 p.1 #5 · Raw converter profiles for new cameras | |
Adobe tends to be rather unpredictable. They release updates to Adobe Camera Raw pretty much on a timetable, not according to the availability of new cameras. If a new camera comes out just before an ACR update is about to be done, support can be within a few weeks. If the camera comes out just after an ACR update is "locked down" prior to release, it can be a few months.
There is a guessing game going on as to whether Adobe will bother to update ACR 3 (for CS2) with the 40D profile, or if they'll only update ACR 4, trying to force 40D owners to upgrade to CS3.
The first out of the gate is almost always dcraw. I think this is because they don't care about profiling the camera, they just need to know what the identification string is in the EXIF and then they use some kind of generic color profile.
SilkyPix is usually second. Maybe it's their Japanese location, but they often get camera updates pushed out within a week or two.
