Lightroom Camera Raw Plug-in won't work with Panasonic RW2

I've just upgraded to Lightroom 5.7 (from 4) essentially to access the RW2 RAW files from my new Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 (DMC-TZ70) as this camera is supposed to be supported by the camera raw plug-in (link).
Basically I got fed up of messing with the DNG converter and wanted inbuilt support for these files.
However having installed 5, upgraded to 5.7 (& rebooted) it still won’t read these RW2 files - the import tells me that the RW2 format is not supported.
According to the About info I've got Lightroom 5.7 and Camera Raw 8.7, installed. However I have download the camera raw plug-in 8.8 installer (link), copied it to the Lightroom directory and run it, but it's still saying Camera Raw 8.7 in the About screen and I still can’t access these files.
What am I doing wrong?

The link you posted had all the details to indicate that your camera is not currently supported by any release of Lightroom. It is only currently supported by Camera Raw version 8.8 which is a plug-in that cannot be used by Lightroom (and only by Photoshop). Adobe's free DNG Converter can be used to convert your RW2 files to DNG which is supported by any Lightroom release. Download it here:
Win: Adobe DNG Converter
Mac: Adobe DNG Converter

Camera Raw Plug-in doesn't work

I have tried numerous times to install the latest camera raw plug in i have photoshop cs5 but towards end of downloading the plugin it fails can anyone help?
photoshop also states : 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.
So i went to adobe to download the plugin but it doesn't work.

That may be the problem yes it offers a few raw formats ill list them :
raw only
raw and L
S raw and M
i am using jpeg mode and raw mode so the files are Cr2 would that be my problem does it have to be purely raw files only?

Have OMD EM5, need Camera Raw and PS Elements that work with this camer

I've been using PS Elements 9 on a MAC. Can't use RAW. Know I need a plug-in. If I upgrade to PS 12, how do I find out what Camera Raw I need? What is compatible with this camera (OMD EM5)?

Yes, you need at least PSE 11, but PSE 12 should work just fine. Download the trial and check it out.
Here's a list of the minimum versions of ACR for each camera model:

PSE 12 comes with ACR 8 and can be updated to 8.5.

Camera Raw 5.7 doesn't work with MAC Elements 6

RAW 5.7 doesn't work on Elements 6.
5.6 works fine, placing the plugin in the /PLUG-INS/CS3/FILE FORMATS and starting Elements 6 and trying to open a raw file says
Unable to use camera raw plugin
It is not compatible with this version of Photoshop Elements
I have read the 5.7 raw read-me and it definitely says that it is compatible with MAC Elements 6 could somebody confirm this?

Thank you, another case of big corporations screwing over the little guy. You want the latest update - you have to upgrade your complete software package. Wouldn't it be nice if they made the plugin compatible with the products as stated in their documentation and then posted a note saying that further updates will not be compatible?
After all, windows users got a version 7, us poor MAC users didn't!
Anyway thanks for the answers.

Plug-ins won't work with aperture 3.5.1

Just updated to aperture 3.5.1 and now none of my plug-ins won't work what can I do to fix this problem. Any help woud be great.

How do they not work, error message, crash, etc?
What plugin and want Aperture and OS versions did you upgrade from?
In general if after an upgrade you have a problem like this you should check the developer sites for updated plugins designed to work with the new version of OS and Aperture.

Can't open canon g16 raw files. I have updated to Adobe camera raw 8.2 and am working with PS CS6.

Here is my issue, I can't open the Raw files from my new Canon G16. I have run all the Photoshop updates and even installed the Camera raw 8.2 update but still cannot open my raw files. The will open in Canons digital photo professional program so I know they are not broken files. I have even installed the DNG converter and they will not even open with that. What am I doing wrong? I bought this camera specifically for the ability to shoot in raw. My canon 60d raw files work fine.

