Adobe has released Photoshop Lightroom 4.4 and Adobe Camera Raw 7.4. These are final versions of updates that were originally posted as ‘release candidates’ on the Adobe Labs site, and are available for immediate download. The latest versions include Raw support for 25 additional cameras, including the Nikon D7100, Canon EOS 100D, Fujifilm X100s and Sony SLT-A58. Corrections to the demosaicing algorithms for previously supported Fujifilm X-Trans and EXR sensor cameras are included along with several new lens profiles.
We’ve tried out the final version of 7.4 on Fujifilm X-Trans sensor cameras we have in the office and on the very few images in which we saw magenta fringing around white edges in the release candidate, the final release of ACR 7.4 does eliminate the issue. And while Adobe has slightly increased the default sharpening amount for Fujifilm X-Pro1 and X-E1 raw files, the differences are very subtle, visible only along very fine edges when comparing the RC and final 7.4 versions side by side at a 100% view.
