Mirror Reflection removal for ARW format?

The new AI to remove reflections works on *.RAW files but will not accept Sony's raw format *.ARW

Is this likely to be fixed shortly, or is there a way of converting *.ARW to a RAW format it likes?

I was having the same issue. The only way I can get it to work with .ARW files is to open the PS and locate the photo on my hard. It should automatically open in Camera Raw and the reflections removal should be available. I found that it wasn't working when I would click "edit in Adobe Photoshop 2025" from LR.

Thank you! That works for me.

I just tried it on an .ARW from a Sony a7R V - still the latest model in the a7R series - and reflection removal works as it should.

I'm guessing you have the camera set to reduced size raw? That won't work with most of these algorithms. They need to work with mosaiced Bayer encoded data. The smaller files have been demosaiced in camera, otherwise it would break the Bayer decoding in the raw processor.

Thanks for checking this.
My A6000 series is quite old now, and doesn't have such a choice of formats - there is RAW, RAW+JPEG, FINE and STANDARD, so I guess the RAW it saves is not 'mosaic'-ed (what that means is beyond my knowledge!) and I am stuck gradually unable to access more and more of such featres until I replace it.

Thanks again for checking.

Thanks. I am using a Sony A6000 series. For RAW in general, this works fine. It seems to be specifically the new AI reflection filter that isn't recognising it.

Which Sony camera model are your ARW files from? Newer, unsupported models require a Camera Raw upgrade.
