Adobe Camera Raw 17 is a powerful plugin for Adobe Photoshop, built for professional photographers who work with RAW images. It enables seamless importing, editing, and enhancement of RAW files with precision and control. The integrated RAW converter in Photoshop provides quick access to image formats from leading professional and midrange digital cameras, ensuring high-quality results with every edit.
By working with these digital negatives, photographers gain complete creative control and flexibility over every detail of their images. This efficient workflow allows precise adjustments to exposure, color, and tone while preserving the integrity of the original RAW files for true professional results.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom software is built on the same powerful RAW processing technology as the Adobe Camera Raw plugin.
This advanced plugin is regularly updated to support new camera models and enhance functionality. Included as part of Adobe Photoshop, the Adobe Camera Raw plugin ensures seamless compatibility and performance. It also fully supports RAW images in the Digital Negative (DNG) format, giving photographers a consistent and reliable editing experience.
Adobe DNG Converter
It is a free utility that converts camera-specific RAW files from over 350 cameras to the universal DNG format.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an openly published RAW file specification that stores the pixel data captured by the camera sensor before it is converted into JPEG or TIFF formats. It also includes standard EXIF metadata, such as the date, time, camera used, and camera settings. This format is freely available for other software and hardware vendors.
When working with RAW files, they are not compressed or processed in the camera. Instead, Adobe software gives users complete control over the conversion settings. For example, white balance is not applied directly to the RAW file but is stored with it, allowing the software to default to the originally intended setting. DNG files also contain standard EXIF metadata, similar to JPEG files, including date, time, camera used, and camera settings.
