Panasonic LX3 RW2 files

Does anyone know why Lightroom does not have the option to process RW2 raw files without distortion correction? For now, when I want the 'true' uncorrected raw file I need to use a different raw converter (for me it is GIMP), but that is a bit of a pain. Thanks.

>Does anyone know why Lightroom does not have the option to process RW2 raw files without distortion correction?
Because Pana required Adobe to add it before they would allow Adobe to support their RAW files. They don't want you to see that the lens distorts quite a bit and has a lot of CA and fringing.

  • No camera profiles in development module for Panasonic GH4 rw2 files, imported in Lightroom 5.6.

    No camera profiles in development module for Panasonic GH4 rw2 files, imported in Lightroom 5.6.
    Only the "Adobe Standard" is shown. In metadata I can see that the camera and lense were recognized correctly. What could be the reason?

    The sample GH4 raw file I found on PhotographyBlog does have a lens profile that the Adobe applies automatically without having lens profiles being enabled.  This is indicated in Photoshop CC / ACR 8.x so perhaps LR 6 will give us the same indication:
    By comparison, here is what the uncorrected raw file looks like in a raw converter that doesn't do lens corrections:

  • Panasonic LX3 Raw files in 1:1 aspect rtio

    The new firmware for the Panasonic LX3 allows the selection of a 1:1 aspect ratio (Square) for both Raw (RW2) and JPEG files.  My Lightroom 2.5 will load the JPEG files, but  reports an error when I try to load the Raw files.  I am requesting that the next update be modified to allow processing to RAW (RW2) files taken in the 1:1 aspect ratio.   Thanks.

    Thanks. I thought I had selected that link and my message went there.
    I will send another one.

  • Want to read Panasonic LX3 DNG files

    There has been some speculation that the exposure of LX3 raw files is being boosted by as much as one EV during raw development in order to compensate for overstated nominal ISO values. (This is based on sensor-level tests by DxOMark.) I am interested in finding out if this the case.
    My reading of the DNG spec is that any exposure boost would be specified with the BaselineExposure tag. However, I have not found software that will let me read tags in .dng files. Is such a reader available?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I did the automatic update from within Photoshop to download the new ACR and it wouldn't open LX3 files.
    I then downloaded 5.2 from adobe.com and installed manually and it works fine. LX3 files show up in Bridge and open with ACR.
    The same thing happened with the Nikon D90 when it was new.
    I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.5.
    Thanks.

  • Camera Raw CS4 5.2 Update/Panasonic LX5 .RW2 Files Won't Open

    Hi, recently purchased a Panasonic LX5 that shoots raw using the .rw2 extension. Tried importing into Camera Raw via Bridge, but couldn't get it to open. Read around and discovered that Raw needs to be manually updated to 5.2 and some profiles need to be installed (which I've done). Went to the Adobe download section and followed the directions for installing on a mac (OS 10.6.8) - when I open up other files it reads Camera Raw 5.2 at the top. However, the Panasonic LX5 files still won't open. Did some more searching and I've read that everything from the "files will open without problem" to "they need to be converted using a .DNG converter." So, I'm confused; am I doing something wrong? Is there an additional step I'm missing to the 5.2 update? Do I just need to download the .DNG converter and use that? Any help is appreciated.
    I'm on:
    Mac 10.6.8
    Running CS4

    You should probably update all the way to Camera Raw 5.7, which was the latest update for Photoshop CS4.

  • Support for Panasonic LX3 RAW files in Lightroom  (Windows Vista)

    I have just bought a Panasonic DMC LX3 and have upgraded to CS4 on my desktop machine and downloaded ACR 5.2 to support the Panasonic RAW files. I run Lightroom 2.1 on my laptop and Lightroom is unable to support these RAW files as yet. Will Lightroom be supporting the LX3, if so when and how will this support be provided? Will it be a RAW update (4.6 to 5.2, or whatever) or will I need a new version/release of Lightroom?
    Thank you, John Cross

  • HT201070 Panasonic GX7 Raw files crash display

    I installed 5.01 (on top of Mavericks and Aperture 3.4.5) but it has not given support for Panasonic GX7 .RW2 files.
    In fact, coming anywhere near the files with Preview crashes the display, requiring a reboot, etc. Very nasty. Could someone advise?

