when i import ARW. file lightroom and photoshop error The file appears to be unsupported or damaged ,
ChatGpt said : If this .ARW file is from a new Sony camera, your Lightroom version may be old and doesn’t support that camera’s RAW format yet.
i alredy update my lightroom versions still not supported , whats the Solution ?

    Only Lossless Compressed Raw is supported at this time for Sony A7 V (ILCE-7M5).

    I have the same problem, even after the latest update. When is this problem going to be fixed?

    Can’t figure out how to post my question there. Also, it’s not called RAW but ARW., but maybe it’s the same file type under a different name
