Camera Raw CS4 5.2 Update/Panasonic LX5 .RW2 Files Won't Open

Hi, recently purchased a Panasonic LX5 that shoots raw using the .rw2 extension. Tried importing into Camera Raw via Bridge, but couldn't get it to open. Read around and discovered that Raw needs to be manually updated to 5.2 and some profiles need to be installed (which I've done). Went to the Adobe download section and followed the directions for installing on a mac (OS 10.6.8) - when I open up other files it reads Camera Raw 5.2 at the top. However, the Panasonic LX5 files still won't open. Did some more searching and I've read that everything from the "files will open without problem" to "they need to be converted using a .DNG converter." So, I'm confused; am I doing something wrong? Is there an additional step I'm missing to the 5.2 update? Do I just need to download the .DNG converter and use that? Any help is appreciated.
I'm on:
Mac 10.6.8
Running CS4

You should probably update all the way to Camera Raw 5.7, which was the latest update for Photoshop CS4.

  • No camera profiles in development module for Panasonic GH4 rw2 files, imported in Lightroom 5.6.

    No camera profiles in development module for Panasonic GH4 rw2 files, imported in Lightroom 5.6.
    Only the "Adobe Standard" is shown. In metadata I can see that the camera and lense were recognized correctly. What could be the reason?

    The sample GH4 raw file I found on PhotographyBlog does have a lens profile that the Adobe applies automatically without having lens profiles being enabled.  This is indicated in Photoshop CC / ACR 8.x so perhaps LR 6 will give us the same indication:
    By comparison, here is what the uncorrected raw file looks like in a raw converter that doesn't do lens corrections:

  • Camera Raw CS4 Canon Rebel T3i update?

    Is there an update to Camera Raw (CS4!) for the Canon EOS Rebel T3i?
    Or, is there an equivelant method for opening CR2 files in PS CS4?
    Can I update to Camera Raw 6.4.1 (which is when it started support for the Canon Rebel T3i) with CS4?

    Once a new verson of PS comes out camera raw is not updated, and the old version is not suppported.
    Also, you have to stay with the ACR for each version, which is one number higher than the PS version.  So for CS4 you have to stay with ACR 5.x
    You options are to upgrade to current version so you can use ACR 7.x or download the free current DNG converter.  Currently the DNG converter is 7.1 which is the same as ACR 7.1.

  • I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    I am trying to open CR2 files from a Cannon EOS 1DX camera in Photoshop CS6 and I have already updated the Camera Raw Plug in but Photoshop is still giving me the cannot open files dialog box? Help?

    Canon 1DX support was added to ACR in version 6.7, 7.1.  An updated CS6 should be at level ACR 8.6.  If your ACR is not at level 8.6 try using CS6 menu Help>Updates.  If that does not install ACR 8.6 try downloading the ACR and DNG 8.6 converter and see if ACR 8.6 will install into your CS6.

  • Will camera raw 8.7.1 update via plugin be available to Photoshop Elements 12 or at least Photoshop Elements 13?

    Hello
    Will the recent camera raw 8.7.1 update via plugin be available to Photoshop Elements 12 or at least Photoshop Elements 13? (Mac)
    I understand it likely won't for PSE 12, however what about PSE 13? The official "Adobe Website" info for PSE 13 only refers to Camera Raw module V.8.6. Can someone advise please?
    Would customer support email a link to the plugin module for Camera Raw 8.7.1 for a manual download/installation? The official 8.7.1 DNG/CR Download packages available via Adobe.com are only complete packages and won't update the embedded PSE plug-in mentioned above.
    Many thanks for your support
    Jonny

    As far as photoshop elements is concerned, the added camera support for the sony A7II in camera raw 8.7.1 is probably the only thing on this page that affects pse.
    (the camera raw version in photoshop elements doesn't have any user setting for camera lens profiles or applying chromatic aberration)
    Camera Raw 8.7.1 is now available
    Photoshop elements should have camera raw 8.7 available using Help>Updates from within the photoshop elements 13 editor.
    (very unlikely that pse 12 will ever get the camera raw 8.7.1 update or any camera raw updates past camera raw 8.5)
    Do you need camera raw support for that camera in photoshop elements 13?
    If you do, i would post at these two places and see if you get any response from an adobe employee.

