Other applications that can open BMP files include Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Photos, Apple Preview, Apple Photos, and ColorStrokes. Should you need to convert the BMP into a vector-based image, then consider using CorelDRAW. In addition to opening BMP files, many applications can be used to create them, such as Adobe Illustrator.

BMP opens readily in the Microsoft Paint application and is often associated with Microsoft operating systems.

How to open a BMP file?īMP can be device-dependent or independent. However, due to the lack of compression, BMP files are usually large. BMP is mostly used for digital publishing of photographs.

What I don’t understand is how professionals deal with this delay or sponsored photographers, as even during testing there must be software being used to read the raw files all before official release? Also, it must surely be in the manufacturer’s interests to have their equipment supported at launch to get early sales (if only with some basic, even temp, software like Olly at least did with mine albeit years ago).Bitmap (BMP) is a pixel-based file format that stores two-dimensional images, generally without any compression. Programs supporting the exension rw2 on the main platforms Windows, Mac, Linux or mobile. With my camera I think it seemed to be a few months to get supported by Adobe back then though I can’t really remember now as that was years ago I just waited till the then LR6 was released that supported it. Not a big problem really, just disappointing for those that buy a new camera that don’t know this beforehand like the OP. I was checking yesterday, just for interest, for a camera that came out last year just for the timing - seems to have taken them 3-4 mths for the raw support for that one. 11:57am So is this Software abandonware The devs are inactive here and dont reply to emails. It does not open RAW files from Panasonic (RW2) 2.

Hi Kirk - just trying 4.6 Beta 2 (Mac OS, 10.5.6) - Id been hoping that support for Panasonic RW2 files meant thered also be support for the (virtually identical) Leica DLux 4. I have the option meantime to consider other 3rd party software for the future. « Reply 4 on: February 15, 2009, 11:15:49 PM ». It seems nobody supports new camera immediately (although to be be fair Olly back then did provide their own software with the camera to allow the raw files to be read immediately). Knowing this is partly why I’m (still!) undecided whether to stick to Adobe or not in future. Had to them buy another later version of Lightroom (LR6) to be able to read the raw files (I had already taken time to learn about LR and so was “committed” somewhat to use it to justify buying it!). Already had bought LR, but discovered it didn’t support the camera I then bought which was the then latest model. I learnt the hard way about this problem a few ago when I got my current Olly camera. Surprised Panasonic don’t have some simple software supplied with the camera to allow support of raw files of their camera when they launch new models.
