To get the best image quality from your
SLR or compact system camera, you need
to be shooting in the raw image format.
Raw files contain much more detail in
the scene compared with a simple JPEG,
and provide far more flexibility to adjust
contrast, colour and exposure at the
editing stage. If you tried to do the same with a JPEG, you’ll
soon end up with a pixelated mess!
There are many ways to process your raw files, and the
most popular and best software is one of the Photoshop
family of programs. Whether you use Photoshop CS or CC,
Photoshop Lightroom or Photoshop Elements, the conversion
process is powered using the powerful built-in plugin called
Adobe Camera Raw.
The range of controls you get in Adobe Camera Raw
depends on the version of Photoshop you’re using. You get
a greater range of features with Photoshop CC, for instance,
than you do with Photoshop Elements 12. But the core
functionality is available in all versions, so whatever version
of Photoshop you’re using, you’ll be sure to find plenty in
this book to improve your photo-editing skills.
