Elements 11 and RW2 files

[mike21]

I have Elements 11 and have just purchased a Lumix FZ72 camera, a current model. Elements 11 will not open the RW2 RAW files it produces, what do I need to do?

I don't use Elements or have a camera but I think you need to download this

Thanks.I have downloaded the converter-256Mb, but it seems to be just applicable to various versions of Photoshop and Lightroom - presumably there is a specific plug-in for Elements so that it automatically opens RW2 files

Thanks. I find that the latest plugin for Elements 11 was issued in 2013, and as the camera is later than that there is a newer plugin for it, but unfortunately it is not compatible with Elements 11 although it is with later versions. of Elements. I have installed the free program Raw Therapee, which does display the RW2 images, but is not intuitive and the displayed images have a peculiar hue. I think I shall stick to jpegs.
