Has a RAW converter for the Canon 7G MarkII been added yet?

Im trying to find out whether the Canon 7G Mark II has been added to the Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Raw Converter

>This is not how a customer service oriented company should operate.
Indeed Canon should work with third party raw conversion providers (Apple, Adobe, DxO, PhaseOne) to provide raw support from the day they release the camera by giving access to prerelease cameras or by using an open raw format. Canon (like Nikon) is not a customer-oriented company as they don't seem to understand that very few photographers use their dinky software and that the overwhelming majority prefer third party raw converters. Instead they expect Apple, Adobe, PhaseOne, etc. to go out to the store when a new hot camera comes out, buy a few copies and profile the new camera (quite a laborious process) and reverse engineer the raw file format and push out an update to their raw converter when it is added before their customers get raw support. These companies don't get these cameras any quicker than you or I do. To the contrary Canon or Nikon could have Apple, Adobe, etc. provide support for their cameras from day one by sharing some info, or by simply using an open raw format such as dng. Other camera makers do this and their cameras' raw files are usually supported right away.
The big two are not going to get this until they hear that we refuse to buy their cameras without third-party raw support. Some like Thom Hogan have actually already claimed that slow initial sales of many new Nikon and Canon cameras was caused by this. Apparently people are wisely waiting for third party raw converters to have support for new cameras before buying. I know I do this as Lightroom ACR, and Aperture are my main raw tools.

  • Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the  Canon Sureshot S95

    Have just bought the new Canon Sureshot S95
    after contacting Adobe support I am told Lightroom 3 does NOT support raw files for the
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Come on Adobe.....please provide an update asap.

    (1) Well Boss I did what you said and used Canon DPP to convert to TIFFs. Choices are 8-bit TIFF or 16-bit TIFF - I chose 16-bit because part (90% part) of the reason for wanting to work in RAW is to keep the bit depth of teh original. On my EOS 40D it is supposedly 14 bits, which gives great scope to play with the levels & curves without seeing poster effects. If I choose 16 bit TIFF then each S95 image becomes a 70MB file, parallel to my JPEG and RAW.  Hardly a satisfactory solution.
    (I realise, however, that I don't actually know the bit depth of the S95 RAW file - anybody? ). 
    (2) SUGGESTION-  even if you are adding S95 support to the next update (which I dearly hope), be kinder to those with new cameras in general and allow LR to import JPEGs if it cannot import the RAWs (overriding if necessary the 'ignore JPEG' preference setting).  I am sure users with that preference would still prefer a JPEG than no picture at all!
    Since I discovered this compatibility problem, I switched the camera to record RAW+JPEG*. To my great irritation LR3 ignores the JPEGs even though it cannot load the RAWs.  So if I want to import from one supported camera (EOS40D) and one unsupported camera (S95) I have to keep going into preferences to switch on and off the 'ignore JPEG' function.
    JJ
    *  (this seems to be a setting that needs doing in the various different modes of the camera, by the way).

  • Can I download a RAW converter for the 5D Mark lll ?

    Can

    The Adobe Camera Raw plug-in version 7.1, released at the end of May, supports the Canon 5D Mark III.
    There are download links for ACR 7.1 on the Adobe Downloads page:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ and the Downloads/Updates page: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
    The ACR 7.1 update only applies to Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop Elements 11 that was just released, today, and also available from the downloads page and elsewhere.
    If you are using an older version of those products then you will need to pay for an upgrade it to use the ACR 7.1 update.
    Alternatively, you may use the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw files into DNG files that will be supported by older versions of the ACR plug-in.

  • Will there be raw support for the Canon G10 before CS4?

    Not complaining, just asking. I'll upgrade to CS4 eventually, probably sooner if my G10 is not convered in CS3/ACR.
    Richard Southworth

    Some it is definately that Adobe wants to make you upgrade, they need the
    money like all businesses need the money. Anyone that thinks otherwise is
    deluding themselves. However, the other part of it too is that with each new
    version of Photoshop they add many new features to ACR, not just camera
    support but new features. To upgrade the old version of ACR the last one for
    CS3 for example they would need to maintain two seperate code bases and that
    is a lot of work, that is going to increase the possibility of bugs and
    other problems. It is far easier for Adobe to do it once and that is it.
    This is why Lightroom and ACR are by and large updated together and why they
    share the same code base, they only have invent the wheel once.
    Now I am sure there is little reason why Adobe couldn't just make 5.1 work
    with CS3. But, that goes back to the whole money thing. I guess you could
    say ACR is a privilage and not a right. You earn the privilage to use the
    lastest ACR by keeping your updates current.
    This time around however, I have to say that Adobe did something that I
    approve of very much and that is they release ACR 4.6 for CS3 AFTER CS4
    shipped adding support for newer cameras. I would like to see Adobe do this
    all of the time. That is do one final ACR update for the previous version of
    Photoshop after the new version has shipped. I see this as a sort of thank
    you.

