Sony RX100 and Lightroom 4.3

Hi, I recently bought a sony rx100 and have downloaded lightroom 4.3 trial version so that I can work with the raw images.  When I try to read the files off the sd card, lightroom doesn't see them.  I've had to use the sony raw converter so that lightroom can recognise them.  Is this the way to go?  Am I doing something wrong?
I'd appreciate any assistance.

I've uninstalled LR 4.3 and installed trial version of LR 4.2 and the same problem. 
Why did you do that?
I cannot vouchsafe how the Sony RX100 has worked with LR4.2, since I own mine only since 4.3
Works like a charm, like for c Frans w.
Why did you mention .ORF as raw file type in your post #2? The Sony RX100 has .ARW as raw file type. Did the Sony converter display .ARW as .ORF?
For pragmatic reasons I would suggest that you install 4.3 (BTW there is no trial version: the download is always the full package. It will just stop running after 30 days unless a valid serial no. will be entered.), enter your serial number and use it with your camera.

Any suggestions?
Pulling my hair out.
Thank you.
You are perhaps talking of the lens profiles. Here my experience differs from c Frans w:
Default does not auto-recognize, I have to enter the Make as "Sony", but then I get a recognition for "Sony E16-50mm F3.5-5.6 OSS".
Lens profiles are something different from supporting a camera and its raw file type (= LR being able to read .ARW).
Adobe may add further lens profiles, or some other people might create, actually using this camera.
I do not always need to apply a lens profile, since I consider the barrel distortion without one not too bad as long as it is not an architectural shot.

    I have version 4.4.1 on my computer now, which is functioning properly - but does not read the .ARW files. When I download the link you sent and try to open it, it pops up as version 5 and I get this image (attached). This is my first time in one of these threads, not sure if i have to reply to each of you individually?
    DdeGannes, could you please tell me how to recover the serial number from my operating system?

  • I have Elements 11 (and Lightroom). I just bot a SONY   RX100-II camera.

    I tried to load the photos shot in RAW, but nada. I need to know how to get the program I need so that I can use Elements 11 and Lightroom with this camera, shooitng in RAW. Am leaving for Cuba in 5 days.

    If you update to the latest lightroom 5.2, that should open the Sony RX100-II files.
    Unfortunatly pse11 can only use up to camera raw 7.4 and your files require camera raw 8.2
    Photoshop elements 12 is able to update to camera raw 8.2 though.

  • Will Elements and Lightroom open RAW files fro the Sony DSCRX-100 camera?

    I have the RX100 and confess to be an Adobe fan.   You did not say which Lightroom or which elements you want to use.  You need the latest versions.
    Photoshop Elements 11 comes with Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) version 7.0 in place when you install it.  Under the help menu, there is a choice to check for updates.  If you do, ACR 7.2 installs.  The RX100 is included in 7.2.  Previous versions of Photoshop Elements will not udate to 7.2.  When you open a RAW photo, a screen pops up that lets you adjust, convert and save to something Photoshop Elements can handle. 
    You have to have Lightroom 4.2 to get RX100 usefulness.  Lightroom uses, but hides, the ACR engine.  Instead the slider controls are built in the user interface.  When you buy it, it installs as 4.0.  The help menu also has an update choice so that you can get to 4.2 from 4.0.
    You didn't ask, but Premier Elements 11 is a good choice for video because it is he first version that "officially" supports the high quality 1080p60 or "PS" setting in the RX100. 
    On T day, I shot RAW photos of my granddaughters dancing to a Wii game in terrible light.  Yesterday I "adjusted" the batch of RAW shots taken with the RX100 in Lightroom and saved them as .jpg files.  Today, I wll make a video in Premier Elements from those .jpg images, put in some pan and zoom effects, add a sound track and put it on Vimeo. 
    My view is that an RX100 owner needs PSE 11, PrE 11 and Lightroom 4 to take advantage of the camera's capabilties.  Setting it on "fine" .jpg and uploading snapshots to Flicker leaves an awful lot on the table!

  • Lightroom 4 update for sony rx100 iii

    I have lightroom 4 installed on my Mac. I recently purchased a sony rx100 III and version 4 doesn't recognize the camera and won't import images. Is there an update to version 4 that I could download to fix the problem?

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Unfortunately, the Sony RX100 III was first supported in Lightroom 5.5.
    Retrospective support is never provided meaning earlier versions will never be able to open Raw files from that camera.
    Choices:
    Upgrade to Lightroom 5.6
    Join the Cloud to get Lightroom 5.6
    Free option: download the Adobe DNG converter, convert all RX100 III files to DNG format then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

  • Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. How do I get and install the right version of Camera Raw?

    Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac) won't open .arw files from my Sony RX100. I was told to update Camera Raw to at least 7.2. I tried to download this but got a DNG Converter instead. Where is Camera Raw? (it does not show up in a search of my hard drive. There is a folder of camera profiles but no extension or plug-in with this name). How do I find out what version I have already? How do I get the correct version?  . . . OR . . . is it the case that Bridge will never open Sony raw files directly and I will have to do a separate conversion process every time I want to use a raw file??. Can someone explain this?
    Thanks.

  • Sony RX100 Raw in Lightroom 4?

