New PhotoLab v9.5 Unable to read Sony A7V Lossy Compressed RAW files

DxO PhotoLab
1

Hello,

Just upgraded to the new PhotoLab v9.5. It is unable to open my lossy compressed Sony A7V RAW files ( It still says “This image cannot be processed as this RAW format is not supported”.

I tried shooting a couple of lossless RAW files with my A7V and PhotoLab is able to open + process them.

Can you please fix this bug? @Marie

Thanks

I imagine you think this is a bug because DxO hasn’t clearly documented that Sony’s new compressed RAW format(s) from this camera aren’t supported. I believe DxO needs to clarify that, and they’re not alone. I see that Adobe hasn’t initially supported lossy RAW files from this camera, either. It isn’t clear to me if that is changing. Unfortunately, DxO might not ever support it if it’s just a matter of updating this FAQ article to include the new camera:

Are additional RAW formats (such as sRAW, mRAW, RAW-S, etc.) supported if a camera’s standard RAW images are compatible? – Help center

Note the phrase “such as” which puts the emphasis in the article on compressed RAW formats in general (rather than specific kinds).

Of course, DxO has the final word on this. I hope they are able to add support for such file formats, but also know they aren’t likely to make promises.
