Camera RAW Support for Canon 7D Mark II

Hi,
I've just purchased the Canon 7D Mark II, connected it to my PC, but then found that Adobe Camera RAW doesn't support it yet. Any updates when this camera might be possibly supported? 

Would it really do any good for Adobe to communicate an official release date? If they didn't meet that date then you would just call Adobe a liar. Adobe has users from several different companies waiting for support. And whether you believe it or not, there is no providing of specs from camera makers. They don't care whether Adobe Camera Raw supports the camera. Adobe is just another company to them. Adobe has to purchase each camera and then create the profiles for it. The real solution? Camera makers, agree on a common file format. If you won't do that, then YOU take the blame for this delay that happens about four times every year.
Actually, it would help, Jim. It does not have to be exact... it would help to know "this quarter" or "by the end of the year" or "mid-December". It would help because I could decide whether to find a workaround patch, or switch to a different system.
The camera makers are more than willing to provide that info, but according to a contact at Canon USA, in 2008 Adobe changed the game and decided to be more proprietary with their compatibility, presumably so that people would be required to upgrade their software every year just to be able to use new camera technology. It was Adobe's decision, and they could easily decide to play nice. But it is an unfair characterization to say that the camera makers don't care if Adobe supports their camera. That is just a silly assertion.
It comes down to he said - she said, and the two companies are simply pointing fingers at each other. Neither you nor I know the absolute truth about who is right... I only know that I am dissatisfied with Adobe's lack of communication, and slow response when compared to other companies, larger and smaller.

  • Lost camera raw support for canon 1ds markI in mountain lion

    I seem to have lost system support for camera raw files for the original Canon 1ds (what you might call the markI). There's been two recent raw support updates, and I'm not sure if it occured with the first for those two updates or with update to Mountain Lion itself (which I recently clean-installed). I noticed it after the first raw support update (Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01) but it could have happend with Mountain Lion install and I just didn't notice. In any case, I definitely don't have support for the camera raw files, finder shows only the generic TIFF icon thumnail (the raw files from the markI 1ds were of the extension .TIF, before canon moved on to .cr2 format..). Preview and Aperture can preview the file but without any custom white balance or other info stored with the raw file from camera.
    Anybody else experience this or know fix?
    Thanks!
    For anyone wanting and willing to test on their machine, I'll post a link to a test raw file.... hmm, apparently this support forum does not allow for the linclusion of a link to an image file, but I'll see if it allows for a link to a zipped folder with image inside... I suppose I wouldn't download a .zip file myself but for anyone braver than I:

    Lane,
    That latest raw update also shows supported devices. The EOS-1Ds is still shown as supported by Mountain Lion in the knowledge base article that accompanies it. Bump!
    I wonder if using Disk Utility and verify/fix permissions may restore your RAW capability.
    Don't have Aperture or Lightroom.
    I installed the recent raw updates into 10.8.2. The DB5W2360.TIF file has a generic Preview icon. Graphic Converter 8.3.1 opens .cr2 files, and it opened this TIF file nicely as well. GC is willing to modify white balance with a condition that it cannot be done in place, and must be exported to a different format.
    Not much help, I know.

  • Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

    Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store.  This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
    I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII.  This will be a VERY popular camera.
    More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software".  When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII.  I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
    So after my little rant.
    Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
    Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester.  I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing.  I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
    Kind Regards
    Tom Croll

    Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product.  Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
    I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released.  I have been in the software development game for 35 years
    But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc.  As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into.  I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models.  I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
    Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
    To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable.  Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
    In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files.  But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
    There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support.  Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models.   Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
    I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe.  In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management.  I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.
    Kind Regards

  • Camera Raw update for Canon 5D Mark III

    Where is the camera raw update for the new Canon 5D Mark III?

    It doesn't appear that it is available yet.  You will want to utilize Canon's software for now.  I would recommend continuing to review http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html as it has a list of all supported and soon to be supported cameras with Camera RAW.

  • Camera RAW Support for Canon EOS 50D

    I'm trying to read RAW files from the new Canon EOS 50D in Photoshop. I have Camera RAW v4.5 which is stated to work with the previous 40D, but doesn't seem to work with the 50D...
    Has anyone managed to read RAW files from an EOS 50D using Photoshop?
    I'm on a Windows PC using Photoshop CS3 version 10.0 with the Camera RAW 4.5.0.175 plug in. I've also tried the DNG converter downloaded with that version of Camera RAW (same ver no.) to no avail.
    Help gratefully received!

