Hi Mocha,

Thank you for your answer. Do you have any idea is there really any logical explanation from Canon or Adobe for this. Do they work together so that Adobe is able to sell more programmes. I mean surely I won't ( = can't afford) to buy a new version of Photoshop just because of this.

Anyway, thanks for your answer. I appreciate.

Hi jakoari,

Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. Once they brought out a new upgrade (CS4, CS5, CS6.... LR1, LR2, LR5) they stopped supporting the older version and you cannot upgrade the 'ACR' >> 'Adobe Camera Raw', this is the part of the program that convert's your RAW files into a medium that Lightroom/Photoshop can work with.

This was one way of insuring people upgraded to the 'latest and greatest' once they bought a new camera.

In fairness to Canon they have alway's provided and updated their 'Digital Photo Professional' software and RAW converter free of charge to EOS Canon owner's.

As for Adobe they offer you the free 'Adobe DNG converter', where you can with the latest one convert all your files to .DNG and then open them in your older Adobe product.

I suppose with Adobe CC product's you never have to worry about upgrading so your latest camera RAW's convert, because your product is always up to date and you are always paying for it.
