RAW2 files (Panasonic/ Lumix) and Lightroom 5.7
Oct 28, 2020 13:27:09 #
I received a new Lumix GX-85 with RAW2 capability but I my Lightroom 5.7 doesn't open these files.
Any ideas?, I'm trying to avoid to switch to cloud options with monthly fees.
Does Luminar open these kind of RAW2 ?
Any help will be very appreciated !!

Download the free Adobe DNG converter: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/adobe-dng-converter.html
Convert your Lumix raw files to DNG and LR 5.7 will open them.

I use a couple Panasonic cameras. Lightroom Classic via subscription works fine with the ARW raw files.
If you are absolutely destitute broke, use the DNG converter. It is very good at batch converting all you ARW files to DNG files compatible with LR 5.7.
The improvements that have come from a subscription model are worth it. Find something else to not spend the $10 on each month!

If you've happily used LR5 since 2014 ish, you'd probably be happy to note how savvy a photographer you've been all these years, easily $840 ahead of where you'd be if you'd subscribed to software you didn't need since 2014. ($120 purchase in 2014 + (6 yrs x $120 subscription)).
The DNG converter runs quick in batch on top of being free. However, I've found the converted DNGs a bit less easy to edit than the direct 'supported' RAW files. The DNGs give you an option to consider without being 'forced' to buy new software along with your new camera. Use the trial periods for any candidate software to evaluate whether you want to change to direct support or just continue to use the DNGs.
Finally, be sure to retain the original RAW files along with converted DNGs. That way if / when you move to software that supports the RAW directly, you'll have those original RAW files available along with the DNG-edited versions, should you need access to the original RAW.

Does this mean that Adobe do not support LR5? or does the OP need to request an update to edit RW2 files, which have been around since 2008?

Lightroom 5 has become Lightroom Classic and is up to version 13.

By your math Paul, if I reduced my beer and coffee consumption by only 25% and spent it on Lightroom/Photoshop, I would be a few hundred ahead. If I went for 50% I could by a camera too.

Made a mistake. Lightroom Classic is at version 10, not 13. It is ACR that is inside of LR Classic that is at version 13.

Looks like version 6.6 of the perpetual Lightroom is needed.
