opening RAW files

grahamj5551622  wrote I have Elements 13. I've just bought a Panasonic TZ90 but unable to open RAW images despite downloading latest updates. How can I open them please?

Each camera model comes with its own raw format.

FAQ: Will Photoshop Elements work with my camera, or Why won't my raw files open?

You would need Elements 15 to open the files directly.

So, you can either:

- use the raw converter supplied with your camera and send a tiff format file to the Elements Editor

- Pay the upgrade to Elements 15 (or wait for a new version expected in September or October). You may find PSE15 for less than the upgrade price from big resellers. You can download a trial version of Elements 15 which is valid 30 days.

- or download the free DNGconverter software mentioned in the above faq. It's an independent software which can batch convert a whole folder of your raw files to the DNG universal raw format that your PSE13 can read and edit. A step more, but free.
