CS4 raw support for Lumix LX5 RW2 files

It appears that the new Camera Raw Adapter 6.2 that supports the new Lumix LX5 raw files is not compatible with Photoshop CS4.  Does this mean I will never be able to process LX5 raw files with CS4?

Adobe provides backwards compatibility in CS2, CS3 and CS4 for new cameras through the FREE DNG Converter:
Win: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4803
Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4802
There are other benefits to using DNG besides backward compatibility if you haven’t explored those:
The metadata, keywords and RAW adjustments are stored in the file – along with a processed preview of the image. This makes the file portable and keeps your metadata safe and secure.
DNG files are smaller than the original RAW file which will save you disk space and time in the long run.
DNG is an openly specified file format which means the file format isn’t going away. So if you use another RAW processor that supports DNG, you don’t have to worry about compatibility or portability of your metadata.

  • RAW support for Lumix DMC LX2

    RAW support for Lumix DMC LX2--is this available? coming? Now that I have purchased Aperture and downloaded 1.5, am sad to find that I still must process RAW for my camera in Photoshop.
    Thoughts? Help?

    Did you try to first convert your RAW file into a DNG file (using Adobe DNG converter) and then import it in your Aperture library?
    I'm planning to buy an LX2 as an everyday camera, and I have the same issue.
    If you find a solution please tell me.

  • Aperture update 2.1.3 still no RAW support for Lumix G1

    Once again and after posting to Apple development we still have no RAW support for the Panasonic Lumix G1. How much longer Apple...!

    RAW support updates are separate from Aperture updates..
    Maybe with 10.5.7... or another RAW compatibility update sometime.. hopefuly soon.

  • 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.

  • RAW support for Lumix GX1?

    When will Aperture start supporting RAW files from Panasonic Lumix GX1? Do I really have to switch to Lightroom?

    I think the Aperture RAW releases are consistently shoddy versus Adobe.  And Adobe is not a company people tend to hype.
    I've had a GX1 since before Christmas, and about 10 weeks later RAW suuport is still not available in Aperture while it has been in Adobe Camera Raw for some time.  Apple consistently drags the chain on getting RAW updates out. 
    No sense blaming the camera manufacturer.  It's unlikely they rush details to Adobe and sit back for a few months before letting Apple know.
    I paid about $250 for Aperture in Australia and soon after it was being sold for around $80.  Not a happy experience.  Now with Lightroom 4 floating around, I think I'll be switching soon.
    It's strange how Apple offers such a great customer experience and such excellent products across most of the company, while little niches like Aperture and Filemaker seem to so lag behind.

  • RAW Support for Sigma Merrill and Sony RX-1

    When does Adobe expect to be able to provide RAW support for the Sigma X3F files produced by the DPxMs and the SD-1/SD-1M?  I am also interested in RAW support for the soon to be released Sony RX-1 Cybershot FF camera.  Thank you for the time and response.

    Thanks for the information.  As you can probably tell I haven't posted here before.  It's where Adobe's FAQ section sent me to "Ask a Question."  Therefore, I thought it was the place Adobe looked to for feedback on what customers wanted.  I'm not sure why future camera support should be such a secret.  In the case of the RX-1, I suspect they will have it fairly quickly as there will be many phtographer's asking for it.  In the case of the Sigma's, I suspect that since the cameras have been out for a while now that they are waiting to see how much demand there is for support.  The DPxMs are receiving very good reviews for their image quality and it is well deserved in my opinion.  I haven't seen the output from any camera that can match it for detail below the Nikon d800 or the Canon 5D MK III and even then it is very close at ISO 100-200.  I was surprised at how good 800 ISO can look with these cameras when the tif file is processed in LR 4.2.  A comparison of the .jpg processed for best image and the .tif processed for best image in LR 4.2 both at 50%.  The .tif cleans up very nicely while preserving significant detail.

  • HT201070 there is no camera raw support for Leaf Aptus-II 8? I need to be able to read MOS files

    there is no camera raw support for Leaf Aptus-II 8? I need to be able to read MOS files

    OS X Mountain Lion: Supported digital camera RAW formats seems to indicate that you are correct.
    Are you are trying to provide  Apple - Aperture - Feedback or Apple - iPhoto - Feedback?
    If so, use you can send direct feedback via the above link(s).  You will not likely get a direct response, but you can be certain that the responsible Apple people  will see your input for consideration in future product development.
    If you seek a solution rather than to offer feedback, or until Apple supports your needs within the Mac OS, check whether Mamiya's Leaf RAW converter 1.2.6 for Mac meets your needs.

  • Is there Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii?

    I need Camera RAW support for Lightroom 4.4 and Canon 7D Mark ii.  Is there a Camera RAW version for me? 

    Thanks for your help.  I checked out DNG on YouTube and understand more
    about it.  I downloaded the DNG converter and transferred in files from my
    camera.  Then I imported into Lightroom.  It works!   Thanks again.

