Adobe has released a beta .DNG converter for .CR3 files from both the Canon EOS R5 and Canon EOS R6.
Support for the following cameras has been added. Visit the Camera Raw page for a complete list of supported cameras.
You can download Adobe DNG Converter 12.4 Beta here.
The latest Raw Image Extension in the Microsoft Store lets me see thumbnails for all my RAW files from 5D4, EOS R, etc.(CR2 & CR3) in Windows 10.
Yeah same thoughts here. Not LR Classic, they should add the R5 and R6 to Adobe Camera RAW after which it'll be available in both PS and LR. But DNG converter? Come on!
Double check that the (un)sharpening settings in your viewer of choice are the same. My install of Lightroom will add a bit of sharpening for RAW files, but not for TIFF files. I don't know if that's the default or a misconfiguration on my part, but it did cause similar headscratching as you describe.
Whoa, it never occurred to me that something extra needed to be downloaded; here I've been grumpily waiting for that to come along via Windows update. Thanks for pointing it out.
Imminently if they have the algorithm in house, which they obviously do if they are using it here.
Does anybody like any Adobe profile, least of all the ones trying to emulate Canon's own? On the rare occasions I want Canon colors I shoot RAW and large jpeg and just send the jpegs.
Yes, I and many other users do like Adobe’s emulations.
I almost always convert my 5DsR RAW files to dng on import into Lightroom. I've looked very closely and can't see any loss in quality. I normally shoot cRAW with the R and don't see any loss in quality compared to RAW. The dng versions are actually bigger than the original cRAW, so I don't convert.
Personally I don't find Adobe's emulations particularly bad but I have never thought of them as particularly accurate to Canon originals either, which I tend to prefer. Indeed I find one of the major improvements in cameras over the last two or three generations has been the jpeg output, if I am happy with exposure I am often happy with OOC jpegs.
