How to deal with CR3 RAW files appearing bluish in Luminar 3

How to deal with CR3 RAW files appearing bluish in Luminar 3

When I tried to develop .CR3 RAW data shot with Canon's mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera "EOS R10" using Skylum's Luminar 3,

I encountered a phenomenon where it was displayed in a strange, bluish color.

CR3 RAW data appears bluish when imported into Luminar 3

I had been able to edit RAW files from my previous EOS 80D, which were ".CR2", without any problems, but I realized this was my first time developing RAW files from the R10.

Since a quick search didn't yield any solutions, I decided to ask support.

Conclusion

When I asked support, I received an immediate reply:

That camera is not supported by Luminar 3.

You can convert it to DNG with "Adobe DNG Converter" and then develop it, or use the latest Luminar Neo, which supports it.

For Mac OS:

For Windows:

That's what they said.

So, I tried installing "Adobe DNG Converter".

Its usage is so simple that there's no need to look it up.

The converted .DNG file could be developed as RAW in Luminar 3 without any issues.

It's a shame that it adds an extra step, but for now, I'll use this method for RAW development.

Once I save up some money, I'll consider Luminar Neo or other RAW development software.