    Installed the CC updates yesterday. Downloaded pics from my Canon 70D in Camera Raw. Since the updates Bridge no longer recognizes them; advises me to get the latest update, which I have. Both Photoshop CC's recognize the pics, just not Bridge (thanks for having Photoshop now show thumbnails of CR pics). Any Ideas on how to fix?

    Thanks for the link Jeff. Couldn't find any links on the Adobe site.
    Even with that link though, I was still left puzzled as it didn't give multiple versions, just a 32 bit and 64 bit version.
    I tried the 64 bit and it didn't work, so I assumed that was what had already been installed in the update.
    Now installed the 32 bit version, and fingers crossed. At least it starts up now!

  • Can't update camera raw:  "Unable to apply updates"

    Can't update camera raw:  "Unable to apply updates You are already running Adobe Application Manager. Please close all instances of Adobe Application Manager before applying updates." The only instance of AAM that is running is the one that opens automatically when I click "Updates" in the PS 6 Help menu.

    Check in Task Manager (Windows) or Activity Monitor (Mac) if there is any instance of AAM running.

  • Camera RAW support 2.2 update and Nikon .NEF unsupported image format

    Hi,
    I Use a Nikon D2x and only take raw images (.NEF file)
    After I update from RAW support 2.1.1 update to RAW support 2.2 update, all my raw image file (.NEF file) taken before 13th September 2006 ! would not display - In the Aperture program, if i navigate to a project / folder and clicked on a thumb nail in the browser, I get a magenta / cyan screen showing in the main viewer panel with unsupported image format. ?
    This is my worst-case scenario ! - I have entrusted Aperture with all my digital images (all raw .NEF) images taken before 13th September 2006 are un accessible with camera RAW support 2.2 update installed !
    I have deleted (the 2.2 update) “from” System/Library/CoreServices/RawCamera.bundle and reinstall the RAW support 2.1.1 update.
    * NOW I can now see all my raw Nikon .NEF images and they are now all fully functional again *.
    Their is a problem with the Apple digital camera RAW support 2.2 update, it rendered the Aperture program useless to me for my older .NEF image/files (as above).
    This requires a fix ASAP
    Martin

    Thankfully, I wasn't affected by the issue given I'm currently with Canon. There have been Canon woes in the past though.
    On a side note, I never update anything until it has been out for a few weeks just to be sure. Because Aperture is such an integral component of my studio and business, I make sure everything always works before making any updates or changes - including upgrading cameras.
    I'm sure the next update will fix the magenta issues.
    Best,

  • Apple Digital Camera RAW Support 2.2. update

    After todays Apple Security Update 2008-007 the Apple Digital Camera RAW Support 2.2. update finally works correctly and the data can be aquired via card reader.
    Message was edited by: jdonath

    Lucky you jdonath....
    I have still have the problem that have been mentioned in a number of posts in the forum, and what I guess you are refering to. And I have tried the advices I have found in those posts. I must admit that I might not have found them all.
    The CF card on my Nikon D2Xs shows in finder, .nef files are there, but Aperture 2.1.1 don´t recognize my files only the card itself.
    I use a card reader-not transferring files directly from the camera. I have installed the latest security update and camera raw 2.2. I have tried to go back to version 2.1 of the raw converter with no luck. I have repaired permissions, both with Onyx and with the disk tool in OSX.
    Aperture opens when I put the CF card in the reader and it shows in the import option/drives window in Aperture, but the files are somewhere in outer space or at least hidden and unavailable for import.
    So for now my solution is to dump the files to a picture dump folder on my hard-drive and import them from there to one of the libraries I use.
    I have different libraries for work and private files in case someone wondered
    It does not make any difference which library I use the problem is persistent. This feels like unnecessary work and not a very satisfying sollution in my workflow.
    Yeah, yeah i use both belt and suspenders so the files are kept safe on an external drive as well. Manually copied of course... and btw i use a combo of referenced and managed files, but that should not make any difference. I have tried to alter that in the import options, with no apparent result of course.
    Can anyone give me a hint what could (still) be wrong or do I have to be moderately patient and wait till next sunrise (it is late autumn and dark in Norway this time of year) , when Apple sends out version 2.3 and make a prayer that they remember that some photographers are still back in the stone age when comes to cameraequipment... ( I wish someone gave me a D3)
    And just to make the confusion complete... It used to work BEFORE the security update last night...
    Cheers and my 2 cents

