New 5DMKIII Raw files do not work with Lightroom 4 or PS CS4

Once again Adobe has left us poor but loyal fans out in the cold as it seems that CS4 and LR4 are not worth an Adobe Camera Raw upgrade.

After spending a fortune in hours and cash learning CS4 and $4000 on the beautiful 5DMKIII I am left with defunct product which cost me a fortune to buy new and do two courses and purchase several tutorials I have joined the many who could not afford CS5.

This time I will not cough up the cash which I don't have and can't borrow and use the provided Canon software which I will simply have to learn not easy at 60+ years old but stuff Adobe this time, I hope that the Chinese plagiarize their software and sell it cheap, my recently purchased Lightroom 4 also will not recognize the RAW files and their DNG converter also does not work.

Adios Adobe

sheesh be patient! its been stated that there isn't support YET for 5d mark iii raw files. theres an update to lightroom 4 supposedly due next week that adds support for the 5d mark III so just be patient its a BRAND new camera!

You can use the Adobe Camera Raw 6.7 at the moment to convert your RAW files into DNG and edit them in LR4. It has support for the 5DMKIII.

Partly wrong.

There WILL be an update for LR4. It has even been annouced to become available this week.

Closing this thread as there are other threads on this exact subject.
