Start with one guided setup.
The guided installer places ZR RAW Extended in Applications and checks that this Mac is ready.
- 01Run the installer
Quit ZR RAW Extended before upgrading, then open the installer from the DMG. If macOS blocks this non-notarized community build, review System Settings > Privacy & Security and choose Open Anyway only if you trust the download.
- 02Let guided setup finish
One launcher guides setup in Terminal. It checks required components before replacing the app in Applications and preserves your previous app. Some steps need internet access or administrator approval.
- 03Password appears blank?
That is normal. At the macOS Password prompt, type your Mac login password and press Return. Terminal shows no letters or dots. Never share your password with support.
- 04Choose an engine
DaVinci Resolve and REDCINE-X / REDline appear as supported RAW integrations when available on the Mac.
- 05Open the app
The installer opens ZR RAW Extended from Applications. A short first-run walkthrough covers engine, queue, and notifications.
- 06Future updates happen in-app
On Build 247 or newer, choose ZR RAW Extended > Check for Updates. Earlier builds need the latest installer once. Review the notes, download, and click Install and Relaunch. The app restarts with your queue and settings preserved. Active work must finish first; administrator approval may be required.
Ready for this Mac.
The app is installed before support tools are checked.
Fictional files and demo imagery illustrate the ZR RAW Extended 1.2.3 workflow. Build 239 adds the redesigned workspace and clearer automatic review.
