When will the new Sony ILCE-5100 raw files be supported?

I cannot open the ARW 2.3 files in Lightroom or Photoshop.

Surely they should be working on these things before cameras are released for sale...
I too used to be under the impression that the camera makers and Adobe would work closely together to ensure maximum software support for all new cameras released on the market. I've come to see that this does not happen.
Camera manufacturers have no obligation or incentive to provide advance information to 3rd party software vendors such as Adobe to make the lives of Adobe customers easier. Never happens. Adobe has to wait (like everyone else) for the SDK (software development kit) to be issued by the camera manufacturer then they can add Raw support for that camera to Adobe Camera Raw.
Camera makers prefer to ship their own (often crappy) software utilities for processing Raw files with each camera.
Many years ago, Adobe freely offered the DNG format to the camera industry to avoid reliance on proprietary Raw file formats and constant Camera Raw updates for consumers. This was more or less ignored by the camera makers. There are very few cameras with inbuilt DNG support.

    Just curious if there is a work around now.  So, I can get it in LR

    There is no Adobe raw support yet for this camera that was only announced May 1. 
    You’ll have to wait until the public release candidate for either LR or the DNG Converter becomes available at Adobe Labs at some point in the future:  http://labs.adobe.com/
    If the sensor and optics are exactly the same as a previous camera, then you might be able to hack something into working by hex-editing the raw files to pretend they are that other camera, but I don’t have any information about what camera that might be.
    About the best you can do, for now, is use Sony’s software to output TIFs from your raw files, and then edit those TIFs in Adobe software.  Be sure to adjust the WB before outputting the TIFs.

  • When will the new sony Z4 or Z3+ be released in Australia?

    Hello, Sony, and almost all manufacturers, rarely  announce new products until just before release, so they can keep selling their present stock .Predicting a release is pure supposition. You could ring Sony, but I predict the reply! It also depends which network/s decide to sell their product, and if they demand any software corrections or enhancements. Thanks

    There has yet to be an official announcement for Australia, the last hints Sony gave suggested July, but alas that didn't happen.
    You can register here: https://www.telstra.com.au/eoi/keep-informed/ and will get information sent to you once it does become available.

    Just posted to Lightroom Journal Lightroom Journal | Tips and advice straight from the Lightroom team. It's not Lightroom, but does address the original question. Definitely worth a look, sooner rather than later.

  • WHEN WILL THE NEW IPHONE BE AVAILABLE FOR ON-LINE PURCHASE?

    Ordered the first iphone on-line and want to order the new one the same way. When will the new model be available for on-line purchase?

    Maybe never, but doubtful anyone here has any idea before Apple makes an announcement.
    We can thank the hackers and those more interested in making a few bucks by selling non-activated iPhones via eBay.
