So, if the new LR update with the AI denoise is supposed to read RAW files, why wont mine read files from my Sony A7R5? It tells me it is not currently compatible with this file and I need to manually denoise the image.... all apps are updated....

I just updated to the latest LR CLassic version 13.3.1 Camera Raw 16.3.1 and this problem still persists. But your article was helpful. So all in all what works from A7RV: L, Compressed, Uncompressed RAW. What does not work is S, M RAW.

I dunno why Adobe would not get these supported. A bit of disappointment as I have to shoot weddings in higher format for later denoise and waste the memory card.

They may support these formats in the future. For now, any type of compressed file is not supported.

Actually, it's not the compression. Compressed files work.

It's the smaller downsampled files; M and S. That doesn't work, and I suspect it has to do with demosaicing. Downsampling obviously disrupts the Bayer pattern.

I don't know if these files are demosaiced in camera, or if there is a special demosaicing "formula" that Adobe doesn't have access to. But for now, Denoise only works with standard Bayer encoding.

I am having the same issue. I shoot Medium RAW for the wedding I just did knowing that I was going to use the Denoise in LRC for the higher ISO captures. I originally imported as standard Sony RAW files when I noticed it said "Not Compatible with this photo format."

So I then removed photos from LR and re imported them and converted to .DNG hoping that was the issue. But it is still giving me the same error. Kind of annoying, I don't use the 61 MP for weddings as there is no point to me in such large files. But if I want to Denoise them, I have to deal with massive file sizes just to do it. Seems kinda stupid.

I just imported the A7IV files which I shoot normal full size compressed and Denoise works perfectly fine. So it definitely seems to be an issue with the "Lossless Compressed" files at least with the A7RV.
