Hi All,

I recently purchased the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000 and the raw files are proving a problem for me, what i would like to know from anyone who can help me is, does the new Photoshop Elements 2018 support these files, i use standalone PS elements 11 and LR 6

Many thanks to you all

Jacky

Cameras supported by Camera Raw

The FZ1000 was first supported in Camera Raw 8.6 (the plugin used by Photoshop to open Raw files) and Lightroom 5.6.

So LR6 will open and import those Raw files.

Elements 11 (PSE 11) is a different story.

The Camera Raw 8.6 plugin is only compatible with Elements 13 and later. So PSE11 will never be able to open those FZ1000 Raw files. It's simply too old and outdated. Elements 2018 can open FZ1000 Raw files.

    Hi John,

    Thank you for your reply, Both my PS & LR are up to date and the LR6 wont bring in at all, I think i may just have to upgrade to the PS Elements 2018.

    Have a good day and thanks again
