This new feature gives you a handy Amount slider to control the strength of presets. Six of the best new raw tools in Adobe Camera Raw This not only means we can change any edit at any time, but also makes it easy to copy edits between photos. We can set a white balance after the fact, or pull detail out of shadows and highlights with far greater headroom than JPEGs.īecause raw files are essentially impossible to open and alter, any changes we make are saved as extra data alongside the file. As such, the raw file isn’t so much a single image as a range of image choices, and we get to choose which version we want. By contrast, in JPEG format the image is processed in-camera and any extraneous information discarded. Raw files contain all the ‘raw’ data your camera sensor is capable of recording. We’ll begin by exploring the powerful new features and tools in Adobe Camera Raw, then we’ll take a look at DxO’s innovative PureRaw, the constantly evolving Capture One and the groundbreaking Luminar Neo.
Below, we’ll explore some of the best new ways to work with raw files. It’s not just Adobe software that leads the way here.Īlthough Lightroom and Camera Raw are still excellent choices when it comes to raw, there are equally good options elsewhere. Not only can we make all those initial changes to process the image, we can also take advantage of selection tools powered by artificial intelligence, precise luminosity masks, intelligent resolution-boosting commands and noise-fixing tools so good you never again have to worry about shooting at upwards of ISO 6400. But these days even the term ‘raw processor’ seems a bit outdated, because raw editors now offer so much more than just image file handling. Raw software has always been necessary for ‘processing’ our raw files – as in making initial rudimentary changes to enhance tones, crop and sharpen, and so on. Raw photo-editing has evolved rapidly over the past few years. James Paterson shows how to use some of the best new tools
With AI-powered tools and advanced features, raw editing software has come a long way.
