Sorry, John, but that's just not correct. Photoshop 7 was the first version of Photoshop for which a Camera Raw plugin existed as a $100 add-on component. That optional plugin was Camera Raw v1.0. Digital Negative support was added to the Camera Raw plugin at version 2.4, which required Photoshop CS (version 8). Photoshop CS shipped including the Camera Raw v2.0 plug-in. Take a look at the DNG "Timeline" on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative_(file_format) and the Photoshop release history on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Photoshop_release_history ... You can see that the DNG specification wasn't even underway before Photoshop CS was initially released. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
