Panasonic RAW format

Does Photoshop Elements 11 support Panasonic RAW format? (RW 2) If not, is there a fix for this so I can continue to use Photoshop 11?

Support for that camera was added in ACR 8.2. PSE11 only supports up to ACR 7.4 so you'll need to use the DNG Converter. This might help though if you're feeling adventurous - http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1383988?tstart=0 (and includes link to the DNG converter).

Lost RAW format for Panasonic DMC-LX1 with new version 1.5.3 !!!

Hi,
Aperture 1.5.3 tells me it doesn't understand the RAW format of my Panasonic DMC-LX1, when it used to in 1.5.2.
Anybody has any idea how to restore this ???
Thanks,

Actually Aperture doesn't support the RAW format of this Camera !

Does CS6 or Elements 11 camera raw plug-in support the panasonic raw file format rw2

Hi- I am thinking of upgrading to either one of these products as my current versions do not appear to support the panasonic raw file format rw2 but would like to know if the latest versions do support this format before I buy.

Note that CP's correct answer implies the fact that each individual camera model must be supported by ACR. You can't go just by the format alone. "RW2" alone is meaningless. Bear this in mind when you move to a newer camera. Check the ACR compatibility list first:

Can't import RAW format

I have a new Panasonic DMC-FZ35, and a Macbook Pro w/ OS 10.5.8 and iPhoto '09. I tried taking some pictures in RAW format, and they won't import. Get a message that they are in an "unrecognizable format". Have tried creating a new library, didn't work. Help! Thanks.

TD is correct.
Your camera is not on the supported RAW list for 10.5: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1475 (although the Panasonic DMC-FZ50 is on the list. Panasonic must use a different method of encoding RAW for the FZ30). Your camera is also not on the list for 10.6 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825.
You might want to let Apple know if you are interested in seeing this RAW type added to the OS. iPhoto > Provide iPhoto Feedback.
Re-saveing your RAW files to a usable format as TD suggests would be a good work around.

Sony NEX 7 - when will Aperture support RAW formats?

Just got my Sony NEX 7, but the RAW files are unsupported. The camera has been around for a while, so when will Aperture provide an update?

Looks like it's supported as of today. Check software update:
This update adds RAW image compatibility for the following cameras to Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11:
          • Canon PowerShot G1 X
          • Nikon D4
          • Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GX1
          • Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ35
          • Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ38
          • Samsung NX200
          • Sony Alpha NEX-7
          • Sony NEX-VG20
For more information on supported RAW formats, seehttp://support.apple.com/kb/HT4757.

Panasonic RAW Image Support

I have trouble using the pictures my Panasonic FZ-35 takes in RAW format. Iphoto wont import my pictures, as an error will appear. Pixelmator wont open the picture.
The extention of the file is .RW2
How should i solve this problem?

I have had a chance to look at this once more for you and have posted a link to an Apple document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825
The document does not list your camera, I am assuming there is something within your cameras RAW file programming that is slightly different to those listed in the Apple document.
So my original suggestion of loading Panasonic's own software (assuming that they supply such software, FYI Canon do) to your Mac may be the next best solution. At least you will have the chance of converting your RAW files (in my opinion the best way to shoot in digital) into JPEG's that will work with iPhoto.
Should you not wish to use the Panasonic option you of course have lots of RAW converters available, I use Iridient for my Canon RAW files and do know that this software does support your FZ-35 (well according to the website).
Over to you now!

Panasonic RAW files won't import into Aperture 3

I've just upgraded from Aperture 2 to 3, mainly to start using the RAW format with my camera, a Panasonic GH2. The Apple support page clearly states that Aperture 3 supports the RAW format for this camera while the version 2 does not.
Today I've loaded Aperture and fired a few test shots, some in jpeg and some in RAW. When I connected the camera to my Mac the shots seem to have loaded but only the ones in jpeg format are visible. The RAW files are represented in the browser by blank squares; when I click on them each one states 'Unsupported Image Format'
Do I need to change something in the import settings in order to load RAW files to Aperture 3, something which doesn't apply to jpegs? Or does Aperture 3 simply not support the format for my camera, despite what is stated on the Apple support pages.
Thanks,
Mike

Problem sorted. I updated all my software and the RAW files now load correctly.

