Lumix Raw Files

I have just purchased a Lumix DMC LX3 camera. Great camera, but the raw files are not yet supported by Lightroom 2 or Camera Raw. Any way around this?

Not until the next update of Lightroom. Since Photokina is round the corner, the crystal ball would suggest an update after (to cater for the cameras released there).

Lumix raw files are showing horrible green cast and not option

Hi, since upgrading Aperture to the current version, my new Pictures when shown the preview are ok, however when clicking on them they change to a horrible green. My files are RAW (.RW2) from a Panasonic Lumix GX1. Other thing, when checking in Adjustments, the RAW Fine Tuning Adjustment is greyed.
The ones from my Nikon D800 are good, that means, is not a general problem.

What is your MacOS X version? Your camera should be supported by MacOS X 10.7.4 or later, but your signature says 10.7.2?
If you have MacOS 10.7.4 or later, but Aperture does not recognize your camera, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

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

Lumix G3 raw files?

When will Aperture support Panasonic Lumix raw files?

I guess it depends on which specific camera you are talking about. Aperture does support Panasonic Lumix files. Is your camera in this list?

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

Aperture library can't link the RAW files.

I am pretty much pulling my hair out on this. I setup Aperture so all files are collected and held into the APlibrary files.
My Aperture library also resigned on an external drive. One day I realized that I needed to reformat the drive so I copied the Aperture Library off onto another drive. When I went to choose the new Library which was the backup, all raw files couldn't be found. At first it was unrecognized file error, and now it just shows the jpg.
I ran Aperture holding the keycombos to fix permissions, and do a rebuild of the Library. What that did was make it so I wouldn't get an error but it replaced everything with the JPGs and no raw files to be found.
Next I renamed the aplibrary file to .foo I opened it up as a directory and then started to rename the project folders so I could open those. All of the NEF (RAW) files are there intact which is great, but I need to connect everything so I still have the Raw files with all color adjustments.
If anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be great. I don't know what else I can do.
Thanks!

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - no joy. Any ideas please?

I can no longer import raw files from my Panasonic Lumix LX5 into Aperture 3.3.2 - raw files from my other Canon cameras are fine. Am still running Lion (10.7.4) - NOT Mountain Lion. Tried all available software updates - all up to date apparently but still no joy. OS X Lion shows the LX5 as a supported file format. I dont want to have to upgrade to Mountain Lion just to see if this solves the problem. Any ideas please.

Since when did this happen? Directly after you upgraded to Aperture 3.3.2?
If it happened directly after the upgrade the problem may be, that the raw support for your camera got lost. For some posters it helped to register the raw support again, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
If this does not help, you may need to reinstall Lion to bring back the raw support.
But if the problem occured independent of a new installation, ypu may have a problem with your camera or the card you are using. Have you tried to use a different card or to reformat the card in the camera?

Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files support in Lightroom 4

http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2014/07/camera-raw-8-6-and-dng-converter-8-6-now-a vailable.html
The above says that Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 RAW files are supported in camera raw 8.6. I specifically checked before buying the camera. Everything I have ever read on the Adobe website for some 3+ years said that if a file in supported in Adobe Camera RAW, it is also supported in Lightroom. Particularly, the above URL did NOT give any warning about the FZ10000 RAW files NOT being supported in Lightroom 4. I went ahead and purchased the FZ1000, only to find I'm now having problem with Lightroom 4 not recognising the RAW files at all. I'm really annoyed, as I was so careful to check the Adobe website first. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH CAMERA RAW AND LIGHTROOM?????

