Turns out I wasn’t inserting my memory card directly into my Mac. When I had my Canon I plugged the camera into the Mac and imported the files from there. My A7RII didn’t work like that. So I instead the memory card directly into the Mac and use Adobe DNG Converter to convert them directly from my memory card into another folder. Then import that folder into Lightroom or whatever. If you’re having the same brain fart as I did then this may help.
If not, my bad for making you read this.
Adobe Camera Raw 8.7.1 final release is now available, adding support for the Sony Alpha 7 II and a handful of lens profiles including the EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM and EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM from Canon. A bug related to chromatic aberration with the Samsung NX1 has also been addressed in this update. See the full details from Adobe below. Camera Raw 8.7.1 is now available as a final release for Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC. This release includes support for the Sony ILCE-A7M2 and also includes a bug fix related to support for the Samsung NX1 camera. DNG Converter 8.7.1 is provided for customers using versions of Photoshop older than Photoshop CS6.
As mentioned here, updates to Camera Raw 8 for Photoshop CS6 only include new camera support, lens profile support, and bug fixes.

Johnqadams, Simply a Google search of the term 'GIMP selective color' turns up nothing useful. Now, Michael P, if free to Google search 'Photoshop Selective Color' and from there figure out what it does, or find a copy of Photoshop to try. But be forewarned: Such links as: Are NOT the selective color feature of Photoshop.
Various other links generated from Google search can mislead too. That is why one has to look at Photoshop. My example of yellow out of blue, from above, is a good one. I have yet to see that anywhere else but in very good film scanning software. (Careful, I don't want to read claims that there is no yellow in blue.).
It's really quite simple: Post a url to a tutorial or video of something Photoshop does that Gimp can't. All your talk of doing google searches about Gimp or doing google searches about Photoshop prove nothing. You're the one that said Photoshop can do things Gimp can't, so show us the url to the web pages proving that.
Simply give me a url (an page) of things Photoshop does that Gimp doesn't, then we'll go from there. I could care less about google, show me the webpage of the tutorial or video. John125: I don’t spend a lot of time looking at the terms Adobe uses to describe the process.
Or whatever that particular website said. I look at the changes, that’s a big reason I suggest actually using selective color in Photoshop before just assuming there must be a way to do the same thing in GIMP. (There indeed may be a way, but I more than suspect that way would involve some extra programing code.) Or get a Minolta film scanner and find their version of the same effect.
You’ll need the Minolta software too. (VueScan won’t do.) You can use the last iteration of the scanner line, so Konica-Minolta too, you’ll need an XP computer or one running Win7 Pro. (Don’t know the last Mac OS that will work.) To my mind “cross blending” is indeed available in both GIMP and PhotoShop through the Color Balance feature. Selective Color is not the same. HowaboutRAW, I must admit, all I can come up with when I search for tutorials about selective coloring are the ones where you produce an image for example where all is black and white and something in the image is colored. This, I admit, is different from the Selective Coloring you speak of, but the term is so confusing since it was already defined as creating an image where a color is selected in and the other colors are minimized or selected out or toned down to black and white. This is like you defining an Apple as one thing and me searching for 'Apple' to try to find it's other definition.
Quite confusing. For the sake of argument, I will concede that Photoshop will do it and Gimp can't. I would add though, that with Gimp, things that Photoshop does is quickly added to Gimp. For example, give me credit where I linked that Gimp can do 'Vibrance' now.
My final statement is that still I believe Gimp is a powerful retouching tool. It can do the majority of what photoshop can.
How about LR 6 being subscription only-that's what I'd guess. I don't have LR 5.X, so really don't know about this update problem.
Though once an update folder in my PhotoShop CS6 was corrupted and one of my C drive clones couldn't see the available updates to Camera Raw. Adobe, after much teeth pulling by me and the repeated insistence that I had to reinstall PS completely, finally said try deleting this folder in the PhotoShop program folder-that worked. Sorry can't remember the name of said folder. UFRaw and Rawtherapee will both extract raws from the A7II-not real well though. Cool there’s hope for users of CS6. Anybody know if there’s an Adobe DNG Converter 8.7.1?
And still this Sony A7II doesn’t compete with the D750 for high ISOs, 16,000 is a mess with raws I shot with the A7II. I was hoping there would be a jump in high ISO performance versus the old A7. Sony needs to fix the sensitivity of the EVF “eye sensor” in the A7II, unlike other A7 models this sensor turns off the rear screen if you’re holding the camera anywhere near say your hip and your pants/skirt aren’t a bright pale colour. This alone would be a reason I’d skip buying the camera.
And no, there is only an on/off feature, no sensitivity adjustments. (Bet firmware could fix it.). Queza: Money is tight this year is part of the D750 answer. There's always something else about to release is another part.
Waiting to see if there's some widely reported problems with the D750. I'm not 'in' the Nikon system, so would have to also buy lenses-Zeisses, since the colour of Nikon lenses isn't up to my standards. I'm also waiting to get my own raws from the Samsung NX1, though it's not looking real good past ISO 6400 from the various raws I've downloaded. I was genuinely hoping the A7II would be a big increase in IQ over the A7-sort of like wishing that the A7S would seriously compete with the Nikon Df for higher ISO work-it doesn't. Perchance the rumored Sony A9 will have say 18MP + uncompressed raws.
The EVF 'eye sensor' on the Sony A7II is really really annoying-and for that reason alone I'd skip it, until Sony fixes it. Unlike the D750, the shutter on the A7II remains very audible-though it's quieter than the first A7's shutter. There is literally no change between the D750 and D610 in IQ. So you shot on Leica, or on crop cameras? If the former, then it's hard to imagine you can't afford a D750, since selling one lens = D750 kit done (or how you managed to get so poor from owning $10k worth of photography gear).
And if you're shooting them on crop cameras, I got news for you, they aren't that special (see the LensRentals blog on sensor stacks messing up Leicas). So really, are you fantasizing again? Quezra: There's a big improvement in higher ISO performance going from the D610 to D750-raw. You can download raws from DPR or IR studio scenes which readily confirm this point. This agrees with my own raws. No, I shot Leica M lenses. The M mount is public domain.
And I've never shot an M lens on a crop camera. (Unless you count maybe a few M8 samples, not a very interesting camera.) For a while I shot a Zeiss 50mm f/1.4 on a Samsung NX100-the colour was amazing, ultimately it wasn't sharp enough and sharpness isn't even something I chase. That's 'crop'.
Money comes in and then goes out. Why don't you try the cameras and lenses I've tried and owned before commenting? Quezra: I'm not currently shooting an APSC sensor-and the NX100's is indeed excellent. (Not for higher ISOs, say over 1600.) Right I aspire to own a good FF camera, but don't. I've rented the D700, D3s and D4. I seek high ISOs and good colour, so that rules out cameras like the A7, and the D610 too, the latter for high ISO capacity. The D750 however is a big jump.
No, I don't think the NX1 will be better than the A7/D610, try not making up an argument for me-it's a sign of weakness in your position. Now, the absolutely best Samsung NX lenses are optically better than the best Nikon lenses-so that's a draw with the NX1. A DPR staff member embarrassed DPR, rather badly.