Why on Earth did you upgrade only to ACR 8.2 ?
The current version of ACR is ACR 8.4. You should ALWAYS update to the latest version. Once a camera model is supported, it will be supported in all subsequent releases of ACR.
Beside new camera support, each ACR update contains any number of unannounced, unheralded bug fixes, improvements and enhancements.
What is the exact version of your OS and of your Photoshop CS6? For instance, if you're on a Mac, you should be running Photoshop CS6 13.0.6. I can't remember offhand what the latest version for CS6 is.
Did you install ACR correctly. ACR 8.2 should work for your camera (but update ACR anyway). What version shows up when yo go to About Plug-in… > Camera Raw.
You of course need to relaunch Photoshop, maybe even reboot your machine, and then Purge the Cache in Bridge.
Next time you ask a question, please give sensible, complete and detailed information from the beginning:

Camera Raw 6.7 installation not working with Photoshop CS5.1

I have been trying to upgrade Camera Raw to 6.7 on my windows 7(32) machine running CS5.1.
It will not update via Help>Update (indicates download problem) or manually using the downloaded file and AdobePatchInstaller.exe (indicates "an error installing the update")
I have tried Adobe support adviser but this was of little help.
Also tried running Photoshop as Administrator.
Can anyone help?

I don't know why your Help - Updates feature shouldn't be working; it worked for me, and it would disturb me if it didn't work, but to jump to the solution to your issue, you should be able to install the update manually by carefully following the instructions that go with the download you can find here:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5373
Make sure you unzip the contents of the file to a folder on your computer before running the installer.

Camera raw update 3.2 create issues with panasonic square LX3 raw

Hi everybody,
since I've installed the last camera raw update(ie 3.2), my square raw from my panasonic LX3 are not recognised anymore by snow leopard, I can't even get a preview on any of my square raw.
As it was working perfectly before this update, is there a way to remove this update?
Can you reproduce this issue?
thanks for your attention

I have the Leica D Lux 4 and it does the same thing with my camera using 1:1 aspect ratio. I've since rolled the raw update back to version 3 and all is normal again. If you read this thread, it explains how to roll back the raw update.

CS2 camera raw plug-in no longer working

Issue description
Summary: I currently have CS2 installed on my Dell desktop. In September, I noticed that I could no longer open raw files and I looked on the Adobe site, found the plug-in, downloaded it and all was well.
Just the other day I went to use more raw files and this is the message that I'm receiving:
"Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document"
This is the same message that I had received in September before downloading the plug-in.
I have been back on the site, have downloaded the CS2 security update, the plug-in (as the number seemed to have changed from 3.5 to 3.7), and the DNG converter and nothing is working.
If anyone knows what I can do, I would be very grateful...

> Should I be looking for the earliest version of the plug-in and not the latest?
Of course not! That would be the ultimate nonsense.
You should be looking for the latest one that will run with your version of Photoshop: 2.4 for CS, 3.7 for CS2, 4.6 for CS3 and 5.2 for CS4.
Then look up in the tech note whether the camera is supported by the latest version of ACR that can run with your older version of ACR.
If you had been able to open raw files from a D300 in ACR it means you have to have had a Nikon plug-in installed, and it was the Nikon plug-in you were using without realizing it.
You will
NEVER
be able to open raw D300 files directly in CS2 and ACR 3.7. You must use the DNG Converter as Jim explains in #5 until you upgrade to the current version.
The capabilities of ACR 5.2, which only runs in CS4, are light years ahead of your ancient version 3.7. The upgrade to CS4 should be a no brainer for you.

Snow Leopard Quicktime plug-in won't work with VR movie

I'm trying to view a ship stateroom on royal caribbean's site (just dreaming....)
Here's the url:
http://www.royalcaribbean.com/multimedia/popup/cabin.do?br=R&cabincls=B&cabinTyp e=DO&shipCode=EX&popuptype=virtualTour&shipName=Explorer+Of+The+Seas
When I try it on my intel laptop under os 10.6.8, safari 5.1.7, quicktime plug-in 7.6.6, I get a bunch of gobbledygook on the screen. If I try it with firefox, I get a "missing plug-in" message but it's unable to find the required plug-in.
However, if I try it on my good old ppc imac, under os 10.4.11, safari 4.1.3, quicktime plug-in 7.6.4, it works perfectly.
Anyone have any good ideas? It couldn't be that the newer software is incompatible with older sites? That'd be bad. I hope there's an easy solution to this.
Thanks!

