Adobe Camera Raw is a outstanding must-have strong Adobe Photoshop plugin that provides fast access to the raw image formats.

Adobe Camera Raw offers precise control of exposure compensation, shadow intensity, brightness, contrast, saturation, colour temperature and tint, as well as histogram curves, compensation for lens problems such as chromatic fringes and vignetting, three different levels of sharpness and specific pre-set colour profiles. As well as this it can straighten lop-sided horizons, show shadow or highlight clipping and allows final output in a range of image sizes up to 6,144 x 4,101 pixels (over 25 megapixels) with minimal loss of quality. Images can be saved as an uncompressed TIFF file, so there is no danger of loss of image quality due to JPEG compression.

To process images using the Camera Raw, select the files you wish to import in Bridge, choosing File from the Menu bar, selecting Open In Camera Raw. Equally dragging a Raw file onto your Photoshop Icon will open up an image into the Camera Raw Interface.

The advantage of using the Camera Raw to make image adjustments is that the original Raw image data is preserved and you can always return to the original Raw image should you need to.

As new camera models are released onto the market, new versions of Camera Raw become available and you can check for the latest Camera Raw versions by choosing Help from the Menu Bar, selecting Updates.
