC subscriptions), which may not support the NEF files for my camera? (Nikon D850).
At any rate, what happens is this. In Gunter's book, on the section introducing visual workflow, when it comes to the "drag to lightroom" operation, spaces for the images appear in Lightroom, but no image thumbnails ("a preview is not available for tis image" occupies each image) and there are no keyframe star ratings etc. I tried using the "import" option in Lightroom (even though the ebook doesn't say to do this) and then it tells me my raw format is not recognized...basically for all images.
What is the best solution to this problem? In order of preference, I guess it would be something like
1) Update LR6 so that it can receive these camera files (this would be best, but not sure if it is possible)
2) Use DNG converter (I thought I had this installed already)
3) Change LR 6 to one of their non-standalone subscriptions (this would be my least favorite option, but will do it if necessary).
Just need some basic advice on moving forward here, as I'm stuck in position right now.