Thanks, but it didn't work for me. I did click on your link (a bit different from the one I'd posted) and got what appeared to be a weird text file. Since it was supposed to be a movie, I saved it with .mov extension and, sure enough, it played fine in quicktime player. However, safari did not recognize it as a movie to be played with the quicktime plugin. Weird.

Camera RAW plug-in not working

Hi,
I recently downloaded the Camera RAW 5.6 update for Elements 8 but even after following the instructions carefully and verfigying that the plug was added I cannot open a RAW file in photoshop. I am not sure what the problem and am hoping someone with more experience in this area can help me.
Help?
Thanks,
Cara

Yes, we didn't start supporting the D3100 until the 6.3 version of the camera raw plug-in (Source: Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras). This version of the camera raw plug-in doesn't work with Photoshop Elements 8 (Source: Camera Raw-compatible Adobe applications). In order to natively support the D3100, you'd need Photoshop Elements 9 or later (10 is the current version). The other option is to convert your raw NEF files to DNG (a universal raw format) by using the DNG Converter: Mac|Windows.

I cannot access Adobe Camera Raw Plug-in although it's listed in CS6 "PHOTOSHOP" menu along with my other plug ins. And I can't find it on my iMAC (10.9.5)

In CS6, how do I access the Adobe Camera Raw plug in that's listed with my other (easily accessible) plug ins: I can't find it through "automate", or "Filter" or "extensions".. I am on iMAC 10.9.5 (Mavericks)

I believe camera raw as a filter is CC only. You can access camera raw by selecting a raw, tiff or jpg image from your drive. Raw is the only one that will open by default. You must tell camera raw to open tiff and jpg in the preferences.
You can also use file>open or file>place then specify camera raw as file type. In this case it will open any of the three formats without changing the preferences.
Once the image is in Photoshop, it should be a smart object if you choose open as object instead of open as image in camera raw. As a smart object, you can double click on the thumbnail in the layers panel. This will open camera raw with that image.

If I'm in LIghtroom 5, and try to Edit in Photoshop CS6, I always get the following message: "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 8.6 for full compatibility." But I have updated to 8.6 and have no remaining updates. How can I fix this?
If I click "Open Anyway" or "Render using Lightroom", I get the following message:
"Adobe Photoshop CS6 cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure Adobe Photoshop CS6 works with this version of OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and OS X."
Please tell me what to do so I can edit from Lightroom to Photoshop.

In Photoshop, if you choose Help - About Plug-in... - Camera Raw, does it say 8.6?
Seems to me there was some hiccup they found in the update process, which prompted this:
Camera Raw updates cannot be applied
I honestly don't know if the problem could apply to 8.6 as well, which is why I asked you to check to make very sure you really got it.

Invoking Photoshop CS5 from Lightroom 4 asks for Camera Raw Plug-in 7.0

I have just downloaded and installed Adobe Lightroom 4.0. When I try to invoke "Photo / Edit in Photoshop CS 5.1" I get the warning "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 7.0 for full compatibility. Please update the camera raw plug-in using the update tool available in the Photoshop help menu". However, the update function in Photoshop CS5.1 says that there are no updates available and searching adobe.com I can find no references to Camera Raw plug-in 7.0. What is one to do? Thanks.

No, the warning is not the issue. As I've said, "supported cameras" are not the problem.
I do initial processing on my images, then using Lightroom CMD E push them to Photoshop for further editing. The message says "7.0 may be required for full compatibility" should I ignore that warning and click "Open Anyway" because there really aren't any compatibility issues?
LR 4 Develop module is much different than LR 3, just as CS5 version of ACR is different than what I've seen in the CS6 beta. My assumption is there would be compatibility issues - as the warning says - when using LR4's develop engine then passing it on to CS5. I don't use ACR in Photoshop since I use Lightroom, I use Photoshop for detailed image editing in conjunction with the Nik Software selective tool run as a window within Photoshop.
So how about a clear answer: Just click "Open Anyway" and everything will work great? When I first work on an image in LR4, then further edit it in Photoshop CS5 with ACR 6.7 installed, Save and Close the image in Photoshop sending it back to Lightroom it will all work just like yesterday when I did all that in Lightroom 3 without any error messages?
