Camera Raw 3.2 DNG images open with artifacts in Photoshop CS2

Issue

When you convert images to DNG using the Camera Raw 3.2 plug-in and open them in Adobe Photoshop CS2, they contain artifacts.

Solutions

Do one of the following solutions:

Solution 1: Install the Camera Raw 3.3 plug-in update.

Download and install the update from the Adobe website at www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html .

Solution 2: Remove the Camera Raw 3.2 plug-in and reinstall the Camera Raw 3.1 plug-in.

To open your DNG files in Photoshop CS2, remove the Camera Raw 3.2 plug-in and reinstall the Camera Raw 3.1 plug-in.

Note: If you use the Panasonic LX1 or FZ30 camera, use Solution 2.

Solution 3: Open RAW files using Camera Raw 3.2.

Instead of converting images to DNG, open the camera's native RAW files using Camera Raw 3.2.

Background information
