Lightroom 2.5 and Camera Raw 5.5 are now available as final releases on Adobe.com and through the update mechanisms available in Photoshop CS4 and Lightroom 2. These updates include camera support for the following models:
- Nikon D300s
- Nikon D3000
- Olympus E-P1
- Panasonic DMC-FZ35**
- Panasonic DMC-GF1
**Note that in Europe and Japan this model is marketed as the DMC-FZ38. Unfortunately, due to a metadata difference between these cameras, files from the DMC-FZ38 will *not* be supported until the next Camera Raw and Lightroom updates.
Release Notes:
- Camera Raw 5.5 and Lightroom 2.5 include a correction to the demosaic algorithms for Bayer sensor cameras with unequal green response. Olympus, Panasonic and Sony are among the more popular camera manufacturers affected by this change. But the demosaic correction provides only a subtle visual improvement to the processing of those raw files.
- Lightroom 2.5 corrects for the following problem in Lightroom 2.4. Lightroom 2.4 on Windows continued to display the import dialog when a memory card was detected regardless of the preference setting "Show import dialog when a memory card is detected."
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on our Camera Raw 5.5 Release Candidate.
When will Lightroom support the canon 7d raw files?
[Lightroom 2.5 and Lightroom 3 beta provide unofficial support for the Canon EOS 7D which means that the applications will open the file but the color profiles are still quite inaccurate. Official support will be provided in the next Lightroom update. (2.6) -TH
I have PS 3 and Light room 2 and have just bought a Canon 7D.
How do I open in raw ?
i need Lightroom to be able to read my 7D raw files ASAP
When will Lightroom 2.6 be released or are you waiting until 3.) release to support the Canon EOS 7D RAW?
Don't Panic. Read the directions on your EOS DIGITAL Solution Disk for Digital Photo Professional. On P.38 there are directions for converting to jpegs or tiffs.
Having said "Don't Panic", I should add that I panicked a bit myself!
I'm considering buying the Canon 7D but I shoot in RAW and I need to be able to use Lightroom. Is lightroom not supporting 7D RAW files as of November 1, 2009? I hope so!
Hi... I can work with the full Raw in lightroom but not with the M Raw and S Raw... neither in Photoshop CS 4... :(
Please send to me an email when you have the upgrade for the RAW plug in!
Thanks a lot
This is so frustrating! Lightroom 2.5 will not read my sRAW canon 7d files!!!
Aren't these programs suppose to keep up to date with the cameras?
I have the same issue.
I also need to be able to open and convert raw files from the 7d in lightroom ASAP!
I need lightroom 2 and CS3 to be able to read my 7D MRaw and SRaw files, as of Nov 5th. I might upgrade to CS4 if needed but would prefer not if possible as I like CS3 (and its more money!)
will start learning Canon DPP.
I just wanted to add my voice to those who need Canon 7D RAW support in Lightroom. My new camera will arrive in two days (can't wait), and I use Lightroom for all my processing. I hope this will be a high priority for the LR developers at Adobe (who, by the by, do a great job!).
I have just purchased a Canon 7D and cannot even open a still jpeg file in Adobe Premier 7. I have reduce the size of jpg to under 1M and still will not open. Do you have suggestions?
I have a Canon 7D and can not open the raw file in Photoshop CS3.
Will you be updating the plug-in for CS3?
We really need an update for my 7D! i shoot professionally and i need lightroom! im well aware that i can convert with the canon software but i need the control that lightroom offers. dont let us down adobe!
I have purchased a canon 7D and CS3 can not open the RAW file!
When will this be updated?
No answers in here what I can see!
I just got my 7D today. I've been playing with it all day. I can process my RAW files in LR 2.5 but they look horribly noisy at higher ISO's. The same RAW files look sooooooooooooooo much better when processed with DPP. However, I hate DPP's workflow and MUCH prefer LR's workflow. I really really hope that LR is "fixed" soon. Adobe...any ideas?
I attended a Canon Live Learning event in Dallas last weekend and when several Canon 7D customers, including myself, complained about the amount of noise in their recently shot images, Canon representatives suggested we switch to Canon's DPP software since 3rd party vendors were unable to process files accurately. I do not plan on changing my post production workflow but will leave my 7D in the office until Adobe can accurately handle these files. I am also reluctant to purchase the 1D MK IV until these files can be handled by Lightroom and Photoshop as well.
purchased canon 7d on 5/11 lightroom is processing raw files ok , I import and convert to dng all seems ok
INTERESTING......ALOT OF FRUSTRATED EOS 7D PURCHASERS, AND NO RESPONSE FROM ADOBE???
COME-ON ADOBE!!!!
THESE PEOPLE HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS ON YOUR PRODUCTS!!!
SOME HAVE THEIR JOBS/INCOMES DEPENDING ON YOUR HASTINESS TO PRODUCE THE 'SERVICE THEY HAVE ACTUALLY PAID FOR'!!!
YOU GUYS SHOULD DO MUCH-MUCH BETTER THAN THAT?!? MUST DO BETTER THAN THAT!!
CANON KEEP COMING OUT WITH THE BEST SLR'S IN THE WORLD AND PEOPLE BUY THEM......."DON'T PISS THESE PEOPLE OFF"!!!
(for your own sakes??)
Adobe needs to either pressure Canon into full support of DNG and drop their unique format or they need to have it ready to go a a download to the download for camera raw on day one of the new Camera. I can't believe that a table driven approach to the format couldn't be developed so this isn't brain surgury. I am holding up my purchase of the Canon 7D awaiting for Photoshop to have a 7D raw converter. Yes I know about DPP and converting to TIFF but that is not the workflow that I use nor will ever use. I will wait for Adobe to ready the Raw updater to support it. After all how different can they really be from the 50D. This should'nt be that hard. You may tell that I was a programmer for over 30 years. Adobe do you need some help?
Thank you if someone is reading this,
Bruce Person
Adobe, any word on Canon 7D support? I'm stuck in bad options: either not using the 7D (and reverting to an old, bad camera), not using Lightroom (and changing the workflow), using Lightroom (with bad conversion), ... Can you provide a beta 5.6 converter? and maybe do updates every week that get better?
As someone who has a 7D, it works so so in LR 2.5. Looking forward to the support from Adobe; however, I understand that Canon themselves have yet to release the SDK kit for the 7D and 1DMK4. This seems to be the hold up on several 3 rd party products.
I would hazard to guess that They are doing some serious reworking on the D4... reason being that they have been overly restrictive on reviews, sample images, and videos. Something is up, its not making 5K for the next camera sound like a good investment for a few months. I woul not blame Adobe here on this hold up.
I have the same problem with the panasonic FZ38 which isn't recognize yet for the RAW.
I just wish we could have any info from adobe about "when" we could expect to see the next release of camera raw (so I could stop checking the sites every day :))
I shot a Wedding this last weekend and was very disappointed to get error message, "Unknown errors occurred. (1807)" This is like the buggy before the horse. Im on hold with Adobe Tech Support right now trying to get this resolved.
I am just shooting in Raw plus JPEG. Saving the Raw for when Adobe has the conversion software - hopefully soon.
I just downloaded and installed Lightroom 3 Beta, which includes Camera Raw 6.0 and has no problem with native support for the CR2 files from my EOS 7D. I installed the 64-bit version on my system running Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit edition).
Hopefully Adobe releases this for Photoshop and a Lightroom update soon...
