In this release the native,  proprietary files from these cameras can only be converted to linear  DNG files. A linear DNG file has gone through a demosaic process that  converts a single mosaic layer of red, green and blue channel  information into three distinct layers , one for each channel. The  resulting linear DNG file is approximately three times the size of a  mosaic DNG file or the original proprietary file format. <\/p>\n<p>This exception is a temporary solution to ensure that Panasonic  and Leica&#8217;s intended image rendering from their proprietary raw file  format is applied to an image when converted DNG files are viewed in  third party software titles. The same image rendering process is  applied automatically in Camera Raw 5.2 and in Lightroon 2.2 when  viewing the original proprietary raw file format. <\/p>\n<p>In a future release Adobe plans to update the DNG specification  to include an option to embed metadata-based representations of the  lens compensations in the DNG file, allowing a mosaic DNG conversion.  In the interim Adobe recommends only converting these files to DNG to  allow compatibility with third party raw converters, previous versions  of the Camera Raw plug-in or previous versions of Lightroom. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Camera Raw 5.2 and DNG Converter 5.2 are now available on Adobe.com.(For Photoshop CS4 customers I recommend choosing the &#8216;Updates&#8230;&#8217; option from the Help menu)&#160; This release includes additional features and new camera support.&#160; Lightroom will be updated to version 2.2 in December to provide the equivalent camera support.
