Hi everyone. I'm having a pretty strange problem that I can't find the answer for anywhere. I have a Sony A7C and am shooting in RAW, which is officially supported by Mac OS. Usually I can open my photos no problem in Preview, but recently I am unable to open some, but not all of the photos. Once or twice a couple of photos weren't able to open before, but recently sometimes as many as 100 of the photos I took during a shoot can't be opened by Preview. When I try to open one of these photos, I get the message "The file “(file name here)” could not be opened. Preview currently does not support this raw file format." But most of the other photos I can open no problem. It seems rather inconsistent. I'm also able to open the photos that can't be opened by Preview in Imaging Edge no problem, further confusing me. I'm having this problem on both my 2021 M1 Pro Macbook Pro and my 2019 Macbook Air, for a little more context. Any insight into why this strange problem is happening would be appreciated!
