The fact that you were so eager to buy a new Canon is great, and I'm sure Canon appreciates your donation to their cause. I hadn't realized that Adobe included a beta release of DNG Converter 6.7 as well or I'd have recommended that workflow 57Andrew ::Ĭanon and Adobe are two different companies, not one and the same. Use Adobe's pre-release version of DNG converter /downloads/cameraraw6-7.html to convert the Mk3 raw files to DNG, then import into Lightroom. There is a workaround, although its slow and blows the LR efficient workflow out of the water. Having paid HK$27k for the thing I don't think it is unreasonable to expect to be able to use it with the platform I choose not what Canon wants to force on me until Adobe reverse engineers it. Buying a new Canon and finding you have to "be patient" or use Canon's dreadful DPP is not very customer friendly. Depending on what I am shooting I either use Leica or Canon. It is incredibly frustrating and the developers at Canon & Adobe need their heads banging together. Thanks for the information, Adobe will eventually catch up. and it's so old that everything under the sun knows all about its. the only digital camera i'm shooting with nowadays that doesn't produce DNG files natively is my ancient but still delightful Olympus E-1. (this "waiting for support for native raw" business that is one of the drivers which pushed me to cameras and processes that produce DNG raw files as native. How long until that happens is anyone's guess. I imagine a PS CS6 + ACR 7.1 release is imminent, and an Lr v4.1 release will be synchronized with it. My guess is that 'within the month' is more likely than 'within the week'. iWork's expect this bug fix will include reengineering proprietary RAW file formats for newly freleased cameras like the 5Diii. As soon as thes are resolved, v4.1 or v4.01 will be released. If you have PS CS5, you can download the pre-release Camera Raw v6.7, convert the files to DNG, and then load the DNGs into Lightroom.Īnd when do you think lightroom will release a working update? 1 week or 1 month? i need it to work as per the 5d ii does now.effortlessly.Īdobe is working very hard on fixing some new bugs mostly related to imported catalogs whic did not get tested in the beta. I have a 5d iii in my hands now, what can i do to get the files to work? Godfrey DiGiorgi (a group admin) edited this topic ages says: DNG Converter is what you need to make 5DIII files backwards compatible with older versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom (although you can also output DNGs from Camera Raw itself, if you have Bridge or Photoshop and so desire). The ACR v6.7 beta release is for PS CS5/Bridge use and does not include DNG Converter. I doubt if this would work with Lr 3 though!!Ĭamera Raw plugins do nothing at all for Lightroom. The Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7 update release candidate is now available with support for the 5d mark iii If what Cletus Lee says is the case, and you remain with Lr3.6, you may need to await an updated Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter, which will allow you to convert all your 5d mark iii raw files to DNG, which Lr3 will be able to work with.Īnd what Harry's say only applies if you are unable to spend the $79 upgrade cost to move to LR4.x. Support for Canon 5DMkIII is not in the current 4.0 release and hopefully (but no guarantee) be in the first incremental release of LR4. and LR3.6 is most probably the last update for LR3. If past history is any indication, now that LR4 is out there will most likely be no incremental updates to LR3. This is always the case with every new camera that produces raw format files unless the camera produces native DNG format raw files. Until Adobe issues an update that supports the Canon 5D III raw file format, you will not be able to process its raw files in Lightroom or Camera Raw. Will the images work straight away in lightroom 3 or does the 5d mark iii file not work?
