I come Adobe Camera Raw what is it essentially .If you are familiar with Lightroom .It is basically the same thing that what Lightroom does. Adobe Photoshop cannot use raw photos but if you’re a photographer you should
always take photos in raw that’s because that stores data in 16 bits that means loads and loads of information Photoshop.
Once it import city converts it to an 8-bit image .So that basically reduces the amount of information that is in
there but we all know that inside Photoshop ,you can then upgrade it back up to 16 bit off of certain projects.
You can use 16 bit but it has to convert a 16 bit roll photo into say a jpg or whatever an image to work with inside
Photoshop .So that was a long way of saying Adobe Camera Raw converts a raw file into a file that it could use to do
edits on now Lightroom does the same thing .
You have it in Lightroom you do an edit you then put it into Photoshop .It no longer needs to use Adobe Camera Raw
because it’s just done it inside Lightroom.
So anyway let’s jump into Photoshop and I’m going to show you essentially, if you try and open an image there is a raw image what’s going to appear and also how you can use Adobe Camera Raw as a filter inside like in Photoshop .