  • RAW converter for Canon G 10

    Any idea when RAW converter for new Canon G 10 might be available for
    LR 2.1 (Also use CS3) on MAC OS X.
    Thanks... N. Borden

    >I converted G 10 raw images with DNG converter as you suggested and DNG files are now 64 mbs...original raw file was 15 mb.. what am I doing wrong? no jpeg preview checked off, I am not embedding raw file, checked off lossless in prefs.... (compressed). convert to linear.... how can i get smaller files?
    Those settings are all wrong. A normal dng is smaller than the CR2 but has equal quality. Just use the default settings. You should NOT uncheck lossless compression. Lossless compression is a compression method that does not lose any quality. You should NOT make a linear version as that demosaics the RAW data, which you do not want to do.
    >In any case, using DNG also adds another step in the work flow....will LR 2.1 have a built in raw converter for the g10 at some point....
    It's a tiny step and you end up with smaller files. Anyway LR 2.2, due any moment now, will support the G10 directly.

  • Will elements 13 raw converter work with Canon 7D MK2 raw files

    My friend is about to purchase the new Canon 7D Mk2 DSLR camera. He currently only takes images in jpg format and edits images with the Canon software provided with his current Canon camera. I have encouraged him to purchase Elements 13 and to start taking images in raw and using the raw converter. Will the raw converter in elements 13 be compatible with the raw files of the new Canon 7D MK2, please?
    The Canon 7D MK2 is a new model and I realise that Adobe may not yet have prepared a raw converter to work with images from this camera. However it may be that the raw converter for the new camera is the same as that used in  camera it replaces. Does anyone know please?
    Regards Dave S.

    The 7d mkii is not yet supported but should be in the next camera raw update. It’s not yet featured on the ACR8.7 list of new cameras, but this is only release candidate software. The 7d mkii could easily feature in the final version. Keep an eye on Adobe Labs for further updates.

  • TS2518 RAW-converter for Fuji X-T1 ?

    Wenn can we expect the right RAW-converter for the new Fuji X-T1 for Aperture?

    sorry, no. Fujifilm X-T1 is not yet on the list of supported cameras, see:
    Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Only Apple could tell you, if or when raw support for the camera will be released, and they do not announce this information in advance.  We are are only users here like yourself, so we cannot tell you.

  • Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to

    Would like to purchase PSE 12 to process Camera Raw files for the following cameras: Nikon D800, Nikon DF, Canon G9 and Pentax K-3 does the Raw Converter that comes with  PSE 12 when purchased recognize  the cameras listed in the question or do I need to download  the camera Raw Version 8.3 ?

    While the G9 RAW files can be read by Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom, these file are unsupported at this time. Here is a link to Adobe's latest list of cameras that are supported and this list came out yesterday http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    I have not done a comparison between Lightroom and Canon's software but others have and say that Canon's software is clearly better. I am sure when Adobe updates their software again to include the G9 it will be a very good RAW converter as it is will most other cameras.

  • Camera Raw for Elements 10 for the Canon EOS 7D MkII? Downloading

    Is there a "Camera Raw" for "Elements 10" for the "Canon EOS 7D MkII"?
    If so could I please have the link to where I can download it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The Canon 7D Mk II is currently not supported by any version of camera raw.
    It is expected that Camera raw 8.7 will include support and we are hoping that it will be released soon.
    PSE 12 has ceased to be updated - you will either need to update to PSE 13 or use the DNG 8.7 converter (when it becomes available) to convert the CR2 files to DNG files - PSE 12 will then beable to use the DNG files.

  • Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new  Canon Sureshot S95

    Camera RAW does NOT yet support raw files for the new
    Canon Sureshot S95.
    Adobe, please can you provide an update asap

    Hello!
    I think that you need to be patient.
    There has not been any release of Camera Raw since the release of the camera.
    I recommend to try the next version once it will be released, as there might be preliminary support (and therefore not listed).
    Usually, Adobe is amongs the firsts to support a new camera.
    Even though the Camera Raw team is fielded with wonderful coders, I do not think that they do have a time machine to allow support before they have their hands on a camera

    When will a plugin be available for the canon g1x RAW files?

    Seems the DNG converter doesn't support that camera yet. Iridient Digital does but you may want to wait on Adobe. If not Iridient Devloper (Mac only) is an excellent raw converter.

  • I have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.
