LR denoise AI not reading my A7R5 RAW file

[Chris Q2]

So, if the new LR update with the AI denoise is supposed to read RAW files, why wont mine read files from my Sony A7R5? It tells me it is not currently compatible with this file and I need to manually denoise the image.... all apps are updated....

I dunno why Adobe would not get these supported

They may support these formats in the future. For now, any type of compressed file is not supported.

Actually, it's not the compression. Compressed files work.

It's the smaller downsampled files; M and S. That doesn't work, and I suspect it has to do with demosaicing. Downsampling obviously disrupts the Bayer pattern.

I don't know if these files are demosaiced in camera, or if there is a special demosaicing "formula" that Adobe doesn't have access to. But for now, Denoise only works with standard Bayer encoding.