I do appreciate the many RAW file formats being created by the camera manufacturers, as I have had varying cameras with the varying formats, and so am very aware of the whole business of making sure how those formats will fit into my software. And, as already stated, appreciate Adobe's efforts to deal with all those formats.
This whole exercise has been upsetting, and there has been some good advice and info provided in this discussion.
And unfortunately, some input that has been a little too technical and not particularly helpful. I feel that some of the input was a little too critical and didn't recognise that maybe some of us aren't so are highly involved and knowledgeable in Adobe products and the technicalities of how the software works, dot versioning of software, executable coding etc. because we don't need to, and shouldn't have to. I have bothered to learn Lightroom well in terms of its functionality including matters raised by you (eg making LRoom edits visible in other software, knowing that LR is not making changes to the actual files, rather they are in sidecar or xmp files etc.). I have bothered to learn a reasonable amount of computer-related info to understand things in plain English terms, such as "to have PShop and LRoom to recognise my RAW files, I need to have ACR. To have them run on my PC, they must be compatible with Windows operating system version xxx. For many people, this level of knowledge should be enough.
I have NOT said I expect Adobe to get advance copies of file formats from manufacturers; I have NOT said that I expect Adobe to support every new camera model immediately.
The technicalities of the coding and whether Lightroom "uses" the ACR plug in or not is not quite so much the issue, and I don't find the statement that "Lightroom does not use the Camera Raw plug-in" helpful. I don't think it's really right either. Lightroom - one way or the other - DOES "USE" ACR as the ability of Lightroom to recognise files is very much dependent on the version of ACR that you have. LRoom may not use the ACR plug in as PShop/Bridge in the exact same way (eg for the actual editing of files such as exposure, white balance etc.), but Lightroom DOES USE the ACR PLUG IN.... in regard to the file recognition issue.
And Yes.... I made a mistake. Somehow, despite what I thought were good efforts to research the Lumix's support in PShop CS6, Bridge, ACR and Lroom 4, I got it wrong. I will accept that it was my mistake and I'll accept my part in this, but I won't be made to feel that that it's been "totally" my fault, stupidity, whatever.
Thanks to all the people who have provided useful comment and input to my original question and subsequent responses throughout this discussion. I will indeed now consider options like the DNG converter. I was aware of the whole cloud thing, and had been thinking I would upgrade in perhaps a couple of years time (for both Pshop and LRoom) - I'll have to consider upgrading sooner rather than later.

Cs6 raw plugin not recognizing lumix g5 raw files

I just installed cs6 on my computer which is not connected to the internet. The camera raw plugin does not recognize my lumix G5 camera raw files. I tried downloading and installing what i think is the most recent raw plugin, but it still does not recognize the file format. I have installed the dng converter which does recognize these files but that's a clunky work-around. Any ideas on what I should try next?orwhere i can find the most recent raw plugin for cs6?
Best, David.

You can get the latest camera raw 8.5 plugin from here:

What if the computer that Photoshop is on is not connected to the internet?

You should also install the other updates for photoshop cs6:

Why can't i open my Panasonic Lumix FZ45 RAW files in CS3?

why can't i open my RAW files?
I have photoshop CS3 with camera raw plug-in 4.6.0.30 on MacBook Pro OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and a Panasonic Lumix FZ45
I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
I have no available updates in photoshop so assume that I am up to date with those.
Anyone have any ideas?
thanks

I have checked the list of supported cameras and mine appears to be there.
Yes, the Panasonic FZ45 is listed but it was first supported by Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) 6.2.
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
Then go to this table to see which versions of Photoshop are compatible with ACR 6.2: CS5 and later. Not CS3.
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
So your options are to upgrade to CS6 or subscribe to CC (check out the Photoshop Photography Program: PS CC + Lightroom 5).
Or download the free DNG converter, convert all your FZ75 Raw files to DNGs then open the DNGs in CS3

Elements 11: Can't open raw files from Panasonic Lumix TZ60. Will there be an update?

I have downloaded the Silkypix developer studio software that came with my camera (Mac Version) BUT my main camera is the Nikon D7100 and am used to using Raw in Photoshop elements 11. Will there be a Raw update which includes Panasonic Lumix TZ60 or will I have to use different raw converters? Thanks for your help.

The TZ60 needs the Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) plug-in version 8.4 or newer, which is only compatible with Elements 12, and only with OSX 10.7 or Windows 7 and newer.
If your computer and OS are new enough then you could upgrade to PSE12 and update PSE12 to use ACR 8.4 and be able to open the TZ60 raw files, but a new version of Elements usually comes out about this time every year, which means PSE13 is probably due out within a month so you might also wait a few weeks and upgrade to the newer version.
In the interim, again if your computer and OS are new enough, you can download the DNG Converter 8.4 or higher (usually you’d just get the newest version which is currently 8.6) and use it to create DNGs from your raw files and those will open in the older PSE11 ACR plug-in.
The DNG Converter is available, here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates
And PSE12 is available, here: http://www.adobe.com/downloads

Camera Raw doesn't recognize raw files of Panasonic's new Lumix FZ100.

