The latest Adobe raw file conversion plug-ins, Camera Raw 8.4 and DNG Converter 8.4 are now available as final releases for Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC.
Updates to Camera Raw 8 for Photoshop CS6 only include new camera support, lens profile support, and bug fixes. DNG Converter 8.4 is provided for customers using versions of Photoshop older than Photoshop CS6. Adobe advises customers that Camera Raw 8.4 and DNG Converter 8.4 will not work on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OSX 10.6. Impacted customers can either update to compatible operating system or continue to use Camera Raw 8.3 for Photoshop CS6. Photoshop CS6 customers on Windows 7, Windows 8, Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion), Mac OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or Mac OSX 10.9 (Mavericks) will not be impacted and will continue to receive updated camera support through future ACR 8.x dot releases.
This release of Camera Raw 8.4 provides new features including new preview controls, red eye correction for pets and updates to Local Corrections – but only to users of Photoshop CC.
