How do I open raw files from a Panasonic DMC-GF5 using Elements10 on a PC?

How do I open RAW files from a Panasonic DMC-GF5 camera using Elements 10 on my PC?  When I try to open a Raw file I get a message 'wrong type of file'

I believe you need ACR 7.1 which PSE10 cannot be updated to. 
Use the DNG Converter to make DNGs from the RAW files and those should open in your older PSE version.
You can also buy a newer version of PSE.  Perhaps do a Trial (Try) of PSE12 and see if PSE13 comes out in the next week or so.
The DNG Converter can be found on this page:  http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates

  • How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    How can I open raw files from my Nikon D7100 in CS4 or CS5?

    Andy,
    In the simple and short form, what happens with the ACR (Adobe Camera RAW) module is that it gets updated with regularity, to accommodate the camera mfgr's. changes for their newer models. That ACR works within the host program, such as Ps, PsElements, Lightroom, etc.. At a point, Adobe ceases to support older host program versions. When that happens, the user has a few options:
    Upgrade the host program version
    Use another host program, such as PsElements or Lightroom
    Use the free DNG converter, per Curt's suggestion. That is not host program dependent
    Glad that the DNG Converter works for you.
    Good luck,

    3. Use manufacturer's software and convert to TIF (or JPG)

  • How do I open RAW files from the Nikon D4s in photoshop?

    How do I open RAW files from the Nikon D4s in Photoshop? I have the updated newest version.

    The Nikon D4S is a brand new camera which has just been added by Adobe to Camera Raw 8.4.
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw8-4/?tabID=details#tabTop
    8.4 has not yet been finally released but you can download and install a pre-release copy for CS6 and CC (it is not compatible with CS5 and earlier)

  • How do I open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1?

    Just tried to open raw files from my Canon 6D in Photoshop CS5.1. An error message appeared: "
    Could not complete your request because the file appears to be from a camera model which is not supported by the installed version of Camera Raw.
    Please visit the Camera Raw help documentation for additional information." Is there a simple solution?

    You cannot, nor will you ever be able to open your Canon raw files directly in CS5.1.  Your camera model requires at least ACR 7.3 which only works with CS6, or Lightroom 4.3.  There will be no further updates for CS 5.1 ever.
    Your choices are (1) to upgrade to CS6, or (2) to download the latest version of the Adobe DNG Converter, currently 7.4, and convert your Canon raw files to raw DNG files that you can then open in your CS5.1.
    You should also know that the rendering in ACR 7.4 is far superior tou the raw conversion in ACR 6.x, so you would be leaving a lot of image quality on the table if you go the (free) DNG Conversion route.

  • Aperture wont open raw files from my panasonic fz18

    Hi Everyone, I have been using aperture 3 for about a year and have no problems opening raw files from my nikon camera but I thought I would use my old panasonic FZ18 when I go kayaking just in case the camera gets wet. To my surprise when I downloaded my raw files into Aperture from my FZ18 they would not open. Is there a codec or program update that will enable Aperture to open my raw files.
    Thanks Colin

    The FZ18, FZ35 and later are not supported by Apple RAW processing mostly due to the exotic barrel distortion correction that needs to be applied for wide angle shots.  Even Adobe DNG converter will not convert the .RW2 files to DNG unless you use dngsanitize to remove the lens correction metadata.  You can then bring the DNG files into Aperture.

  • How to get Adobe Camera RAW loaded so I can open RAW files from a Panasonic LX7?

    I opened these images two days ago. Now I get a message that the CS6 Photoshop does not recognize this type of file. I went online and again(3rd time)downloaded Camera RAW 7.3 and tried installing and opening the images.
    Once again - same thing.
    Now I have something called a DNG converter on the machine and I don't know what it is.
    I opened it and tried to get to the LX7 files in my computer I can see in Bridge - and the DNG converter does not show the files at all.
    I was doing just fine with CS5 - then I bought this piece of crap because I could not get an update for CS5 to open the Panasonic Lumix LX7 images. So, I wasted $200 on CX6 only to find I can't get my images opened.
    I hate photoshop more every damn day
    First, took three days and over 9 hours wasted on hold for Adobe phone help - and finally got a guy on to help me register Photoshop CS6 - and he could not get it to register. Finally after a day & a half and hours of continually cutting and pasting from teh online computer to the main computer that does not hook up to the Internet I got CS6 to work.
    Then, I opened the Panasonic LX7 RAW images twice after downloading and installing Adobe Camera RAW 7.1 and 7.3 - and now the machine does not recognize the files and tells me to go to http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111
    I went there and have downloaded the Camera Raw 7.1 and 7.3 four different times now and tried installing it - and Still can't open the damn files. I keep getting the same "photoshop cannot open this file" message and teh same referenc to teh above.
    How can I get this piece of Shiz to work???
    Oh - the name for ID above is after 22 minutes of trynig to find an name this program would accept.

    The first thing I would suggest is, in Photoshop, go to Help/About Plug-Ins and click on Camera Raw to verify what version is installed. There should only be one version listed, and listed only once. If there are more, then you need to get rid of the extras.
    The DNG converter is a program that will create DNG (digital negative) copies of your raw images. It takes all of the raw image data and copies it to a new file format. The raw data is unmodified, and the DNG file is a standardized and open documented file format. But the DNG converter will not list the actual files. You choose the folder that contains your original raw images, and then the converter will put the copies wherever you choose to put them. But if your camera is supposed to be supported by the latest version of Camera Raw, I don't know if converting will solve the problem. It won't hurt anything; your raw files are still intact.
    It would be helpful if you could describe your computer; operating system, how much RAM, a little information to allow the experts (of which I am NOT one) to help you isolate and solve this problem.

  • How to open raw files from a panasonic gx7 in lightroom 4

    just bought a panasonic gx7 camera unable to open the raw files in lightroom 4,elements 9 and elements 11. have downloaded dng 8.2 still wont open raw files

    You can't just download the DNG converter. It has to be installed. It is a standalone program that you must run independently from Lightroom. You choose a FOLDER in the DNG converter, and it will convert all the images in that folder. Have you tried to do these things?

  • How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my Canon 70d?

    How do I upgrade elements 10 to open raw files from my canon 70d?

    Normally, if there are any updates for your version of PSE then they should be offered to you automatically.  However, you can also check if there are any new updates by going to:
    Help >> Updates
    If your camera is relatively new then even by getting the updates you may not be able to edit raw files from the new camera because old versions of PSE are normally not updated as soon as the new version hits the market.  We are currently at version 13 so version 10 was stopped long time ago.  However, you can see a workaround at this link where I posted a video to get things moving:
    <Why can't I open my RAW files from my Nikon D7000 ?? I can open RAW files from my old Nikon D70's but not my D7000...>
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I open raw files in elements 12 from nikon d810

    How can I use PS Elements (Mac) to open raw files from Nikon D810?

    Hi,
    The D810 requires camera raw 8.6 which currently is not available for Photoshop elements.
    You could download and install the free Adobe DNG converter and use that to convert the NEF files to DNG files which can then be processed by Photoshop elements.

  • How can I open RAW files with PSE 12 from Olympus o-md e-m 10?

    How cam I open RAW files ? I use PSE 12, the Olympus om-d em 10 and windows 7.

    Photoshop Elements 12 should be able to recognise raw files from the OM-D E-M10.
    Check which camera raw you currently have by loading the editor, going to the Help menu and selecting About plug-in -> Camera Raw
    If it not at version 8.5 then go to the Help menu and select Updates
