HT201070 Panasonic GX7 Raw files crash display

I installed 5.01 (on top of Mavericks and Aperture 3.4.5) but it has not given support for Panasonic GX7 .RW2 files.
In fact, coming anywhere near the files with Preview crashes the display, requiring a reboot, etc. Very nasty. Could someone advise?

As an update to this, I can report that Aperture 3.5 handles the raw files in question without incident, but the Preview is still behaving badly.
I have recently and happily installed Mavericks on a 2013 macbook Air, and the same raw files are OK both in Preview and Aperture. So I am looking at either: my 2008 iMac is too old, or not enough memory (4GB).
or Preview app is screwed up.
There is a suggested probe and possible fix for Preview from Linc Davis on this thread:

I will let you know how it goes if I get to it.

  • Still unable to view / process GX7 RAW files

    Despite recent updates Aperture still does not seem to display / process Panasonic GX7 RAW files. I'm using Aperture version 3.5.1 with Digital Camera RAW 5.2 - build 725.1 on a MacBook Pro Mid 2012 (OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)). Any thoughts / help appreciated.

    what is the difference between the two web announcements?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1706
    This document lists the cameras that have been added by that particular raw support update. All cameras should be included in the list that I pointed to. Your camera is also listed in the list of cameras supported by Mavericks:  OS X Mavericks: Supported digital camera RAW formats
    It is disconcerting, that the camera as vanished from the Aperture list. Hopefully it is only a slip of the pen.
    You could try to reinstall the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 5.01. Previously it helped to  register the raw support for your camera with the launch services database - perhaps this will also fix the problem for the GX7.
    See this post by Alan Roseman:
    This solved my questionRe: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish,
    but read the follow up posts (the lsregister command) as well, on how it is supposed to work and how to correct the typos   (there are blanks in the commands that need to be removed)
    I cannot test it, I have a different Lumix.

  • Download of latest Camera Raw to support Panasonic Lumix GX7 raw files

    I have downloaded the latest Camera Raw version for my Photoshop CS 5.1 as I have bought a new camera, Panasonic Lumix GX7.  Camera Raw still does not read these files in spite of the fact that the camera list shows that this camera is supported.  Please help. 

    According to Adobe’s list, you need at least ACR 8.2 to process GX7 raw files:

    According to this other list, you need at least CS6 to update to ACR 8.2:

    So you either need to upgrade to PS-CS6 or sign-up for a cloud subscription, or download the latest DNG Converter that works with whatever OS version you have, from here:

  • Why are Panasonic GX7 RAW photos not visible in Aperture but in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto?

    My Panasonic GX7 RAW photos seem to be visible in OS X Mavericks and iPhoto, but bizarrely not in Aperture (3.5.1).
    Does anyone know why this would be? Any solution greatly appreciated.
    I've been unable to mange a significant number of images for almost 7 months now due to Aperture's lack of GX7 RAW support and am seriously considering migrating to Lightroom 5. Aperture has been my workflow application of choice for the last 7 or 8 years, but I feel the current situation has become unacceptable and deeply disappointing . 

    That camera was supported in digital camera Raw 5.0.1 and Aperture 3.4.5 or later. As you say the files are supported in iPhoto it seems you have the right Raw file.
    Have you tried it with new imports in Aperture does it still fail? What if you reprocess the Raw files in Aperture, any change?

  • Panasonic Gh4 Raw file support

    Any idea as to when the Panasonic Gh4 Raw Files will be supported in Aperture.

    No, Apple does not release this kind of information in advance.
    There are three to four raw support releases per year, so it may take a few month, until you will be seeing support for that camera. The 4K video may be an added complication.
    G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8)
    You'll have to upgrade to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1, to be able to profit from new raw support.

  • Raw files not displayed in preview

    In Elements 10, are raw files STILL not displayed in preview in Windows 7?

    Thanks for your reply, Ken, but when I do the Get photos-From Files and folders thing Elements did the same thing it does for jpeg files but then I still can't see the raws. HOWEVER, this morning after reading your message I went back to Elements to get that message that Elements gave me after trying to get the raw files, so that I could quote it to you, and there were all the raw files that I had gotten and tried to view yesterday. So dawn breaks on Marblehead and I realize that maybe Elements has to be refreshed in order to see the raw files. Thanks Ken!

