I tried to use the Lightroom 6 (with the 6.14 update) that came with my typ 109, but it wouldn't even display the D-Lux 7 images at all. Is there any decent photo-editing software that can read these RAW/RWL files?

Try Adobe DNG Convertor 11.0

Should give you DNGs which will work with Lightroom.

Seems like there is a bug with Lightroom (link below) but DNG Converter 11.0.0.61 for Mac works fine on RWL files out of the D-Lux 7. Produces DNG files that can be opened by Apple Preview, Capture One 12, ON1 2019, Raw Photo Processor 64, RawTherapee 5.2.0, Silkypix 7, Silkypix 8 and probably other raw converters.

I just got the d-lux 7! I'm still on Lightroom 6, and am trying to avoid getting the subscription. So is the black and white problem an issue in Lightroom 6, rather than the DNG converter?

I tried DNG Converter 11.0.0.61 on Windows 7, and indeed Lightroom 6 only shows black and white.

Edit: I solved it myself, wooo. I tried DNG Converter 12.4 (still works on my old Windows 7 machine), and now it imports correctly into Lightroom 6. Here's the download: https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=6975&fileID=7023

Here's the list with all other versions, if people want to play around: https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=106&platform=Windows.

I have a new D-Lux 7 and LR Classic 10 with my subscription that includes Photoshop ($9.95/mo).   There are no issues with importing .RWL files in color.  The only quirky thing is when the lens correction box is checked it just says that it is using the Leica internal lens profile.  There are no lenses listed in the typical way.  FWIW it really doesn't seem to do much in the way of correcting anything, but I suppose that's a good thing.  

I've been working on the .RWL images in both LR & PS which converts them to TIFF files when exported back to LR.  The .RWL files are generally very good right out of the camera and usually only need a few tweaks here and there.

I have a new D-Lux 7 and I use showFoto to import .RWL files and save them as PNG files. PNG is lossless so unlike JPEG or JPG files, there is no contamination between pixels. You can then load the file into your favourite image editor. showFoto has its own image editor if you want to do something a bit more drastic.

Anyone here know - Difference between Convert and Extract .RWL when converting them to .DNG on the DNG Converter?

The Extract option is for extracting original raw files embedded in dng files. To convert rwl files, you may wish to choose the Convert option instead.
