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.

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

  • 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. 

  • 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:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/camera-raw-compatible-applications.html
    So you either need to upgrade to PS-CS6 or sign-up for a cloud subscription, or download the latest DNG Converter that works with whatever OS version you have, from here:

  • I use gmail on my ipad. Why can't I open any attachments? Not word files, not photos, nothing. Thanks

    I use g-mail on my ipad. I have no trouble receiving mail, but I cannot open any attachments of any kind. Why?

    For Gmail attachments, if they are PDF files (as well as many other formats) when you are viewing them on the iPad in Safari there is an option to "Open in iBooks" just below the tab you have open (at the top of the page).
    From iBooks you can print them to a wireless printer easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why can't I open just one of my numbers files?

    Hello,
    I am unable to open a rather important numbers file on my macbook pro. I can open all other numbers files but when I double click this one, it sort of "shines" as if its going to open then nothing happens. The data in it is really important and I can't get to it. I also have set up my time machine (as I don't know how) and wondered if anyone has any suggestions?
    Many Thanks

    If you meant that you have not set up your time machine, the following may help with that: Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    Regarding the Numbers file -- this is a long shot, but rather than double-clicking on it you might try first starting Numbers and then use its File menu Open command and see if that will open the file.

  • Can anyone help me...Why Can't I open a compound clips containing missing files?

    I Have been using FCPX for only a short time and I have a few unfinished projects on the go. But after tidying up an reorganising my hard drives putting FCPx Projects and Events on an external drive. I find some of my projects with compound clips show this horrid warning icon for "missing files". I am want to relink  the missing clips but FCPX will not allow me to open the compound clips so I could see what are the missing ones... so, can anyone help find a way to re-link or recover those missing files.

    File browser? You mean the compound clip is in the project but not in the event? What version of the software are you using?
    Select the compound clip and use Clip>Reference New Parent Clip. Does that work? Try relinking the project files.

  • Why can't I open subfolders when dragging and holding files?

    When I drag-and-hold a file to a folder with the purpose of placing it into one of its subfolders, I can't go past the first folder: in other words, unlike Mavericks, where I could drag the file and open one folder after the other until I could just release my file into the final destination, since I installed Yosemite I can't do it any longer and when I place the dragged file over a subfolder all I see is a "+" sign, but the folder won't open.
    Is there a way to restore that functionality?
    Thank you!

    See if it works in both another user account and while booted into Safe Mode.

    If it works in another account, it is something interfering with it in your user account.
    If it works in Safe Mode, then it is something that runs at startup.

  • Panasonic Lumix G6 RAW files

    Hi ive just got a lumix g6 but my emements 9 will not open them. Ive tried updating elements but it says it up to date.

    It would appear that your Panasonic G6 was not supported until Camera Raw 8.1 which is not supported by your Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1.
    Even if it were, you might run your version blocking the raw image import because of size.
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/624979
    The above is a Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 thread, but it is applicable to version 9.0/9.0.1 as well.
    Please review and consider.
    Thanks.
    ATR
    Add On....You can use raw and dng images in Premiere Elements, provided that you have installed a version of Camera Raw that supports your camera AND Premiere Elements supports that version of Camera Raw. In earlier versions of the program, such as version 9.0/9.0.1, there was also the size factor as mentioned above. The results are good with all the above ifs in place.

  • Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

    Hello...
    I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
    Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
    Here was my process in a nutshell:
    ~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
    ~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
    ~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
    as often throughout this process.)
    ~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
    ~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
    ~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
    ~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
    I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
    Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
    ...Rae

    Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
    Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

  • Why can't I open a lot of documents since yosemite. They are in grey

    Since I installed the last version of OS X on my Ipad, I could not open a lot of documents on my Mac. I thought this problem would be solved when I would install Yosemite on my mac but this is not the case.
    Why are so many documents in grey and why can't I open these documents on my mac with yosemite ?

    Tell your friend to go to bit.ly to create a 'short URL' for that address.
    They can send you that & you shouldn't have to worry about the SMS or any other messaging size limitations.
    NOTE: there are many other URL shortener services…

  • Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite?

    Why can't TextEdit open more than 5 links at a time in Yosemite? In the previous OS, I could highlight many links at a time, right click and then select "Open URL" to open the links in Safari. Now, if I select more than five links at a time (and sometimes with five links) it will only open the first five and TextEdit pops up with the alert, "The 'Open URL' service could not be used."
    I'm running 10.10.1 on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2009), 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 500 GB HD.
    TextEdit is Version 1.10 (319).

    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.
