Adobe Updates Photoshop Plug-in

Adobe Systems has released Camera Raw 4.1, an update to the plug-in the company offers to enable its Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop Elements 4.01 software to manipulate raw digital camera files. The update is available for download now.

The plug-in enables Photoshop and Photoshop Elements to read and manipulate the raw files produced by dozens of digital camera models — everything from digital single lens reflex (DSLR) models to medium format camera backs.

New to this release is support for 13 additional models, including Canon’s new EOS-1D Mark III, Fuji’s FinePix S5 Pro, models from Nikon, Olympus and more. Also new to this version is improved noise reduction and sharpening tools.

An updated version of Adobe’s Digital Negative (DNG) Converter is also available. Version Cue an Bridge will also be updated; an update for Lightroom is also anticipated.
