November 26, 2008: Adobe has released Version 5.2 of its Camera Raw and DNG Converter plug-ins for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.
The latest version, which is only compatible with Adobe Creative Suite 4 (including Photoshop CS4), Photoshol Elements 6 and 7 and Premiere Elements 4 and 7, includes support for the following recently-released cameras: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon PowerShot G10, Panasonic DMC-G1, Panasonic DMC-FX150, Panasonic DMC-FZ28, Panasonic DMC LX3 and Leica D-LUX 4. In addition, Adobe has updated Camera Profiles, which are now available natively within Camera Raw 5.2 and DNG Converter 5.2. Camera profiles provide the visual starting-point for photographers using a raw processing workflow. Adobe supplies different styles of profiles while also providing the ability for customisation.
Aside from expanded camera support, the new Camera Raw update provides several new enhancements to user adjustments. They include a new Targeted Adjustment Tool for on-image refinements and output sharpening for print or screen output. Users can also create a snapshot of all adjustments made to an image as a bookmark for future reference. Camera Raw 5.2 is available for downloading at www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/. The Adobe DNG Converter 5.2 is also available today as a free download at www.adobe.com/dng.
