Foveon Inc announced today that Adobe Systems Incorporated now provides Foveon X3F raw file support with their free plug-in update for Photoshop CS. The new Adobe Camera Raw 2.2 plug-in is immediately available for download online at the Adobe website. Foveon X3F raw files produce stunningly high-quality images and come from digital cameras that incorporate the Foveon X3 direct image sensor. Current models available include the 10 Megapixel Sigma SD9 and SD10, and newly announced 4.5 Megapixel Polaroid x530 digital cameras. Foveon X3 direct image sensors create vibrant, sharp images, since they are the only image sensor chips that directly capture color in three layers (red, green and blue) at every point in the image, just like color film.