  • Camera Raw Support for Canon 7D MkII

    Just trying to get some idea if I should spend the $99.00 to buy Aperture from the Apple Store.  This might sound a little over the top, but the work flow I miss by not having RAW support in Lightroom is worth the expense of buying Aperture.
    I do find it very disappointing that Adobe have not as yet provided support for the new Canon 7D MkII.  This will be a VERY popular camera.
    More importantly I find this tardiness on Adobe's part very disappointing because they market CC buy saying "You will always have up to date software".  When you consider Apple and Google Picasa have both already supported the Canon 7D MkII.  I might add they both had support for the camera within days of it's release on 31 of Oct.
    So after my little rant.
    Can anybody from Adobe advise when we will see Camera Raw support the new Canon 7DMkII?
    Even if it is in Beta form I would be very happy to be a Beta tester.  I have very extensive experience in testing software and would be prepared to do structured Beta testing.  I would be very happy if someone from Adobe Labs would contact me for the purpose of Beta testing Camera Raw support for the 7D MkII.
    Kind Regards
    Tom Croll

    Thanks ssprengel, you have clearly put into words what is currently reality at Adobe, and confirmed my suspicion of Aperture being a dead product.  Although Google's Picasa is not dead.
    I do realize Adobe Products are very well developed and software does take time to perfect before it gets released.  I have been in the software development game for 35 years
    But Camera RAW is an adjunct to Lightroom, Photoshop, Premier Pro etc.  As such the support for new camera models should be a relatively simple exercise and should not be held up by other R&D on the products that Camera Raw plugs into.  I believe they have in the past released updates to Camera Raw that essentially was just for new camera models.  I do realize I could be wrong on this point, but I fail to see why they can't achieve this outcome.
    Also, as I said Adobe Market Creative Cloud membership saying you will always be up to date. Or words to that effect.
    To have an Adobe support person get upset because he has a large number of people pestering Adobe, and not him personally, trying to get ans answer as to the timing of the release of support for a new camera model, quite frankly is totally unacceptable.  Not acceptable to the customers and not acceptable to the poor support person who has to handle disgruntled customers due to poor planning on Adobe's part.
    In my original post I made a very serious offer to do Beta Testing on support for the Canon 7DMkII Raw files.  But when i last checked with Adobe Labs the current Beta does not include support for this camera.
    There maybe extenuating circumstances around the timely supply of this support.  Like when did Canon provide the Specs for the 7D MkII and are those specs so different from other currently supported models.   Even some feedback as to what the problem is, would help us understand.
    I hope I have expressed my thoughts objectively and hope this discussion stream will get to management at Adobe.  In fact I am very inclined to ensure it does get to senior management.  I don't want to start writing a personal letter to the Chairman of Adobe's Board, but sometimes things do need a shake up.
    Kind Regards

  • RAW support for Olympus E-5

    I upgraded my E-510 to an E-5 last month (the E-5 was only released in November) and discovered that I can't process my RAW files in CS5.  Does anyone know when, or how long it will be before, RAW support for the camera will be available?
    Yes, I know I can use the Olymus software to process the files, but I prefer PhotoShop.

    You might get an answer in the Camera Raw forum.

  • 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:

  • Raw Support for Panasonic LX-5

    In trying to keep aware of when raw support might be added for my 2 month old LX-5 I came across an update that someone had referenced from January of this year that added raw support for the LX-5 and some other cameras, when I tried to download it my computer said the latest update on my computer was newer than that. Does that mean I should already have it? If not does anyone know when it will be added? When I first took pictures with my camera I had images saved in raw and j-peg and i photo only recognized the j peg formatted pictures. The j pegs are beautiful but I would like to experiment with raw.

    I reply now only to validate my ignorance..
    I think what happened is the update that added the lx-5 raw support came out a couple weeks after I got the camera, so I tried it initially and was not able to import raw files and gave up and went to j peg. I tried again this morning after posting, and have been happily dealing with raw files all morning.
    Love the camera and am glad i photo will allow me to realize all that it can do!

  • Camera Raw support for new Nikon D810

    Hi, could you please advise when we can expect to see camera raw support for the new nikon D810.
    Thanks

    Adriana – I installed the download from the link in the 7/27 post and was able to convert my NEF files to DNG format from my new D810 camera, but could not view/edit the NEF-smalls. When I saw your latest post I used your link to go to that download and noticed that in the description it mentioned that the issues with the D810 NEF-small have been resolved.  I deleted/emptied trash of the 7/27 download and re-installed the one mentioned from your link – although they were both identical in file size and version: 8.6 – hmm?  I tried the converter – but nothing new was converted (I presume because all had already been converted before?).  However, CS6 is still not able to open/edit neither the NEF-small file formats, nor the DNG created from it.  I am thinking maybe I am missing a step, because when I select properties for Camera Raw in CS6, the version is 8.5.0.236 – is that ok (my CS6 version is 13.0.6 – and no other updates appear available)? I only downloaded the DNGConverter_8_6.dmg; installed the .pkg – did I forget a step? Thanks for your help!

  • RAW support for Canon SX-50

    I use Photoshop Elements 10 and I have a Canon SX-50 camera. When is Adobe going to add RAW support for the Canon SX-50?

    You need to upgrade to PSE11 as PSE10 will not get updated. Or use canon DPP to convert CR2 to tiff and then use the tiff files in PSE10. But you will find PSE11 has a much better raw engine, notably for adjusting highlights and shadows.
