Adobe has released the final versions of Adobe Camera Raw 7.2 and Lightroom 4.2. The latest updates bring finalized support for 21 additional cameras, including the Sony A99 and RX100, the Fujifilm X-E1 and the Canon EOS M. Lightroom gains tethering support for 11 cameras, including the Nikon D800 and Canon EOS 5D Mark III. It also adds support for 'Albums' in its uploader to the Revel service. Updates are available through the in-software update systems.

Both updates also provides preliminary support for the Nikon D600. A footnote on Adobe's Lightroom blog explains: "The support for Nikon D600 is preliminary and there is a minor risk that the appearance of your images may change when the final support for Nikon D600 is available in an upcoming release."

Is this a delta update? Or will I be downloading the whole program?

0 upvotes

You apprehend that there are two, or three, programs?

For Windows, the ACR 7.2 update for Photoshop CS6 is 45MB, while the entire Lightroom 4.xx update is a new program.

For those few with Elements 11, I'd bet it's just an ACR limited update.

So which software are you running Photoshop, Lightroom, or Elements?

I really do not understand the need foe new release to add support for new camera. This can be easily accomplish through external files like .dll or similar. It's only a new swet of parameters to be used by existing algorithm - not dedicated algorithm for each brand or model...

The D600 has preliminary support (beta profile only).

ljfinger:

Yes, but ACR 7.2 most certainly extracts D600 raws. That Adobe may tweak ACR in the future for the D600 is possible.

Calling ACR 7.2 a beta extractor for D600 raws is misleading because Adobe also posts beta versions of ACR for download and testing by the general public. So no, one does not need a beta version of ACR 7.xx to open D600 raws, they open very nicely with the current ACR, v 7.2.

0 upvotes

HowaboutRAW, you didn't read the release notes. That ACR 7.2 can open D600 files is not beta, you are correct there. But Adobe and ljfinger correctly said that the profile is beta. In other words, yes, you can open them, but no, you cannot count on the rendering of 7.2 to be the same as a future version when they have more time to see if they can do a better rendering. And I guess if they are saying that, they think they can do a better rendering.

In short: You can open 'em, but your edits might look different when you update again. That's what they're warning about, that's what's "beta."

0 upvotes

graybalanced:

Actually I understood that point when PhotographyBlog first noted the release of ACR 7.2, many many hours before DPReview.

However: ACR 7.2 is still not beta, that a single camera's raw extraction features may change in the future doesn't cause me great concern about the work I do with those files today in ACR 7.2. (It' s not like I'm going to run out an buy a D600 until I'm comfortable that it does what I'd like, and then I have to pay for it too.)

If Adobe and you want to call D600 raw extraction "beta" within ACR 7.2 that's fine, but again I already know that point.

You missed the point where I was saying that ACR 7.2 is not beta software, but that sometimes Adobe posts betas of an entire program like ACR 7.2 but one does not need a beta version of ACR 7.xx to extract D600 raws; they extract nicely in ACR 7.2.

Let me guess, the RAW support for X-Pro and X-E are still crappy.

2 upvotes

What problems with ACR extraction of XPro1 raws are you referring to? (I'll assume you don't have XE raws.)

I see no significant difference when opening a D4 raw with ACR in PhotoShop than when opening a Fuji XPro1 file with the same software.

0 upvotes

I think he is referring to the mediocre rendering of the RAW files in ACR/LR4. The X-Pro 1 (the X-E1 has exactly the same sensor and processor) RAW files don't look good in ACR. In comparison to the JPG images the Fuji in camera processing, there is hardly any reason to shoot RAW. It takes a lot of work to create a Fuji RAW file in ACR that looks close to the quality of OOC jpg.

But I don't think it is entirely Adobes fault. Fuji engineers have recently stated that the new 6x6 X-Trans vs. Bayer pixel array took years to develop, mainly because of the difficulty to create the new rendering algorithm.

And if this is the secret sauce to the X-Trans sensor, than Fuji will not easily give this information out to third parties to keep their competitive advantage for some time.

But unfortunately, this is not the best decision for us users who would love to get even more out of out X-Pro 1 images in ACR/LR and RAW...

smatty:

Because I use high ISOs and care about colour, I'm not going to bother with jpegs. It's academically nice to read that the XPro1 does good jpegs out of the camera, but meaningless for repeated high quality photo work.

The tiffs from raw look very good to me, however the colour from Fuji lenses seems to lack what Zeiss and Leicas can produce. Still the Fuji lenses are very sharp and easily beat ostensibly high quality Nikon lenses for colour. And yes, I have tested a 50mm 1.4 Zeiss on the XPro1. The Zeiss isn't as sharp as the Fuji.

Could ACR 7.2 and 7.1 do an even better job with XPro1 raws, maybe. But to say that it does a crappy job is stupid, particularly when the software which ships with the XPro1 does such an awful job (Silkypix). And this goes to your point about "competitive advantage" If Fuji sought that, then Silkypix would be usable or Fuji would have done its own raw extraction software.

