Which hardly seems reasonable as the main purpose of the DNGConverter is to handle backwards compatibility for Camera Raw files not supported in the user's extant version of Adobe Photoshop.Įver since Adobe moved their business to Creative Cloud they seem to be as confused about what they're doing as their users - and MacUpdate doesn't help with these misnamed updates.
CAMERA RAW FOR MAC PHOTOSHOP CS5 UPDATE
I'm a bit leery of installing this DNG Converter update because it says it's only compatible with Photoshop CC. 'The Camera Raw 6 plug-in is not compatible with versions of Photoshop earlier than Photoshop CS5 or versions of Photoshop Elements earlier than Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac.' And this is even version 7 - shock horror. The only thing I can think of that makes any sense here is that Adobe now only provides Camera Raw updates through Adobe Photoshop of Photoshop Elements. Adobe Digital Imaging How-Tos: Essential Techniques for Photoshop CS5, Lightroom 3, and Camera Raw 6 is a concise, economical, current, and informed. At the bottom of the Camera Raw Preferences dialog, under JPEG and TIFF Handling, set both JPEG and TIFF to Automatically Open All Supported JPEGs and Automatically Open all Supported TIFFs, respectively. It's puzzling that MacUpdate would leave this misleading naming problem unresolved for so long. Go to Photoshop Preferences Camera Raw (Mac) or Edit Preferences Camera Raw (Windows) 2. The last version for CS5 Mac is Camera Raw. There is no explanation on Adobe's web site, that I can find, of this issue, not any recent download link for the actual Camera Raw plug-in. In Photoshop or Photoshop Elements go to Help > Updates to get the latest versions of Photoshop and Camera Raw. Once you click the download link you get a dmg image file called DNGConverter - and that's all it contains - I checked it with Pacifist. The last few versions of what is called Adobe Camera Raw on MacUpdate contain only the latest DNG Converter, not the latest Camera Raw files or plug-in.
