the mystery of RAW

[back alley]

i got it working.
i went to the adobe site, dl camera raw 5 (i think) and followed the instructions.
i then tried a raw shot from the rd1 and it opened in pse. however a raw shot from the g1 did not open.

Can you run the update now?

Here's the list of cameras that the current version of raw supports. I could not find the G1 listed. http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html

it's there but...
** There is an important exception in our DNG file handling for the Panasonic DMC LX3, Panasonic DMC FX150, Panasonic DMC FZ28, Panasonic DMC-G1 and Leica D-LUX 4. For those choosing to convert these native, proprietary files to the DNG file format, a linear DNG format is the only conversion option available at this time. A linear DNG file has gone through a demosaic process that converts a single mosaic layer of red, green and blue channel information into three distinct layers, one for each channel. The resulting linear DNG file is approximately three times the size of a mosaic DNG file or the original proprietary file format.

Open the RAW files with Lightroom- use it to 'develop' them, then export them as TIFFs and use PSE if you like it for the rest. The controls over the image you have when opening a RAW or DNG are much better than anything PS does to a jpg.
