Adobe Camera Raw is a separate utility that allows
you to process images captured in the raw format
by sophisticated cameras. In this video lesson, I’ll
develop a raw file right before your eyes, bringing
out detail and color that don’t appear to be there
at the beginning. I’ll also demonstrate some of the
newer features in Camera Raw: automatic noise ad-
justment, targeted adjustments, and the ability to
save multiple variations as snapshots.
