Sony Nex 6 ARW files

Hello,
I have been trying to open the above files in PS CS5 and get a message that ACR doesn't recognize the files.
I downloaded the applicable DNG converter for ACR version that I have and it still won't open the files.
Can you pls advise.

Your camera requires ACR v7.2 (Photoshop CS6)
You would need the DNG convertor.

Import Sony RAW .arw files not automatic

I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book. All my catalog from PSE6 imported without a hitch. That's over 12000 photos with about half of them Minolta (.mrw) and Sony RAW (.arw) files. Then I decided to import the shots I had just taken from a weekend photoshoot. I plugged in my CF into the card reader and started LR. When I clicked on the IMPORT button for my CF location all I got was the message "NO PHOTOS WERE FOUND TO IMPORT". I can import the files using the manual CHOOSE FILE option but I want it to work just like PSE with auto import. From what I understand that should be the case. After a Google search I found importing Sony RAW images (.arw) was an issue in LR1, but shouldn't Aobe have fixed it by now?? Just as an aside, if I'm having this issue with .arw files, when I import the RAW images from my Minolta 7Hi I wonder if I'll have the same issue.
Since its a trail version I'm not eligible for Adobe support, so there is no help coming from there.

This is a known bug! Import the files trough "Import Photos from disk", thats easy en works fine for me! <[email protected]> schreef in bericht news:[email protected].. >I decided to take the plunge yesterday I downloaded the trial LR2 (now 2.1) >and purchased Kelby's Lightroom 2 book.

Sony A77 ARW files in LR 5.2 do not show...

Hi there,
some time ago I was "suddenly"troubled that my Sony A77 Arw files dit not show up in Lr 3 no more. I recently upgraded to 5.2 but same problem...
On the same laptop they do show up in PSE 12 strangely enough.
Maybe I overlook something but any help/suggestion is welcome as I am truly stuck. Thanks!

Hi thanks for replying.
I am using the most recent version of LR on a dell lattitute W7.
I import the files and convert them directly into DNG.
When in the library it shows meta details like in the screenshot below. But the actual immage is not shown. This counts for the ARW files but also Jpeg or Tiff files. As said before the image is shown in PSelements-12 and also in Sony sw itself(PMB) I am afraid I overlook something simple but I cannot get my fingers behind it. Thanks for any help!

Can't view Sony RAW (.ARW) file in Adobe Bridge

Hi all,
Need some assistance here.
I'm currently using Photoshop CS3 and Adobe Bridge.
I've installed the Adobe Camera Raw update version 4.6.
With this, I'm able to do the relevant editing with the Sony Alfa raw files (.ARW) in Camera Raw.
But the funny thing is, when using adobe bridge I can't view the thumbnails as I view it in camera raw / photoshop.
The thumbnails is "blank". This only happens on .ARW files. I'm able to view jpeg files in thumbnail.
When I check the camera raw preferences in adobe bridge, it shows me it's 4.6.
I'm currently using Mac OS X (Leopard).
Do any of you faced this before?
Hope that any of you could shed a light on this matter.
Thank you in advance.

Have you figured out a workaround for this? Most of the forums regarding this issue
are windows related or full of arguments. I'm guessing there may not be a solution to this problem so I'm curious what approach you're taking.
Thanks!

Using Lightroom 4 w/ Windows 7. Recently started shooting w/ Sony camera .arw files. Lightroom cannot read the files. Loaded Adobe converter program onto the computer and this program cannot read the files either. Any suggestions?

Using Lightroom 4 w/ Windows 7. Recently started shooting w/ Sony camera that shoots .arw files. Lightroom cannot read the files. Loaded Adobe converter program onto the computer and this program cannot read the files either. Any suggestions?

Thnx again for the reply. The version of Lightroom I have is 4.0 (working w/Windows 7) This computer and all media files are kept off-line After doing more research, I downloaded DNG Converter 7.1This loaded into a .zip folder, which I am planning to install into the off-line computer andrun. Where does this folder go?
And will this set up work with my version of Lightroom?
What a pain. Makes me wanna go back to shooting .nef files for all stills
Thnx

Bridge CC won't display my Sony a99 .ARW files.

Hi All,
Up until recently, Bridge displayed my .ARW files no problem. However, now I only get a generic windows 8 icon. I have updated to the latest ACW as well as made sure CC and all apps are up to date. Still no dice. Some direction would be greatly appreciated. Id rather not pull unessicary files into Lightroom.
Thank you in advance!

I don't see that camera listed. If it is really new keep looking at beta 8.4 and see if it is listed.

