Question

P: Lightroom Mobile and Sony A7Siii HEIF format.

Hey!

I would love to be able to edit the 4:2:2 HEIF photos from my new Sony A7Siii.

Lightroom mobile cannot see them in the camera roll or import them in any way. 

 

Thanks.

Greetings all, 

 

Updates for Camera Raw are available. The July release (18.4.1) has an update regarding this feature request. 


If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by pressing [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[R].

Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

 

Thank you for being so patient.


Note: Camera Raw is the Edit/Develop Engine powering the Lightroom clients. New Edit features must be built in Camera Raw before the Lightroom clients can adopt them. Unburdened by the additional cataloging, syncing, and other workflow functionalities, Camera Raw can move more quickly to get these desired new features into your editing workflow. Our goal is to eventually port these features into the Lightroom clients.

Try asking your question in this different forum where the developers monitor more closely. This is primarily a user supported forum.

Just had a new Lightroom update with new cameras support, but still no HEIFF support from Sony cameras. why? It is so much better file forman than JPEG.

Bump. Adobe, it's now February and I still can't import Sony A7SIII HEIF files on any Mac/iOS Lightroom product. Please fix this.
