All my cr3 photos have weird black bars on the sides of the photos with a pink line. Automatic device setting does not work yet in this format, whereas this problem does not occur with jpgs. When I set the device manually, I still have these bars visible. I use Canon R7 and canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 II with 7artisans adapter.

Can you share a raw file here?
That is how almost all Canon raw files look like. It is called optical black/masked pixels. A raw converter crops that field before you see it, but didn’t do it in your case. darktable users can just hit Passthrough in the module Raw black/white point to see the optical black pixels.
For Rawtherapee you find the settings in the file camconst.json
Does your camconst.json file look the same?

No i dont have raw-crop and masked_areas
Then that’s why.
ok so should i put this in my file?
Yes. Or you can just download camconst.json from GitHub and replace the one you have. Take a backup of your old one first.
Do you have latest RawTherapee? Perhaps easier to update RawTherapee?
yes
Could you send me a link to this thread or file? I would be very grateful
oh well, it’s in your first answer, it doesn’t matter
I installed this file and nothing changes
I can try tomorrow.
What version are you running? I recently updated to a Canon R7 and had the same problem with RT 5.9. I was also unable to see any meta data. From this site I learned CR3 files not fully supported on 5.9. The post suggested converting the files to DNG with the Adobe converter. That worked well but the extra step was hassle, so I gave the latest development version a try and that’s been working great for me. I now have full CR3 support and I’ve never had it crash on me. You might want to give one of those solutions a try.

No problem with RawTherapee exiv2 version Call for testing: RawTherapee metadata handling with Exiv2 (includes CR3 support)
Btw, do you need a lens profile for your EF75-300/4-5.6 III? If that is what you have. Canon has used same LensType nr for different 75-300 models…
I downloaded this version and everything actually works, thank you very much

I have EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 II so should I use a different profile than the one automatically assigned to this object? automatically completed as EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III
If you have a profile for 70-300/4-5.6 II, then use that profile.
It said version III when I opened your picture because I have forced lens recognition using the LensType nr. But as I wrote, Canon mixes those numbers so the same number is shared by both II and III.
