Stories, software and strategies to help nonprofits do the social web
Adobe has issued some new software today, version 2.4 of Lightroom 2, version 5.4 of Camera RAW, and version 1.3 of the DNG specification and SDK. The complete press release can be found at the Imaging Insider.
Of great interest, they have added support to a number of new and upcoming digital cameras. All but three of them have interchangeable lenses. You can check the Adobe downloads page for more details.
The new version of Adobe's DNG Converter (version 5.4) now supports the lens correction data in the RW2 files created by Panasonic's latest cameras -- including the Lumix G1 and LX3. DNGs for files shot with the kit lenses now save the original sensor mosaic data. (The previous DNG version turned the sensor data into a linear DNG, which only Adobe could use.)
Still no support for the new DNG files in Aperture or iPhoto, though. Maybe in the next version of Aperture (please, Apple)?
So here's the state of working with RW2 images with Apple software:
With today's update, Adobe Lightroom, etc, will work just fine with all RW2 files.
Can Apple be far behind?
Update: DPreview's editorial blog has more details of the new DNG specification and what it means. Unless otherwise specified: DNG gains lens correction.
