P: New Camera Raw File Support - Requests & Information

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.

I am trying to import photos from the Canon EOS R5 C but it is saying an error has occurred or the files have been corrupted. When will Lightroom support the Canon EOS R5 C and also for Adobe Premiere Pro on an Apple M1 Computer?

Are you sure that is the error message you see?

More likely the R5C is so new that Adobe have not yet added compatibility to LrC. The error message might say "not supported".

Only the EOS R5 is currently listed as supported-

Until support is provided (usually in a month or two after camera release) by Adobe you will need to use Canon' DPP to edit the CR3 files.

It's a shame that Canon and Adobe can't work together to make sure that there is a software update to support the new camera on the release date of the camera. Canon annouced the R5 C on Jan. 19, 2022 and released to the public on April 4, 2022. Canon supplied professionals and the media with preproductions versions of the camera nearly 2 months ago. So I don't see why it needs to take another month or two for Adobe to get there software to be compatible.

For EOS R5 C users.
I've resolved this issue by modifying metadata in RAW(CR3) files.

 

To import RAW files genelated by R5C to Lightroom Classic , We have to rewrite model name "R5 C" to "R5" via using suchu as a ExifTool.

It looks working well but you should pay attention for Terms of use by Canon about thier cameras.

In my opinion , it is no problem that rewriting metadeta in RAW files. Please use at your own risk.

 

I'm using this tool.

https://exiftool.org

Like this.

exiftool -model="Canon EOS R5" ./*.CR3

 

There seem to be other GUI Exif apps in Apple/MS store.

 

thiks.

"We have to rewrite model name "R5 C" to "R5" via using suchu as a ExifTool."

 

Beware that Canon may well have changed the image firmware in the R5 C, so telling LR / ACR to use the R5 camera profile with R5 C images may not give intended results (we don't know). Manufacturers often change the firmware when releasing new cameras based on older hardware, which is why Adobe always produces new camera profiles.   

 

If this works well for you, great, but others should be aware of the risks.

Lightroom is not opening raw files from a Canon EOS R5 C. Will there be a update? Does Canon and Adobe work together to get files compatible before releasing the camera raw file?

Hi,

 

We're sorry that you're not able to import the images from your Canon EOS R5 C into Lightroom. Since this is a new camera, it is currently not supported.

The Canon R5C is a very new camera and lightroom still doesnb't support these cam.

You have to wait of one of the next updates of Lightroom. 

In the meantime you can convert the CR3 files into DNG with the Canon tool and then you can import the DNGs into Lightroom.

According to the Adobe Camera Raw supported cameras table, the R5 C is not yet supported. Only the R5 is currently supported.

The Olympus OM-D E-M1 has been supported for a long time. Is that the model you are referring to? If not, what is the exact model of the camera in question?

Hi, I'm currently facing issues importing my CR3 Raw photos file from my new R5C into lightroom/ photoshop. It's saying the file is unsupported or damaged. This doesn't make sense to me, because it's effectively an R5 in photo mode? So shouldn't everything just be compatible? Hopefully there'll be an update soon! Thanks!
