Camera Raw is a powerful plug-in, a tool for professional photographers that provides quick and easy access to raw images that you have imported directly from the camera in Photoshop Editor. Works with many professional and amateur cameras from leading manufacturers. By working with so-called "digital negatives", it is possible to achieve the desired results in their artistic processing while saving "raw" files.