    As an update to this, I can report that Aperture 3.5 handles the raw files in question without incident, but the Preview is still behaving badly.
    I have recently and happily installed Mavericks on a 2013 macbook Air, and the same raw files are OK both in Preview and Aperture. So I am looking at either: my 2008 iMac is too old, or not enough memory (4GB).
    or Preview app is screwed up.
    There is a suggested probe and possible fix for Preview from Linc Davis on this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3963769
    I will let you know how it goes if I get to it.

  • 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.

  • HT4757 Why can't I see the thumbnails in Finder for my .RW2 Panasonic raw image files with OS 10.7.4 ??

    I cannot view my Panasonic DMC-G10 photos anymore with OS 10.7.4 eventhough the tech sheet says I can.  After being FORCED to upgrade in order to transfer certain services from MobileMe to iCloud, this is very disappointing and reminiscent of the legal anti-trust problems that Microsoft had in bundling all their MS software to their operating system.  I want to see my images as stated in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757  What can I do to see my images in Finder ???? 

    ok, have copied the photos again from the memory card and hey presto, it all works fine.  So in summary...for RW2 files from GF1 camera, I have no thumbnail images, couldn't view in Preview, and neither Quickview nor Coverview were working.  Ran the bit of code provided at "https://discussions.apple.com/message/18369759#18369759" (thanks to Snoop Dogg) and then recopied the photos onto my Mac (only required for photos copied since upgrading to Lion, everything from before the upgrade is fine anyway).
    Hope others find this helpful.

  • Problem with DNG conversion of Panasonic FZ-200 .RW2 file?

    When I convert a Panasonic FZ-200 .RW2 raw file using DNG Converter 8.6 on Windows 8.1 64 bit, I get a warning from ExifTool of "Invalid DistortionInfo."  Looking at the ExifTool source code, this happens when the length of the block containing the distortion information is not 32 bytes in length (which it is in the .RW2 file).
    This indicates to me that the DNG converter is not correctly rewriting some of the metadata correctly.
    Can anybody else reproduce this, and is this the proper forum for reporting this problem?

    I am seeing the same thing, both with the standalone DNG Converter 8.6 and DNGs saved from ACR 8.6:
    My question would be whether the DistortionInfo is supposed to always be 32-bytes according to some current standard or if there is somewhere else in the file that says how long the DistortionInfo area actually is so it's fine that it's not 32-bytes.  I mean is the DNGC doing something wrong or is EXIFTool too inflexible.

  • Panasonic .RW2 files

    Is there a way to read Panasonic .RW2 files in Photoshop CS4?  I've tried all of the Camera raw plug-ins to no avail!

    What camera model?
    If it came out after the last CS4 Camera Raw update, you'll either need to download and use the free DNG Converter app or update to CS5 or use the software that came with your camera.

  • Support for Panasonic GH4 RAW (RW2) Files?

    Any word on support for Panasonic GH4 RAW (RW2) files? They load into Aperture (and Photoshop, too) with the dreaded "unsupported image type" alert.

    The GH4 comes with a software disc that includes SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE for Mac & PC. Installing the software seems to also install the Panasonic Raw 2 Image Plugin. Once the software was installed, I was able to open the RW2 files shot with the GH4 in iPhoto, Lightroom 5 and Preview. After SILKYPIX Developer Studio 4.1 SE is installed, the RW2 preview images also appear in Finder.
    I was not able to find the software on the Panasonic web site, so if you are installing on a new Mac without a CD/DVD drive, you'll need to use Remote Disc.

  • 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
