Lightroom won't read SONY RAW files

I've upgraded to 1.2, installed it once and then again to see if I could repair the problem. I am shooting a SONY A700 and Lightroom won't recognize my RAW files on the card or when I copy them to my hard drive. LR does see jpegs on the card when I shoot them, and yes I have checked the box that says to treat RAW and jpegs as separate files.
If I put only jpegs on the card it reads them, if I only put RAW files on it says no images on card.
Any suggestions?

To be honest I have not tried looking at my older MRW files as I have not used my 7D in awhile. I will look tonight to see if I can read them in LR, but I'm not qualified to speak on whether the information LR is reading is correct or detailed enough. I'll just see if I can edit them to my satisfaction. I don't get into the mechanics other than to do what I need to improve my photos.
My original problem was getting the Adobe downloader to bring in ARW files, but now I just pull them off the disk and have disabled the downloader, which works fine for ARW.
Just read the previous question and see it was answered on MRW files. I have been editing ARW raw in lightroom and it seems to work with all functionality. I think the program is indispensible to my A700 and they work wonderfully together.

Reads Sony Raw files?

Does Aperture 3 read and convert Sony raw files: arw2.3 format. The format produced by the RX 100 (II)? Or must I use Adobe software for the conversion?
Thanks.

See the list of supported cameras: Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
The RX 100 Mark 2 is not yet supported, sorry. You will have to wait for the raw support to be released.
You could try dng converter, while you are waiting, use the camera provided software, or shoot raw+jpeg and use the jpegs as original files, until the raw support will be released. You can add the raw originals later.

Lightroom will not read sony ARW files

I understood the latest version of Lightroom supported the recent Sony A7 series, whose RAW files are Sony's own ARW files. I have the latest Lightroom but it will not read these files.

Here is a list of the Sony A7 series cameras that Lightroom supports, and the version of Lightroom required. The Lightroom versions are in the highlighted area.
If you are certain you have the appropriate version of Lightroom installed, then provide more information. Can your operating system browser see the raw files? Have they been downloaded to your hard drive? What operating system are you using? What is the exact version of Lightroom?

Lightroom won't open my RAW files in Photoshop

I've had this problem for a few months now, but I thought I'd test the waters and see if there's anyone out there who can help me now. Here is a video of what happens when I try to open ANY raw file from ANY camera type in Lightroom to edit in Photoshop. This happens if I go through the menus or if I control+e to open them.
Photoshop CC Opening RAW Problem - vidme
I have uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. I have reinstalled PS first and LR second like some have suggested. I've gone as far as reformatting my ENTIRE computer TWICE with two different OS versions and installing LR+PS on those versions, still no luck. My workaround has been editing the RAW files in LR, saving the metadata, then navigating to the folder in finder and opening the RAW files directly into PS. That works, but is horribly inefficient.
Anyone have any ideas? I am on the latest versions of LR and PS with my CC subscription.

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Pls help. My Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom won't read the NEF files from D610.

I recently upgraded to Nikon D610 and the NEF files were not readable from my old version of Camera Raw, CS6 and Lightroom. So downloaded the recommended upgrades and I now have Camera Raw 8.4.0.199; Lightroom 5.3; CS6 13.01. But still did not read my D610 NEF's. Please help. Thanks.

oh wait, i got it. Just in case for those who will have the same scenario. I downloaded the NEF files from my D610 using the old ViewNX 2.1 software and that was the cause of incompatibility. So i upgraded my ViewNX to 2.9 and downloaded my images again. And it worked this time.

E11 won't read my raw files, on my canon 600d ??

please help

You need the latest version of the Camera Raw plug-in, version 7.4. You should use Help / Updates in the Editor to do the update.
If this doesn’t work, then give more information about what happens when you try, including error messages and unexpected program behavior, and what version of the Camera Raw plug-in you do have which you can see by going into the Editor and doing Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw

I just bought the canon 5d mark iii and my photoshop elements 10 wont read my raw files. I want to buy photoshop elements 13...is this compatible with my new camera?

I just bought the canon 5d mark iii and my photoshop elements 10 won't read my raw files. I want to buy photoshop elements 13 but want to make sure my camera is compatible with it first. Thank you for your help!

Photoshop elements 10 should be able to open those files if you update to camera raw 6.7
Which operating system are you using?
windows
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Windows : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
mac
Adobe - Photoshop Elements : For Macintosh : Camera Raw 6.7 update for Elements 10
Also, photoshop elements 13 will open those files as well.

