Alongside its announcements of updated versions of Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements yesterday, Adobe released another updated piece of software that didn't get a press release.
Adobe Camera Raw 3.2 adds raw file support for 13 cameras from six companies, two of them using Adobe's own DNG format. With this update, Adobe Camera Raw now supports a rather impressive 91 cameras from 15 companies.
Newly supported models in Camera Raw 3.2 include: - Panasonic DMC-LX1, DMC-FZ30
- Hasselblad H2D (DNG)
- Konica Minolta Alpha Sweet Digital (Japan) / Alpha-5 Digital (China) / Maxxum 5D (USA) / Dynax 5D (Europe)
- Leaf Valeo 17, Aptus 22
- Leica D-Lux 2, Digital-Modul-R (DNG)
- Nikon D2Hs, D70s, D50, Coolpix 8400, Coolpix 8800
Owners of the Nikon D2X digital camera will be pleased to note that Camera Raw also now understands that camera's "As Shot" white balance, which is encrypted in the .NEF raw file. This support comes courtesy of an agreement between Nikon and Adobe to cooperate in the best interests of their users.
Adobe Camera Raw 3.2 is available for Windows and Macintosh computers as a free download, and requires either Adobe Creative Suite 2, Photoshop CS2, or Photoshop Elements 3.0 to function.
