Adobe released the next version of Adobe Camera Raw – 8.6 – for Photoshop CC and CS6.
One of the big enhancements in this new version of Camera Raw is improvement in performance when batch processing images, both through the Save button in Camera Raw and when converting images to DNG in the DNG Converter.
As you are probably aware, updates to Camera Raw 8 for Photoshop CS6 only include bug fixes, new camera support and lens profile support. Any new features will be available for Camera Raw 8 for Photoshop CC only.
New cameras that are supported in Camera Raw 8.6 are:
- Nikon D810
- Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000
- Panasonic Lumix AG-GH4

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed crash on launch in some cases on Hi DPI (Retina) systems.
- Fixed crash when opening some Sigma SD9 raw files.
- Fixed issue with JPEG images saved by Camera Raw not readable in some external applications.
- Fixed automatic lens profile selection for Leica M (Typ 240) when using most recent firmware version.
- Fixed issue with some Hasselblad H5D-50c and H5D-60 3FR raw images appearing slightly too dark. Unfortunately, this fix may affect the appearance of existing images captured with this combination of settings. It is recommended that you (1) purge the Camera Raw cache via the Camera Raw Preferences dialog, and (2) review previously captured images for unexpected brightness changes.
- Fixed bug with converting Nikon D810 and Nikon D4S sRaw files to DNG.
- Tweaked and updated the Adobe Standard color profile for the Nikon D810. Please note that this only impacts customers that used Camera Raw 8.6 RC with the Nikon D810.