  • Lumix GX7 RAW files incompatible with Lightroom 4.4?

    Hello,
    I have used Lightroom 4.4 successfully with Lumix GF1 .RW2 files but I just discovered Lightroom 4.4 does not recognize Lumix GX7 .RW2 files.
    Do I need to upgrade to Lightroom 5? I checked for updates on 4.4 and I am up-to-date.
    Any advice would be helpful.

    The GX7 was first supported in Lightroom 5.2.

  • IPhoto update failed with my Panasonic GH1 raw file.

    I just installed the new package for Panasonic GH1 raw support for iPhoto 09 but it did not work. It did not recognize or allow an import of my raw file from the Panasonic.

    Did you run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions after installing the update? Also backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.

  • Support for Panasonic LX3 RAW files in Lightroom  (Windows Vista)

    I have just bought a Panasonic DMC LX3 and have upgraded to CS4 on my desktop machine and downloaded ACR 5.2 to support the Panasonic RAW files. I run Lightroom 2.1 on my laptop and Lightroom is unable to support these RAW files as yet. Will Lightroom be supporting the LX3, if so when and how will this support be provided? Will it be a RAW update (4.6 to 5.2, or whatever) or will I need a new version/release of Lightroom?
    Thank you, John Cross

  • Panasonic LX3 Raw files in 1:1 aspect rtio

    The new firmware for the Panasonic LX3 allows the selection of a 1:1 aspect ratio (Square) for both Raw (RW2) and JPEG files.  My Lightroom 2.5 will load the JPEG files, but  reports an error when I try to load the Raw files.  I am requesting that the next update be modified to allow processing to RAW (RW2) files taken in the 1:1 aspect ratio.   Thanks.

  • Critical need for Aperture to support new Panasonic Lumix RAW files (.RW2) anyone know an app that can handle this in the meantime?

    New Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ150 produces .RW2 RAW files, and we are dead in the water with Aperture.  Dying to see what this camera can do, but have to shoot jpgs for now.  Have tried to encourage Apple and Panasonic to get together:) 

    I don't understand this. I have GF2 but I assume RW2 files will be the same & they load into Aperture 3.2.1 & I can do everything with them. Just returned for 9 National Parks with 1000's & working on them no problem.
    Are you running latest Aperture?
    There are quite a few posts about no support in Aperture for RW2 files but I have been importing every RAW I shoot on Nikon & Lumix. I noticed one for the G3, but people in our camera club are inporting RAW in to Aperture from this camera. I will need to check if they do as I do.
    In the Import screen I have Both(as separate Masters) clicked, no probs

  • Support for Panasonic GF1 RAW files

    Does anyone have any suggestion on how to get Aperture to work with the GF1 Raw files - is it possible to convert them to dng format then import them?
    Or does Apple update Aperture regularly with support for new(ish) cameras.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have been using the Bibble 5 pro trial. It is worth looking at for Panasonic G1, GH1 users. Great feature set (lens distortion correction- though not necessary for the GH1, vignette correction, layering, chromatic aberration correction, etc...) and works with referenced files. Navigation within Aperture still slicker in my opinion and not sure if Bibble does the cloning thing....
    However, Bibble is light years faster than Aperture with adjustments. Browsing on Bibble is SLOWER than Aperture. (no scroll wheel flipping through preview images as far as I can tell...)

  • Panasonic GH2 RAW files go deep green with latest update

    I updated my machine yesterday for the RAW updates. There is an issue here as far as I can tell with the Panasonic GH2 precessing. GH2 RAW files thumbnails look fine but Aperture, iPhoto and Preview all show a dark deep green image. Silkypix shows the correct image from the same file.
    Is anyone else seeing this?

    Same issue here. Have posted to Aperture feedback and included a link to an example. I was shooting raw + jpeg until the camera became supported, so it's very blatant the raw processing isn't working. I tried using a range of camera settings to see if some of the intelligent DR features were tripping it up, but always the same result, even with all the advanced features all turned off.
    What would be interesting is to hear if anyone is NOT experiencing this problem with GH2 raws.
    Here's a link to the sample:
