Adobe Camera Raw is an extension of Adobe Photoshop that was created to work with raw files. It provides photographers and amateurs with one of the most powerful instruments for straightforward editing and post-processing images.
An Overview of Adobe Camera Raw
Raw is a file format that contains unprocessed data from a camera sensor, allowing for much more variability in adjustments than ready-to-use formats like JPEG. ACR is a kind of digital darkroom that allows for the application of a tremendous number of corrections, effects, and other manipulations to the picture without damaging its quality. Such software is based on sliders and instruments for changing visual parameters. It can perform non-destructive editing, which means it can be easily made undone at any time.
Adobe releases ACR updates periodically to ensure that the plugin sufficiently supports the raw formats of the newest camera models. Using Adobe Camera Raw, interworking with Photoshop and Adobe Bridge in a post-processing pipeline for photo editing becomes highly productive. It brings broad opportunities for overall picture quality control.
