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!

  • Camera RAW image support for Pentax K100D

    Hi,
    Firstly, let me just say I have a MacBook Pro which came preloaded with Tiger. A month or so ago I upgraded to Leopard and I have applied all the available Apple software update.
    I recently got a Pentax K100D digital SLR camera capable of taking images in RAW format (the pentax saves these with a .PEF file extension) and I have been trying to view these images in Leopard. I read the article below, which says that Leopard provides system-level support for the Pentax K100D camera RAW format.
    *Digital camera RAW formats supported by Mac OS X 10.5*
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306835
    Now, my problem is that I cannot seem to be able to open the .PEF files with neither Quick Look, Preview, iPhoto or Aperture. Basically, none of these programs seem to be able to display my .PEF files. Aperture says 'unsupported image format'.
    I have installed the software that came with my Pentax (i.e. Pentax Photo Browser and Pentax Photo Laboratory) and these applications can display the .PEF images just fine. For what it's worth, I installed this software before I upgraded to Leopard.
    If I right-click on a .PEF file in Finder, the only programs listed in the Open context menu are the above two Pentax applications.
    So, what am I missing? Clearly something seems to be screwy in my Leopard set up. Is there some way to 'repair' the RAW image support in Leopard??
    I would appreciate any help in fixing this as I would really like to start working with RAW images in Aperture and iPhoto.
    Finally, just be aware that I am not an experienced Mac user. I have always used Windows until now and so... if you have a fix for this I would really appreciate a slightly more elaborate response.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eddie

    I have done a little more research on this...
    As it turns out, my camera is a Pentax K100D Super - not a K100D. The K100D Super is not listed as one of the supported camera RAW formats in the aforementioned article. So I guess this means that my camera is as yet unsupported. Sigh...

  • Photoshop Elements 7 and Panasonic Raw images

    I recently bought a Panasonic Luminex partly in order to shoot RAW images. My research told me that Photoshop Elements 6 and above would accept it. My PE 7 is telling me, however, that it cannot open the image because it is the wrong kind of file. Any guidance?

    What model of Panosonic Lumix is it?
    Unless it's Lumix DMC-GH1, then in all likelihood, you'll need to use the 8.2 dng converter
    to convert your lumix camera raw files to dng copies, which then pse 7 should open.

  • Raw image support from LR4.3 to CS4

    I upgraded to LR4.3 and CS4.  When I open a raw image in CS4 from LR4.3, the image quality is horrible.  A message appeared that I need camera raw plugin 7.3, however, this is not available for CS4.  Is there a solution to this problem or do I need to upgrade to CS6?

    You updated but I'll post the following for anyone else who has the same question in future.
    LR 4.3 is equivalent to Camera Raw 7.3. If LR and Ps aren't communicating well, you can export an image file from LR then open that into Ps. For 16-bit, choose TIFF with ZIP compression unless you don't mind an enormous file. 16-bit PSD is another option but its Background layer has no compression and will be the same huge size as an uncompressed TIFF.

  • RAW Image Support - Leica D-Lux 3

    I have seen several posts on D-Lux 2 support that either is in aperture or is not. Has anyone got the RAW files from a D-Lux 2 to work in APT? Anyone out there besides myself with a D-Lux 3 - it will not read RAW from that camera - reports unsupported image format. Really would like this to work, workaround? Anything?

    Hi,
    it´s the same problem with the Panasonic LX2. I read, the RAW-format of D-Lux2 / LX1 could be used with tweaking the RAW-recognition in OSX. I tried all the tricks (just search this forum), but they didn´t work with the LX2. Any suggestions appreciated...

  • 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.

  • RAW Image Support in the future?

    Does anyone know if Apple plans to offer support for RAW format images for viewing transfered images on the ipod photo?

    Thanks. I ask mainly because file types such as WMV, WMA, AVI etc are common and easy to manipulate files.
    So are the file types supported by QuickTime, iTunes and iPods.

