Overview
Welcome to the Adobe® Photoshop® Camera Raw 6.1 plug-in release candidate on Adobe Labs. The Camera Raw plug-in provides easy access within Photoshop to the raw image formats produced by many leading professional and midrange digital cameras. The ‘release candidate’ label indicates that the plug-in is well tested but would benefit from additional community testing before it is distributed automatically to all of our customers. The Camera Raw team would like the community to help verify the quality of the plug-in through normal usage as this will ensure that the plug-in is tested on a diversity of hardware and software configurations not available internally at Adobe.
If you do experience an issue with this release candidate please report it to the Camera Raw User to User forum.
For more information on the Camera Raw plug-in please visit the Camera Raw pages on Adobe.com.
