Jul 10, 2012  So when I tried to add my pics to Iphoto on my Mac it showed the RW2 pics as unrecognizable. I did some research and realize my Mac does not support RAW pics from my particular camera. Silkypix software came with my camera and I downloaded that onto my Mac as I read this would allow me to convert. The availability of RAW files on your Mac depends on a few conditions: If you have the Download Originals to this Mac option turned on in Photos (Photos > Preferences > iCloud > Download Originals to this Mac), then your RAW files are always present in Photos on your Mac.

I also looked at the link Prodo123 posted but I did find some of the terminology confusing. I am going to go back and read through it again though because it does seem they are discussing an issue similar if not the same as mine. So if you aren't totally sick of this newbie already I'd appreciate any more help you can give me! Hi again, I tried to find the installations version like r.harris1 asked but it seems I'm even having trouble with that I clicked on the apple icon, about this mac, more info, software.but there is no installations.

Silkypix Tutorials found here as it is a bit unfamiliar Silkypix can be used as a RAW converter to an un-sharpened un-noise reduced basic 16 bit tiff to be fed to Photoshop or the like if wanting to get fussy. Otherwise try the Adobe site for the free DNG conversion software that makes any RAW file into a DNG file that is recognised by more Photoshop versions.

Hoping someone here can help. I inadvertently took several vacation pics with my Panasonic Lumix GF3 in the RAW state. I have only had this camera for a little while so have mainly been using the automatic feature. So when I tried to add my pics to Iphoto on my Mac it showed the RW2 pics as unrecognizable. I did some research and realize my Mac does not support RAW pics from my particular camera.

Choose a location to save your files & you're done Thank goodness you have 10.6.8, which still has the 'Save As' command; the dopping of Save AS & inclusion of 'Duplicate' in Lion has negatively impacted workflows; now you can appreciate how useful that 'Save As' menu item is.

Margue seemed to get positive outcome/results from using ACR software, he did not name the software packages and how? Thanks for reading. There are some things the in camera jpg conversion handles really well and others it doesn't - no surprise. It does things like old brick walls, for example, but it makes a complete disaster out of things with distant foliage, for example, trees. So it really depends on content.

How to convert the RW2 file to RAW? If you have already downloaded one of the converters and installed it on your computer, you can proceed to the appropriate conversion process of RW2 to RAW. Handling all the programs is usually very intuitive and is based on the same pattern of conduct. We will briefly discuss a few steps that you always need to go through while changing the format of the RW2 file: • Please indicate on your computer the source file RW2, the format of which you are going to change • Load the RW2 file to the application • Select the output format of the RAW file (the one that we want to achieve) • Select the location to save the output file RAW on the disk (the place where the program will save the converted file) • Confirm conversion • Wait for a moment • Enjoy the converted RAW file that can be found in the location selected in step 4.

There are some good tutorial magazines around for a few £. When you say ACR what is the exact name of the s/w package, Lightroom, Photoshop CS6, Photoshop elements which one they all can do the conversion. Which one to use besides Silkpix?

But if does every happen and you react with total surprise, know that the in camera JPG probably has it right. It might occur with a small, dim, red neon sign on even a rather dark day. Again, you may never encounter the very specific conditions which may trigger this effect. BTW - in a blown highlight situation, if you can see the faintest amount of grey detail in the highlight area, the colour values probably are (!) still there for recovery. Again, it requires a certain learned knack.

I'm upgrading my Mac soon, so I will be doing LR! But the organizational abilities of LR attract me as much as the processing does. BTW: in the ancient past, Adobe Bridge was included with Photoshop Elements! That is what Lightroom was, and included the full version of ACR. It was because Adobe had no other tool of organization at the time. Further OT: because the current version of LR can 'zeroed out' even with respect to curves, it enables more easily approaching the use of a digital camera as a digital camera, and not as a camera that emulates a film camera.

I would look at RAW as a nice fall-back, but don't buy a point and shoot just because it has raw UNLESS you are looking to do a lot of post-processing work, or you have the software and know-how to set up RAW workflows. For the Pannys, you can use their included software to do some minor corrections, then save as a tiff, and then work on the tiff in another application (assuming you don't like the Panny software). My apologies if you already know all about RAW, but if you are thinking you should get that compact camera to learn how to use RAW, then I'd warn you that you are in for a steep learning curve with limited benefit (small sensors have limited dynamic range, more noise, and less color bit depth, so although the RAWs might get you some better color or highlight recovery, you are going to swim through a lot of noise from the sensor, and you'll still not be able to recover as much as with a DSLR). I do know folks who do get benefit out of RAW on their small cams, but they were either willing to put in the learning time, or they already had a RAW workflow and expertise from DSLR work. Sorry for the pessimistic post, but I just thought a word of warning might be of help. Good luck and happy shooting.