I can't dowload raw formatted pictures from my LX-5 to iPhoto 9?

I just recently lost the ability to download raw formatted pictures from my Panasonic LX-5 to my Mac Book Pro running Lion. It has worked fine for 2 years and within the last month(?) I have started getting a message saying that RW2 is an unrecognizable format.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

When I went to downloads, the latest verion of raw support I saw listed was from november of 2011(3.9), and when I tried to install it, my computer said I already have a newer version installed.
Is there somewhere else I should look?

RAW format compatibility with iPhoto

I am looking for a new camera that supports RAW. It is my understanding each camera manufacturer uses a different file extension on their RAW images implying there is a difference between the file formats. The list that Apple supplies for cameras that can be used with iPhoto is not up to date as many newer cameras do not show up on their list.
Would it not be safe to assume that if, for example, Canon comes out with a new camera with RAW format support their file type which is .CRW would automatically work with iPhoto. The same would be for Nikon, Olympus and the rest. If the new camera uses the same file extension as one of the older cameras by the same manufacturer on Apples compatibility list the new camera will be compatible.
Here is the list of extensions I found by manufacturer.
.raf (Fuji)
.crw .cr2 (Canon)
.kdc .dcr (Kodak)
.mrw (Minolta)
.nef (Nikon)
.orf (Olympus)
.dng (Adobe)
.ptx .pef (Pentax)
.arw .srf (Sony)
.x3f (Sigma)
.erf (Epson)
.mef .mos (Mamiya)
.raw (Panasonic)
.r3d (Red)

This document should answer most of your questions: Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5.
Oops, didn't see that you were still using Tiger. This document may be more appropriate in that case: iPhoto 6: Supported RAW format cameras. There may be a Tiger doucment like the one for Leopard but I wasn't able to find it just now.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Panasonic Raw, DNG, and Aperture

So, I've tried everything I can to get a Panasonic RAW file into aperture without going through ACR and outputting a TIFF. I have tried all DNG converter options (Yes, ALL, in every combination) To no avail.
Here is the interesting part though: Aperture will generate the thumbnail, but when imported it says Image Unsupported. This was even with jpeg preview set to NONE in DNG Converter. SO if Aperture can extrapolate a thumbnail preview, why can't it work with the image?
Interesting.....
Dustin.

What would be even better would be support for the
linear conversion that can be embedded in a DNG file
- that way you could use DNG files converted from
almost any camera under the sun and import them,
including medium-format backs.
I submitted a request for this and everyone else should too - perhaps then priority for it would increase.
The annoying thing is that Linear DNG is supposed to be the format that ALWAYS works even when other DNG conversions fail. It exists as a fallback, so supporting some DNG files but not Linear RAW is madness.

Which RAW format of Digital camera does iPhoto '08 support?

I couldn't find any document about that on the apple website.
I've been using Panasonic DMC-FZ8 which is nice one but iPhoto 6 doesn't support yet.
I'm going to buy iLife '08 if iPhoto '08 supports it.
Anyone knows?

Hi TD,
Thanks for your help.
I didn't know it up to the OS level.
Because I can use RAW format of FZ8 on another software.
And when iPhoto updated, apple announces new RAW format support camera.
This is the one of software which can read FZ8 RAW file.
http://www.isl.co.jp/SILKYPIX/japanese/product/ds3/camera.html
Sorry, it's a Japanese but you can see the list.
Actually, I used this on OSX 10.4.8.
And I've tried another software before which can do it as well.
But iPhoto 6 doesn't read FZ8 RAW file on OSX 10.4.10...

Dealing with unsuported RAW formats?

I have a Leica D-Lux 3, very good compact made from Panasonic belt with some software improvments of the Jpeg internal treatment.
My issue is that Aperture even after the latest upgrade 1.5.2. don't support this RAW format, although Adobe element has a convertor tool.
Does anyone know if Aperture is going to release new patch to extend the number of RAW formats supported, including this one?
I'm new at MAC and I was really thrilled to use Aperture with my new toy providing RAW files on which I could apply standard and my own image processing setup.
I'm bit confused with the utility of Aperture without the support of RAW formats like with Adobe PS elements?
Does anyone use an external convertor on top of Aperture?
Any suggestion is welcome.

