D-Lux 3 Can't Access Raw Editor

Hi Everyone,

 

I have a D-Lux 3 and want to shoot RAW.

 

I have down loaded Adobe Camera Raw 3.6, unzipped it, and put it into the right place on my hard drive according to the directions on the Leica Website for use with Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0.

 

PROBLEM: But when I open a RAW file, the photo shows, but the RAW editor doesn't.

 

Also, I note that in the Photoshop Elements catalog is listed a "missing file" named

"Installation_RAW_Plug-in_en-2.tif". It then asks whether to find and reconnect this file or delete it from the catalog. Should this file be in the catalog? Should I do anything? Could this have something to do with my problem?

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

 

David

I get a similar thing occasionaly with M8 files on a Mac running CS3 - using the latest version of ACR. If Photoshop has been running for a while I sometimes start to get RAW files opening directly as images rather than opening in the RAW converter. In my case I find closing CS3 and then starting it again solves the problem. It's driving me batty.

 

This doesn't happen with CS3 running on a PC using XP.

Hi Everyone,

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I found the solution to the problem. I had been trying to open the picture as soon as I saw it in the Elements photo browser, but it turns out one has to move to the Photoshop Elements editor first and open it there. As soon as I did that the RAW editor window opened up just fine along with the picture.

 

Thanks again,

David

One other option is to run the Dlux RAW file through Adobe's DNG converter (available at the same place you got the updated Camera Raw). Not only does it convert the images to DNG format (which should open in Camera Raw), it cuts the file size in half with no degredation in quality.
