New feature in Camera Raw 8.4

I absolutely LOVE the new before/after comparison feature in ACR 8.4! Just why did this take so long?

If you're referring to the Process version, you set that in the Camera Calibration tab of ACR.
Also keep in mind that any images with prior adjustments will show the Process used when they were adjusted.  That can also be changed in that tab.

  • New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.

    New Nikon Df camera RAW files not recognized in Bridge and Photoshop.  Is there a fix?  Surely Adobe make a mistake and not keep up with Nikon.

    I looked at the current list http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html and did not see the Nikon DF listed.
    Would post in ACR forum and see if they know anything more.  http://forums.adobe.com/community/cameraraw

  • Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    Are there new updates for camera raw for Lightroom 4, or only for Lightroom 5, as in 5.3 ?

    There will be no further camera support updates for Lightroom 4 beyond what is already listed in this table.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    Only current versions of Lightroom (currently Lightroom 5.3) will have further camera support added.
    If you need to work with Raw files from new cameras you'll either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or join the Photoshop Photography Program (to get PC CC + LR5 + extras) or convert to DNG using Adobe's free DNG converter.

  • Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?

  • How do I apply a new version of camera raw to lightroom 2

    How do I apply a new version of camera raw to Light room 2. My operating system is windows 7

    Adobe Camera Raw is built-in to Lightroom and is not a "plugin" that is upgraded separately.  To upgrade to a new version of Camera Raw, you need to upgrade to a new version of LR.  You can see the latest version of LR here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows . You can download and upgrade to the latest version of LR 2 (2.7, from 4/2010) for free.  But if you want later versions of Camera Raw, you'll need to buy a new version of LR.

  • Filmstrip feature in camera raw 9.0

    I'm using Photoshop 6 extended in a windows 8.1 environment.  I updated to camera raw 9.0.  I'm trying to use the panorama feature and selected a number of images in bridge and opened them in camera raw.  the filmstrip feature at the left side of the camera raw screen did not open.  the selected images appeared on the left side of the camera raw screen under the heading "select all" and "synchronize".  how do I get the filmstrip feature to show?

    The Filmstrip panel is showing in your screenshot.
    Photoshop cs6 can use camera raw 9, but doesn't include any of the new features such as panorama or hdr that photoshop cc and photoshop cc 2014 get.
    The camera raw 9 for photoshop cs6 only gets new camera support, lens profile support, and bug fixes.

  • Missing features in Camera Raw 8.1

    I have just purchased and installed Photoshop CC. It should come shipped with a fully loaded Camera Raw 8.1 but mine is missing the Advanced healing brush and Upright tool. Despite 3 hours on online chat and the telephone with Adobe support none of 3 different agents could come up with a reason ar a solution to the problem. Does anyone out there have any ideas?
    malcatglos

    Did you do a check for updates?
    From within photoshop cc, Help>Updates
    If you go to Help>System Info from within photoshop cc, what version of camera raw does it list?

  • Elements 11 accepts no *.arw files even after new installation and camera raw modul 7.4. Under open files as Camera Raw the *.arw file is listed.

    After trying all options provided by Adope I cannot open *.arw files under Elements 11.

    You need camera raw 8.3 for your camera. It is only compatible with PSE12 or PSE13. Alternatively, download and install the free Adobe DNG converter to convert your raw files to the Adobe universal Raw format and the files will open in all versions of PSE (keep your originals as backups and for use in the camera manufactures software)
    Windows download (.exe file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    Mac download (.dmg file) click here DNG Converter 8.3
    You can convert a whole folder of raw images in one click. See this quick video tutorial:

  • **NEW TODAY** Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.4

    ...just do a "System Update" to get it the easy way!
    *http://support.apple.com/downloads/DigitalCamera_Raw_Compatibility_Update_24?sr=hotnews*
    About Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 2.4
    This update extends RAW file compatibility for Aperture 2 and iPhoto 08 for the following cameras:
    * *Canon EOS 5D Mark II*
    * Canon PowerShot G10
    * Pentax K2000/K-m
    * Leaf AFi-II 6
    * Leaf AFi-II 7
    * Leaf Aptus-II 6
    * Leaf Aptus-II 7
    * Leica M8.2
    It also addresses issues related to specific cameras and overall stability.

