Author ACR 2.4
Brian

2006-05-12, 6:16 pm

Although I've the latest version (3.4) of Camera Raw installed I only
have the option of ACR 2.4 as a camera profile. I assume it's because
my camera's profile hasn't been updated (EOS 300D) since the original
version, but could someone plaease confirm this - the Adobe
documentation is a bit vague but could be read as all the original
cameras should be ACR 3 with CS2.

Thanks

I have a 20D and I also have ACR 3.4 installed and like Brian, I only
get the choice of ACR 2.4 as a camera profile. According to Adobe's
ACR 3.4 documentation
(http://www.adobe.com/special/photos.../Camera_Raw_3.4
_ReadMe.pdf) both the 20D and 300D are supported in ACR 3.4. If
you're saying that neither of these cameras allows the choice of an
ACR 3.4 profile, then were does Adobe list the cameras that actually
can use ACR 3.4?

All cameras supported in earlier versions of ACR are supported in 3.4.
Support has never been removed for any camera, as far as I know.

What happens is that when a camera is supported by ACR, it has to have
a profile built in. The version of that profile is typically that of
the first version of ACR that supported it. But if Adobe decide later
that they can improve the profile, they will add that new profile to a
future ACR, and the new profile will have the new version number.

But ... Adobe still make the old profile available to people who want
it. Perhaps people want to be able to reprocess old images that they
have already processed with the old profile, and don't want to use the
new profile. Perhaps they simply prefer the old profile! So Adobe make
both profiles available via the drop-down menu.

If your camera only has one version there, it simply means that Adobe
are currently satisfied with the first profile they released for the
camera, and haven't provided a new version. Don't worry about it - most
cameras only have one profile.
