Of course, you realize that this is a user forum.  None of us know any more about release dates than you do.  Since the camera is supported in the 6.7 RC, I suspect it will be available in the 6.7 final release.  Quite often release candidates are only available for Photoshop, but the final release is normally available for Photoshop Elements as well.

The final release may not solve your exposure problem.  You might have to use a different metering mode or use exposure compensation or change your camera defaults to compensate for your shooting style.

Adobe also has a CS6 suite to work on and test so they’re not merely working on putting cameras into ACR 6.7 or ACR 7 for use with PSE10.

ARC 7 will not open Canon 5DMkIII CR2/RAW files, but ARC 6.7 will, so I even though I have pre-ordered CS6E, I will have to keep CS5E on my computer to process 5DIII raw files, and to user certain 3rd party photo editing programs. Annoying, but not the end of the world.

I will say this, though: Although they are under no obligation to us consumers (we only buy their products, right? So no obligation there) IMO, since Adobe put out ACR 6.7 that will open 5DIII and G1X files so quickly, it does appear they are dragging their heels about ACR 7. If a beta has camera support for the 5DmkIII, and G1X, 7 should have been released with the same capabilities.

Has anyone had any issues with the quality of the Canon 5d Mk III cr2 image opened in CS5 with ACR 6.7 or CS6 with ACR 7.1. My images are coming in desaturated (shows -55) on scale, is dark and has vignetting. The jpegs look great. Any thoughts?*

I have tried 7 and we are beta testers for cs6 and got the acr upgrade. 6.7 does the same in cs5.

Appreciate your insight. The question then becomes, would it only change

the preferences for the Mark IIIs. The software works fine for our Mark

IIs. If changing the preferences / profiles in Camera Raw is a global

change, then it would cause problems for the IIs. The thing that we can get

past is the jpegs all look great. We can bring the CR2 files into Canons

Digital Photo Professional (included with the IIIs) and it looks great

also. That is why we think the problem is actually in the profile for the

IIIs that Adobe is using...Appreciate any insight and/or information...Have

a GREAT day...

This is what the embedded JPEG looks like for me next to the Camera Raw defaults.

I take it you're seeing much more difference than this.

The images get even more similar if I switch Camera Raw to use the "Camera Standard" profile.

The question then becomes, would it only change the preferences for the Mark IIIs.

That's almost certain, yes.

I have read through the Mark III manual, and have not found anything. I

come back to 2 things, first, this happens on 3 different PCs and second

the Canon software Digital Photo Professional brings the CR2s in just fine,

then they can be exported directly to Photoshop from the Canon software,

and they look great...

I don't want to make changes just to make changes...I do appreciate all of

the insight and information...

Yes. I have tried to contact canon to no avail. Any help would be great. Thank you

No xmp file. These files have never been edited and they are copied from the ad or cf card. No network. I went thru settings on my camera, there was nothing unique or different from my mark ii. Also looked at settings in acr and nothing stood out. I really appreciate all your efforts.

Your camera settings won't affect how Camera Raw opens the file, save for perhaps the white balance.

If you want to put a copy of one of your raw files online somewhere, I'll be happy to download it and see if I can reproduce the problem you're seeing.

Please upload one of the suspect files to a www.dropbox.com or www.yousendit.com account, send the download link to your own e-mail, and then post the download link, here.

I've tried opening a Canon 5D MkIII raw in Adobe Elements 10. I just get the error message that it's an unknown format.  And yes, I have the latest version of ACR fo PSE10, v 6.6

It was the reset. I reset the settings in acr and both 6.7 and the 7 began working

Did you upgrade to ACR 6.7. That is yhe version that recognizes the

MKIII...Also Canon has Digital Photo Professional that comes on a disc with

your camera that will let you open the CR2 and edit files much like ACR.

I looked, there is no ACR update other than 6.6 for PSE10

Perhaps you looked in the wrong place, AnysiaC.  The Adobe updater doesn't always catch every available update right away...

My Elements 10 and CS5 updated to ACR 6.7 automatically, Wednesday morning; however, ACR 6.7 is not a distinct link on www.adobe.com/downloads/updates yet.  You have to use the dropdown list at the top and select Camera RAW for your platform, then look for the PSE-specific link on that page.

I did, so I didn’t do it, again.   Since Anysia hadn’t figured out where to look for the links, that Adobe usually provides on the main Updates page, I gave instructions how to do that.  Teaching someone to fish, rather than giving someone a fish.

Seeing as my reply was prior to #33, no.   And Mr. Wisenheimer just wants to feel superiour (I scrolled all the way through the thread, and the only links provided were the ones your provided in #33, so I don't know where he gets off with being snide) , whereas you actually assist. Thank you.
