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.

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
