Canon Rr and CR3 File problems

I've recently purchase a Canon R5. Raw files obviously are CR3. I run a MacBook Pro with Mac OS 14.2.1 and Light room Classic version 13.1.......Light room shows a preview for the CR3 on the import window but will not allow me to tick the box to import.........

I've read old posts where this 'was' a problem but it seems that it is still a problem for me.

If I use Adobe RNG converter to switch these CR3 files then Lightroom accepts the file as normal....

appreciate any ideas....

Thanks

John

This indicates that the photo is already in your Lightroom Classic catalog, and should not be imported again. What you really want to do in this case is find the photo in the LrC catalog, and use it from there.


Isn't it odd then that if I convert the file using the DNG converter it allows me to click and import. Or is that because the file suffix has changed??

Is the preview greyed out?
