Adobe releases 8.8 update for Camera Raw and DNG Converter

Adobe has released Camera Raw 8.8 for Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC. In addition to fixing a few bugs from the previous version, they’ve added support for a plethora of new lenses and cameras.

On the bug fix front, Adobe has taken care of an issue regarding the magenta highlights when working with Canon EOS 70D RAW files at particular ISO settings. Also fixed are various vignetting issues that have plagued images taken with the following lenses: Voigtlander VM 21mm f/1.8 Ultron, Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24–85mm f/3.5–4.5G ED VR, Zeiss Distagon T 1,4_35 ZM and Pentax FA645 MACRO 120mm F4.

Additional changes include the correction of the EXIF name for Zeiss’ OTUS 85mm f/1.4 (Canon and Nikon Mount) and an updated lens profile to account for the firmware changes to Sigma’s 150–600mm F5–6.3 DG OS HSM S014.
