Raw support for Olympus EM1X

[nickb26663481]

I am using Lightroom classic 6.14 with camera Raw 10.1, I have been using it for processing Raw files from my Olympus OMD EM1 mark 2 very nicely.  I just got an Olympus OMD EM1X and my version of Lightroom doesn't read the RAW files.  The product updater says that it is up tp date and I have tried installing the latest camera raw version (11.3) but despite apparently successfully installing on my Windows 10 laptop, Lightroom hasn't changed.

Does anyone know how to get RAW support for EM1X cameras in Lightroom 6?

The last update to LR 6 (perpetual version) was in December 2017 and there will be no further updates. So it does not have raw support for any camera models issued after Dec 2017.

There are a couple of options available

a. Upgrade to the subscription version of Lightroom Classic.

b. Use the Adobe DNG Converter to convert your raw files to DNG format and then import the dng files into LR 6.14.

c. Use the raw software application from Olympus and converter the raw files to tiff format and import into LR 6.14.

As mentioned above there are no further updates available for Lightroom 6. Updating Camera Raw (I presume you have Photoshop) applies only to Photoshop where ACR is a plugin. For Lightroom ACR is integrated into the application so to update means the whole Lightroom app gets updated.

Denis did give the options...

• Update to Lightroom Classic subscription for the latest version always
• Use the free DNG converter and convert the files to DNG and import (not a bad option)
• Use another app as mentioned to make TIFFs but that would be long and with duplicates

For the record, the EM1X was first supported in Lightroom Classic 8.2

As the others have said, you'll have to either upgrade or use the DNG converter.