  • NIKON D40 Raw Image Support

    Would i need to wait specifically for an update to edit D40 raw files or would the latest D80 update cover it , so i guess my question is, is the current format used universal to all latest nikon cameras just released?
    thanks

    Cross posting from the Aperture thread on the D40 raw format problem. I can now use raw files in IPhoto and Aperture while waiting for an update to come out.

  • RAW Images using Adobe RGB

    This appears to not just be an issue with iPhoto but more of the RAW image support in OS X itself.
    All RAW images that are opened in preview have the color profile Adobe RGB attached to them - this goes for all RAW images that I export to JPEGs from iPhoto. While this isn't really a problem if I am to keep/view/print images from my MacBook alone - but the colors of my images get messed up when I export some images for my wife to view on her PC - or when I use the Facebook feature of iPhoto to upload images to my Facebook account. The conversion to sRGB makes them look all washed out.
    Is there some way to have OS X use a different color profile when processing RAW images... so I know that what it will look like after I make adjustments and export them? Like I say - this isn't an iPhoto issue - but a OS X RAW Image issue... so forgive me if this is not the correct forum.
    Cheers!

    Thanks TD,
    I think that applies to JPEGs that are brought into iPhoto as opposed to RAW images that OS X processes.
    I am sure Facebook does process the file somewhat... mostly resizing the image to meet its specs. But as for the color I am sure it is to do with the color profile used. As I a say, the images look the same (washed out) when opened on my wife's PC (or my two PCs for that matter).
    I tested this by exporting a RAW image to JPEG in iPhoto... open it in Preview - the color profile used is Adobe RGB (as this is what OS X RAW Processing is using). I apply (convert) to sRGB and the colors become washed out (just as when uploading to Facebook). So it's apparent that it's a Color Profile issue. I just wanted to know if the OS X RAW processing be set to use another Color Profile.... Adobe RGB looks good... but not so great if the file is to be viewed with or exported to sRGB.
    Cheers!

  • HT201071 Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70/72 RAW images?

    I have Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ70/72, which doesn't figure on the list of supported cameras. What can I do with my RAW images?

    If you purchase Lightroom in a store the installation will probably give you Lightroom 5.0. Then you will be prompted that there is an update available. When you choose to update it will update you to Lightroom 5.7.1, which is the current version. There will be no charge for that update or any other additional updates that might come to Lightroom 5.
    If you are purchasing from Adobe online then you will probably be sent a link to the current version. Your other option would be to download the trial version and install it. Then just use your serial number from your purchase to activate the trial version.

  • E-M5 Mark II: Why does LR6 not support working with the full 4:3 raw image for pictures taken using a different aspect ratio?

    When importing Olympus E-M1 or E-M10 raw images which are taken in aspect ratio different to native the 4:3 MFT sensor format, LR will display the frame as crop overlay to the full image as captured by the sensor. This is very useful because at time of postprocessing one can still control the position of the frame, and modify if required.
    I was very suprised to see that for E-M5 Mark 2 this is not supported in LR6. The raw file in LR6 corresponds exactly to the frame which was chosen while shooting. Full 4:3 image information is present in the ORF raw file though, which can be easily seen eg using Olympus Viewer.
    Is there any specific reason why this useful feature has been neglected for E-M5 Mark II?
    Thanks

  • Download of latest Camera Raw to support Panasonic Lumix GX7 raw files

    I have downloaded the latest Camera Raw version for my Photoshop CS 5.1 as I have bought a new camera, Panasonic Lumix GX7.  Camera Raw still does not read these files in spite of the fact that the camera list shows that this camera is supported.  Please help. 

    According to Adobe’s list, you need at least ACR 8.2 to process GX7 raw files:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    According to this other list, you need at least CS6 to update to ACR 8.2:

  • My Nikon D7000 obtains 14 bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

    My Nikon D7000 obtains 14-bit raw images. Does Aperture 3 support 14 bit printing?

    I am pretty sure ( ) that Aperture has had a 16-bit color workflow for several years.
    Here is a printing hint from the User Manual:
    Use a printer that supports 16-bit printing: If the image you’re printing is a high-resolution 16-bit file, using a printer that supports 16-bit printing results in smoother gradations.