    The thing is that neither Photoshop nor Aperture are able to read these files (regardless if shot with sraw or normal raw (full format)).
    Do you have any other tips on how I can read these files?

  • "Upright" Content Awareness in Camera Raw 8 / Photoshop CC

    One of the new features in Camera Raw 8, which will ship with Photoshop CC, is the ability for the software to "see" converging lines in your image and try to straighten things up for you, compensating for perspective issues / wide angle lenses, etc.
    It offers various choices, including an "Automatic" mode that almost always makes distorted things look better without taking the corrections to extremes.  It actually works pretty well.  Some screen grabs to illustrate...
    A photo taken with an extreme wide angle lens in a hotel.
    Off: As shot, with no correction
    Auto:  Balanced perspective correction to make things look better without going to extremes.
    Vertical:  Make all converging lines absolutely vertical, even to the point where the image does not fit within the frame.  Note that the Transform controls can be used to make it fit at the loss of more of the image.  Also note that if it doesn't fit, the image is opened as a layer with transparency in the place where we see the checkered background in the preview, so conceivably you could use Content Aware Fill or cloning to fill it in.
    Some additional examples...
    As shot:
    Auto:
    Horizontal only:
    Vertical Only:
    Vertical with some added distortion to fit the frame:
    Full Horizontal and Vertical:
    Horizontal and Vertical, plus negative scaling so you can easily see how the image has been distorted:
    I toyed with the idea of making the [A] (Auto) my Camera Raw default, and that has merit as it really does improve most photos.  It will, for example, level most horizons (especially water).  But in the end I chose to leave it off and just know it's there so that if I have a troublesome image I can get a quick correction by clicking one of the buttons.
    I'd say this feature is pretty slick.

  • Camera raw doesn't work on my new CS 6 ( offline computer )!

    I have two weeks new, original Photoshop CS6 and today my Camera Raw has stopped working. I have a computer offline and it showed me a message to install a new plugin for Camera Raw. How do I get it? I paid about 3000 PLN and my program does not work! What's going on? why so making it difficult for people to live? is that I do not have access to the internet and not install stupid plugins means that I gave money away, and my job is to be in place by your policy? THIS IS NOT OKAY.

    I am not sure why you were blocked from using ACR when you were online and didn’t update.  You should be able to just close any updates message and continue on with your work, but I am not predominantly offline to know what happens.
    However, there is a Preferences button in the Adobe Application Manager, the thing that starts up when you use PS / Help / Updates… and perhaps automatically if you’ve been offline for an extended period, to indicate which things to check for updates for.  Just uncheck the ones you don’t want to have automatically check for. 
    It usually takes a few moments for the Updates… menu item to become active in the Help menu after starting up PS, so wait a minute to give it time.  I don’t know what it does if you are offline, though, it may never become active.
    If not, then try starting the AAM manually by running the PDApp.exe program on a 64-bit Windows, from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\pdapp.exe
    This is what I have after installing PS-CC on my computer, so maybe your app name is different since you don't have CC, but at least try running this if the Help / Updates... never becomes active when you're offline.
    If Updates… doesn’t become active when you’re offline, then you might want to create a shortcut to this program somewhere to more easily get to it and tweak things as needed.  It’d think you’d want to enable updates when you planned to be online and have time to do them so disabling the PDApp, entirely, probably isn’t a good idea.
    Here is what I see when I look at the AAM preferences, where the Camera Raw checkboxes are at the bottom.
    I have PSE11, PS-CS6 and PS-CC 14.2 all installed so have multiple camera-raw plug-in update rows, and I think Camera Raw 7 is the one for CS6 even though it is technically ACR 8.x, so you may only have that one:

  • Cannot Use Camera Raw out of LightRoom 4

    Below is a lengthy dialogue that I just had with Tech Support via Chat regarding accessing Camera Raw directly out of LightRoom 4.  The end result is that it can't be done.  LightRoom 4 has it's own "Develop" section and if you try to "Edit in: PhotoShop 6" the RAW image will bypass Camera Raw and open directly into PhotoShop.  Something that I was surprised at and frustrated by.  I thought for sure I was missing somehting.
    I do not recommend buying LightRoom other than a means of "organizing" our images.  I simply use Bridgne and am able to open a Canon "CR2" Raw file directly into Camera Raw and then after making my adjustments directly into PhotoShop.  LightRoom lacks Layers, Paths and Channels and a host of other wonderful adjustment / manipulation capabilites not found in LightRoom.
    So, if you are like me and want to use Camera Raw prior to going to PhotoShop then LightRoom will not get you there.  I spent a tremendous amount of time researching it thinking I must be missing something and then I contacted Support via Chat and we went through changing %AppData%, which only resulted in me losing all my PhotoShop Preferences!  A total waste of the Technician's time and mine.
    I share the below chat with you only to show you the ludicrous amount of time wasted when the answer remains the same:  YOU CANNOT ACCESS CAMERA RAW DIRECTLY OUT OF LIGHTROOM 4
    Thank you for choosing Adobe. A representative will be with you shortly. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 3 second(s) or longer as there are 1 customer(s) in line ahead of you.
    You are now chatting with 'Soumyadeep'
    Soumyadeep: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    Soumyadeep: Hi Fred!
    Fred: Hi there my friend. I am trying to use Lightroom 4, but frankly am not happy with the way it handles RAW files.
    Fred: I cannot open a Canon ".cr2" RAW file directly into Camera Raw from LightRoom.
    Soumyadeep: I have received your query. Please allow me a moment to verify your account and to review the details of your request.
    Fred: Thanks. I have also gone through all of the information I can find in the "Help Menu" looking up everything. Can't find a thing on LightRoom 4. I did not have this problem with Lightroom 3.
    Fred: The RAW file that it references is "DNG".
    Soumyadeep: I understand that you are unable to preview cr2 raw images in Lightroom 4, am I correct?
    Fred: No, I can preview it, but when i want to open it the only choice I am given is CS6. I cannot open it into Camera Raw and it actually choses a completely different and inappropriate plug in from NIK Software.
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for confirming.
    Fred: I know I can change that in the "Prefernces" in Lightroom 4 but I can't find Camera Raw to select as the choice.
    Soumyadeep: I will be glad to assist you with this.
    Soumyadeep: May I have the serial number of the product please?
    Fred: I just checked again and it is set to a NIK Software plugin as an external software to open the file.
    Fred: Yes, let me get it for you.

