Photo Editing in Photoshop's Adobe Camera Raw
Art, Games & Hobbies
Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) was originally designed for processing RAW images (most 35mm cameras save an image either as a JPG or RAW image – a RAW image is a more robust format and is preferable for serious digital editing). There are three reasons Adobe Camera Raw may be preferable to Photoshop for digital editing: Photoshop is complex and difficult to master. Adobe Camera Raw, though still demanding, is considerably easier to learn and use. ACR has an extensive variety of editing tools. It has more than enough resources to meet the requirements of most amateur and professional photographers. ACR is designed to edit not only RAW images, but also JPG, TIF, and other image formats.Editing is almost mandatory for making a picture look the same as what the naked eye sees, can benefit from some editing, and be used to transform photographs into something entirely different and unique. You will receive a handout in class.
