Revised Adobe RAW Plug In for Photoshop

2003-10-22 by Kip Babington

I've been using the Adobe RAW plug in for Photoshop 7 since about a week 
after it came out, and have been quite pleased with its functionality as 
compared to using standalone programs to convert Nikon raw files before PS 
manipulation.  But I just opened a NEF file and was greeted with a 
completely new (and radically less comprehensive)  screen.  Whereas before 
I had sliders for color temp, exposure, tint, shadow density, brightness, 
contrast, sharpness, smoothness, and I think something else, now I see only 
a slider for exposure and a drop down list of color temp settings (that 
match the camera - no more continuous slider.)

I have not downloaded anything new from Adobe since I got the RAW plug in, 
although PS7 routinely dials up the Adobe site on occasion as it's being 
opened and appears to download two files.

Has anyone else noticed this change?  I'm VERY unhappy with the limitations 
of the new interface, and have to wonder where it came from.  Did I just 
miss an announcement somewhere that Adobe was going to do this automatically?

Cheers,
Kip

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
