I am unable to open Sony ARW files (Lossless Compressed RAW) created by a Sony A1 (ILCE-1) cameras running firmware Ver. 4.00. I am using the latest version of LrC 15.2.1 release and Camera Raw 18.2.2. Has anyone faced the same problem? Any solution would be much appreciated.

    If you have Photoshop installed, then try downloading the latest build of Camera Raw (i.e. 18.2.3). 

     

    Note that above version of Camera Raw is not available for Lightroom Classic. So, you must access it via Photoshop or Bridge.
