Adobe Releases v4.0 Camera RAW Plug-In

Adobe has released version 4.0 of its Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Elements 4.01 only. It’s available for download now, along with Adobe DNG Converter.

This release adds support for the Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-FZ8, which features a 12x optical zoom, 7.2MP sensor and optical image stabilization.

The Adobe DNG Converter application converts raw digital files from supported cameras to the Adobe DNG (Digital Negative) format, a universal file format created by Adobe to address the lack of an open standard in the raw camera file space.

Be aware that Adobe has indicated this new Camera Raw 4.0 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop prior to the new CS3 release, or Photoshop Elements prior to 4.01 for Mac and 5.0 for Windows. Older versions are still available.