Can you change colour, tint, and exposure with a jpeg? Not really.

0 upvotes

SilkyPix produces high quality conversions from X-Pro1 RAW files, but the user interface is clumsy and the program is slooooow (screen draws especially).

It is alo possible to use the in-camera converter to convert RAW files on the SC card, if you want to...

0 upvotes

Petka:

Compared to ACR, Silkypix does not produce high quality extractions of raws from the XPro1. Or any other raw format I've tried it with, Panasonic LX5 and Samsung NX100 raws spring to immediate mind.

And no it is not simply a bad interface. Silkypix should be withdrawn from the market it so bad, and Samsung, Panasonic and Fuji are really dumb to use it as their raw extraction software.

To the best of my knowledge one can't use in camera conversion to convert from raw to tiff.

In I believe the DP2 Merrill review, the guy who runs Luminous-Landscape also calls Silkypix a poor quality raw extraction tool. He knows a thing or two about raw extraction and image quality. (Though his language is not as harsh as mine.)

1 upvote

@HowaboutRAW: I used to be 100% in the RAW boat with my Canon FF cameras. But since I bought the Fuji X100 more than 1.5 years ago, this has changed. I feel very comfortable shooting the X100 and X-Pro 1 in JPG - never thought I would go back to APS-C or use jpg, but Fuji has changed that.

Looking at your screen name, it is plausible that you are a RAW advocate. But:

"Could ACR 7.2 and 7.1 do an even better job with XPro1 raws, maybe. But to say that it does a crappy job is stupid..."

I never said "crappy" so much for "stupid"! And if you would give the X-Pro 1 jpg a chance (Provia) and compare it to a RAW in LR (shoot jpg+RAW) maybe you see what so many of us are talking about.

"Can you change colour, tint, and exposure with a jpeg? Not really."

Yes you can. Of course not as much as you can with RAW, but the Fuji jpg files hold a lot of room for correction - more than my 5D MK II jpg's. I try to get the exposure and settings right in camera - a habbit from analog days!

Cheers!

No you didn't say "crappy", you wrote, quote:

"I think he is referring to the mediocre rendering of the RAW files in ACR/LR4. The X-Pro 1 (the X-E1 has exactly the same sensor and processor) RAW files don't look good in ACR. In comparison to the JPG images the Fuji in camera processing,"

All of which means crappy.

And then above, Peiasdf clearly did say "crappy".

To the best of my knowledge: exposure and colour adjustment are better in TIFF than jpg. And the only way you get good TIFFs is to start with raw files. So that's another big reason to use raw, one can make post extraction to TIFF exposure and colour tweaks that are next to impossible in jpges.

If you really do get your exposure settings perfect in every shot, then you sure are shooting slowly. Or you are shooting in a studio. Such a claim is like someone saying I try to get composition and focus near perfect every time. And the focus claim would be laughable with the Fuji XPro1 and the X100.

I notice you say rendering raw files from with ACR in LR 4. I know that PhotoShop Elements uses a limited version of ACR, but ACR is still very good from within Elements, so Lightroom 4 should do a good job with XPro1 raws. (I don't have Elements 11, so am not commenting on extraction of XPro1 raws with Elements.)

Which all leads to my my point, perhaps the fault is with the Lightroom version of ACR 7.xx's extraction of XPro1 raws.

I use ACR 7 in Photoshop CS6 and the extraction of XPro1 raws is excellent. Above I only said that it "maybe" could be better to allow for future tweaks.

Frankly I have no idea why Lightroom 4 would extract XPro1 raws so badly given how good PS CS6 is. I have Elements 9, to test out older raws, like those from the Panasonic LX5, but Elements 9 is really really good at raw extraction of those Panasonic files.

Who knows, the fact is that ACR 7.xx in Photoshop CS6 does a very very good job of extracting XPro1 raws.

I thought that the 4.2 version was supposed to give you access to the full raw picture, even if you had chosen a cropped format. But nothing has changed here. I don't understand why something that simple, which C1 Pro is offering since years can't be included in LR and ACR. Even Olympus proprietary raw converter offers that choice.

It is really deceiving. Is it that hard for Adobe to understand that you can change your mind after the shoot, or that you need some of these supplementary pixels to straighten your tilted horizon without loss if possible ??

What exact cameras you are talking about?
Because Panasonic LX5 does NOT record all pixels. Only selected crop area.

I did not ask for a free upgrade to Elements 10 but downward compatibility to ACR 6.7. Elements 8 (and 9) are not compatible with ACR 6.7; Elements nine is the previous version of Elements (until 11 is out). ACR 6.7 is NOT the latest ACR. So, yes, I think I do expect different marketing strategy practices from Adobe; or, maybe... I shouldn't...

