Adobe Embraces Latest Canon, Nikon, Sony SLRs

Adobe System beefed up Photoshop’s ability to treat raw images from the digital single lens reflex cameras of the three biggest names in digital photography. This is what Photoshop’s Camera Raw plug-in 4.6 aims to answer and photography enthusiasts see this as a great addition to Photoshop plugs.

The plug-in took slightly less than a month before it was released to the public. Testing and reconfiguration was done to make it work with some of the best DSLR models. The release of the plug-in now includes support for a wide range of camera including Canon’s new EOS Rebel XS for beginners, its brand-new midrange EOS 50D, Nikon’s newly released midrange D90 and full-frame D700, Pentax’s newest entry-level model, the K2000, and Sony’s high-end 24-megapixel full-frame Alpha A900.

Adobe Systems also released an upgraded version of the DNG Converter software. The application allows conversion of high memory eating images file into a friendlier and easier to handle DNG format (Adobe Digital Negative format).

The DNG Converter software now also supports several medium-format products from Leaf, the Aptus II 6 and 7 digital backs and AFi II 6 and 7 camera bodies. The Olympus SP-565 UZ, Sigma DP1, and the Nikon Coolpix P6000 and the rather rare model from Fujifilm FinePix IS Pro is now also being supported. Fujifilm FinePix IS Pro is the camera that is used for infrared photography.
