The update includes the new lens correction functionality first seen in Photoshop CS5.
Adobe has announced the immediate availability of Camera Raw 6.1 Release Candidate at Adobe Labs.
Highlights of the update include:
• Newly supported camera models include: Canon EOS 550D (Digital Rebel T2i/ EOS Kiss X4 Digital), Kodak Z981, Leaf Aptus-II 8, Mamiya DM40, Olympus E-PL1, Olympus E-600, Panasonic G2, Panasonic G10 and Sony A450.
• Camera Raw 6.1 includes new lens correction functionality that can apply profile-based corrections to accommodate geometric distortions, chromatic aberration and lens vignette effects. Manual corrections for geometric distortion as well as vertical and horizontal perspective transforms are also available. A handful of lens profiles are included for automatic correction and more can be created by the community with the Adobe Lens Profile Creator.
• This release addresses a bug on the Mac platform that could cause Photoshop CS5 to quit unexpectedly when opening a file in the Camera Raw 6.0 plug-in.
• This release contains performance enhancements designed to improve the responsiveness of the controls and the scrolling mechanism relative to Camera Raw 6.0.
