New Cameras and ACR

Adobe has figured out a way to make us upgrade to the next generation on Photoshop and Lightroom, by not allowing/providing updates in ACR for new camera models as they are released. Yes, I know that was a convoluted, inadequate, and probably technically inaccurate sentence, but I hope you get my drift. Is there a work-around? Is there a way to convert NEF files to DNG that will allow older versions of ACR to handle newer cameras? :dunno

    Um, can't you download the Adobe DNG converter? Maybe I am missing something.

    Right. Adobe does make their DNG converter available for free, so that's one choice. Another is the use whatever raw conversion software was provided with the camera to convert to TIF and then process it further in PS or LR. The path of least resistance, of course, is to upgrade the Adobe software. mwink.gif
