Iphoto and panasonic lumix dmc-fz28 raw (.rw2) files support

It appears that iphoto or max osx does not currently support the panasonic lumix dmc-fz28's raw format (.rw2). Is this true? If so, does anyone know when support will be available? If it is supported today, how do you make it work?

Since even the most recent updates to iPhoto do not contain DMC-FZ28 importers for RAW, I use the free and EXCELLENT +RAW Photo Processor+ ( http://www.raw-photo-processor.com ).
For a donation (I gave $10) it will add the feature to open the converted image into the program of your choice. Of course I use iPhoto, which it automatically launches and then imports the image to it's database. Since it also has both batch capability and the ability to pick the image next to the last RAW image in the directory of your previous photo, it's great for importing large numbers of RAW images into iPhoto.
And the control it gives over your import is incredible, certainly on par with Adobe RAW.
I actually found the settings I like best and saved them as a profile for my camera (it works automatically for all Lumix cameras, but you can tweak them quite finely).
Another nice thing about this little app is it is both multicore and multiprocessor savvy. Since it allows you to pick apps to open the imported images in, there's no limit to the the programs you can chose to add to your drop-down list.
It solved the problem for me!

  • Panasonic lumix dmc-fz28?

    will panasonic lumix dmc-fz28 raw file (.rw2) processing be added to acr anytime soon?

    You might want to read through this thread:
    Richard Earney, "LR2 Does Not Support .rw2 RAW File" #1, 12 Aug 2008 9:41 pm
    Apparently Adobe and Panasonic are trying to work through some "issues".
    ACR updates generally come out quarterly so you can always hope.
    Also just to let you know, Adobe team members and frequent posters in this forum can get a little grumpy with people who ask about when their camera will be supported in ACR. From the customer side it is a little hard to understand the attitude but from their side I guess it is a little like the kids in the backseat asking "are we there yet" for the 50th time. Just to prepare you a bit.

  • HT4757 Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?

    Is there ever going to be RAW compatibility with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 added to Aperture 3?
    It's a good camera which I think has been overlooked in this area?
    Any advice you good people?

    Hello,
    I don't know when but you can send a message to Apple so they can add that in a next update (not 100% sure but you can try).

  • How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

    How can i use Nikon D 7100 and Panasonic Lumix DMC-LF1 with Photoshop CS 5 Camera Raw?

    The one needs 7.4 (or better), the other 8.1, so Photoshop CS5 with ACR6 is not up to the task.
    The free DNG Converter could be used to convert the RAW images to DNG which your version of ACR should be able to process.

  • Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 RAW

    Anyone know the right hack to the raw.plist file, and how to apply it properly in order to get FZ50's RAW files to work with Aperture?
    I've tried what I found for the LX1 and what I've learned of making other cameras work. But, the closest I've come is to get my pictures to open and look HORRIBLY distorted.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    It doesn't matter where, but I'd recommend putting it near the entry you're using. So, for example:
    <key>Panasonic-DMC-FZ50</key> <string>Panasonic-DMC-LC1</string> <!-- map DMC-FZ50 to DMC-LC1 -->
    Put that right above the DMC-LC1, for example (just like the Leica Digilux 2 entry is). The format of the key entry is "Camera Make"-"Camera Model" from the EXIF.
    Also note the color adjustment info won't match up exactly for your camera, so you might want to try the different supported Panasonic models to see what looks best (before the 10.4.9 update the LC1 was the only model supported).
    And finally, make sure and backup your Raw.plist in case something goes horribly wrong.

  • Does Aperture support RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera?

    Please can anyone let me know whether Aperture supports RAW files from a Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ27 camera? The Apple Aperture site lists support for DMC-F35 and other later cameras but does not allow a search for others.
    Many thanks.
    John

    Only the cameras on this list are supported:  Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    Th FZ27 is not.
    For my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 I am using Adobe's free DNG Coverter to convert the RAW files to DNG. It does not always work, but for most of the RW2 files I can work in Aperture this way. The stubborn files I convert to TIFF.

  • Opening RAW photos from Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera

    I am trying to open without success RAW photos from my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000 camera after downloading and installing Camera Raw 8.6.  What is my problem?

    Can you upload one of these raw files that don't work for you to a place like www.dropbox.com and post public download link to it?  Either something is wrong/different with the files from your camera or something is wrong with the software on your computer.  Being able to test a file on someone else's computer would help narrow down which.
    FWIW, I can open a sample FZ1000 rw2 file in PS-CC2014/ACR 8.6 from here:

    You might try downloading this specific image and see if it works for you or not.