    Fred: OK, how can I easily get the bloody serial number for you?
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I have locate the serial number in your Adobe account.
    Soumyadeep: Once you login to the Adobe account, click on "My products" under the "My products and services".
    Soumyadeep: There you can locate the serial number which you have registered.
    Fred: OK, so you don't need it now. It isn't in a format that I can copy and paste.
    Fred: 116040070815784336099081
    Soumyadeep: Since it was registered in your Adobe account we can get the information from there.
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for the serial number.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I would like to inform you that all the raw edit options you will get in Lightroom develop module.
    Fred: I hope I copied it correctly it is presented so small.
    Fred: OK, just a second.
    Fred: So, I go to "Develop" it will open in Camera Raw 7.01?
    Fred: Frankly, this is the reason that I have just been using Bridge is because of the seemingly lack of coherent connection between LightRoom 4 and PhotoShop CS6.
    Soumyadeep: I would like to inform you that you will not have any separate camera raw plugins for Lightroom. Since Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
    Fred: At least I can open into Camera Raw and make the necessary adjustments and it will load in to PhotoShop.
    Fred: OK, then why when opening a "RAW" image out of LightRoom does it go directly to CS6 bypassing Camera Raw?
    Fred: Not allowing all of the wonderful adjustment toos, particularly the new ones in Camera Raw. I just don't understand the disconnect.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know which product you are referring as  "CS6"?
    Fred: If I had wanted to process all my images in LightRoom I would not have wasted my money on CS6. Does that make sense?
    Fred: PhotoShop CS6
    Fred: Or PhotoShop 6 Extended
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
    Fred: The question still remains "Why does LightRoom 4 only recongize DNG files and not other RAW file formats and not allow them to be opened into Camera Raw?"
    Fred: I don't want to process my images in LightRoom 4. I want to catalog and sort them. I want to process the RAW files from Canon in Camera Raw and then move on to PhotoShop 6 Extended.
    Fred: So, what you are telling me is that I can't open a RAW file in LightRoom into Camera Raw. Simply stated.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I can understand your concern. Lightroom will not require a camera raw converter.
    Soumyadeep: May I have the name of the camera model you are referring?
    Fred: Two camera models: EOS 5D Mark II and EOS 60D
    Soumyadeep: Please so that I can check further and try to troubleshoot your issue.
    Soumyadeep: .Thank you for the information.
    Fred: Both are listed as supported by Adobe PhotoShop and Camera Raw. I found that in my research.
    Soumyadeep: Okay.
    Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe applications.
    Fred: I simply want to go from LightRoom 4 directly to Camera Raw 7.01 and then onto PhotoShop 6 Extended. Seems pretty straight forward and logical to me. Then again I'm not Adobe.
    Fred: OK, just a moment and I'll do that.
    Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, may I know what operating system you are using?
    Fred: I am working on Windows 7 64 bit operating system.
    Fred: I have closed all applications from Adobe.
    Soumyadeep: Thank you for the information.
    Soumyadeep: Click on Start.
    Soumyadeep: Just type %Appdata% in the search box and hit the enter key.
    Fred: Ok, Im pretty computer savy so just tell me where you want to go.
    Soumyadeep: Double click on Adobe folder.
    Fred: Done
    Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder CameraRaw. Please rename the folder as CameraRawold.
    Fred: Done
    Soumyadeep: In that folder you will have a folder Adobe Photoshop CS6. Please rename the folder as Adobe Photoshop CS6old
    Soumyadeep: After renaming the images please close the page and try to open a raw file and let me know the exact result.
    Fred: Done
    Fred: Just a moment. I have renamed CameraRawold and Adobe6Old. i am going to navigate to my external drive and click on a RAW File
    Soumyadeep: Okay.
    Soumyadeep: Let me know the status.
    Fred: It is opening PhotoShop 6 Extended.
    Fred: I can change the properties of the file to open in another program if that is where we are going.
    Fred: It also created an error that stated that it recognized graphic software that is not completely supported and PhotoShop is not opening normally.
    Fred: Given a little more time it opened in Camera Raw.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, once more step you need to perform as you got an error regarding graphic software.
    Soumyadeep: Please try to work on the Camera Raw and let me know it is working fine or not.
    Fred: And I lost my presets.
    Fred: OK, where does this leave us?
    Fred: With regards to LightRoom 4?
    Soumyadeep: Fred, you wanted to open the raw images in Camera raw option instead of Photoshop CS6, right?
    Fred: Camera Raw appears to be functiong fine.
    Soumyadeep: Great!
    Soumyadeep: Please close all the Adobe application.
    Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K.
    Soumyadeep: Let me know once you are done.
    Fred: Checking the "CR2" files out of Canon the dafault to open is with PhotoShop 6
    Fred: Ok, let me close all of them.
    Fred: OK, closed sir.
    Soumyadeep: Please navigate to Performance tab.
    Fred: "Performance Tab" in what program?
    Soumyadeep: Re launch Photoshop and type CNTRL+ K
    Soumyadeep: A new window will pop up "Preference"
    Fred: Just a second it is opening. Thanks for help.
    Fred: I am now at the Prefernces box. Performance Tab
    Soumyadeep: You are welcome.
    Soumyadeep: Correct.
    Fred: OK, I'm in Preferences
    Soumyadeep: Please let me know Use Graphics Processor is checked or unchecked.
    Fred: It is checked. I do know that on this machine that the graphics processor is not fully supported due to a lack of a separte video card.
    Soumyadeep: Okay. Please do check once that the graphic drives are updated or not.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I hope now your are able to open the raw images in camera raw as you were referring?
    Fred: Just a second. Driver software is up to date.
    Fred: Let me open LightRoom 4 and see where it goes. Just a second.
    Soumyadeep: Sure.
    Fred: Lightroom is taking a long time to open now.
    Fred: Now I'm getting the message that it is not responding.
    Fred: OK, it finally opened. Just a second.
    Soumyadeep: Okay.
    Soumyadeep: Please let me know the result.
    Fred: In light room when I select "Edit In PhotoShop 6" it is going directly to Photoshop 6 and not opening Camera Raw. Still.
    Fred: So, my friend. We are still back to the original question and now I have to reload all of my preferences lost due to the change in AppData. LOL!
    Fred: I guess I can organize all I ant in LightRoom and still use Bridge to edit and work on my images.
    Fred: Sorry! Organize all I want and still edit out of Bridge.
    Soumyadeep: Fred, I am sorry to inform you that when you will open the images from Lightroom it will not require the camera raw and also when you will try to open the images in other software from Lightroom it will directly open in that software. Since Lightroom itself works as a Came

