Can Sony's ARW (their version of RAW) be processed using Denoise? If not now, when??

I would assume (hopefully) that .ARW is included with all the Sony A7 cameras out here.
Maybe I am doing something wrong but it works when I use an older .RAW file. The error I get is

Any update on this?

I am currently can't apply it on A1 and 7RV files.

Any suggestions?

Ah - here's the explanation. I made a test file with compressed M on an a7r V:

The file is demosaiced in-camera. Denoise doesn't work on demosaiced data.

So what you're waiting for is Denoise to work on demosaiced files. That's officially on the roadmap, but will probably take a while.

We need to be careful not to raise expectations.

Eric Chan wrote the following when 'Denoise' was first released.

"Denoise is our third Enhance feature. We’re proud of what it can do today, but we’re already looking ahead to make it even better. For instance, we have some ideas on how to use additional training data to improve resolution. We’d like to support additional file formats and combine Denoise with Super Resolution. We’re even looking into ways to speed up the workflow by not needing to make a new DNG file. It’s a very exciting time, and you can expect us to continue making big strides forward in AI-powered'

Note the absence of the phrase 'Road Map', and Eric only writes 'We’d like to support additional file formats...'

That's right, I've tried the different .arw varieties from a7r v.

Uncompressed works.

Compressed L, full resolution, works.

Compressed M and S, reduced resolution, don't work.

Denoise doesn't currently support Sony's 'S' or 'M' raw fomats. Are your files in either of these formats?

I can run Denoise on my Sony RX100M3 files. So there must be some other issue. Maybe if you had a way with sharing a link to one of your raw files we can help you narrow down the cause.
