Lightroom 2.7 – Windows / Mac

ACR 5.7 – Windows / Mac

Highlights from release notes:

* Camera Raw 5.7 includes an updated demosaic algorithm designed to provide compatibility with settings applied in Lightroom 3 beta 2.

* Lightroom 2.7 also includes the same updated demosaic algorithm. The updated demosaic algorithm will appear as a subtle shift in noise characteristics at default values.

* By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in the Lightroom 3 beta 2 develop module.  However, at this time Camera Raw 5.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
 – Highlight Priority and Color Priority post-crop vignette
 – Enhanced Luminance and Color Noise Reduction
 – Grain effects
 – Process Version
