Adobe Camera Raw support for Olympus Pen E-P1

Today Adobe posted release candidates for ACR and DNG 5.5 which extend RAW support to the new Olympus E-P1 .OCR raw files.  These are release candidates meaning they have been tested but are not yet in the final release version.  ACR 5.5 is only supported by Photoshop CS4 so photographers like me who primarily use Lightroom (along with CS3) will need to convert their files to DNG (digital negative) format before importing them into Lightroom.  This is an option I'll be testing soon.

The downloads can be found here.

Enjoy!

[Update: installed ACR 5.5 and converted a batch of E-P1 RAW files to DNG format, imported them into Lightroom 2.4 and did some minor editing then exported at Jpegs.  Everything worked well as expected as can seen by the results below.]