ARC is a separate program that transfers the image to the editing software so it can be made available to older programms.

It is more like in the past when petrol went from leaded to unleaded fue,l but then in one day. Yes you can fill up your car but the motor won't like it and it will cease to operate. No you can't change your motor to run on unleaded fuel and you have to scrap your car and buy a new one!!

That is the policy of Adobe....sell more cars!!!

If you are concerned with new camera support, then Adobe has made quite a big effort for camera makers to use an open standard format. One can only blame camera makers here.

Well in fact a DNG from say a Leica M9 is different than a DNG from a Pentax K30, Ricoh GXR, etc. And software that opens one will not always open the other, though Adobe software seems better in this regard. Then with Adobe one can compromise and use Adobe DNG converter, but especially with the XPro1 files that has some difficulties.

I agree with R Butler. Adobe is nice enough to give customers DNG converter for free. use that if you want to use outdated old software.

To be clear, Adobe isn't updating Camera Raw for it's current version of Elements (10). While I can understand them not going back several versions of Elements, seems like a poor decision to not support the current version. If I want to use Raw files from the latest Rebel I have to wait for Elements 11 to ship (or convert through DNG)

Outdated/old software? Theoretically you could buy a new camera today, and PS/LR the same day, a week or month later a new PS comes out and your camera never gets supported.

What on earth are you talking about? My Canon G2 which I purchased in Dec. 2001 is supported by ACR 7.2 today, more than ten years later. (And yes, the G2 shoots raw.)

That Adobe makes one buy a version of PS Elements per year to keep up with the latest camera raw files (eg Fuji XE and Nikon D600) is a very different story.

Comment edited 9 minutes after posting

The G2 isn't a new camera you can buy new today. What are you talking about? I'm talking about eg... perhaps a couple weeks from now you buy the new Leica M-E. At the same time purchase Lightroom. You have no idea whether Adobe will ever support the M-E with Lightroom 4 and may have to fork over money to buy Lightroom 5.

i was originally responding to Nekrosoft's comment about this issue pertaining to users of "old and outdated software" (in my scenario, neither the software or the camera would be old or outdated, but rather the latest offerings from 2 separate companies).

For ACR 7.2 one has to update from within your Adobe software: Photoshop CS 6, Lightroom 4.xx, or if you have PS Elements 11 you can get that limited ACR 7.2.

If you're just looking for the new Lightroom, the update pulldown menu should also work.

Adobe really only ever allows you to download the latest free DNG Converter from a link.

What lenses aren't supported? Most Micro Four Thirds lens corrections are applied without the need for profiles, since the profile information is embedded in the Raw file.

3 upvotes

@R Butler - yeah, but precisely because of that, you can't turn it off! CA correction is fine, but distortion correction is always destructive (though in the case of the Panny 20/1.7 a lot less than I expected). It would be nice to at least have the option; in some instances the distortion may be unnoticeable but the improvement in edge sharpness won't be... or to choose some intermediate value. There are plenty of reasons why I think the "embedded" lens profiles are a bad idea. Other than that Lr rocks!

0 upvotes

The philosophy behind some modern lenses (particularly in mirrorless and compact cameras) is to use software distortion correction as part of the lens' design, rather than adding heavy, expensive elements and doing it optically (which itself can have side-effects on other aspects of the IQ).

From that perspective, turning the distortion correction off would be like taking one of the lens elements out - you might be able to correct for it, but it's probably easier just to leave it in there. The lens' final performance was designed to have those corrections made and (as you've seen with the 20mm) the results tend to be pretty good - and possibly better than the results of trying to correct a lens not designed with software correction in mind.

Please read both of my comments above, particularly the one where I said that I'd seen no smearing of extracted XPro1 files with ACR 7.1 in PS CS6. And if one seeks smearing: Use Silkypix.

So no, in Photoshop CS6, ACR 7.1 and 7.2 don't smear XPro1 raws extracted into tiffs. Therefore: No problem to fix.

Making assertions about software performance that I can easily check and discover to be incorrect or severely misleading doesn't do claims of smearing much service. Particularly when Silkypix is famously so bad in that area with XPro1 raws.

Maybe it's a jpeg thing, I don't waste my time extracting raws directly into jpegs, because I care about colour and noise.

plasnu:

From a 500 ISO raw, now using ACR 7.2, I can't even make a jpeg smear when I make a 1.4MB file out of the entire raw original.

And then with a tiff of an ISO 6400 file that I know I extracted with ACR 7.1 that I then turned into a small jpeg, I'm not seeing smearing. I see noise and a bit of blotchiness, but nothing unexpected at that ISO with a jpeg and nothing I'd call "smearing".

If you mean that high ISO Fuji XPro1 raws get blurred a bit when extracted, that's not at all the same as smearing. That's pretty much how much of noise reduction works. The ISO 4000-6400 tiffs that I have look great--even in shadows.

Again use Silkypix 5 for smearing.
