Which software is actually needed to update for Adobe Lightroom to support new cameras?

Photography Asked by uncovery on March 24, 2021

I always thought that "Adobe Camera Raw" is the software that maintains all the camera information and allows also Lightroom to read new camera’s specific RAW files.

However, I have updated the "Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter" to Beta 12.4 but it does not seem to update Lightroom with the new cameras in the list. Is this a different software from "Adobe Camera Raw"?

I am having issues finding the right definitions what is what on the adobe websites.

One Answer

DNG convertor is standalone software, independent of any other software. Adobe camera RAW/Lightroom are part of Adobe Creative cloud.

So updating DNG convertor have nothing to do with updates of Adobe Creative cloud. By definition (simplified):

  • DNG convertor - convert RAW files to DNG, free
  • Adobe Creative Cloud - Lightroom/Photoshop/etc. - photo manipulation software, currently subscription based

And Lightroom use own RAW engine so it need to be updated separately from Adobe Camera RAW update.