    You can get the camera raw 8.8 updater from here for photoshop cc 2014

    There is as of yet no update for lightroom 5
    http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2015/03/camera-raw-8-8-now-available.html
    You would need to convert the files to dngs first before lightroom would read them.

  • Confused over saving files in Bridge or Camera Raw CS4

    I'm a little confused the way Bridge and Camera Raw saves files that have been adjusted. For example, when I took a photo and just applied a crop to it, I clicked on "save image" in camera raw, set up a new folder and new file name. I clicked on ok expecting to see the uncropped photo in the original source folder. What I saw was the cropped photo under the original file name.
    Ultimately I found the original file by looking through explorer. I guess my question is, Is there a tutorial that explains the way Bridge/Camera Raw saves files?
    Appreciate the help

    The changes applied by Camera Raw are saved as metadata, a few lines of code added to the file or to a separate XML file. If you want to save the changes done by Camera Raw then simply click on Done, the Save button will save a copy, not the current changes back onto the original file.
    Check out the section on Camera Raw from the Help files:

  • Canon CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop CS4

    I'm using a Canon EOS 600D (aka EOS Kiss X5), Photoshop CS4 (ver 11.0.1) with Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    CR2 Raw files won't open in Photoshop, though the thumbnails are clearly visible and open in Windows Explorer.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Yes, absolutely all of the quality and dynamic range is retained in the DNG, because it is still raw data.
    Outside of upgrading to Photoshop CS5, which can open your files directly with Camera Raw 6.4.1, your only choice is the extra step of converting the .CR2 files to .DNG with the free DNG converter.
    While you'll get all the quality your Camera Raw 5.x converter can deliver, you should keep in mind the Camera Raw 6.x converter has an entirely new, additional "2010 process" for converting raw images, which (depending on your settings) can actually deliver a higher quality conversion than the one you're getting with Photoshop CS4.  I think it's worth the cost of the Photoshop upgrade, personally.

  • Camera Raw Files won't open into Photoshop CC

    1.  Open Adobe Bridge and double click on the NEF file I want.
    2.  File opens into Camera Raw
    3.  I make adjustments
    4.  I click on Open Object (whether or not smart object is checked in preferences)
    5.  Nothing happens...it just goes back to the thumbnail in Adobe Bridge

  • Camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

    camera raw 8.7 color and contrast shifts when file opened in ps 6

    Thanks ssprengel for the suggestions and running a side by side yourself. I went through all my settings and applied your suggestions and did a side by side each time. I even uninstalled the entire creative suite on my system then reinstalled and updated and I still get the same outcome. It was fine yesterday with the previous version of ACR. It seems like the updated version is not showing the image preview in any color space. When I switch the color space in the workflow options the histogram changes but it doesn't seem to affect the preview window. And yes the preview button was checked on it was just when I was using the screen grab tool in windows it took focus away from the application so that is why the settings appear grayed out. I have attached more screen grabs below illustrating all my settings. Also here is some system info if anyone out there has a similar setup and would be willing to test.

  • Hi to all, I use Windows 7, 64Bit and Lightroom 5.7, Camera Raw 8.7, when I develop or export files (mostly Raw Fils from Nikon D810) after 10 to 20 pictures my computer shuts down or I get a bluescreen. Please tell me why.

    Blue screen/Computer shuts down is almost always a hardware malfunction or a driver problem.
    Make sure your video driver is up to date.
    If it is, then the next suspect, in my mind, is overheating, make sure all of the fans in your CPU case are working properly.