I just bought Panasonic's new FZ100 camera only to find out that nothing in my Mac -- be it OSX, iPhoto, Preview or Adobe's Photoshop CS4 -- recognizes the pictures I take in RAW2 format. Does anyone else have this problem and when will Apple come out with a Camera Raw update that makes all its photo apps compatible with newer cameras? I asked Adobe the same question and was told to buy Photoshop CS5 for megabucks since they no longer update Camera Raw in older versions of Photoshop -- which I will not do.

There's typically a 4-5 month lag between the time a camera manufacturer releases a new model and when software vendors (such as Apple in this case) have the ability to view the RAW files.
RAW isn't a standard per se. It's more of a concept -- and every camera has it's own unique RAW format. The camera manufacturer's don't provide a any type of "RAW driver" to the software vendors. Companies like Apple & Adobe have to write their own and this takes a while to write, test, and integrate.
I think the Lumix FZ100 came out in August -- which means it's been 3-4 months by now and probably pretty close to RAW support showing up. You might have to sit tight for another month or maybe two, but probably not any longer than that.

What version of LR supports Lumix DMC LX7 RAW files? do I need to install Camera RAW plug-in?

What version of LR supports Lumix DMC LX7 RAW files? do I need to install Camera RAW plug-in?

The Camera Raw plugin is for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
The functionality provided by Camera Raw is already built in to Lightroom.
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 was first supported in Lightroom 4.2 so Lightroom 5 will be fine.

Aperture 3.1.2 Crashing with Lumix DMC-LX3 RW2 RAW Files

The subject pretty much sums it up: Aperture has recently starting crashing with certain files from my Lumix LX3- I am fairly sure the problem is limited to the RW2 RAW files from the Lumix, as I shoot as well with Canon 5D and 1D MkII and have not noticed any problems with these files. Also, I should not that Aperture handles the vast majority of the RW2 files with no problems (the RAW-engine update which supports these files is installed), but there are certain files that I can not open or view- Aperture will crash immediately if I click on them...
Any ideas? Is this something 'Repair Database' might help with or is there another problem.
Thanks in advance,
Jason

Thanks for the quick response-
No, as far as I can tell there are no adjustments that are generally common. It seems to be completely random files, and some files which worked fine at one point no longer work. I have also tried 'Remove all Adjustments' and this doesn't seem to help. It's not a lot of files- I just find them as I work through the photos to edit, but for example out of one batch of 100 or so files there were 2 files which I can't open...
The files open fine in Adobe Camera RAW, so this seems to be an Aperture specific issue. Also Aperture has created previews for the effected files, and if I click 'Quick-View' I am able to view these previews, but Aperture can't load the RAW files.

Aperture imports Lumix GF2 RAW files with strong green colour cast

I'm using Aperture 3.3.1 with Digital Camera RAW 3.14.0 built 6460000.1 and iPhoto 9.3.1
When importing RAW files from my Panasonic Lumix GF2 into Aperture, the initial thumbnails are fine (it displays those embedded in the RAW file), but when Aperture has finished its processing, thumbails and full size images are dark and green - it seems only the green channel has been taken into account.
When importing the same photos in iPhotos, they look normal, with all their colours.
If I open the iPhoto library with Aperture, the photos are fine as well.
This is the first time I import photos since updating Aperture, iPhoto and Camera RAW a few days ago - I had the previous versions from before the updates issued around the last WWDC event.
I would have assumed iPhoto and Aperture use the same Camera RAW engine so I don't understand how Aperture is "broken" but not iPhoto.
Any ideas for the resolution of this issue are welcome.
Thanks.

I applied the solution found on this this page:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3948457?start=0&tstart=0
Read the instructions carefully as there is a space to remove (introduce by the line break in the forum), then you need to reboot your Mac.
I solved my problem for new image imports. Regenerating the thumbails of already imported images didn't change anything. I gues this was because my issue was not just with the thumbails, but the whole image, without the Quick Preview feature activated.
