The ORF files from the new OM System om-1 mkii are not loading in lightroom classic at the moment.

Is there any sight on when we can expect that to be updated?

Usually, a new camera from a major manufacturer is supported in the next release of LR following the availability of the camera. The OM-1 Mark II was just announced six days ago, with general availability on 2/26:

https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/om-system-om-1-mark-ii-initial-review

LR and ACR release about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see a release (LR 13.2) this week or next. So it seems unlikely this release would include support for the camera, unless OM System provided Adobe with early access to a production camera (which doesn't seem to happen that often). So if LR 13.2 doesn't include support, it will almost certainly be supported in LR 13.3 in 8-9 weeks.

Adobe almost never comments on dates.

Finally upgraded to Nikon Z7II (been a Nikonofile since 1965) but now PS5 won't open my RAW files. Any help is apreciated. <email address removed>

are there any plans to add support for new panasonic g9 mark II camera?

Support for a new camera from a leading manufacturer typically comes in the LR release following the release of the camera or, less frequently, the second following release. A new version of LR comes out about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 13.1 mid-December. (I have no inside information on this, and Adobe never announces such things ahead of time.)

Meanwhile, you can use Panasonic's software to convert raws to TIFFs and import those into LR.

I discovered that with the latest version of Lr that the Sony Lossless Medium and small ARW (RAW) files are not recognised as RAW files when trting to use the new AI denoise tool. I have reported this directly to Adobe tech support but they suggested also mentioning it here.

This is the reply I had from Adobe

"L, M and S are all special Sony files types that may not 'yet' be supported by Camera Raw, at least that was the case with previous models such as A7 IV

This is still not added feature in Lightroom Classic but thank you so much for putting forward this valuable suggestion and we will definitely add this feature in upcoming updates"

CR3 files from Canon EOS 200D Mark 2 is not recognized by Lightroom android. Request for you to work on a version to recognize CR3 files from Canon 200D Mark 2 soon.

The EOS 200D Mark 2 is a 4 year old camera so support has been available for a long time.

What exactly happens when you try to import Raw files from that camera?

Does this Adobe article help at all?

Hi, once i move the CR3 RAW file from the camera to Mobile, i try to upload it to Lightroom but it does not recognize the files at all. But when i try downloading a random CR3 file from net it is able to recognize it. When i checked some online forum earlier it said CR3 files from Canon EOS 200D MARK 2 is not compatible. But recently Lightroom has updated to the compatible cameras and i am able to see 200D. But still the issue persisits even after i have updated lightroom

But when i try downloading a random CR3 file from net it is able to recognize it.

Do you mean a random 200D Mark 2 RAW file?

Recently purchased a Sony A7C2 camera. Found out ARW files from this camera are not currently supported in Lightroom Classic. A solution offered was to update Lightroom to v 15.5? Found it on Adobe website and downloaded it but no idea how to update Lightroom Classic as it still shows the 12.5

The re is no lightroom version 15.5 so not sure where that came from. You might be referring to camera raw which is currently at version 16 and is a plugin for Photoshop - nothing to do with Lightroom and so won't help you. For your camera you need Lightroom v13 (https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html ) which should be released any moment now since the page linked above was just updated with that info so I would expect it to also be released today. So keep checking the creative cloud app and hopefully Adobe indeed releases it today.

Anyone have any idea when Adobe will push out RAW support for the A7C ii?

I wish this process was better coordinated. Seems like RAW support would be available before the camera is released, not the other way around....

By @johnnybregar

Agreed. We all do.

The camera makers certainly update their own software which ships with the camera. But Adobe and other 3rd party software vendors are at the end of the line.

Keep in mind:

Camera makers have no incentive to cooperate with 3rd party software vendors like Adobe so it rarely happens.
The Raw file format in a new camera could be tweaked, tested and debugged until the very last second. Adobe and others prefer to wait until the format is locked and the camera ships before they begin preparing a Camera Raw update for that camera. Then they only have to do it once. I think I would do the same if I was Adobe.

Be even nicer if camera manufacturers would included Save to DNG in-camera. Then we would not need constant Raw updates to use the images from our brand new cameras. Unfortunately camera makers have never shown any interest in DNG. Perhaps they think it somehow constrains their innovation and competitive edge. Unfortunately, proprietary Raw formats are here to stay and consumers are resigned to constantly chasing software updates.

I tryes DNG Converter but don't working with the new ARW sony format.

John Waller

The ARW format is used by many different Sony cameras. You can see in this list which models use which format if you scroll down to Sony:

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

What matters is support for each individual camera model.

The A7CR is a new model released in the past few weeks. Adobe has not yet added support to Camera Raw or the DNG converter for this model. So we all have to wait for an update from Adobe.

In the meantime use the Sony Imaging Edge software to open your Raw files and save them to TIFF. Then you can open the TIFF files (not the Raw files) in Adobe software.

Keep your Raw files safe. Once Adobe updates Camera Raw and DNG converter (probably in the next few weeks but the exact date is unknown), you will then be able to open the A7CR Raw files in Adobe.
