Hey,

does anyone know when an update is going to take place so that the ARW files of a Sony a7iii can be loaded into Lightroom?
Currently I can only import the JPG files and the ARW files are not supported.

Thanks!

Which version of Lightroom are you using? According to this page, the A7III is already supported in Lightroom, but you do need Lightroom Classic 7.3. Earlier versions do not support it and never will. If you use an earlier version your should download the latest version of Adobe DNG Converter (free) and convert your .arw files to .dng before you import them.

According to Brian Smith, a Sony ambassador, Adobe is not going to support the Sony A7iii raw files for the "old" LR 6.XXX anymore.

"No more updates for LR6 ever"-BS

What a shame! It is time to fly and use another software.

Nobody but Adobe will know that, and they very rarely give out dates and content of the next update. You could ask at the official Adobe feedback site - Lightroom Classic CC | Photoshop Family Customer Community - but you'll almost certainly get the same answer over there.
