"My latest" version can't do it, only CR2

Your "latest version" 10.5 is not the latest!

The other question is- Does your Operating system  support the 'Latest' Converter app?

 

Another mistake I have made is to - Select individual files to Convert. This does not work. You must select a Folder of files. The converter only works with Folders of image files.

 

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

Thanks for the hint! I thought I would get become notifications about a new version e.g. via Adobe Creative Cloud.

 

But I can convert individual files. I always use the "send to" context menu after I have selected CRx files:

 

This works also for folders!

It's the Canon Ra.  Many thanks for the list.  It seems the Adobe DNG converter  will convert .CR3 files into .DNG format.  I need to bring those files into an astronomical imaging processing program as .dng because it won't recognize .cr3.  When I am done processing in that program, I save the result as a TIFF file for further processing in Photoshop.
