Question

Canon 5D Mark IV and photoshop compatibility

Hello,

I've got a couple of questions about the compatibility of the Mark IV raw and Photoshop CC.

I'm currently still using PS CC2014 and its related CR version.

Is it this version compatible with the Mark IV Raw? If not,  is it possible to update only CR and leave PS CC 2014?

Thanks in advance.

    Nobody knows. Well, those who do know are bound by a nondisclosure agreement not to tell. You have to remember that your camera model isn't the only model that Adobe is concerned about. There really are other camera makers that need to be supported as well. In my opinion, Adobe seems to make conscious efforts to provide updates in as timely a manner as possible. My guess is that the next update to Lightroom will come in the next few 2-4 weeks. But that is only a guess. To get the real answer, you'll just have to wait until the next release comes. Be aware that Lightroom 6 and Lightroom CC, Photoshop CC and the latest version of Photoshop Elements  are the only versions that will receive the update to support your new camera.

      No point in getting the new camera at the first day if the software that you use in the workflow isn't capable of handling the images. Very frustrating.

        Adobe didn't say "soon", they never announce release dates in advance. So ...

        Sure wish they would hurry up with update.  Creating the TIF files and then sending to LR that way is such a long winded way of doing things.  I'm not going to bother with any more RAW on mark iv until update comes out.  Might have to stick to RAW  on the mark iii for now.  Sometimes being one of the first comes with drama but I'm sure we will all be very happy once Adobe sort this for us. Come on Adobe, you know we love you

          At this moment, the Canon 5D Mark IV raw files cannot be used in Adobe software. You'd hvae to use the manufacturer's software to convert the files to TIF, and then you can use them in Adobe software. Most likely when the next Adobe software update comes out, then you will be able to use the RAWs from this camera.

            Thanks for you quick answer!That's what I suspected... But do you know if it is possible to only update CR (maybe manually?) and not Photoshop? Or I would have to update everything to the latest cc release? Sorry if I ask, it seems stupid question but I always update them together so I have no idea.. Thanks!

            ACR should be a separate item in the CC Desktop updates list so I think you can update just it, unless it doesn’t work with CC 2014 for some reason. I don’t know because I don’t have CC 2014 on my computer, anymore. Do you have ACR 9.6.1, now, or something much older? Use Help / About Plug-in / Camera Raw to find out what version.
