Camera Raw for High Resolution Displays

If you’re a Camera Raw user with a high-resolution monitor you should head over to Adobe Labs, where the Camera Raw 8.1 and DNG Converter 8.1 Release Candidates have been posted and are available for download. Camera Raw 8.1 offers support for HiDPI capable displays (like the Mac’s Retina displays), plus bug fixes, new lens profiles, and support for new cameras.

Camera Raw 8.1 can be used with Photoshop CS6, however in that situation it will not offer any of the new features that have been announced for Photoshop CC with Camera Raw 8 (like the ability to apply Camera Raw adjustments as a filter). This update for CS6 is mainly about extending support for hardware, not adding new features.

New Camera Support in Camera Raw 8.1 includes the following:

  • Hasselblad H5D-60
  • Olympus PEN E-P5
  • Olympus PEN E-PL6
  • Phase One IQ260*
  • Pentax Ricoh GR
  • Panasonic LUMIX DMC-G6
  • Panasonic LUMIX DMC-LF1
