CR3 Format

chief — Sat, 12 Oct 2019 22:02:57 GMT

I have statrted this topic before and was helped out when it came to lightroom. Got the 90D and its RAW files are in CR3. Apple Photos will not display this format. I called Apple and they said the new OS Catalina 10.5 will take care of this issue. Well it has not, does anybody have same issue as me or am I doing something wrong?

What camera? That is what matters. The Mac does support some .cr3's like the R, for example.

It is a 90D as I said in second sentence.

AFAICT, Catalina added no new raw support, certainly none for Canon, not even the RP.

I know that, I was wondering if there was a work around, right now I download files into Lightroom then import that folder into Apple Photos, which I use as my library. When I do that images are not I order they were taken even though they are in order I Lightroom.

Photos orders things by the date taken. Have you compared the EXIF data on the images going into lightroom vs the ones coming out?

I know how photos works, for example I just took 200+ photos of an osprey fishing for around 2 hours this morning. Download them into Lightroom then import that folder into Apple Photos, in folder they are all in order but then when look at them in Photos they are all out of sequence and there is no order in which they were taken or appear in Lightroom folder

What version of Lightroom are you running? If you are using an older version, you may run into issues with ACR not being able to read the latest file formats.

The latest updates from Apple seem to have broken a number of simple things, which should not have been affected.

If you saying that you are running the latest version of LR, then why are you bothering with Photos? Use PS. Meanwhile, I suggest that you use Canon DPP to convert the CR3 files to TIFF, and load those into LR.

I dislike dpp and like to use Photos as my library was easy to use and access images but do my editing in LR since Jobs died Apple has gone down hill.

According to this post https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208967 it should be supported. However, it is not. This has been incredibly frustrating and has killed my workflow. I have sent feedback to apple, written on their forums. My friend has an R and cr3's from that camera are supported. It's been almost a year, what can we do?

I updated my RP firmware to 1.4 and any new photos are now readable by OSX. Old photos are still incompatible, but at least everything from here on out will work.

Well Apple Photos still does not accept CR3 images from a EOS 90D DSLR. When I go to download into Photos 2 out of 3 images is just a black thumbnail.

The Canon software works with CR3 files. What do you think Canon should do about Apple's Photos not working with them?

Not a clue but as past files work with Apple Photos it would stand to reason new format would also. Do not like Canon software

Re: CR3 Format - File recover software?

Hello,

I am in (urgent!) need of some file recovery software for CR3 files on an SD card. My card was formated before being downloaded. "Card Rescue" and "Stellar Photo Recovery" are not having any luck finding files. Does anyone here have any experience with recovery of an Sd card with CR3 files?

Thanks,

Brian

No experience, but try Recuva by ccleaner

Photorec has CR3 recovery support.
