Photoshop Elements, Chromatic Aberration - how to open a RAW photo I first fixed in Silky Pix
I have a Panasonic LUMIX LX100 - some photos are getting extreme chromatic aberration. I decided to try the included Silky Pix editing software, and was able to get rid of the color fringe, but then I don't know how to open it in Elements' ACR to continue editing it. It may be a question for a Panasonic forum, but maybe someone here has had this experience. Elements' version of ACR doesn't have the chromatic aberration adjustment the professional Photoshop program has....

By now you have probably found which RAW format your Panasonic utilizes. In Adobe elements there is not a pluggin for RAW (directly) unless you load a pluggin like drivers that already come in a Photoshop. But in regular Photoshop you (probably found out) there is a RAW pluggin, and the file format for your Panasonic is RW2 or RWL which is what you'd look for in its converter-pluggin. Your converter will ask what you are converting from (RW2) and then what you want to convert to (TIFF). The correct format to convert to is an uncompressed format like TIFF instead of a JPG or PDF. JPG will render the file useless as it compresses nearly 90%. As for PDF there are several types of PDF (PDF-JPG, PDF-GIF, PDF not compressed) and your file would not convert to PDF easily or directly. Convert to TIFF so you won't lose any of its pixels and then you can edit like RAW (TIFF) once the photo gets into Photoshop. Then you can save it in a compress file if that's the way you want it. Each camera has its own RAW file format, Nikon is NEF, Canon is CRW or CR2. Each will convert to TIFF in a regular Photoshop. Adobe has already heard complaints concerning no pluggins for RAW in Elements.

You sound like you already know about file formats, but if you want a list of them, we have that on my own company website page noted below. Check them out. They're a good lesson and good to know them. Also, I teach these for Adobe. Happy computing.
