i cannot believe how difficult this is...i just want to take a stills from the gh5 and transfer over to lightroom 6...none of the raw files are accepted...how hard can this be? what about a drag and drop? what am i missing?

You say Lightrrom 6 but you need at least Lightroom 6.9 to import GH5 raw files to Lightroom - is that the version you are using?

Hi

You do not say what version of Photoshop and Camera Raw you are using.

The GH5 needs camera raw 9.9 to open its raw files. If you have Photoshop CC that should not be an issue. Use the CC desktop application to check for updates and check you have the latest camera raw version

If you have an older version of Photoshop (e.g. CS6) then you cannot use the latest version of camera raw. Instead you will need to use the DNG converter to convert the raw files to DNG which can then be opened in camera raw.

Digital Negative (DNG), Adobe DNG Converter | Adobe Photoshop CC
