Adobe updates Camera Raw and Lightroom; adds support for 22 new cameras

0

Adobe has today released the final versions of Lightroom 4.2 and Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 for public consumption. Finally some good news for the early adopters of the cameras that have been coming out recently.Adobe updates Camera Raw and Lightroom; adds support for 22 new cameras
Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 and Lightroom 4.2 add support for 21 new cameras not just limited to Canon or Nikon camps. The update also plays well with the Sony RX100 and the Fujifilm XF1 to name a few (the full list at the end of the article). While ACR 7.2 only adds RAW support, Lightroom also gets equipped with tethering support, the lack of which has been quite a bother for many of those who bought these cameras at the time of release. Tethering is great for many photographers as especially in a studio environment, where the camera doesn’t really need much moving. It also allows the photographer (or client) to view the shots immediately on a big screen. The lack of this ability has been severely impacting the workflow of many photographers and the support forums at Adobe have been over-loaded by the question of “when will the support be added?”

Along with RAW and tethering support, Lightroom also gets a bug fix for issues such as “The Navigator Panel in Map did not pan correctly” and the addition of roughly 45 new lens profile for chromatic aberration and distortion correction.

Well, the wait is over as the official 4.2 build of Lightroom can be downloaded directly from the Adobe website for Windows and Mac. The Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 can be downloaded directly from within Photoshop by going to “Help > Check for updates” as there is no direct way to download it from the website.
