There is also a Digital Software and Post Processing forum.

I know nothing about the RAW file from a Panasonic or how it is handled by LR.

The biggest feature of LR is its cataloging and sorting which is excellent.

It is a real good RAW converter for the file types I use (Sony) with many presets and options.

The editing in LR is non-destructive which is the way to go if it does what you want.

They have a 30 day free trial - try it.
