My copy of the DNG converter (CS2) doesn’t support the D50 body. Does anyone know if the update is available from Adobe yet?

Hi there.

There were quite a few threads, some time ago, about refusal by Nikon to allow Adobe to use some copy write code, needed for the converter. Hence the exclusion of the D50, and I think the D70s.

I do not know if common sense has prevailed yet, because the lack of the Adobe converter is another reason for photographers to stop buying Nikon Cameras.

Nikon can’t go on like that. I hope.

I don’t know if it’s changed, but the last time I looked the D2x, which originally was suffering from the same Nikon proprietary problems, was in the latest ACR.

As A Canon user, it doesn’t bother me except insofar as I don’t want Nikon’s ridiculous attitude to spread. 🙂

Latest ARC handles the D70s, but I do not know if it is listed, as being supported.

I think it is just a matter of time. Adobe add models a few times a year, and presumably they haven’t had time to add the D50 yet, as far as I know. (They officially support the D2X in version 3.1, but without attempting to decrypt the WB, and they support the D70s, but unofficially).

If Nikon gave Adobe the specifications in advance, the cameras could be supported earlier, because Adobe wouldn’t have to reverse-engineer them. Or, better, if Nikon used DNG instead, these problems would go away.

And if people could fly we’d do away with traffic jams 😉