    Jim, thank you for an excellent responce.  I truthfully had researched the "Help" section on LightRoom and PhotoShop and found nothing that even remotely resembled your straight forward and easy to follow directions.  After upgrading to CS6 and LightRoom 4 I am delighted with all of the new features that Adobe created in PhotoShop.  I'm not sure that LightRoom 4 was as great an advancement as PhotoShop itself.
    I am certainly going to give your solution a try and see how it works out for me.   I concur that I probably do not fully understand and appreciate the relationship between the two programs.  Today was my attempt of gaining a better insight to that relationship.  Thank you for your response!

  • GoPro Camera Raw Lens Profile settings not working for image sequence in Photoshop/AE/Premiere CS6

    Hey Everyone,
    I'm in need of assistance in either Photoshop CS6, After Effects CS6, or Premiere Pro CS6.  I just installed the trials after seeing Russell Brown demo the GoPro Lens Profile correction feature in Camera Raw.  Basically what I'm looking to do is make adjustments (in Adobe Camera Raw) to a series of still images (shot with the time-lapse mode on the GoPro) and then either export those stills through Photoshop or Bridge to a temporary movie file that will be imported into a timeline (with other video clips), or import the JPG files (with Camera Raw settings) directly into After Effects or Premiere as an image sequence.  The latter would be preferable as it'd avoid the extra step of having to render the intermediate/temporary movie file.
    Right now, my current workflow for GoPro time-lapses is:
              - use Bridge CS4 to do basic color correction on the still images
              - save those as TIF files
              - run the TIF files through a custom script to have Hugin 2012.0.0 (open source pano stitcher) remove the fisheye distortion
              - open the new TIF image sequence into QuickTime Player 7 (Pro)
              - export the image sequence as a QuickTime movie file
              - import the movie file into Premiere Elements 10 to place on a timeline with other video clips (as Premiere Elements can't handle the sequence(s) of thousands of still images without crashing)
    If I can go directly from Bridge to a timeline, it'd save a lot of processing time (and it'd be much nicer to preview the images in Bridge without the fisheye distortion)!
    I can prepare the GoPro JPG files through Adobe Camera Raw in Bridge CS6, though when I go to import the JPEG image sequence into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, none of the Camera Raw settings are applied.  If I export the Camera Raw files in Bridge CS6 as DNG files (a step I'd really prefer to avoid) and then import the DNG image sequence into After Effects CS6, the Camera Raw settings are applied except for the Lens Profile settings -- I can pick other cameras but not the GoPro lens profiles when the DNG image sequence loads in After Effects.  It also appears that once I open the DNG files in After Effects CS6, I can no longer access the GoPro Lens Profile in Adobe Bridge CS6 -- the list changes to the same list I get in After Effects.  Premiere Pro CS6 doesn't let me import the DNG files at all.  I've also tried to import the JPG files (as well as the converted DNG files) into an image sequence in Photoshop CS6, though it doesn't allow me to do so (the Image Sequence checkbox is grayed out after I apply the Camera Raw settings in Bridge).
    There could be an issue going on with different Camera Raw versions.  I didn't have Premiere Pro CS6 installed during my initial testing, though now do notice that the Camera Raw dialog in Bridge CS6 only lets me choose compatibility up to "Camera Raw 7.1 and later" when I choose to export the files as DNG.  I thought Camera Raw 8.2 was an option there a couple days ago when I only had installed Photoshop CS6 and After Effects CS6 (though am not 100% certain).
    Please let me know if there is some workaround to get the GoPro lens profile Camera Raw corrections applied in an image sequence in one of the Adobe CS6 products (without having to export the files as temporary TIF or JPG files out of Camera Raw).  I'd greatly prefer to shorten my current workflow for these files.  (I just updated the CS6 trials and have tested all three programs again though I still get the same results described above.)
    Does Lightroom 5 have any option to export Camera Raw image sequences as movie files (or any other feature that might help in simplifying my current workflow)?  I can't install the trial right now as it's not compatible with OS X 10.6.8.  I'd consider upgrading OS X if I knew Lightroom 5 would do what I need, though am waiting for any potential color profile issues to be resolved in OS X 10.9.
    I can open the image sequence in Photoshop CS6 if no Camera Raw settings are applied and then use the Lens Correction Filter to apply the GoPro Lens Profile settings, though I really prefer the Camera Raw interface in Bridge for tweaking image settings.  As soon as I apply Camera Raw settings to the first image, Photoshop CS6 grays out the image sequence checkbox.
    If there isn't a way to take Camera Raw files straight from Adobe Bridge to a timeline, I may stick with my current workflow using CS4 and see what I can do to better automate some of the steps as the TIF export in Bridge, fisheye distortion removal in Hugin, and render in QuickTime Player all take quite a while.  I won't mind waiting for all the processing if I can set it and check back on it in later the next day when it's fully complete.  Is there a way to have Adobe ExtendScript execute an external shell command (i.e.: a command I could type into the bash shell in Terminal in OS X)?  If not, is there a way to call/run an ExtendScript script from the command line and pass a parameter to it that my custom script could use?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mark

    Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

  • Camera Raw 4.0 unusable in Photoshop CS2

    If you have Photoshop CS2 and you download the latest RAW 4.0 update, forget about opening any RAW files from cameras produced in the past year and a half or so. As a clever marketing move Adobe has disabled all functionality for RAW cameras once covered under RAW versions 3.0 through 3.7 when using the RAW version 4.0 in Photoshop CS2. Why would they do that, you ask? To sell more software, of course!
    The RAW 4.0 update adds only the Panasonic DMC-FZ8, a camera that I recently purchased. But, if I want to view RAW files from this camera I have to upgrade to Photoshop CS3 or buy Lightroom 1.0, and that is exactly what Adobe is hoping. Suddenly my Photoshop CS2 program has become obsolete because in addition I can no longer open RAW files from my Nikon D200. What is so difficult about making the RAW 4.0 plug-in compatible with other more recent Photoshop programs? Absolutely nothing! Adobe cares more about selling new software than they do about customer loyalty. Such a marketing practice is unfortunate and, in my mind, reflects poorly on Adobe's business ethics.

    "I think a nice compromise to the ACR things is to design the next full version of upgrade of ACR (in this case 4.0) so that it will work with the last version of Adobe Photoshop (in this case CS2)."
    Yeah, ok, here's the problem with that...Mac CS2 required 10.3.9 or above...Win CS2 required Win 2K or XP/SP2...Photoshop CS3 (and Camera Raw 4.0) requires Mac 10.4.8 and Win, XP/SP2 or Vista.
    So, you code to the latest APIs of the system (10.4.x, XP/SP2 or Vista) and you are supposed to magically make a plug-in work on older APIs of the previous version of Photoshop? Even though, to progress and advance (and hopefully optimize) you commit to using the new APIs. So, how ya gonna make Camera Raw 4.0 work in Photoshop CS2-disable it for 10.3.9 and Win 2K? Forget about using new API's and suffer through the old ones?
    So, you say, well, just keep updating Camera Raw 3.x...ok, for how long? Forever? For 1 quarter? For a year?
    So, you got the Camera Raw engineering team (3 guys) taking time away from Camera Raw 4 to re-write code for Camera Raw 3 for cameras that weren't even sold when Camera Raw 3.x shipped...you ok with that? You realize that it will drain resources from new products with new features, but that's ok. . .you want Adobe to support old products even though they no longer sell them.
    I suppose in a perfect world, that would be ok. But as a user of the current Photoshop CS3 and Camera Raw 4, I would want the engineers to be concentrating their time and energy working on what they ARE selling right now. Adding new cameras to Camera Raw 4. Adding new functionality to Camera Raw 4.
    People have a pretty skewed view of software, IMHO. They drop down bucks for HARDWARE and expect the software to be upgraded forever, for free. There's just as much value in intangible personal property (software) as there is in tangible personal property (hardware). And...it ain't like these shiny new cameras don't come with the camera maker's software...and Adobe STILL provides support for new cameras in old versions via DNG...which, BTW is free...
    Big ol' bad Adobe, out there trying to screw their customers...I don't think so. They bend over backwards to do the right things, but of course, to some people, even that's not enough.
