Thanks!

Hi Anne-Trine

 

CR3 is not listed as a supported file type, but CR2, CRW and DNG are.

I don't know if this will help or not.

 

You didn't give us your camera model, but I saw that Photoshop (not Photoshop Express) just released an update that mostly includes support for newer camera models and lenses. They need to test these before adding them and usually add them in a group several times a year. Do you see your recent model in this list?

https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

 

I don't know if Express supports the same models that Photoshop does or not, but if you do see your model in the PS list, be sure to keep up with the updates for Express.

 

I am a volunteer and do not work for Adobe and am only hoping that Express updates their list of devices when Photoshop does.

Hi everyone,

 

Im having similar issues. Using a Sony ILCE 6700 and I'm unable to see the ARW files on Photoshop express ver 24.14.1. Using iPhone 13 updated to IOS 17.4.1. It's showing that it is a RAW file but no thumbnail. Photo attached

I bought my Canon D90 during the pandemic, and Adobe Potoshop Express is still not able to import my RAW files ... (CR3). Very disappointed about this. How many years of testing will it take?

Photoshop Express latest version (Windows) as of the date I post this  DOES NOT open RAF (Fuji) files, even if you claim it does. I installed the latest camera raw and still useless.

I am not interested in Photoshop, only Photoshop Express

 

Anybody knows how to open such a file? Thank you

Mircea

Hey @mircea_9915, Thanks for reaching out! Can you please share a screenshot or a screen recording of the workflow when uploading the RAF file? Do you get any error messages? Are you able to upload these files via the mobile app? 

Please share the details for us to look into this!

Hi Amitej
Here is what I get when I try to open a RAF file:

There is nothing wrong with the file, this happens with any RAF file. It works fine with Photoshop, but I want to work with Photoshop Express
 
Kind regards
