Lumix TZ70 RW2 files

I have just purchased a Panasonic Lumix TZ70 and found that the RW2 files are not currently supported by LR5.
Please advise when the update to LR will happen.

The new DNG converter (8.8) now supports TZ70 files, if you are still interested. I expect LR5 will do so with the next update.
EDIT: Having just downloaded it it doesn't seem to recognise the RW2 files. Will keep you posted.
EDIT: It's works fine. You select the source FOLDER, not individual files. You can't see the files.

Question - is it possible to view Lumix G5 .rw2 files using Lightroom 3.6?

I'm not great with IT. I've just about worked out how to use Lightroom 3.6 with my Canon images, then gone and blown it by buying a Panasonic Lumix G5, and Lightroom cannot read its RAW files. I downloaded Camera Raw 7.2 as the forums seemed to suggest but Lightroom 3.6 still can't handle the rw2 files. Should I have done something to link the download to the Lightroom program? It shows in the program list on the "start" button.
Not sure whether it is just not possible or if I have done something wrong. Any help appreciated. thanks.

I can't upgrade at the moment so I guess it will be the DNG option.
When I handle a .dng file in Lightroom does that have a similar amount of data as the RAW file?
If you can't upgrade, then converting to DNG is the thing to do. The raw data is re-compressed losslessly in the DNG file, i.e. preserved exactly.
Editing DNGs in LR3 is essentially the same as editing the original raws.
Enjoy,

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.

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.

How to convert Panasonic *.RW2 files from a Lumix FZ200 camera?

I have installed DNG Converter 7.3 under Windows 7 (64 bit) but DNG does not recognize those files.
Is there a solution?
Does adobe plan to upgrade DNG converter to include such unsupported files?
thanks
Brian D

Greetings,
I'm also having a problem with files from the FZ200. I can successfully convert the RW2 files to .DNG using the converter. However, when i try to import the new .DNG file into GIMP 2.8, it is imported at 256x192 pixels. it is still 11mg or so, but the resolution is poor. Does anyone know how to import converted RAW files into GIMP?

Does Elements 13 read RW2 files ?

I`ve just purchased the Panasonic DMC TZ60,I use elements 11 at the moment which is great for reading my raw files from my Canon
@ 400d,if Elements 13 reads RW2 files,I`ll purchase it.

Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS40 (DMC-TZ60, DMC-TZ61)
Yes that camera is supported.

How can I import RW2 files into Lightroom 4?Also why can`t I see jpgs related to the same RW2 files?

I tried ti import my RW2 camera (Lumix) raw files into Lightroom 4.4 and simply couldn`t do it. Also I had jpgs in the same folder and Lightroom didn`t bring them in at all.
What can I do? Is there any ways or settings? Does Lightroom 5 see RW2?
Thanks

What Jim said.
Either:
Upgrade to Lightroom 5 then open the RW2 files in LR5, or
Download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all RW2 files to DNGs then edit the DNGs in Lightroom 4

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.

Raw file previews of .rw2 files (in Finder, etc.) on Macintosh?

I know that this is not necessarily a Photoshop question, but it is the kind of issue that Photoshop users might be able to help me with.
I have two computers and two cameras. The computers are both Macs, the cameras are a Canon and Panasonic. For reasons that I don't understand, I can see image previews of the Canon raw files (.CR2) files in the Finder and other programs, but I can see previews of the Panasonic files (.RW2) files on only one computer. Both computers have Creative Suite Design Standard CS4 installed. I just updated Camera Raw by hand to v 5.7, but this didn't help.
I have talked to Apple Tech Support, they said that this was a user application issue--some application installs something that allows the Finder and other apps to display a preview of the image.
Browsing Apple's support forums, there is an indication that if I were to install iLife or Aperture, that might solve my problem (because there is a raw file updater for Mac that supports .RW2 files). But I don't have either program currently installed on either computer, and one can display previews.
Any thoughts on this? Anyone else able to see or not see previews of raw files.
TIA
PS--converting the .rw2 files to .dng does not help.

hello. did you ever find a solution to this problem? i still have this same problem with .rw2 riles not previewing in finder on one of my macs.
thanks. .j

RW2 files don't open in After CS5.5

Hello, I am trying to import or open RW2 files sequences from a Panasonic GH3 camera in Adobe apps (After Effects & Photoshop) on a Mac Pro X.8.3. The Adobe apps do not recognize the RW2 file, they open in Aperçu (don't know the name of this app in English, Preview ?)
Does anybody have an idea ?

Thanks for the feedback. I do appreciate it. And based on it I've just done a few little tests:
Shot 10 RW2 stills on a freshly formatted SanDisk Extreme card inside my GH3. Put the card in the reader and imported into Lightroom. Closed LR. Opened AE. Tried import. Failed.
Next, I copied the RW2 files to a folder (skipping LR import) and tried bringing into AE. Failed.
Then I pulled out my old GH2. Put the card in it and it could read the RW2 files from the GH3 without any problem.
I then shot another 10 RW2 shots, this time on the GH2. These AE would import as a sequence (after an OS copy from card to HD, I didn't bother passing them through LR).
Now it could be Panasonic has done something funky, in which case bad on them. But then the GH2 can read the GH3's images without a glitch so I'd bet against that.
Although Adobe claims to fully support the GH3, they clearly don't. Support in some applications but not others does not equal support.