Does anyone know of a way to convert these photos to JPEG. I just looked again at the Fastsone viewer, using the 'Email' converter you can convert and save RAW files to a folder, but. This works on the FZ38 RAW files, but NOT the FZ100 ones.

Happy Thanksgiving! Our Special Prices are valid until November 28, 2018.

It allows a photographer to see the RAW exactly as a converter will 'see' it, without any delays or waiting time, guaranteeing the possibility to sort and cull RAW images lightning fast and based on the quality of the RAW itself, not JPEG previews.

I have PSE11. I am no expert, & I don't know if ACR is the exactly same in each of these different software packages, but what you get with PSE11 is more than enough for me.

IOS devices will view the embedded JPEG. • RAW files that you store outside the Photos app library (for example, in your Pictures folder) are always present on your Mac, but aren't stored in iCloud and won't stay up to date in the Photos app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

It doesn't give a full sized image, however Heres one from yesterday from an FZ100 RAW file to give an idea of the quality and size hope this helps! A late reply to an old thread, but here's what I did. I needed to get 280 RW2 photos ready for uploading to a photobook. I do own a Lightroom licence, but needs reinstalling and besides I didn't like the way it took over my day with it's too many ways to improve a picture So, I looked at Picasa - version 3.9 - I and saw that there was an export option - selected all my 280 RW2 photos and a single click on 'export picture to folder' created a JPG copy of every single one. I could then have done a Picture/Batch Edit and maybe I'm feeling lucky - usually does a good enough job, but I had given up a large portion of my life 3 years ago, fluffing around using Lightroom, so the photos were already correctly oriented and good enough for a coffee table photo book.

If it's very new an update may be coming. If it's older Apple may release an update, but I'd not be holding my breath.

Certainly useful to have fast internet when creating a 94 page photo book.

But understanding the.rw2 file from one camera does not mean anything about the ability to understand a different cameras.rw2 file. In terms of updates how old is the camera (when was that model releases)?

I currently have 10.6.8. I don't think I want to download a new operating system on my own (remember my first post where I mentioned I was technologically challenged!) so I may go to my local apple store to have them do it. Donklaus, my camera did come with software. It's the silkypix I mentioned in my first post. To me it's very confusing and the only support I can find online is in Japanese. I may not go with the upgrade to my Mac depending on how much it would cost me at the Apple store.

So if you aren't totally sick of this newbie already I'd appreciate any more help you can give me!

Contenta RAW Converter is a simple, yet powerful tool that can convert your RAW images. It also gives you the ability to rename and organize your photos in subfolders using EXIF/IPTC/XMP tags, and you can read RAW files and save them to jpg, jpeg2000, gif, png, tiff. Contenta RAW Converter also offers many useful and unexpected features in addition to its file conversion capabilities. The app’s interface is both sleek and intuitive, with buttons which explain clearly the conversion process. However, if you need, there is a thorough, well-written Help file available. You can can select individual files or entire directories to convert.

If you edit an optimized image on your Mac, Photos downloads the RAW file for that image. • When Photos downloads a RAW image from iCloud Photos, it creates a new full-sized JPEG for optimal viewing on your Mac. It won't replace the RAW and embedded JPEG file already stored in iCloud.

After doing some reading/research all these packages come with the ACR plug-in, Elements and Lightroom are similarly priced, I don't know the features in each, I think the Lightroom 5 is more popular and it can perform noise reduction as well.

LR is a much more serious editing too, but the odd thing is, I spent considerable time with the application, and studied carefully the excellent (and large!) book Adobe has published on the application, and when I compared what I did with the simplified version of ACR against what I acheived with LR is confounded, as the results were almost always better. LR is more sophisticated, and certainly *feels* more sophisticated, but my own experience is a little confusing. It probably helped me in using the simple form that I had some experience with LR and carefully read Adobe's instructions. The one problem I see is that in the simple ACR, one never really knows what the 'base' or what the unaltered state is. This is a major thing they fixed in LR. Here, LR is a fraction of what it cost in the past. Because I run an antique Mac (the very, very first Intel Mac, 10.6.8) I can't run the version of LR that has the 'zero set points,' and without that, I had no interest in the preceding version.

The application lets you upload images to the Contenta’s server, where they can be viewed for up to a week by anyone that has access to the URL. Overall, Contenta RAW Converter is easy to use, has an intuitive interface and boasts some surprising post conversion options.

As it's not a DSLR the chances are not good: Apple have historically not issued many updates for P&S RAW support. I actually returned the camera and got a complete refund. Because i was able to open it's raw images with the software that came on the CD and i was completely shocked to how noisy the images were. As if applied a noise-filter in photoshop. Absolute insult. The jpg's were kinda bit noisy too and not as clear/ sharp but i thought well it's jpg-compression after all. Anyway, lesson learnt.
