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. I'm a bit leery of installing this DNG Converter update because it says it's only compatible with Photoshop CC. When i returned to Bridge, I realised that the original RAW image had little icons on it with crop and adjustment symbolWhy edit Adobe Camera Raw.
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. It's puzzling that MacUpdate would leave this misleading naming problem unresolved for so long. 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. 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. Adobe Camera Raw is the perfect companion for photographers or photography buffs who are already used to editing their photos using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe.
