ACR is Adobe Camera Raw. The current version for PC is either 3.4 or  
3.5, similar numbering for the Mac. When I got my first Nikon D2x,  
ACR 2.4 was the last version that would run in PS CS (Not CS 2) and I  
could not open my RAW files. When Adobe released a version of ACR  
that would work with my NEF files (3.2 if memory serves) they made  
sure it was NOT backwardly compatible with PS CS, it would only work  
with CS 2, forcing me to upgrade if I didn't want to be bothered with  
the DNG conversion (or other Raw coverts) process.

Hope that helps, Alan

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.
