April 6, 2010: Adobe has made Release Candidate versions of its Lightroom 2.7, Photoshop Camera Raw 5.7 and DNG Converter 5.7 available for immediate download on the Adobe Labs website.
The term ø¢â‚¬Ëœrelease candidate’ indicates the updates are well tested but would benefit from additional community testing. Adobe encourages photographers to try out the newly added raw file support in these updates and provide the product team with feedback so they can create the highest quality experience for customers working on a variety of hardware and software configurations. The updates add raw file support for nine new popular camera models, including the Canon EOS 550D, Sony A450 and Olympus E-PL1.
The Lightroom 2.7 Release Candidate is available as a free download for Lightroom 2 customers, and the Photoshop Camera Raw 5.7 Release Candidate is available as a free download for Photoshop CS4 customers. The DNG Converter 5.7 Release Candidate is also available as a free download for all customers. Click here for more information and to test out the updates: http://labs.adobe.com/.
