Problem opening Samsung NX1100 SRW files in CS6 and Lightroom 4

I bought a Samsung NX1100 and want to shoot in Raw format. My CS6 Bridge and Photoshop will not open the SRW files though. I downloaded the lightroom 4 that came with the camera and that will not read the SRW files either. How do I access my SRW files?

I'm having much the same problem, except I'm shooting with an EX2F. I've tried reinstalling CS6 (I have extended) and updating to the latest patches, but no go. Photoshop and Bridge can see the files, but cannot open them or draw thumbnails for them. I have also tried installing the latest version of Adobe DNG converter, I get the same result with this.

I'm on a Macbook Pro, lastest OS with latest updates.

I saw on another thread somewhere that changing the file extension from .SRW to .CRW is the fix. I tried this with a couple of files but again I am still unable to open the files.

Apparently there's a raw converter for Samsung cameras but I haven't been able to find it. which is available on the Samsung website NX200 - DOWNLOADS | SUPPORT | SAMSUNG I don't know if it converts to JPG or another RAW format yet. Hopefully the link doesn't get wiped and it's useful to someone else.

EDIT: Looks like it's a standalone RAW developer. It only outputs jpg or TIFF.

The EX2F Has been supported in Lightroom since version 4.2, and in Camera Raw since 7.2. If you truly have the current version of Camera Raw installed, and if you have Lightroom 4.2 or newer, your files should be supported. And the DNG converter should work as well. Can you tell me exactly what error messages you are receiving?

Thanks, @ccastleb The files are too big for posting here. I've never needed to use Dropbox so hopefully this works: Dropbox - SAM_0051.SRW

Uncompressed, straight from camera.

@JimHess Yes I am also unable to open in DNG Converter 8.4

How frustrating. I'm having the same problem with the Panasonic LX7. Slightly different in that in Finder I can see a thumbnail for each RW2 file and can even preview each file with OSX Preview. DNG Converter refuses to convert them and Camera Raw also doesn't know what to do with them. The LX7 is brand new and there are no firmware updates available for it.

Here's a sample file: Dropbox - P1000005.RW2

I'd like to be able to shoot in raw on both of these cameras. JPG is great and all for the kind of photos I'm just sharing on the web, but if I want to make a print I'd like to have the flexibility of raw.
