Software updates add support for 14 RAW file formats, as well as improved noise reduction.
Adobe has updated its Photoshop Lightroom software and Camera RAW plug-in for Photoshop with expanded support for RAW image file formats. The updates provide RAW file support for 14 additional cameras and backs. Adobe also says the updated software will produce more image detail in photos captured with cameras that use Bayer filters on their sensors when the images are processed with default noise-reduction values.
In addition, the Lightroom update corrects grid display errors in Windows Vista and improves XMP auto-write performance. The Lightroom 1.2 and Camera Raw 4.2 updates are available on Adobe's Web site as free downloads to owners of Lightroom, Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS3 Extended, Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Mac, and Photoshop.
