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

Adobe does not announce updates in advance.

Okay thanks, I'm hoping they'll update it soon though.

Hi, I'm currently facing issues importing my CR3 Raw photos file from my new R5C into lightroom/ photoshop. It's saying the file is unsupported or damaged. This doesn't make sense to me, because it's effectively an R5 in photo mode? So shouldn't everything just be compatible? Hopefully there'll be an update soon! Thanks!

According to this list - https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html - the R5C isn't yet supported by Lightroom.

Hi, received my new Lumix GH6 last week and as ADobe Lightroom can't read its RAW files (.rw2), my workflow is broken. Hundreds of people are in the process of getting theirs, posting here in hope you could prioritize its support. Thanks!

Based on past experience with LR's support for cameras from major manufacturers, LR 11.3 will probably support the GH6, and LR 11.3 will probably be released in early April.

Any ideas on why Lightroom isn't allowing me to view and edit the new Panasonic GH6 .RW2 raw files? Thank you!

According to this list - https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html - the GH6 isn't yet supported by any version of Lightroom. Looks like it was released just after the current version of LrC 11.2 was released, so if things take their normal course you might expect to see support added in 11.3 (whenever that is released).

To build on Jim's reply, LR releases a new version every 8 weeks. So we might expect to see LR 11.3 in early April.

I'm thinking about getting a Fuji XT4 Will Lightroom support this model.

Lightroom Classic 11.2 (the current version) does support the Fuji XT4. Please read this note aobut HDR RAF support.

Hi all, I just got my brand new Panasonic GH6 and I am super excited about it. I use it for work both for videos and photos. Used the GH5 until now for this. Unfortunately the RAW RW2 files from the GH6 won't open in the latest version of Lightroom Classic (11.2) or any other Adobe programm. That's really a problem for me because working with JPGs is not really an option for me.


Can you already tell me when the update for the GH6 will be available? I guess it comes with a "Camera Raw" upgrade? Or does anyone know how long this usually takes after the release of a camera?

 

For the moment I have to use the Silkypix Developer which can convert the files to 16bit TIFFs. But it's not very convenient, because it takes a lot of time and the files are huge.

 

Many thanks in advance! Jan

Cameras currently supported by Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop are listed at this link

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

 

Assuming availablity of said camera/lens, timing for support is typically within 2 to 3 months after the last version update. For reference, the last update to  Camera Raw, Lightroom Classic and Lightroom Desktop was 7 February 22.

Thank you for that info and the quick reply. Two to three months really seems like a long time to me. Honestly I am a little bit disappointed here. I hoped big brands like Panasonic and Adobe work this out together during beta phases of a camera so that the update is available at the launch of the camera. But of course, I am no expert at all. Maybe this is not possible technically.

 

So I guess I just have to wait and check for new updates regularly.

Is there already a planned date when to include support of the new OM-1 camera (by OM Systems, formerly Olympus) ?

Adobe rarely announces dates. But historically, support for a camera from a major manufacturer usually comes out in the next release of LR and ACR following the announcement of the camera, or in the release after that. The OM-1 was announced 2/15/22, a week after LR 11.2 was released, so we might expect to see support in LR 11.3. LR releases about every 8 weeks, so we might expect to see LR 11.3 the first week of April.

Is there currently any support in Lightroom or Photoshop for the Phase1 iXM-RS150 camera.

I am being forced to use Capture 1 22 and its painfull and very slow.

Have upgraded to the latest camera raw 14.1 but still cannot process the files.

Many Thanks

Matt

The ixM-RS150 is not on the list of cameras supported by Camera Raw or Lightroom. (Click on the link in the first post of this thread to see the full list.)

Support looks added, but does anyone else have issues with the camera profile names?  For example, under Camera Matching from the profile browser, see names like FL, IN, NT, PT.  I assume PT stands for Portrait?  This just me (or maybe unware of some setting)?

 

Attached is a screenshot of what seeing

"under Camera Matching from the profile browser, see names like FL, IN, NT, PT."

 

Those are the names of the Creative Looks in the Sony ILCE-1 and at least a few other Sonys:

LR/ACR names their camera-matching profiles using the same names as the camera manufacturers.

Any idea why not seeing Camera Standard, Camera Portrait, etc like I did with my Sony A7 III?  I received the new Sony A7 IV, but the camera profile does not seem to work like before. Not sure if doing something wrong or not.

For example, attached are screenshots of what I see with a picture from my Sony A7 III vs what seeing with the Sony A7 IV in LR.  Any idea why with the new Sony A7 IV not seeing these camera profiles?  

Is anyone else with a Sony A7 IV seeing the Camera Standard, Camera Portrait, etc in LR?
