Re: OT Raw upgrades for Photoshop CS?

[Alan P. Hayes]

I'd actually be a little surprised if Adobe didn't support new RAW 
formats for CS1. They do have a large user base using older versions 
for a number of their products and in my experience they are better 
than most when it comes to not leaving those people behind. Of 
course, since the capability for decoding the various RAWs is built 
in to new versions of Camera Raw (not an extension), they might be 
less likely to support two separate versions.
Of course, things can change and I could be wrong.

Is the DNG converter a possible workaround here?

No. Of course not. What would make sense would be for Adobe to 
provide a RAW Converter upgrade for CS that makes it XT compatible. 
To do otherwise is inconsiderate at best.

 Photoshop CS2 has additional features that the latest Camera Raw 3.1
 plug-in is dependent upon to provide the Advanced features, so yes: you
 must upgrade to CS2 to use the latest software. Adobe Technical Support
 continues to handle CS  questions and support, thousands of people with
 well established workflow have no need to upgrade to CS2. New cameras,
 however, need the support of new software, older cameras do not.
 You just bought a new camera, doesn't it make sense that you'd have to
 buy software written to handle it?
