In this tutorial for Photoshop CS6 users, we'll take a tour of the Camera Raw interface and learn where all of the various tools, panels and other features are located, so you can begin processing your raw, JPEG or even TIFF images in Adobe Camera Raw with all of the simplicity, freedom and flexibility it offers. I've been given the opportunity to chose between the old en the new user interface in Camera RAW when I wanted to open RAW-files from Bridge 2020. There was a remark that I could change this setting later, if I wanted to. I choose the new UI, but I don't like it. And now I can't go back! Adobe has made final release versions of Camera Raw 8.6 and DNG Converter 8.6 available. This update adds support for the Nikon D810, Panasonic Lumix AG-GH4 (GH4 with interface unit) and Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ1000, as well as several bug fixes. Color profiles are added for the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 III, A7S and Alpha SLT-A77 II. Also included are a number of new lens profiles.
Note:
Digital cameras produce raw format images that need to be processed and converted to an editable file format before making any adjustments. Adobe Camera RAW is an Adobe Photoshop plug-in that enables you to access raw image formats generated by a wide collection of digital cameras, without having. I have been experiencing shadow and black issues with the Canon 5DS files being processed through camera raw. When using the provided Canon file viewer the images are correct, but when using Bridge and ACR the highlights and shadows have to be compensated for to match previous 5D Mark III.
