I hear that sometimes there are undocumented improvements included in the Camera Raw plug-in. However; unless my camera required the upgrade, I would wait for the official release. I monitor the Adobe forums, and usually wait a couple of weeks before applying any upgrades. YMMV Bugger, no Pentax K10D. :-( > http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=3544 > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > G-Man You don't need explicit K10D support in Camera Raw - the camera can already use DNGs natively as the format for its RAW images. >Bugger, no Pentax K10D. :-( > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> >> G-Man While that is true native RAW is still the better choice, that way there will be no in camera conversion to DNG.

That doesn't make much sense. Greg > > You don't need explicit K10D support in Camera Raw - the camera > > can already use DNGs natively as the format for its RAW images.

There is no "conversion" to DNG; the K10D is capable of using DNG as a native RAW format. This will contain exactly the same information as a Pentax RAW (PEF) file - no more, no less. In particular, it still has the 12-bit sensor values, unmodified - no demosaicing algorithm, etc. applied. A big advantage of using DNG is that there's no need to wait for an update of your favourite RAW converter - any well- written application (which, sadly, does not seem to include iPhoto, Aperture, or Raw Shooter) will automatically be able to read the DNG files from the K10D. >While that is true native RAW is still the better choice, that way there >will be no in camera conversion to DNG.

[snip] Wrapping the raw image data into PEFs, or into DNGs, are similar tasks. It isn't a matter of PEFs being a primary format and DNGs being a derived format. They are BOTH raw file formats capable of holding the primary image data, independently of one-another.  SignatureBarry Pearson http://www.barry.pearson.name/photography/ |
