[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 480241, member: 15805"] Untrue. Some apps do alter the original raw file. Nikon's own Capture NX2 is one. Once I edit an image with it, I cannot send it back to the camera and view it. It saves the editing steps in with the original image data and saves the whole thing as one file... NO sidecar. Even if I delete all my edits and save the file, it's still not the same as what came out of the camera. True, I can simply change my post workflow and save the edited image under a different filename, thus 'preserving' the original file that's SOOC. Over the years, I have found this to be true with other apps, but I don't recall what they were as I deleted them off my 'puter. What may be happening is the OP's app is trying to open a .NEF, when if finds an imbedded .JPEG image within it and opens that. That imbedded JPEG will not have any attendant EXIF with it, however.
