Existing users, 
To the last two comments:
-- the DNG converter is an "application." Have you ever seen one before? It goes wherever you drag it; one possible location is the "Applications" folder. How long have you been using computers?
-- Adobe's put its plugins in the same place for *years*. YEARS. How long have you been using Macs? And Photoshop?
Don't anyone blame Adobe. They didn't do anything new, or surprising. If you're using Photoshop with RAW files, and you've figured out how your mouse works, then you can figure out what the "Plugins" folder is for. Sheesh.

User Error (gg double-posters) - J!mmy Inconceivable
...never said it did. File Formats is a subdirectory of Plug-Ins. The directory structure past Plug-Ins has been static for quite some time, and the various subdirectories there are intuitively named.For those that at least *try* it only takes a moment to figure out for the first time (even for the people that didn't want to Google for the instructions, which are the fourth link down and easier to find and follow than it is to log-in here and *censored* about it.)

The Camera Raw Plug-In DOES NOT go in the Plugins folder. It belongs inLibrary/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats

Actually, J!mmy Inconceivable, you’re quite in error yourself about where the Camera Raw plug-in goes in Photoshop CS2. Because it’s now used by Bridge, which is a standalone application in CS2, the Camera Raw plug-in goes in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS2/File Formats. In order to install the update properly I had to do a search of my hard drive to find it precisely because it was not in the same place in CS2 as it was in CS and earlier versions. And, since this is, in fact, a dramatic change, I do think Adobe is remiss in not explaining it. ReadMe files are standard with most software, including updates and, considering the effort Adobe is putting into keeping the Raw plug-in up-to-date, it would not stretch their resources in the slightest to include one with these Camera Raw and DNG Converter updates. In particular, because they are trying to encourage the adoption of DNG as a standard file format, it would behoove them to treat their users with appropriate courtesy by including a ReadMe file with the updates. Simply good practice and good business.Tuesday, September 27 2005 @ 01:16 PM PDT
