When will Lr 5 support the new Canon 7D Mark II?

Just got the Canon 7D Mark II today!!! So far I am very impressed with it but I shot everything in RAW. I guess will have to use the Canon software to convert the files. I don't like that software so I'm hoping that Adobe has an update soon!

    Native Lightroom support for the D750 was added in the Lightroom 5.7 update released this evening.

    I use Irfanview to view my Raw files and If I want to do a Tiff of one I want to work on I export it

    Also there is a batch processor  so you can just batch them all out as tiff and import to LR.

    If you want thumbnails it will show all you images as thumbnails so you can quickly look at the images.

    Irfanview is a free program

    www.irfanview.com    get the plugins

    Is irfanview just extracting preview, or does it have a raw converter too?

    IrfanView can extract previews, but it also has a CRW plug-in that will use whatever Canon DLLs are installed on the system, if any, to do actual Canon raw conversion. You have to install a Zoom Browser or other Canon product that will put new enough DLLs on the system for the particular camera, and of course if someone has the install disks for their camera they probably also have Canon’s own DPP software, so then it is just a preference of whether to use Canon software or other software using Canon DLLs.

    Whether the poster has new enough DLLs or is seeing camera-embedded previews remains a question.

    With the D750, I've been shooting RAW and using Nikon's View NX2 app to burn jpg after a quick exposure / white balance check and importing that into Lightroom.

    I've been making adjustments as I normally do in LR, but I was wondering if anyone has determined the best way to import the RAW's and replace those JPG source files once LR gets support for the 750 raw format. I'd like to keep adjustments, stars/color codes, etc and just map them onto matching filenames (short the different .jpg .nef extension)

    Anyone done this before?

    RawPlusJpeg (a free plugin I wrote) has features to automate/streamline that stuff..

    For the moment i use the follow solution :

    Import RAW in Canon Digital Photo Proffessional  or another convertor , Export in batch and convert your RAW's in TIFF  . Open Lightroom and Import the TIFF's as " Apply " ( not convert as DNG )  . You can edit your pictures in Lightroom !

    Kind regards ,

    You'll know when it happens, not before - Adobe never officially pre-announces support - but Raw Therapee does a very good job of converting 7D Mk II files, even though it's not officially supported there yet.

    You could use the free Adobe DNG Converter 8.7RC to convert your raws to DNG, which you can then import to your current LR version.

    Hi Jim,

    Camera RAW 8.7 RC doesn't support the EOS 7D Mark II yet ...

    There may be more info at: http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/why_doesnt_my_version_of_photoshop_or_lightroom_support_my_camera-17cz5b

    Jeffrey Tranberry (Chief Customer Advocate) stated yesterday - "It's on our radar. Hoping it makes it into our next update."
    So I guess for the time being EOS 7D Mk II users should either use DPP to convert to TIFF and import to Lightroom or shoot RAW+jpg and wait for the RAW support.

    Oops....yes of course. Brain still in D750 mode I guess!

    Thanks for the catch.....
