Adobe Systems has released the final version of Lightroom 2.3, its photo-editing and cataloguing software, along with its close relative, the Camera Raw 5.3 plug-in to let Photoshop CS4 edit raw images from higher-end cameras.
The new software (available as a download for Windows and Mac OS X) supports Nikon's top-end D3X, a 24.5-megapixel machine whose owners likely will prefer RAW files for their flexibility and quality advantages over JPEG. Also supported is Olympus' new mid-range E-30.
Apple also added support for RAW image files from Nikon's D3X. Apple's Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.5 also adds support for Epson's R-D1x digital rangefinder camera, according to the Apple support page.
The software enables Aperture 2, iPhoto '08 and iPhoto '09 to interpret the cameras' raw files, proprietary formats that include more information than JPEGs. The update requires Mac OS X 10.4.11, Mac OS X 10.5.3 or later.
