View and convert the native raw image files from many contemporary Canon, Casio, Kodak, Konica, Nikon, Leica, Minolta, Olympus, Panasonic, Pentax, Sigma and Sony high-end digital cameras, plus Adobe Digital Negative files, to access the highest possible image quality for your digital photography.

Note that this plugin set will convert raw digital camera files to other formats — it will not download files from your camera. The software which accompanied your camera is required to manage image downloads.

This plugin costs $34.99 (US).
