Adobe sends word of their latest free updates to the Lightroom/Camera Raw processing tools.

Adobe today announced the Lightroom 3.4 and Camera Raw 6.4 updates are available for immediate download on Adobe.com. Originally posted as release candidates on Adobe Labs, the final updates bring raw file support to 13 popular camera models including Canon EOS Rebel T3i, Nikon D5100 and Fuji FinePix X100, and add over 25 new lens profiles to help photographers automatically correct unwanted distortion and chromatic aberration.

In addition, the Lightroom 3.4 and Camera Raw 6.4 updates address a number of issues reported by customers on the previous releases. Adobe encourages the community to provide feedback on the updates so it can ensure the highest quality experience for customers working on diverse hardware and software configurations. To that end, Adobe recently announced the integration of Get Satisfaction customer community and interaction software support on Photoshop.com, which lets users provide real-time feedback and requests for the entire Adobe Digital Imaging family of products. These new community support features can be accessed by choosing Product Feedback from the Products menu on Photoshop.com, by visiting http://feedback.photoshop.com/login, or on the Lightroom Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/lightroom?sk=app_144421742246079.

I apparently based my post below on incorrect information and assumptions that I made.

Per Imagenomic's David McDonell:

Imagenomic is working on and will be releasing plugin updates for CS5, and these will likely be provided FREE for registered users.

My apologies to the team at Imagenomic and any concern I might have caused other loyal users of their products.

Those of you who have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 already and are fans of Imagenomic's top quality filters (as I am) will be frustrated to know that they will not be supporting the existing versions of their tools in CS5. Noiseware, Portraiture, and RealGrain users might be able to get the tools to work, but on first attempt they would not install in the new CS5.

Imagenomic is working on updates to the tools but these are version upgrades which are not normally slated for free upgrade.

While the new versions will have better features, it seems silly that the old version wouldn't just work or be quickly modified to fit the plug-in format of CS5. Let the features of the new versions sell themselves. Don't hold the customers hostage to buying a new version just to have existing functionality.

UPDATE: I did manage to get the tools to install and work just fine in CS5 by manually moving them from the old CS4 plug-ins folder.

At the stroke of midnight, Adobe formally announced the latest edition of their Photoshop series, the all new CS5. It features internal HDR toning, content aware fill and something called puppet warp. For more details, read on. [MORE]

This has got to be one of the coolest features for Photoshop CS5 I've seen so far. Content-Aware Fill allows you to remove items from your screen, and have Photoshop intelligently fill in the space they left behind. Quite amazing. Check this video on Youtube.

Adobe has release Lightroom 3.0 as an open BETA for Mac and Windows platforms. If you've never tried it, now is your chance. If you are a longtime user, you'll love exploring the new features. Right now catalogs are NOT upgradable from 2.0, but will be on the final release.
