Adobe has released new “release candidate” versions of their Camera Raw (ACR) Photoshop plug-in and their Lightroom image processing and management software. Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.7 add RAW support for a number of new digital cameras, including the Canon EOS Rebel T2i / 550D, Olympus E-PL1, Panasonic Lumix G2 and G10, and the Sony Alpha A450. The Lightroom 2.7 release candidate also increases the size of the RAW file cache and fixes a problem with the slideshow feature. ACR 5.7 includes an updated demosaic algorithm for compatibility with the upcoming release of Lightroom 3.
These “release candidate” updates aren’t finalized versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom. Per the announcements on the Adobe Labs Web site, ” The ‘release candidate’ label indicates that this update is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers.” The Lightroom 2.7 release candidate for Windows will remove Lightroom 2.6. So make sure you have a backup copy of Lifghtroom 2.6 before you install it.
Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 is available as a Photoshop CS4 plug-in or as a DNG converter. Camera Raw 5.7 and Lightroom 2.7 are both available for Mac and Windows.
