Camera Raw Plugin for Lightroom 4

When I try and edit a CR2 file in Lightroom (LR) 4, I keep getting a message that this version of LR requires a photoshop camera raw plugin of 7.4 or full compatibility. I get the option to cancel, render using LR which coverts this to a tiff file or open as a tiff file. I cannot find this version of camera raw plug in on your site. I am using Lightroom 5. Please advise.

Hi Amy,

I'm a bit confused, you say you're tring to edit in LR4, but then say you're using LR5.

Personally, I import my CR2 files into LR5 as DNG's and have no problem editing them in straight LR5 or the other plugins I have from Topaz and NIK using Photo>Edit in>plugin-name. One advantage of using DNG's is they are smaller file sizes than CR2's, and are "future compatible", according to Adobe.

you should be able to update lr 5 using help>update.

or, if you're somewhat adventurous, you could update your lr to lr 5.3, http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/lightroom5-3.html
