AiDon Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 It seems that support for the Canon CR3 format is a long time coming as the first camera with native CR3 images was the EOS M50 and was released on 26 February ... As it is now September is there any likelihood we will see native RAW support for CR3 images soon? This is the new Canon format and will be in all new cameras.

It's really tedious and slow to develop the raw philes in Canon's Digital Photo Professional first. And I find that, if I convert it with the free Adobe DNG converter, the dng files look very washed out in Affinity Photo. Please guys.... the M50 is already the best selling camera in Japan, and all Canon's new cameras will use cr3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AiDon Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 It seems as though most companies have been slow in producing support for Canon's CR3 as even now Phase One has just released preliminary support in the latest version of capture One Pro. Only Adobe, which is not an option for me, has mature support because they have had RAW conversion capabilities since April this year. Obviously that is good for people who subscribe to Adobe products, it isn't an option for me, but with the release of the EOS R it should speed the industry up to release CR3 support. Maybe the industry didn't think CR3 was the updated CR2?

TszLeung Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Oh... Adobe is just supported Canon CR3 now... I'm waiting Affinity Photo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMM Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 I have just bought an M50 and am looking at a trial version of Affinity as a change from PSE11. I am very impressed, but the lack of CR3 support in a big turn-off. Please, Serif, give us a date for CR3 support and I will buy it immediately.

Dlight Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 No news on this front? It is really depressing to have bought a software and a new camera and can not work smoothly and quickly as before.I hope that the developers can give us news on the development of support for CR3 soon.

Staff MEB Posted October 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hi Dlight, Welcome to Affinity Forums We are continuously adding support for more cameras/models on each release. It's just a question of time until .CR3 support gets implemented, quite possibly in the next update (1.7). Bear with us while we work on it.

So I hope that the 77D gets support as well (it still uses cr2 files, but they don't really work correctly in terms of colour) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP.Imaging Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 When will (1.7) be officially released and does it support .CR3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 26 minutes ago, JP.Imaging said: When will (1.7) be officially released and does it support .CR3 No one but Serif knows when it will be released, and they are not saying. As for .CR3, there are two factors to consider: Whether you're on Mac or Windows. Mac users have a choice of the Serif Labs Raw engine, or the Apple Raw engine, which may support a different set of cameras. CR3 is a file format. What Serif supports is specific camera models. A newer camera may produce an incompatible CR3 file, which Serif might not be able to handle. So you need to talk about what camera you have, not simply what file format you're interested in. For Mac, you can find a list of the cameras currently supported by Serif in the posts in this topic. This is a changing list, so you should read all the posts. For Windows, you can find a similar list in the posts in this topic. Again, the list changes, so you should read all the posts.

JP.Imaging Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I am a windows user and the camera is a Canon EOS R. I only shoot raw so it is a let down that Affinity cannot handle the raw files. Kirk, Terry Danks and Miguel Angel Quintero 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Info. I am also disappointed... first impression was good but i already owned a canon m50 supporting .cr3! I bought tje software and was pretty sure .cr3 will be suppirted soon. But nothing until now has happend and even not a fair answer till when this will be supported. I will try to get my money back. DXOPhotoLab looks quite interessting. AFFINITY I REALLY LIKED YOU!

Staff Gabe Posted September 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2019 It seems to be an Apple RAW related issue, which we have already logged with them. The only workaround, for now, is to re-boot the ipad and try to force apple RAW in recognising this file type. One way to do it is to drag-drop a CR3 file inside Photos. If you then start Photo, it should work. I've just reproduced this workflow on an iPad here in the office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ingram Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 For the Windows version, we're looking at version 1.8 for CR3 support. Keep an eye on the beta forums to test it out when it becomes available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlt Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 And we're there. I just stumbled across this thread, but it's worth updating to note that the CR3 support is in and working in the 1.8 Beta. And loving it!