    Has Adobe published anything in LR4 to handle raw files from Sony RX100?

    I have Canons and I got the RX100 as a pocket point-and-shoot. It does a great job for that, a good solid all-around P&S camera. I find the low-light settings a bit frustrating, but in a very low-light situation I just set it on manual at a high shutter speed and get some pictures that I'm very happy about.

  • Im running lightroom 4 and just purchased the Sony A7 and using its sd card. when I   tried to load the photos, I got a message "the files are not recognized by the raw format support in lightroom"

    Tried loading my raw files shot w my new Sony a7 and its sd card into lightroom4. Got a message: "The files are not recognized by the raw format in lightroom"
    Does Lightroom 4 not work with the Sony A7?
    Thanks,

    Lightroom 4 cannot read the RAW photos from a Sony A7
    You would have to download and install the FREE Adobe DNG Converter version 8.5 and then convert your RAW to DNG, and then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
    You could also purchase Lightroom 5.5, which will have the capability to read the RAWs directly.

  • Aperture 3 RAW update for sony rx100 m3 RAW and JPEG

    Sony RAW and JPEG files unsupported by Aperture 3....help please Sony rx100 m3

    Are you trying to import RAW&JPEG pairs?  Try to set the Import settings in the Import panel to import with the JPEG selected as the original file.
    If that does not work, try to import JPEG files only.
    Are you still getting the error message?

  • Sony RX100 Hot Shoe and Flash Frustration!

    I have been a loyal Sony RX100 user since the first model came out. I have not been able to upgrade past the RX100 ii thanks to the missing hot shoe. I was told at the Sony Store that it was removed because customers are more interested in the viewfinder than adding a stronger flash. I think this is such a great camera ruined by its weak built-in flash, and I'd really like to see this added. I am so upset that the latest RX100 m4 is missing the hot shoe again! Does anyone have an update on this, is it ever going to come back? Speaking of flashes, I've gone through 3 Sony HVL-F20M flashes due to poor design. The flash breaks in the exact same spot with the smallest drop. I love this flash for my rx100 M2, but I feel that the design is in dire need of an update.

    Hi sonyluvr
    We're sorry to hear your frustrations regarding the RX100 series cameras.
    We value your feedback and we will forward your request to the engineering department for future product developments.
    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. -Anthony

  • Sony RX100: quality of RAW conversions in LR 4.2 RC

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a Sony RX100 as a replacement for an aging Canon S90. Before that I've tried the fantastic Olympus OM-D (but returned it because of a - for me - serious issue with the Sony-sourced sensor, see here http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/readflat.asp?forum=1008&message=42126356 and because the support for camera calibration profiles in LR was non-existing). I'm happy to concede that I'm spoiled by the fantastic support LR provides for my D700 and even, S90 RAW images...
    So with that background I've approached the RX100 images with a healty portion of scepticism. What I've found surprised me:
    1) the standard Adobe Standard camera calibration setting gave the best results, the other profiles gave strange (magenta) color casts, especially with direct sun light.
    2) I've found that images taken in parallel with my old S90 to give much nicer colors (though of course with a lot less resolution and more noise) - but again the colors looked much nicer, especially skies, greenery etc. I've also noted (and this was also present with the OM-D images) that the Sony image conversions has a touch too much red tint, which I had to correct manually (this doesn't happen with D700 and S90 images).
    So, I'd like to post my first impressions here for comments ;-)
    Did anybody else have similar results? Maybe I did something wrong?

    Is the DNG opened in PS as a normal picture (not in the ACR dialoge!) with the title "xyz.DNG"? If that is the case, it is actually correct. When LR detects a compatible ACR (which happened after you installed ACR 6.7), it will pass the raw/DNG directly to PS without rendering a TIFF on its own. The file name indicated by photoshop is the original raw/DNG file then.
    When you save the picture in photoshop, it will create the actual image file using the file type and other options (color space, bit depth...) you configured in Lightroom. So the outcome of the whole "edit in..." action is exactly what you want, with Photoshop creating the image file at the time you save it.
    P.S. What happened before updating to ACR 6.7 was that probably sometimes before, the ACR compatibility warning dialog appeared and you chose "render using lightroom", causing LR to produce the TIFF file on its own and Photoshop to load that TIFF file, and consequently also displaying "xyz.TIFF". Now that LR considers ACR 6.7 as compatible, that behaviour is replaced with the new behaviour as described above - and the warning dialog no longer appears.

  • HT200199 Can't import 1080i60 files from Sony RX100. Anyone know why?

    I've shot AVCHD 1080p60 and 1080i60 movies and either do not show up. Even though it's written that 1080i60 files should be recognized. Maybe the support for the RX100 is still be worked on. I know Aperture and Lightroom don't support Sony RX100 RAW yet either.

    That camera is so new that you're just going to have to wait for RAW support. Your option, in the meantime, is to use the Camera Raw conversion.

  • Sony RX100 Import

    How do I get Lightroom 5 to load up automatically after I have connected it and turned it on (I have selected Preferences>General and ticked the show dialog box and secondly how do I get Lightroom to show the "source" as a Sony camera and not some strange acronym hidden in a section called "NO NAME"?

    here is the list of supported RAW - I did not see a Sony Rx100 on the list - suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback
