For a complete overview of camera support in Photoshop and Lightroom, visit the following article:

Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

  1. Make sure your version of Photoshop or Lightroom is updated for the latest camera support.
  2. If you own an older version of Photoshop or Lightroom, Adobe provides backward compatibility for the latest cameras through the FREE Adobe DNG Converter.

 

Note: ETAs for specific cameras are not available

The ARW format is used by many different Sony cameras. You can see in this list which models use which format if you scroll down to Sony:

What matters is support for each individual camera model.

 

The A7CR is a new model released in the past few weeks. Adobe has not yet added support to Camera Raw or the DNG converter for this model. So we all have to wait for an update from Adobe.

 

In the meantime use the Sony Imaging Edge software to open your Raw files and save them to TIFF. Then you can open the TIFF files (not the Raw files) in Adobe software.

 

Keep your Raw files safe. Once Adobe updates Camera Raw and DNG converter (probably in the next few weeks but the exact date is unknown), you will then be able to open the A7CR Raw files in Adobe.

Hi, 

Yesterday I received my new Sony A7CR. After 5 years I finally replaced my A7iii. 
I am using a Sony THOUGH V60 SD-card.


Problem: 
Adobe Lightroom doesn't read the RAW (uncompressed or compressed) file from the camera. All my Adobe products are up-to-date and my MacOs as well running the new Sanoma 14.0. When I import the RAW file to Lightroom it shows a large grey screen with a (!) where normally the photo is visible. HELP.

@Amrit Hoeba, the Sony A7CR is not yet supported by Camera Raw or LR:

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html 

 

Support for a new camera from a major manufacturer typically arrives in the release following the availability of the camera, sometimes in the next release after that. We might expect to see the next releases of CR and LR in mid-October during Adobe Max. (I have no inside information.)  

 

Meanwhile, you'll have to shoot in JPEG or use Sony's utility to convert from raw to TIFF.

Camrea RAW supports the a6700 from v15.5 & Lightroom from v6.5, or you can just use the latest version of the DNG Converter (v14+).

I can resist anything except temptation...

Hello, 

is there any possibility to add Canon EOS R6 mark II to supported camera list of Lightroom Classic? Camera Raw does support the camera but Lr Classic does not. Is there any way to add that camera SDK to the application soon so I can make pictures in the studio with the new camera?

The Canon R6 Mark II is already supported by Lightroom Classic.You need Lightroom 12.x.

The camera is already supported by CameraRAW 15.x.

My System: Intel i7-8700K - 64GB RAM - NVidia Geforce RTX 3060 - Windows 11 Pro 25H2 -- LR-Classic 15 - Photoshop 27 - Nik Collection 9 - PureRAW 6 - Topaz Photo AI

Hello All

 

I am sure this has been answered before. I have searched articles, but there are too many confussing threads and anserwes (I am old). Lol. My gifted Nikon D780 is great, but I have photoshop CS6 and the raw files cannot be proccessed using CS6 & Bridge on windows 10 PC. I attempted to download the latest update (twice) but no joy. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Recently bought Sony A6700 and cannot upload images into LR Classic as it does not accept the files.  It says " the files cannot be opened by LR" and "Preview unavailable for this file" as the files are ARW. 

When is Adobe going to update so that users of Sony A6700, which has been out for a couple of months now, can use LR normally.  Meanwhile I pay Adobe every month for using their services but cannot use the services because it does not upload my images to LR because they are ARW files.  A bit slack Adobe.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
