When will Lightroom be able to edit RAW files from the new Sony A7 IV?

Update your copy though the CC application.

It “went” as it has for decades. And will continue to. Don't be surprised if Sony doesn't reply here. Adobe already has.

Are you guys talking about Lightroom mobile? My Creative Cloud dont show any updates for either Lightroom or LR Classic, even after manually searching for updates. I still can not import the awr files.

All Lightrooms were updated to add support for several new cameras, including the A7 IV.

Perhaps the update is being progressively deployed to the regions.

I cannot open RAW files from new SONY A7M4 in PS and Lightroom, can you add this camera to supported devices?

Please see for yourself which version of Camera Raw supports a camera and which version of Photoshop is compatible with that ACR version:

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html

If you prefer processing RAW images with ACR instead of the camera maker’s proprietary software you might want to petition them to allow shooting DNG so that Adobe does not have to play catch-up with each new camera model’s RAW format.

The solution is easy but those that can solve the problem will not: STOP making proprietary raws!

No issues with camera JPEGs. Not proprietary.

Simple.

Very short vision to solving the issue...

My answer is work hand in hand with manufacturers, that's what Adobe should do.

And don't tell me it's not possible... once again that's irrelevant...

Be proactive, if a new model is announced, plan your update accordingly.

Adobe should be seemlessly updated with cameras, it's simply common sense.

Not even trying (especially when it's recurrent) means, they don't care... and so don't care of the inconvenience for their clients...

Work hand and hand until the manufacturer refuses.

Examine the history. Of DNG as one example. Adobe tried. A few manufacturers of cameras did, most did not.

Common sense isn't a flower that grows in everyone's garden.

That's really piss me off... Been weeks now.

Adobe is supposed to work for pros? Do everything to let them work then, you are currently delaying my work.

Is it a pro position to you??? That is not annoying, it is unacceptable for pros, you guys have to review your copy, your workflow and management, once again unacceptable, not pro-active, not serious, not pro.

What saves you is your dominance on the market... Otherwise your careless position toward your clients would harm you...

Enough of saying it's always like that.

Enough of saying you can't do anything about it.

Is it with that kind of mindset Adobe became an industry leader? By saying "Oh we can't... deal with it... bye"

If you guys know there is a pain, solve it, that's how you please clients and win the market.

I can't believe your statuquo...

Please show us where Adobe or anyone else stated: "Oh we can't... deal with it... bye".

Maybe you should be a tiny bit more patient.... Not only can they deal with it, they will.

For proprietary raws, it's always like this. Until it isn't.

Meanwhile: Please show us where Adobe or anyone else stated: "Oh we can't... deal with it... bye".

Well to me it just show that Adobe does not want to solve the issue.

An issue is not necessary technical... That's why Adobe management should work harder to solve it, and don't tell me it's because of Sony, that's irrelevant...