    >Win: \Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-ins\CS3\File Formats\
    is not present (or any near equivalent) on my PC.
    If you don't have that exact location then the odds are that your Photoshop/Bridge CS3 install is wrong. The location listed is the correct location for XP and Vista 32 bit. If you have Vista 64, then there is a different location. But, if you have XP or Vista 32 and you don't have that exact location already, then you really need to check the CS3 install.
    > put the CameraRaw.8bi file into Programs/Adobe/CS3/Plug-ins/File Formats/.
    And that's the WRONG place to put it...that location will ONLY allow Photoshop to access it, not Bridge. The Camera Raw plug-in MUST be installed in the CORRECT location for both Photoshop and Bridge.

  • Camera raw support for Canon D70.

    can i get a free upgrade on Adobe camera raw to support the new Canon D70?  If so, how can i do that? Thanks!

    The 70D was first supported in ACR8.2 which is compatible with CS6 and CC and Elements 12.

  • Is there Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii?

    I need Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii.  Is there a Camera RAW version for me? 

    Thanks for your help.  I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more
    about it.  I downloaded the DNG converter and transferred in files from my
    camera.  Then I imported into Lightroom.  It works!   Thanks again.

    Which operating system are you using?
    Have you tried Help>Updates from within photoshop cs6 to get either camera raw 8.3 or 8.7.1, which should enable photoshop cs6 to open the canon 5D Mark III files.
    (version of camera raw depends on your operating system)
    If that doesn't work try one of the following camera raw plugin installers:
    Camera raw 8.7.1 plugin
    https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/camera-raw-plug-in-installer.html
    If you have windows xp or vista or mac os x snow leopard (10.6.8), then you'll have to use the camera raw 8.3 plugin installer:

  • Need raw update for canon 7d mark II

    where can I download camera raw support for the canon 7d mark II?

    See that post from today:
    Can Camera Raw 8.6 as part of Elements 13 support Canon 7 D Mark Two?
    You'll have to wait for that.
    In the meantime, use the DPP software provided with your Camera by Canon.
    I suspect it won't be long before a new ACR version is available for PSE13 or a new Adobe DNGconverter is issued if you have older Elements versions.

    please direct me to the Photoshop CS6 camera raw plugin for Canon G15 digital camera
    Thank you

    Hi, rich_fred.
    As the Canon G15 is a very new model, support is not yet available through Camera Raw. In the meantime, try out the software that came with you camera, to see if it can export a TIF or JPEG, which should open up in Photoshop just fine.
    Hopefully support for the G15 will be available in the next Camera Raw update. You can find a list of supported cameras here: http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/extend.html

  • Camera Raw support for new Nikon D810

    Hi, could you please advise when we can expect to see camera raw support for the new nikon D810.
    Thanks

    Adriana – I installed the download from the link in the 7/27 post and was able to convert my NEF files to DNG format from my new D810 camera, but could not view/edit the NEF-smalls. When I saw your latest post I used your link to go to that download and noticed that in the description it mentioned that the issues with the D810 NEF-small have been resolved.  I deleted/emptied trash of the 7/27 download and re-installed the one mentioned from your link – although they were both identical in file size and version: 8.6 – hmm?  I tried the converter – but nothing new was converted (I presume because all had already been converted before?).  However, CS6 is still not able to open/edit neither the NEF-small file formats, nor the DNG created from it.  I am thinking maybe I am missing a step, because when I select properties for Camera Raw in CS6, the version is 8.5.0.236 – is that ok (my CS6 version is 13.0.6 – and no other updates appear available)? I only downloaded the DNGConverter_8_6.dmg; installed the .pkg – did I forget a step? Thanks for your help!

    OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats seems to indicate that you are correct.
    Are you are trying to provide  Apple - Aperture - Feedback or Apple - iPhoto - Feedback?
    If so, use you can send direct feedback via the above link(s).  You will not likely get a direct response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people  will see your input for consideration in future product development.
    If you seek a solution rather than to offer feedback, or until Apple supports your needs within the Mac OS, check whether Mamiya's Leaf RAW converter 1.2.6 for Mac meets your needs.

  • Camera Raw Support for G12 & S95

    The current Camera Raw 6.2 release does not support the Canon G12 or Canon S95. Adobe please add raw support for these two great new cameras.

    This is TRUE!!  I have recently purchased a G12 and was informed that nothing changed but the addition of the new HD Video - quote, "that is the only difference between the two cameras," end quote.
    Obviously the camera stores have been misled as I see that several of us have found out that the Camera Raw 6.2 version released is only good for the G11.
    I have already spoken with Technical Support, left messages as well as sent an e-mail to "What's Missing" pull down menu.
    Needless to say, if I hear back that an update is not forthcoming soon, I will have to return my camera!
    It still amazes me that companies do not talk to each other nor release all updates appropriately.
