Hello Ron,

The Panasonic TZ70 (also called ZS50 in most markets) certainly does display .RW2 files with that distinctive pink tinge in PhD5 with the 6312 patch applied. The camera was only released in April of this year.



As far as I can determine, there is no distortion of images. Perhaps you could attach one of the offending .RW2 files.

As you'd expect PhD6 displays the RAW files correctly.

I attach another actual file ... viewed full screen stretches the picture correctly but note the 'fringing' around the edges plus 'pink'.

Hope that there is a solution (other than a spend to upgrade!) since RW2 files are not new to Panasonic.

Thank you for that Ron.

True - RW2 isn't new, but camera companies continue to modify/improve their RAW formats.

Upgrading to PhD6 will help with the colour display, but not the unwanted extras around the edge.



Adobe LR doesn't even recognise it!

What lens were you using? The metadata says "Unknown Lens"

Oh well I can at least use Silkypix Raw software which actually does a good job though rather complex. Panasonic 'promote' this software for this camera. However, since I have a lot of Cyberlink product it would have been more useful to use this for pic editing . Not to worry, maybe Cyberlink will issue an update at some stage.

The lens is the standard camera zoom, unmodified. Don't know why matadata also does not recognise it ... maybe its down to being so new. It is a great small and quite powerful camera, ideal for travelling.

Thanks Pix for your interest.

Cheers Ron

Apologies for the file size that I uploaded ... couldn't work out how to reduce it. Obviously ZIP files do not make much of a difference to total size of pics. CYa Ron (W10/i5gen8/Nvidia)

I have the same issue (pink tint) with raw images from a Panasonic Lumix G7 (called G70 in Europe).

Running PHD5 build 6312.

Looks like its Silkypix for handling these Panasonic RAW files. Pity really but one could always do the jpg conversion and then any final mods within Cyberlink for any special features needed from programme.

Hello Ron and hellebauer,

I'm afraid the news isn't very good on the Panasonic G7/PhD front. I've just tried some RAW sample files in PhD5, PhD6 & PhD7 (all with the most recent updates) and none of them displays the .RW2s correctly. Here, you see the JPEG beside the RW2



Obviously Silkypix does a good job.

When such incompatibility issues arise, I report them to the team at CL. I'm unable to make any promises about whether PhD5 is likely to be patched, but I'll certainly let them know.

Thanks for testing this PIX.

Too bad about PhD7 having the same issues. Was just getting ready to install PhD7 trial. Not waiting around for a CL patch either...... off to try Lightroom.

Does PhotoDiretor 7 have any of these problems I shoot with a Nikon and take all my pictures in RAW.

Hello Wade -

That depends very much on the model of your Nikon. One of my cameras is a Nikon D5500 & PhD7 has no issues displaying RAW files. I've also tested various .NEF files from many Nikon cameras (D & Coolpix series), most of which display correctly.

CyberLink provides update patches for PhotoDirector to try to keep it compatible with the most recent camera releases. These are available from http://www.cyberlink.com/support/photodirector-ultra/patches_en_GB.html

If you can provide your camera details, a more definitive answer can be provided.
