need help with raw files

hello my camera is Leica D-LUX 2 and i cant open raw files. any advice?

my imac is 20" with os x 10.4.9

What is the file format of those RAW files? If Apple hasn't come out with the built-in support for them yet, you might have to use a third-party app to open them. Doesn't your camera come with a program that makes it possible to convert the RAW to tif or .jpg? I know my Canon does so it has to be the same for you, I would guess.

its a .raw files the camera came with photoshop elements 3

If you mean the Leica Digilux 2, it's one of the digital cameras Aperture lists as being supported so chances are it is built-in the OS.

Other than that, use Elements in this case if you can't get it to work.

hello mac. my camera is the D-Lux 2 here is a link http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Leica/leica_dlux2.asp i tried to find a trial version of the adobe photoshop elements but i couldnt.

my camera raw files is now supported with the new update. thank you for your help

Oh yeah! I saw the update brought added RAW file format support among other stuff and I wondered if your camera would be in them.

Cool!

yes now i have to work on the jvc everio

If I did own a camera that was not yet supported (RAW files support) I would convert them to DNG files which would be read the same by PSCS, Lightroom, Aperture, or any other program.

What a nice camera !
