PANASONIC LUMIX FZ-18 RAW Files

Hello, I would like to know why I can't open FZ18 RAW format in Apple Aperture 2.1.
I recently update my system including Digital Camera RAW Compatibily to 2.0.
And I still have this problem.
I need a Plug-in?
Thanks

Here are Aperture's supported cameras:

I don't see that specific Panasonic camera listed. Is it the same as one of those? If not, you're out of luck -- submit feedback.

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.

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 FZ30 and LX1 RAW files with iPhoto 6?

I can't get an answer anywhere on this one so far, including from Apple.
Can I download RAW files from a Panasonic FZ30 and LX1 using iPhoto 6?
The list of supported cameras doesn't include either camera but does include the LC1.
Have any of you had any experience with either of those cameras and iPhoto?
Thanks.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Updating the camera firmware to version 1.0.9 fixed the problem for me. This allowed iPhoto to correctly import both the RAW and JPG files from the camera.
My camera came with version 1.0.4 installed when it was delivered to me yesterday.
A workaround for the problem, if for some reason you can't do the firmware update, is to read the files from the SD card using a USB card reader.

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> 
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.

Aperture 3.1.1 Support for RW2 Panasonic Lumix FZ-40 RAW format

1. I shot in BOTH JPG+RAW setting. Then imported in Aperture 3.1.1 with setting of BOTH RAW+JPG with RAW as MASTER. Import Completed.
When I look for the photos, some have come in as JPG (I believe that at least some of these may have been taken as JPG only). However, most are showing as "UNSUPPORTED FORMAT".
Software is up to date. RAW Comp Update 3.6 applied before I started. Mac OSX 10.6.6 on MBP 17" Intel Core 2. Maxed RAM.
I purchased Aperture specifically for RAW support, RAW conversion and image touchup.
Really disappointed that Apple does not appear to support RW2.
Is there a plugin that will help?
I do not want complicated workflows like import in another app, then convert rW2 to something aperture will accept and then reimport the converted file into aperture as i have very limited time.

That table lists FZ50 and FZ 100 but not FZ28 or FZ40. I do not know why Panasonic would have changed the file formats which all carry extension .RW2.
I do have Aperture 3.1.1 with Mac OSX 10.6.6. So that is not an issue.
The FZ100 uses a CMOS sensor that produces a very noisy image. So I stuck with FZ40 which uses an upgraded CCD from the FZ28 line.
Using DNG means an additional step.
I certainly hope that Apple supports the .RW2 format properly so that all the cameras using that are supported.

Panasonic Lumix LX3, shooting RAW with Film Modes

I've been shooting RAW+JPEG and testing Film Modes (for example B&W) and noticed that RAW images will import "tabula rasa" without any of the Film Mode settings applied. JPEGs are naturally as supposed.
I'm wondering if this is how it's supposed to work, as the RAW's first show a thumbail with Film Mode's settings, for example b&w first shows as b&w, but eventually Aperture processes a new thumbnail with standard raw settings. (I don't have previews on).
I know raw is raw and you can't shoot it b&w, but I can't help thinking if there are some in-camera RAW settings that Aperture just doesn't know how to read and pre-apply when it's imported.
The in-camera b&w settings would be nice starting point for further raw-editing in Aperture, but now one has to start from scratch.
Anyone know if this is how it works, maybe with other cameras too?

That's propably it. Only, I've read some reviews of LX3 that claim you can also shoot Film Modes in RAW. For example Mark Goldstein at photographyblog.com says:
"This [=film mode] applies to both JPEG and RAW files, so you can effectively shoot a black and white RAW file, for example, out of the camera if you wish (although I'm not sure why you'd want to...). "
This makes no sense to me as I believe you can only get one kind of RAW from a sensor, but it makes me wonder if there still should be a way to have some kind of B&W RAW straight from the camera and Aperture just doesn't know how to interpret it.
I also agree with Goldstein that I wouldn't want it to shoot b&w destructively, but rather as a non-destructive "layer".
Also the LX3 manual doesn't say a word that you couldn't use Film Modes when shooting RAW, and it's quite good at telling what is not applicable for certain modes.

Import from Panasonic DMC-LX3, only RAW files being imported not JPGs

Hi,
is there a workaround for the following Aperture import transfer behaviour:
I have set my Panasonic DMC-LX3 to produce Raw (for CS4) and Jpg images with every shot.
However, when I import the SD card, Aperture only imports the .RW2 files (which are of course not supported as the DMC-LX3 is not compatible).
When I separate the RW2 files from the JPGs with two different folders on the SD card, then Aperture is able to transfer the JPGs.
Any workaround?
Thanks
Christoph

The JPEGs are there; they're just not used by default. To use them, use the "New version from master JPEG" menu item.

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.

RAW Photo Import from Panasonic Lumix

I reviewed this archived discussion thread iphoto and panasonic lumix dmc-fz28 raw (.rw2) files support and thought I found a solution, but the RPP app suggested still doesn't work. My problem is that my MAC (OS 10.7.4) will not recognize my camera as a valid device. It shows up momentarily in the finder, then disappears and give me the "...device was not ejected properly..." message...so, I can't even use the app to open the rw2 images! Anyone have a suggestion?

That sounds like a faulty connection on the camera, mac or damaged cable.
Try a USB Card Reader in a different port with a different cable

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:

Issues with Aperture 3.3.1 and LX-5 raw files

Having used my Lumix LX-5 raw files successfully with previous versions of Aperture, after loading some into V3.3.1 this morning, the initial preveiws were fine, and then I watched everyone change from a normal well exposed image to vertially all black with a very dark green colour cast!
No amount of adjustment via the inspector tools wil fix them.
Anyone got any suggestions or solutions?
Thanks

Two things to try:
Force the generation of new previews by holding down the option key while selecting "Update Preview"
If this only happened after you upgraded to 10.7.4 and worked well before, then register your camera with the lauch services database - 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.
Added: if that does not help, try to remove the raw presets from ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/RawDecodePresets.plist

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.

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