  • Camera Raw update for Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000

    Hi.
    I have Elements 11 and need to update it to open .raw files shot with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000. I can't find the link where I can download the camera raw update.
    Can you please help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The FZ1000 requires camera raw 8.6 which is NOT compatible with PSE 11.
    You will need to upgrade to PSE 13 or use the DNG converter.

  • Oh no- new update and still no support for my panasonic lumix dmc-lx2-

    sorry, but i was writing several support-mails and hoped so much, that this new camera could be supported. no way.
    how can it be, that the »Panasonic Lumix DMC-L1« is supported, but the dmc-lx2 not? are the raws different?
    i don't get it…

    Read the slightly newer topic by Pat Gilmour "Lumix DMC-LX1 RAW......" and you can see it is feasible, if not convenient. Note that for the LX2 you have to follow the instructions for the LX1 but write LX2 instead. It works a beauty for me

  • IPhoto does not import HD video/MTS files for Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5.

    Hello, everyone. I'm using iPhoto '11 on an iMac i7. I recently bought the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX5, which records HD video (AVCHD Lite). When I insert the memory card into my iMac, it recognizes and imports all photos. However, the videos are left on the memory card, and I cannot even view them in iPhoto. When looking directly in the memory card, I can see the videos (they are MTS files), but nothing will play them. Is there other software I must install to be able to view/edit these video files. I'd like to see them in iPhoto, and then edit them in iMovie like I was able to with my standard definition camera. Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have the same camera as you. You can import the files, but you have to convert them manually first, witch takes a couple of secounds.
    1. Download and install the automator script from this blog and put it in your dock http://blog.sharkus.com/2010/04/avchd-lite-iphoto-importing.html
    2. locate the folder /Private/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM on your memory card
    3. Drag your desired videofile (e.g. 000001.mts) on the automator script you put in your dock in step 1.
    4. whait (a couple of secounds, depending file size)
    5. Drag your new videofile (e.g. 000001.mts.m4v) to iphoto
    6. Finished
    Do not try to convert more than two files a once, then the script doesn't work properly.
    I hope apple will include support for mts-files very very soon!!

  • HT201071 Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70/72 RAW images?

    I have Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70/72, which doesn't figure on the list of supported cameras. What can I do with my RAW images?

    If you purchase Lightroom in a store the installation will probably give you Lightroom 5.0. Then you will be prompted that there is an update available. When you choose to update it will update you to Lightroom 5.7.1, which is the current version. There will be no charge for that update or any other additional updates that might come to Lightroom 5.
    If you are purchasing from Adobe online then you will probably be sent a link to the current version. Your other option would be to download the trial version and install it. Then just use your serial number from your purchase to activate the trial version.

  • Since downloading Iphoto 11, we now cannot import photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC TZ-15 camera. Any ideas out there as to why this is occuring. I can still import them onto my laptop which is running Iphoto9

    Since downloading Iphoto 11 onto our desktop computer we now cannot import the photos from our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ15 into Iphoto. However I can import them from the camera onto my Macbook which is still running Iphoto 9.
    When I connect the camera and IPhoto loads, the spinning wheel just keeps on spinning and nothing happens, I have to Force Quit Iphoto to get out of the program. Totally frustrated, it would seem that it is an Iphoto 11 software problem.  Any suggestions out there?

    Terence,
    not sure what happens here right now, I didn't mean to be offensive. So please let's stay calm. There are some issues with Panasonics described in these threads, and they do sound similar to the issue I'm facing (somewhat hard to say, as a) these people do not use exactly the same camera as I do and b) the descriptions of their problems are not very detailed). I would retract the term "a LOT of issues". Sorry.
    Back in September I described my issue here
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3308591?start=0&tstart=0
    but then the discussion there stopped. Since we were still able to import images manually into iPhoto (and took care of leaving out already imported pictures ourselves), we could live with this as a workaround.
    Since everything worked well recently on my machine with the latest iPhoto version, I decided to upgrade iPhoto on my wife's Mac (where the import problems occured) from '09 to latest '11 (9.2.1). However, after that iPhoto still could not import from the Panasonic's SD card (rotating ball when inserting the card reader, and rotating ball after starting up iPhoto afterwards even w/o card reader plugged in, until the next reboot). So I re-built iPhoto's database (32000 images - 12 hours). Didn't help either. It worked however with a Casio Z-1000's SD card. Thus I re-formatted the Panasonic card yesterday and it seems to work since then.
    My point is that I consider it weird that a SD card works with one Mac and doesn't work with another, although both use the same version of OS X and iPhoto. And, I'm somewhat doubtfull that re-formatting the card will  solve this issue permanently. I believe that I tried to re-format the card already back in September, when I dealt with the issue for the first time, but I have no prove of that.
    I will keep an eye on it and will report here if the problem comes up again.
    Thank you for your help.
    Best wishes,
    Thomas.