Sony RAW file conversion for Lightroom 5

I've been using Lightroom 5 (LR5) for my photo editing on a PC for a year now & been shooting with Nikon, just recently purchased a Sony A7II & LR5 will not read the RAW files, when I try it says: "The files are not recognized by the raw format in Lightroom 5", Please check for updated version of Lightroom, so I checked & I do have the current version, no updates available. I was previously told it would read it & there shouldn't be a problem, well it won't. From what I've read looks like I need to convert these RAW files to DNG through a plug-in. When I went to 'Adobe Support & Community Help' I found what I was looking (I think) a plug-in for LR5, however when you open the link at the top its says: 'Camera Raw plug-in for CS6, CC, or CC 2014 Adobe applications' doesn't mention anything about LR5, but it did on the previous search page so I'm a little confused. Attached is the link: Camera Raw plug-in installer
Is this it for LR5, 'CameraRaw_8_7_1.zip' ? And if so why doesn't it say for LR5, anyone know? I don't want to download something and have it screw up my LR5 program. Any help here would be greatly appreciated....jp

I have Lightroom 5.7. When I check for updates I show its up to date, I don't understand, whenever there are updates its always advised me, I started with Lightroom 5. Was that link to 5.7.1 on my post correct for this update? Like I said it didn't say for Lightroom 5 just Photo Shop CS6,CC, or CC 2014, so I was a bit confused, wouldn't be an issue if Lightroom 5 was included in the text.

Elements 10 can not read the raw-files from my Sony a-57

The raw-converter is updatet to 6.7 and according to Adobe it should be able to read Sony a-57. When I got Elements 10, a file had to be moved so it could read the raw-files from my Minolta 5D. Can this be the cause of the problem ? What to do ?

What version of ACR does Help / About Plug-ins… / Camera Raw… show you, and is more than one Camera Raw listed in About Plug-ins…?

I can't figure out how to update camera raw. Elements won't read my ARW. files.

Help? haha Elements won't read my ARW. files. It says to update camera raw but I don't know how.

What camera model do you have? What version of Elements are you using (Help / About Photoshop Elements) and what version of Camera Raw are you using in Elements, now (Help / About Plug-in / Camera Raw)?
These questions are relevant because each camera model must be supported individually and Adobe only adds support to currently available products.

Sony raw files will not open in PE5. Help!

I have a Sony alpha 350 DSLR. When I shoot raw files (.ARW), Photoshop Elelements will not open them. I get a message that says it's the wrong kind of file. The Adobe plug-in that came with the camera's software does not work. I downloaded the most recent Camera Raw plug-in for PE5 from Adobe (4.5), and it does not work. Adobe customer support told me they no longer service PE5, and sent me to this forum.
How can I get PE5 to open Sony raw files?

Thanks for the quick response. In Photoshop Elements 5.0, when I click on
the raw file stored on my hard drive, a small message box comes up with a
white X in a red circle and the message "Cannot open
because it is the wrong type of file."
I am not sure if I installed the plug-in correctly. There were no
directions except how to unzip it and save it to my hard drive. The icon
shows a blue electrical plug and reads " Camera Raw .8bi, 8BI File, 10,634
KB" When I click on it, it opens Photoshop Elements, but it still gives me
the error message when I try to open a raw file.

Apperture doesn't read the RAW files from my new Camera

Hi, Apperture doesn't read the RAW files downloaded from my new Camera Fujifilm X-S1. What options do I have to work with .RAF (Fujifilm RAW)?
I was thinking about using RAW Converter PRO but it cannot upload the full information contained into the RAF file. Maybe there is another Program I can use until Aperture includes my camera in its DB.
Greats!

I've been a loyal Apple user for 20 years and have been using Aperture for the last 2 years. The X-pro came out a YEAR ago and still no x-trans sensor support and yet Lightroom by Adobe and Capture One now has RAW support.I've had to switch to the Lightroom trial as I have a busy studio in hope that Apple might bother with me but again no reply to my emails.
If I have to purchase Lightroom I will probably not come back to Aperture which is a shame
Apple seem to have got too big for good customer service these days unless it's an iPhone or iPad

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?

Why does not Lightroom allow me to import RAW files from my Canon 5D Mark III?
Error message that it does not support cr. file

Which version of Lightroom?
As Hal points out, if it's pre v 4.1, you can't expect an old version of the software to know what to do with a camera that didn't even exist when the software was released.
Given how many times a day this same issue comes up, maybe it's time Adobe changed the error message to something like "your camera is too old to be supported by this version of Lightroom. Please upgrade" or similar...

How to import RAF format raw photos taken by Fujifilm X-T1 to Lightroom 4.4? RAF raw files cannot be recognised by Lightroom 4.4

Fujifilm X-T1 is on the list of cameras with RAW file format supported by Lightroom, but I fail to import the RAF raw format photos taken by Fujifilm X-T1 to Lightroom 4.4 with the error message "Lightroom can't process the RAW files". Is there a way to fix it?

Fujifilm X-T1 is on the list of cameras with RAW file format supported by Lightroom,
It is but Raw support varies depending on the version of Lightroom. Newer versions have more Camera Raw support than older versions.
The column on the right hand side says "Minimum Lightroom version required" for the Fuji X-T1 is 5.4.
Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
Raw support is never added to older versions of LR retrospectively so Lightroom 4.4 will never be able to read X-T1 Raw files.
Your choices:
Pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all X-T1 Raw files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4.4
