Something has broken Adobe Camera Raw Enhance Details + AI Denoise such that Sony A7R V files cannot be operated on.
Sony A7R V firmware: 2.01
Camera RAW: 16.1.1.1733
Photoshop CC 2024: 25.4.0
Recent changes include a Photoshop update, and a firmware update 2.01 to my Sony A7R V.
I am not aware of any file format change, and I don’t see any changed version numbers in the RAW file EXIF info. I’ve quit and restarted Photoshop.
Files I shot earlier this month work fine.
UPDATE: somehow the camera got set to Lossless Comp (M), which downsamples 60MP RAW to APS-C pixel count of 26MP, and is no longer a real RAW file. Me bad. That’s right, those stupid "RAW" files of size M and S and not real RAW.
Adobe caught this, thanks Adobe!
The image resolution from the EXIF suggests this is a reduced resolution raw file (i.e., not the full 60 MP). Do you recall configuring the camera configured this way?
Reduced-res raw files have already been demosaiced (by the camera) and are effectively linear RGB raw files. Denoise currently only works on mosaic (Bayer or X-Trans) raw files, hence the error message.
