P: New Camera Raw File Support - Requests & Information

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

For a complete overview of camera support in Photoshop and Lightroom, visit the following article:

Why doesn't my version of Photoshop or Lightroom support my camera?

1. Make sure your version of Photoshop or Lightroom is updated for the latest camera support.
2. If you own an older version of Photoshop or Lightroom, Adobe provides backward compatibility for the latest cameras through the FREE Adobe DNG Converter.

Note: ETAs for specific cameras are not available.

When is it expected that Camera Raw (for PS and LR) will be updated to include Sony A7RV?

[Ranjisha Sengupta]

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out.

Image support is not available because the sony a7rv was launched just a month ago.

We request you allow us some time to add that to the list. We will update it in our community whenever the update comes.

Thanks.

Don't bite, don't feed the trolls. There is no such link.

If one is a creative cloud subscriber you can learn about their beta program here: https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/creative-cloud-beta.html There is a beta version of Photoshop in there but I am not sure if that includes camera raw but anybody can download. Prerelease info is here but you generally have to be invited to get access: https://blog.developer.adobe.com/how-to-join-creative-cloud-prerelease-programs-ccecc10ae7d3

It doesn't. 

Adobe has in the past (way, way past): https://www.dpreview.com/articles/7739100468/adobe-cr24beta

Indeed, there is a public beta of Photoshop as you describe.

a dog can bite my hand - so I can't - but be assured - there is a beta !

If you have only imagined it, you haven't experienced it.

Picked up the new Sony a7R V on Wednesday and took a couple test shots and I can't open any of the RAW files in photoshop.  Is there an update coming?  Been shooting a7R III with no problems.

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

I don't see the a7R V listed (yet) so I would expect you'll have to wait for an updated Camera Raw release to use.

Otherwise you can try using the DNG converter:

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

I stand corrected, according to this post you'll need to use Sony's own RAW converter until an update is released by Adobe:

Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom (Classic) are normally lagging camera releases. It's not always good to be at the forefront of the (Camera) progress. The DNG Converter does normally support new raw file formats in parallel with Lightroom/Adobe Camera Raw, as they are using the same engine to decode the file formats. A workaround would be to use the Sony converter to get a TIFF file.

[TheDigitalDog]

is there a beta version of camera raw that will allow import of sony ar7 v images?

By @lgclar

Those that actually know cannot say. 

Those that don't know and assume say a lot; ignore them. They are trolling and not able to answer the question. 

Anyone with a (possible) beta of anything from Adobe is under NDA. They are not able to post an accurate answer.

Just received the NEW MODEL Sony A7R5 camera.

Trying to import some shots (ARW files) into LRC 12.0.1 with Camera Raw 15. on MacBook pro running Big Sur 11.6.8

They are not playing well. 

Everything I see says it is suported and should be no problem. But, no go.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Where did you see it is supported?

[Rob27508579za65]

Yeah, I didn't realize there was a difference in the ARW files between camera models.

Maybe the next update will include compatability.  Thanks.

[markhadden]

It's not supported. Check the lasts 19'pages of  this thread haha

It is useful for everyone here to realize that many users ask about raw camera support outside not only this thread but outside this forum (like the Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, forums). Moderators attempt to clean up these posts and place them in older discussions like this one that has an official answer from Adobe along with correct answers to the question(s). When a question like "When is it expected that Camera Raw (for PS and LR) will be updated to include xxx" in other forums or posts, they posts get merged here, and the original poster should get notified of this. But that poster may not read through dozens of pages or even view the correct answers.

Please add RAW support for the new Sony A7R V. So many of us are waiting for this.

[anthonyz27413724]

Is there any word on Raw support in Lightroom classic for the Sony A7r V? You'd think they'd have had compatibility already for such a popular and anticipated camera...

[DdeGannes]

Camera released Oct 26th, LrC 12 released Oct 18th. 
LrC update expected in a couple of weeks hopefully the Camera gets support then.

Adobe team,

Any updates on when the new camera Sony A7RV (ILCE7RM5) will be added to use in lightroom?
