Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.2 & Camera Raw 7.2 both in RC @ Adobe Labs

New Camera Support

The following new cameras are now supported:
•Canon EOS 650D / Rebel T4i
•Canon EOS M
•Fuji FinePix F800EXR
•Leaf Credo 40
•Leaf Credo 60
•Nikon 1 J2
•Panasonic DMC-FZ200
•Panasonic DMC-G5
•Panasonic DMC-LX7
•Pentax K-30
•Sony DSC-RX100

Camera Raw 7.2 release candidate includes tools to recover image sensor data typically lost when shooting in a camera crop mode (e.g., 3:2, 16:9, 1:1). You can view the entire recorded image and are not limited to just the crop mode selected in camera. This functionality is available to the newly supported cameras in both Lightroom 4.2 RC and Camera Raw 7.2 RC. This new feature does not work in Nikon or Panasonic cameras as cameras from these vendors crop the raw data to the chosen aspect ratio.

EOS Bodies / Is DxOMark Delaying publishing the 5DMkIII Results?

« on: March 28, 2012, 06:47:01 PM »

I'm not sure about the other countries, but here in Australia when we had demonstrations of the new cameras done by both Nikon and Canon two days apart, the D800 shown was still a pre-production model while the 5DMkIII was a brand new retail unit straight out of the box...

This leads to the obvious questions, are the results posted for pre-production or retail product and why haven't the Canon results been posted yet?

EOS Bodies / How is Canon going to compete with the grey market in Australia?

« on: March 04, 2012, 11:56:15 PM »

I just came across this article today - http://www.channelnews.com.au/Digital_Cameras/Compact_DC/V8E9H8M6
New Canon EOS 5D Mark III Set To Be Available Via Cheap Grey Channel

Given that Sigma have been price matching the Grey market for over a year, and Nikon planning to "match overseas grey pricing and supply a two year warranty to consumers who buy their products via a Nikon approved retailer", what are Canon going to do to support those of up trying to attain CPS membership and purchase through the "authorised" distrubutors?

I'm already finding it almost impossible when trying to sell my old lenses when I upgrade to newer versions - even when still under warranty as i'm competing against new product through local comsumer stores that sell so much below what i purchased it for. Getting a 30% return on a 1-2 year old lens is financial suicide - Another reason for longer refresh times from the market.

Maybe if enough of us in Australia request a fair go from Canon they may do something - especially with the strength of the local currency.

Hi All,

I'm just after a recommendation of Portrait editing plugins for Photoshop/Lightroom (Windows Platform).

The two I have been thinking of are "Portrait Professional" (http://www.portraitprofessional.com) and "Portraiture" (http://www.imagenomic.com/pt.aspx)...

Added - I'm also interested in comments/reviews of onOne Software's Perfect Photo Suite...

I would be interested in comments/recommendations/comparisons of these or other products.

Wanting to buy in the next few days...

Please ignore the product adverts from this site - Urgently after comments from those that have reviewed or worked with these products.
