terrycioni Posted November 25, 2006 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, Something interesting. I assumed the RAW file format between the Digilux 3 and the Panasonic L1 would be interchangable in Adobe Lightroom. Not the case, and I am surprised... Adobe says that Lightroom supports the Pansonic L1 but does not mention the Digilux 3.... and when I tried to load D3 RAW files into Lightroom it did not recognize them.... Any thoughts? Cheers.

Advertisement Posted November 25, 2006 Posted November 25, 2006 Hi terrycioni, Take a look here Digilux 3 RAW - Pansonic L1K RAW - Adobe Lightroom . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
spylaw4 Posted November 25, 2006 Share #2 Posted November 25, 2006 Are you using the latest Adobe camera RAW? 3.6 I think it's called. I think I had to install that to get Lightroom to recognise the trial RAW shots I took. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcmrc Posted November 25, 2006 Share #3 Posted November 25, 2006 Exact, in order to read D-Lux 3 Raw files you need the latest Camera RAW 3.6 installed in Lightroom. Also, C1 do not support the RAW files of D-Lux 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I had to install that to get Lightroom to recognise the trial RAW shots I took. Yes, I had the same thought and just to make sure re-downloaded ACR 3.6 without any success. It reads the L1 RAW files without any problem but not the Digilux 3 files. I can only assume that there is something different between these two twins RAW files (Genetics who knows?) Cheers. Terry.

spylaw4 Posted November 25, 2006 Share #7 Posted November 25, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) That's strange Terry, Next point - are you using the Beta4 of Lightroom? I checked just now to make sure and the 4 RAW files I took on a D3 on a dealer day are definitely in Lightroom! Obscure maybe - but are you on a PC or a Mac? Could be a slight difference between Lightroom versions. Also try converting the RAWs to DNGs (Adobe converter) and see if that works. Let us know.

I am using a Mac Beta 4.1 lightroom - just re-downloaded it to make sure and still no luck. I have not tried the Adobe converter but will try that for sure. This is where I wish Leica would have choosen DNG for the D3 as they did for the M8. No such luck. Cheers. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrycioni Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share #9 Posted November 25, 2006 Brian, Thanks for the tip. I used the Adobe DNG converter program and that worked nicely. It converted the D3 RAW files to DNG. Lightroom likes them..... I will keep plugging at getting the RAW files into Lightroom. Cheers. Terry. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevez4 Posted November 25, 2006 Share #10 Posted November 25, 2006 Also try converting the RAWs to DNGs (Adobe converter) and see if that works. Let us know. Thank you I've had the same problem with my IMac, Lightroom Beta 4, and DigiLux 3 raw files. I'll try the Adobe Converter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted November 26, 2006 Share #11 Posted November 26, 2006 Glad it worked! Though why I could get a RAW in and you can't is a mystery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Larsen Posted November 6, 2008 Share #12 Posted November 6, 2008 I am trialing a Leica D-Lux 4 ... I tried to import Leica RAW images into Lightroom 2.1 and LR could not "see" the RAW files (only the jpegs)... is there an inherent incompatibility here? has anyone got some advice?

John Thawley Posted November 6, 2008 Share #13 Posted November 6, 2008 Glad it worked! Though why I could get a RAW in and you can't is a mystery. It is strange as the RAW converters on a Mac are supposed run at the OS level. I'm using Aperture... and have had no problems reading my Digilux 3 files whatsoever.

Lightroom/Photoshop don't currently support raw files from the camera. You need to wait for the ACR update from Adobe. The Dpreview of the Panasonic version of the camera had screen shots showing they were using a beta of ACR 5.2, so it shouldn't be too far off. I'd expect the Leica support to arrive at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect the Leica support to arrive at the same time. And likely require an upgrade to CS4 to use ACR 5.2. As much as I'd like to get away from Capture One, I'm going to hold out against Adobe's extortion for as long as possible. Here's hoping Apple delivers Aperture/OSX support in the near term. Jeff.

stunsworth Posted November 6, 2008 Share #16 Posted November 6, 2008 And likely require an upgrade to CS4 to use ACR 5.2 Maybe, but you could always run them through the free Adobe DNG Converter, which I'd expect to be updated at the same time.

miami91 Posted November 6, 2008 Share #17 Posted November 6, 2008 Maybe, but you could always run them through the free Adobe Raw Converter, which I'd expect to be updated at the same time. Which would convert them to DNG? That's a good idea. I've never used this tool. Does it have a batch function? Jeff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your question has been answered twice now Ken. A third time isn't really necessary, is it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
