I have W10, Elements 2018, Camera Raw 10.3.0.933

Lightroom 3.6

According to this: helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html

I need 

CameraRaw image filename extensionCamera matching profile availableMinimum Camera Raw plug-in version requiredMinimum Lightroom version requiredMinimum Lightroom Classic version requiredMinimum Lightroom Perpetual version required
LUMIX DMC-LX100RW2Yes8.715.75.7

 

Any thoughts on why and what I can do to fix it? 

Previously you could download and updated file with the camera profiles in.

TIA

Yeah, but by working with such an ancient version of Lightroom you are missing out on all the improvements and new tools that have been added. However, that is your choice.

I don't see the LX100  M2 on the list of supported cameras. Each specific model must be individually supported, so that model evidently has yet to be added. Since you are using an older version of Photoshop Elements that would seem to indicate that you will probably have to upgrade to the latest version in order to get an update to Camera Raw that will support the camera when it becomes available.

 

And if the Lightroom 3.6 you are using is the really old Lightroom 3.6 then when the DNG converter is finally updated to support your camera model you could use it to create DNG copies that your version of Lightroom could handle.

Well, after being told I needed to upgrade both Lightroom and Elements, I don't. 

The answer is to install the Adobe DNG convertor for W10 for free, suck in the RW2 files, and drop out DNG files, which PSE 2018 accepts without any problem.

Also works with Lightroom v 3.6 as well, so I appear to be sorted.

When you use File>Open or File>Open in Camera Raw in the pse 2018 editor, do you get an error message or....?

 

You have the LX100 and not the LX100 II?

Hi,

It says PSE can't open this file. Make sure you have the lastest Camera Raw Update installed via Updates help...

When I do that it only looks at PSE Premiere, which is the video one, which suggests that Camera Raw is up to date.
