However, Camera Raw is actually pretty straightforward to use. When you open it, it looks like there are lots of sliders to drag and buttons to press. At first glance, the Camera Raw interface in Photoshop seems a little scary. Aperture has those too in case you’re wondering.If you want to edit and enhance photographs quickly in Photoshop, you need to know how to use Camera Raw. Plus with Lightroom there’s a whole slew of pre-sets. Aperture is now selling for about $80 in the Apple App store which is very competitive with both Photoshop Elements and LR.įYI – Here’s a screen grab of the Lightroom develop window, because I knew you’d ask! You can see that it looks much different at first glance, but all the features of ACR Photoshop CS5 are in there.
(I recently got my Lightroom for only $130 when I purchased a new camera at Vistek.) Keep your eyes peeled for deals out there. So if you have Photoshop CS6 you really don’t need Lightroom, but if you want to save a few hundred bucks and don’t need all that CS6 super power, you could get a Lightroom and Elements combination for under $200. Lightroom has the same raw work flow features as Photoshop’s version of ACR.
I’m a huge fan of the raw imaging work flow, so as an alternative, I suggest you use Adobe Lightroom, or Apple Aperture if you want to really make the most out of those raw files. I suppose if you had never used Photoshop you wouldn’t know what you were missing. I know I’ve written in the past that you don’t need Photoshop, but maybe some of you do. I suggest you view this video full screen as it has a lot of detail in it that you’re going to want to see. In fact I deliberately put different photos in there so you wouldn’t confuse the two. When you first see each of the ACR windows they look the same.
