Adobe Camera Raw upgrade

does upgraded the version of ACR you use only add support for additional cameras and not change anything else?

I ask this cause when editing 300D raw files it says I'm using ACR 2.4... so I went to adobe and got ACR 3.2... and installed it.. and it still says ACR 2.4.. so I wondered if it displays whatever version of camera raw that camera was originally supported with?

:dunno

    AJ's is the same way!! his original version is ACR 3.0 but when he opens a D70 raw file it says ACR 2.4

    so it must show the version used for that camera originally

    I can send you a 300D raw and you can see what version it gives you?

    No need. I am pretty sure Dani is using ACR 3.2, as per her screenshot, and everything is OK (blame it on Adobe for being a bit confusing). There are 2 things that Adobe track separately... the release version of ACR, and the version of each camera profile within ACR.

    What Dani is seeing is the version of the 300D camera profile. It means that Adobe created the camera profile for the 300D when they released ACR 2.4 and they have not changed it since then. Other cameras (newer ones) might show up as a 3.0, 3.1 or 3.2 profile depending on when the camera profile was created or last revised.

    Short answer is... don't worry, be happy. You are using the latest version :)

    Yup, I have the same thing with my Olympus E-1. Using ACR3.3b, but the profile still shows 2.4. Very confusing, until I learned Adobe's weird number play.
    enjoy being here while getting there
