Adobe has posted updates to Photoshop® Lightroom™ and the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, both available immediately for download on Adobe.com. The updates provide raw file support for 14 additional camera models and camera backs within Lightroom and Camera Raw, including the popular Canon EOS 40D.
The camera raw functionality in the Adobe Photoshop software, including Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Elements, provides fast and easy access to the raw image formats produced by many leading professional and midrange digital cameras.
Working with these digital negatives allows greater artistic control
and flexibility while still maintaining the original raw files.
Lightroom and the Camera Raw plug-in also support the same
functionality for TIFF and JPEG files. Professional photographers can
now quickly and easily import and manipulate raw data from the latest
DSLR cameras, producing the highest quality results while saving time.
Lightroom 1.2 and the new Camera Raw 4.2 plug-in support 14 additional
digital cameras including the Canon EOS 40D; Fuji FinePix IS-1; Leaf
Aptus 17, 54s and 75s; Olympus EVOLT E-510; Panasonic DMC-FZ18; Pentax
K100D Super; Phase One P 20+, P 21+, P 25+, P 30+ and P 45+; and Sony
A700. Both updates also include improved noise reduction for Bayer
patterned sensors, providing better image detail at default noise
reduction values. The Lightroom update includes corrections to
Microsoft® Windows® Vista™ grid display errors and XMP auto-write
performance.
