DESCRIPTION
Adobe DNG Converter is a free utility that converts files from more than 75 cameras to Digital Negative (DNG), enables you to easily convert camera-specific raw files to a more universal DNG RAW file.
Visit the Camera RAW page for a complete list of supported cameras.
Camera Raw 5.6 also provides a a fix for an issue affecting PowerPC customers using the final Camera Raw 5.5 and DNG Converter 5.5 updates on the Mac. The issue, introduced in the demosaic change to address sensors with unequal green response, has the potential to create artifacts in highlight areas when processing raw files from Sony, Olympus, Panasonic and various medium format digital camera backs.
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.4 or later.
Adobe Creative Suite 4 software, Photoshop CS4, or Photoshop Elements 6.0,
MACSOLU Why doesn't Adobe's CS3 "Adobe Updater" application (in the Utilities folder) see this as an update that should be automatically downloaded and installed? The preferences for Adobe Updater are set to include every possible component of the CS3 family. I have version 4.2 of the Plug-in; the Adobe Updater fails to locate and recommend this 4.3.1 update. (Version 4.3.1)
JRISKIN 3.7 is supposed to support the Pentax K10D. I tried both the plug and the converter and its corrupting the data passed about 65% of the file. Tried several files, same results. All in PEF format. I already switched to DNG (which works fine with or without this update), but I have some PEF's I took right when I got my camera and I was hoping to update them to DNG. (Version 3.7)
PAWLIGER If you visit the ACR/DNG web page at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html you will find this notice:
Note: Adobe Camera Raw 3.6 development has been accelerated to accommodate recently announced cameras such as the Nikon D80 and the Canon EOS 400D / Digital Rebel Xti. The update will be provided this fall. (Version 3.5)

ANONYMOUS ...and it seems to have been pulled. 3.1 is the latest version I can find in that directory. Wonder what happened. (Version 3.2)
TOURNESOL HUH?! There is only a RAM plugin in the dmg file, no DNG converter and no installation instructions. Where the h... should I put it? And why is this update nowhere to be found on Adobe.com??? (Version 3.2)
TOURNESOL I meant RAW plugin, not RAM :-) (Version 3.2)

ANONYMOUS I haven't downloaded this update yet, but since this is merely an update to an older Camera Raw plug-in, you should be able to simply replace the older version that's in your Photoshop plug-ins folder... (Version 3.2)

LARRY GORBET The RAW plug-in goes in the folder Plug-Ins/File Formats. The DNG converter goes in your overall Photoshop/Elements folder. Tried them on my Panasonic FZ30 and Elements 3.0 and they work. (Version 3.2)