Win XP, PS CS2, Camera Raw 3.7 = can't open Sony A300 ARW files

Hello,
As I wrote in the title, I have windows XP with SP3, Photoshop CS2 (9.0), Camera Raw 3.7 but I can't open my ARW files in Photoshop and I can't see them in Bridge. I installed Camera Raw properly as I saw in instructions. Then I cleaned cache in Bridge but it didn't help. Then I downloaded DNG converter + Camera raw and repeated procedure. Again, nothing. I can't convert ARW to DNG format. Any suggestion? Except to install CS4 (I have PS installed on my office PC and there's no way that I could get CS4). Thanks for any help .
Have a nice day!
R.

Thanks for your answer. When I wrote that I followed the instructions I realy meant that (I'm programmer in RL so it's not so strange to me )
I removed existing file from
Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats
and extracted new file into the same location.
After that I opened Adobe Bridge and purged central cache.
When I started Photoshop and took a look at plugins, I've noticed that I use camera raw 3.7, not 3.0 as it was before. So I was sure that I did it correctly.
But it didn't help.
Then I downloaded Adobe DNG Converter and Camera Raw 3.7 update from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=3588&fileID=3378 and did the same. Without any success. You write that I should use DNG converter 5.6. I didn't see that version on CS2 list, so I thought that it's not compatible.
Thanks again Jeff for your help.

Just bought a Sony A7. .ARW files not being accepted in LR 5.2.

I just bought a Sony A7, but when I tried to import the files into LR (v. 5.2) it says that the preview is not available on import. I was under the impression that with LR version 5.2 I would not need a .DNG converter, but now I'm not sure what I need to do to make it work. Suggestions? Thx!

Lightroom is not part of the Creative Cloud main software group because it wasn’t part of the Creative Suite series of products, before, but if you purchased the Photographer’s Bundle at $10/month, then LR is included in that, along with PS-CC, and you would get updates to LR, that way.
There are two different “flavors” of LR, though:
The standalone that is licensed by a serial number and that you can download new versions of via http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates and this version of LR will advise of a new version whenever you start it up, at least once a day, I think. But you can also always do Help / Updates to check for a new version.
Then there is the Cloud-licensed version of LR that you license and update using the CC app on your computer. Usually the CC App will notify you of new updates reasonably often.
If you were unaware of any updates, then something isn't right with your setup.

Photoshop Elements 12 Cannot Read Sony A7Mk2 ARW File

Hello,
My Photoshop Elements 12 (v12.1) program cannot read raw riles from a Sony A7Mk2 ILCE-7M2. I have updated to the latest Adobe Camera Raw Plug-In (8.5.0.236) which purportedly supports this camera's raw files but it does not.
The error received is "Could not complete you request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw."
I tried all the troubleshooting steps on Adobe's help pages including uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe software.
One possible reason for the problem: On the page listing supported cameras, Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras, the A7Mk2 appears to be listed as "Sony ILCE-A7M2" which appears to be a mistake as the correct model is "Sony ILCE-7M2" (i.e. no "A").
Very frustrating given that I bought Elements for this specific purpose!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Given the amount of pictures I take, converting to DNG isn't really an viable option.

I believe the said Sony A7Mk2 ILCE-7M2 (adobe calls it Sony ILCE-A7M2) needs at least camera raw 8.7.1, so you can either use the 8.8 adobe dng converter or upgrade to pse 13, which would open those files directly without the need of the dng converter.
(you would need to to use Help>Updates in the pse 13 editor to get the camera raw 8.7.1 plugin)

New Adobe update does not accept Sony NEX .MTS file format - help?!

I've seen some 'solutions' to this problem but none apply to me. I do not have older versions of Premiere to work with these files and then import into the new Adobe CC 2014. I also tried renaming the file folder with the video files but that does not work for me either - unless there is a step by step process someone can provide so I can see what I am doing wrong.
Main point is this should not happen in the first place - it has never been a problem with Adobe before.
.MTS is a very popular file format - many people use the fs100 and fs700, etc.
ADOBE PLEASE FIX!

We need more info please: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Another thing we need to know: how are you importing/ingesting the files?
Thanks,

LR 4.4, camera raw version 7.4 will not display Sony .ARW files

I have LR 4.4 on my Mac, camera raw 7.4 version. It can not display sony's ARW files (raw) from my Sony alpha 6000. Any solutions?L

Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.8
It's Lightroom 5.4, but Camera Raw 8.4 that's needed for the camera. You probably know this, but just to clarify, Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in. So it will require that you use a more current version of Lightroom or the DNG converter. At this point in time it's probably smarter to use the DNG converter if you want Lightroom 6 when it is released. It is anticipated that it will be relatively soon. But who knows what that means? It could be days, or weeks, or months. So I would suggest converting to DNG in the meantime until Lightroom 6 finally surfaces.

