I just bought the nikon d700 and I am still using cs2...i tried downloading the 5.1 acr version...but it still says file cannot be read in bridge...am i doing something wrong? [You need to download the latest DNG Converter (Mac|Win) and use it to make your NEFs into DNGs that are compatible with CS2. --J.]

John,
can you give us a hint if there will *ever* be native support for Hasselblad/Imacon’s camera raw file formats (.fff and .3fr) in ACR ?
[It's really up to Hasselblad. I'm not the right guy to share more details. --J.]
the Flexcolor convert to dng workaround is O K, but it’s a workaround.
i know this only effects a (relatively) tiny amount of your customers (compared to say Canon 50D support) but i promise it’d make all us Hassy shooter very happy!

Just downloaded the 2.1 update. I currently have the 2.1 RC loaded. I run the installer, it loads and completes. But when I launch it it still shows on the splash panel that it’s the 2.1 RC version?

I'm using Photoshop CS3 and Lightroom 2.0. If I upgrade to LR 2.1 (with ACR 5.1) do I then lose compatibility with Photoshop CS3 and ACR 4.6? Thanks. [Nope, you'd be fine. 4.6 can render settings (e.g. local corrections) applied with LR2/ACR5, though it can't edit them. --J.]

The (Mac) Camera Raw 5.1 updater says (“Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter”) it includes DNG Converter, but it does not. The download is a .dmg file that contains only the Camera Raw.plugin file.

Camera Raw 4.6 for CS3; Camera Raw 5.1 for CS4 ? Is it not possible to have a better numbering system so we can know at a glance whether we are up to date whether you are in CS3 or CS4 ?
[This is the one and only time there'll be such an overlap for the two versions. 4.6 is the last update for CS3. --J.]
Also when the new releases come for specific camera can they identify if there are other changes (non camera related) since most of us do not change our cameras as often as the Raw updates.

Thak you very much John, save my day! It’s a pleasure to teach Adobe’s software (and being able to ask someone inside the projects, other than customer service), looking forward to try CS4. daniele

Hi John thanks for anything, just a question on CS4. Can I install PS CS4 on a Dell laptop with a 64gb SSD hard disk?
[Yes, that should be perfectly fine. We're working to certify support now. Look for a clearer statement soon. --J.]
Reading some articles that said no, I wrote to Adode cust service, but get no answer. I’m a teacher and trainer in IT and graphics, and use just that notebook, this could be a major issue to me. I’ve already preordered CS4 master upgrade here in Italy, but if I can’t install it I’m afraid I will give up on buying. If you think this will some kind of issue that will be addressed soon I can wait. Hope you can help, thank you for your blog, daniele

Last feature request for today, promise!
Can we PLEASE have the option to open raw files in custom spaces other than the four choices given? I use my own spaces (based on L* gamma) for most Photoshop work.
Personally I think camera matching profiles and the ability to tweak your own using a ColorChecker are the best thing that’s happened to Camera Raw.
