Adobe Camera Raw

 One of the tricky things about being on the bleeding edge when it comes to buying a new camera is the lack of RAW support, but Adobe has really been getting ahead of the curve lately, due in large part to their practice of releasing public release candidates of their software. 

Adobe has released one of its periodic updates to Lightroom and Camera Raw, adding support for more lenses, cameras, and generally fixing bugs. You can download the Lightroom 4.2 update from here, DNG Converter from here, and Adobe recommends using the update tools in Photoshop CS6 to get Camera Raw to the newest edition.

Adobe has just seeded the Release Candidate for Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw 6.7, bringing a host of new camera and lens compatibilities for Photoshop CS5. Since this is a Release Candidate, and not the final version, there may still be some minor bugs floating around, but it should be mostly stable. Another side effect of being a Release Candidate is that it will expire, and cease working May 31. The big new cameras supported with this release are the Canon 1DX and 5D Mark III, the Fuji FinePix X-S1, and the Nikon D4 and D800/D800E. The update also includes supports for dozens of new lenses.Hit the jump for a complete list of cameras and lenses added with this version.
