If you haven't already upgraded toPhotoshop CS, Adobe just gave you one more reason to do so —Camera Raw 2.1. First introduced exactly a year ago, in February 2003, as a $99 plug-in for Photoshop 7, then bundled as part of Photoshop CS, the latest version 2.1 is a free download for anyone who owns Photoshop CS. It isn't available for any previous version of Photoshop because it is now more tightly integrated into Photoshop itself.
If you're just finding out about 2.1, and are ready to download a copy, it's a quick-to-get 1.5MB ZIP or SIT file (PC or Mac), assuming of course that you have a high-speed connection. Even if you don't, it's still won't take you too long to get.Here is the download page.
Released in mid-February 2004, simultaneous with thePMAshow in Las Vegas, Camera Raw 2.1 has added support for a raft of new cameras.