Aperture supports the Leica Digilux 2 and Panasonic DMC-LC1.
If either of these share the same ccd sensor, you may have a chance.
If so, you need to edit the RAW plist file. There are threads on this and I got a Canon powershot s40 to work by doing it.
Essentially you'll copy the section from the target camera, and then paste it. Edit the camera model on the duplicate to be your Leica model and save.
You'll have to allow preferences before editing and reset preference after editing.
Failing this hack working, no, you'll need to covert outside Aperture and import as TIF, PSD or JPG.

I have a new canon d7 mark ii and I can not get the raw picture to download in lightroom 6. Lightroom says it does not recognize the raw format. Is there a solution?

Lightroom 6 will not open raw files from my new canon d7 mark II camera. The program says "The files are not recognized by the raw format supported in Lightroom. The Lightroom 6 is up to date. Is there a quick fix to this issue?

Lightroom 5 cannot export files in original Raw format (LR 5.4, Mac, OS 10.9.4).

A client has the following problem: When trying to export files in the original Raw format (.CR2), the operation failed and a dialog informs us that "Some export operations were not performed". We can export JPEGs just fine.
After lots of testing, this is what we discovered: The problem does not appear to be catalog-based; we run into the same problem using a test catalog. The export operation works fine, however, with the same test catalog and images on two other machines, and it even works fine on the same machine with a new user admin account that we created.
So it appears to be something associated with the user account, , or with how LR is interacting with the user account, but I cannot figure out what it might be. We can copy the Raw files when using the Finder to do so. But not via Lightroom. Any thoughts, ideas of suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Sean

As part of your testing make sure you've tried exporting JPGs from the same folder as the CR2s you're exporting as original, and export JPGs from CR2s to the same folder as you're exporting your originals. This would test LR's read and write permissions from and to the folders being used.
From this document you can see that all the LR files other than the program, are under the /Users folder with different values possible for each user, so the difference could be that the users that work are using the original LR defaults, if you have just started using LR with them after you started having this problem, or at least that the user with the problem has some oddball settings that are interfering with Export as Original.
Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
You can test for the Preferences being off by either copying the preferences from a user that has the problem to a user that doesn't have the problem--probably through an external or common folder, or be deleting the preferences file from the user that has the problem and see if it resolves. Moving the preferences file or renaming it may be better than deleting it if no change is seen, then you can restore the preferences back by moving or renaming the file back to the original location and name.

Why is this so long to recognize a new RAW format?

Hi,
I'm new to Mac and to Aperture. I use it with Dimage A1. It's great!
But I am disappointed because I also use Pentax K10D which is not recognized by Aperture.
I notice that it needed much time to import *ist RAW format. Is this so difficult to integrate new RAW?
Does Apple consider others than Canon/Nikon as minor?
Thanks

I remember waiting 4 months to get Aperture because the (hugely successful) Nikon D200 took nearly 6 months before being recognized by Aperture.
At the time I though it was a "ramping up" problem and would stay isolated.
Time has proven my optimism was mistaken, on that particular point.
don't get me wrong: Aperture has changed my life as a digital Photographer... a story I often tell and demonstrate. However, releasing camera coompatibility updates few and far between is a massive strategic mistake... of a magnitude Apple never makes with hardware, iPod, retail etc....
So I guess there is a clearly visible dichotomy at work here:
- on the one hand Apple wants to be a player in the creative pro apps market.
- on the other hand the haphazardness of their SW update release schedule speaks volumes (and not just AP: look at the Logic Pro udpate calendar: nothing for how many years now???)...
Digital photography is at a major turning point now... the years 2006-2009 will see more new "serious" cameras released than the ten years before.. and probably the ten years after. Not being reactive during that time is surprising.
$
I don't know what is holding up the AP team on the Pentax, Leica (and now fuji) compatibility, but it's hurting them a lot now... and blaming it on the Leopard schedule, for good reasons or bad, is a tragedy in terms of pro photographers perception...
I hope Aperture will not turn out to be for the enthusiast once the pros have left the building... I'd hate to witness that happening.
