The CR3 format of EOS R has not been supported. When will it be updated?

[JohanElzenga]

Adobe never comments about future releases, but it's pretty obvious that this format will be supported in an update.

The Canon EOS R was announced 9/5, after the release of LR 7.5 on 8/22. LR releases a new version every 8 weeks on average, so we can expect LR 7.6 around 10/17. About 77% of new Canon models are supported in the release following their announcement, so there's a pretty good chance the EOS R will be in 7.6.  But only Adobe knows for sure.

Re: Timing of Lightroom releases

[Dean Grossmith]

Just had this camera delivered today and I couldn't read the CR3 files in LR. I just can't believe that Canon and Adobe haven't sorted this out. The camera is useless to me and is going back into the box. Even debating as to whether to send it back to Canon. When will Adobe release an update for this?

This is normal and so with every new camera type. It takes time to implement the camera support by Adobe.

I think the camera isn't useless. You can use Canon's DPP to convert in DNG or TIFF in the meantime until Adobe supports the new camera.

Adobe doesn't say anything about future releases and the release date. But normally every 8 weeks there's a new update for Lightroom with bugfixes and support of new cameras and objectives. The last updates was released on end of August. I think the next updatre comes out mid or end of October.

Thanks for the prompt response, I will use Canon's DPP for the conversions in the meantime. Thank you!

Adobe has just announced the availability of a new version of DNG Converter, which supports the Canon R.

[kentdesign]

Its always the same - a new camera comes out and LR adds it relatively quickly. Usually the DNG converter is updated more quickly.

Ah the disadvantages of being the first one to get new gear! All the other parts we depend on have to catch up!

Canon's DPP is the answer temporarily!

[Dean Grossmith]

It's only the DNG converter that appears to provide support at the moment. Thanks for all the help here.