Sony NEX-5n Image Quality: Jaggies

Hi,
it occured to me that I see a pretty hefty amount of jagged edges in slanted lines with Sony NEX-5n .arw raw files. Not in all, but in several. Now, when I open or convert such raw files with the Sony Image Data Converter or with Apple Aperture, there are no jaggies.
In LR, even when setting sharpness from default 25% all the way down to 0%, a sort of jaggie pattern still can be observed, allthoug very very minor.
This leads me to the "hope" that the just introduced capability for Sony NEX-5n files in LR 3.5 was kind of rushed and in the next version a better demosaicing algorithm will be provided.
At least the way it is now the image quality for NEX-5n files not 100% there where it should be expected from LR.

Thank you for your response. Oh, I'm glad that for once it's "you have to view the images at 100%" and not "don't pixelpeep, it's the print that counts" ;-)
Why yes, of course, it's the 100% view where it's most visible and what I would only refer to when commenting on image quality issues regarding possible problems.
And while I certainly can't pinpoint it the fact that until now I only encountered this problem on some images in LR only and not when looking at or converting the very same raw file with another software as the above mentioned I'm pretty sure it's not the camera which delivered the artifacts in the first time.
I have 2 examples which I converted to Jpg and saved at 100%.
First a red deer. Look closely in the neck fur: can you see the jaggies? You can access the 100% view via the loupe or icon: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ihj4B27L6M5inWXt9yk5-w?feat=directlink
I have a comparison of a conversion between LR at default, LR at zero sharpening and the Sony Converter (which btw doesn't look that good to me, I prefer Aperture which I tested also and which also don't show Jaggies, regardless how high I set the sharpening into it). Also this image can and should be looked at 100% in Picasa: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/N58Xc0Ag7zBA_ymIvRDc2w?feat=directlink
The second example shows a cross bike. Look for the jaggies at the rear rim and seat stay area. Interestingly, those jaggies are clearly there but in the same time a little less pronounced then in LR itself.: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/5vpwZ1cZ8hpTVodn3siGxA?feat=directlink

Unfortunately, the NEX-6 requires camera raw 7.2 and the NEX-7 requires camera raw 6.6 neither of which are not compatible with Photoshop Elements 9.03.
You need to upgrade your Photoshop Elements to version 11 or later or you can use the free Adobe DNG converter.
The DNG converter is a standalone program which will take a folder containing your ARW files and converts them to DNG raw files. The DNG files can then be read by Photoshop Elements 9.03.

Support for RAW (ARW) from Sony NEX-7

I have iPhoto 9.2.3 (629.52) on my macBook Air running OS X 10.6.8. I successfully imported Raw photos from my Sony NEX-7 (ARW).
I have iPhoto 9.2.3 (629.52) on my iMac running OS X 10.6.8. When I try to import these same Sony Raw files, I get the message that the format is not supported (or whatever that message is).
I downloaded the RAW camera update 3.9 and installed it on my iMac. Still no go.
What gives? Any ideas? Suggestions?

Ah, wouldn't you know it. Found the answer right after I posted my question (I looked before . . . I swear I did).
I needed and have downloaded the RAW Camera Update 3.13 (I think the specific update I needed was in the RAW Camera update 3.10).
Thanks . . . um . . . to me
Cheers.

How to open a Sony NEX-5N .ARW in CS3?? camera-raw ext.4.6 is installed..

I cannot open a Sony NEX-5N .ARW file in CS3, and I have the latest camera extension installed. I really want to ope the RAW file, not convert it to Jpeg firt. Any Whiz having it figured out yet? Sony is not helpful at all and I suspect them to really wanting to force you tu use their much less powerfull software, which does not offer what I need (don't asl what I need please, not my question, sorry)
Cheers!

Latest CameraRaw (6.6) can not be installed in CS3 - it's incompatible.
And CameraRaw from CS3 does not understand your RAW files from new camera.
The solution would be to use free Adobe DNG Converter.
Download DNG Converter from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows (Windows) or here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Macintosh (Macintosh)
Then convert your proprietary ARW files (you may want to save backups) to DNG - DNG is a standart RAW format (open standard), and RAW data itself is saved untouched, just metadata is organized in a different way.
So you will keep RAW image data unmodified and will be able to edit it in any application that support DNG - there are a lot, including Photoshop.
After that you will be able to open and edit your images in CS3.
Another way is to update to CS5...

Plug-in for sony arw files

I have just installed elements 12 on my mac.does it recognise arw files from my sony nex-7 camera.if not is there a plug-in for elements12.

I don't understand that. The NEX-7 isn't a new camera, and the camera raw plug-in that came with PSE 12 should open those files with no problem. If you go to Help>system info in the editor, what does it show for the camera raw plugin?
EDIT If you double click a file from your camera, PSE should automatically open it in the raw converter. Is this not happening?
