Adobe has had a rough go of it lately and as a result, more photographers have been asking what legitimate options exist that can replace Photoshop and Lightroom. I've been testing a few and while they're all capable performance-wise, I'm left feeling spoiled by Adobe's absurdly fast support for new camera RAW profiles.
Over a decade ago, Lytro launched with a curious idea: what if a photo didn't have to stay the same after it was taken? What if perspective had control that could be played with again and again?
Adobe Photoshop contains a very broad and deep set of tools for making edits and adjustments to images. While there is little limitation to what can be achieved using the native tools available in Photoshop for more than two decades, they may not be as intuitive and user-friendly to photographers who have spent most of their time editing raw images in Lightroom.
Let’s face it, not everyone who ends up in front of your camera is going to have amazing white teeth like the model in the photo above. There are going to be times when you have a client whose teeth might be stained.
When Lightroom CC originally launched it was woefully behind Classic from a features perspective. Photographers who had come to expect certain tools and performance were greeted with an underpowered CC, and few gave it a second glance after that. But now, nearly five years later, those same photographers might not know that they are nearly identical now. So then, why do we have two versions of the same software?
One of the most exciting advancements in digital photography over the last several years has been the rapid increase in the ability to shoot and edit RAW photos.
Adobe has announced that RAW photo editing support is coming to its Photoshop iPad app through a teaser video it has published to its YouTube channel.
Adobe has announced that it will be launching a redesigned and more powerful way to make selective adjustments -- collectively referred to as masking -- in Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) and all Lightroom applications at the end of October.
Color grading is a vital part of creating an eye-catching image, especially if you’re shooting raw. There are many ways to tackle it, of course, but in this 12-minute video and article, I want to show my personal Lightroom color grading process from start to finish.
When Adobe first unveiled Super Resolution, it gave photos a chance to increase in size without losing any quality, but it wasn’t clear whether that kind of magic extended to the trove of images on people’s smartphones.
The megapixel race has picked up steam lately with most new models exceeding 45-megapixels and rumors circulating of 100-megapixel sensors on the horizon. But what if low-resolution images from cameras like Sony's a7S III and Canon's R6 offered more detail along with added low light benefits? Now they can.
Adobe’s new Super Resolution is making a big splash in the industry as photographers can output cleaner upscaled images at four times the original pixel count. Is it really impressive enough to take the crown from Topaz Labs’ Gigapixel AI?
Adobe just dropped its latest software updates via the Creative Cloud and among those updates is a new feature in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) called “Super Resolution.” You can mark this day down as a major shift in the photo industry.
Earlier this week, Adobe released major updates for Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera RAW, with new and improved features across the board. But if the announcement was a bit overwhelming, don't worry: Colin Smith at PhotoshopCAFE has put together a demo of every new feature that Adobe just added to these products.
Early this morning, Adobe unveiled a massive feature drop across the entire Creative Cloud ecosystem. Every app that matters to photographers—from Photoshop, to Lightroom, to Camera RAW—has been updated with exciting new features, design updates and, well, some new logos, too.
The folks at SLR Lounge and DVLOP have teamed up to create a new venture called Visual Flow, which today unveiled a new patent-pending "lighting condition-based approach to image development."
Loupedeck has announced that it's popular photo editing console is now compatible with Adobe Camera Raw. Photoshop integration was previously launched in late 2018.
Earlier this month, Adobe released an update that massively revamped its Camera Profiles, renaming the feature Profiles. In addition to 6 new Adobe Raw profiles, there are also creative profiles. And instead of downloading and/or buying third-party creative profiles, you can make your own.
Adobe today announced a "massive update" to its Camera Profiles feature. It's now simply known as Profiles, and the way they're accessed has been redesigned.
Photoshop CS6 lacks the powerful Dehaze feature Adobe released in 2015 and the program no longer gets updates, but for those unwilling to switch to Adobe’s subscription model it’s the latest version available. If you're on CS6 and you want Dehaze, there's actually a way: these free presets from Dave Cross will “fool” Camera Raw into applying Dehaze in CS6.
VSCO has just announced that it's releasing its popular mobile app photo filters on desktop. The filters are packaged in a pack called VSCO Mobile Presets 01 (MP1).
Adobe today announced its latest updates to Lightroom and Camera Raw. In addition to new lens support and various bug fixes, the updates bring a brand new feature called Guided Upright -- it's a tool that lets you easily straighten lines in photos.
Adobe Camera Raw is no longer the ugly duckling of the Adobe photo editing software family. Adobe just released version 9.5 of the RAW conversion software, and the update brings a new user interface that matches the look of Photoshop and Bridge.
Adobe today announced its latest updates for Lightroom and Camera Raw. In addition to various bug fixes and new lens and camera support, the main upgrade is the introduction of a new feature called Boundary Warp. It's designed to solve the issue of irregular boundaries when creating stitched panoramas.
Adobe's new Dehaze slider has been wowing photographers since it was launched for Lightroom and Adobe Camera RAW last month. We've seen what it can do for haze, rainy days, and blizzards, but there's yet another interesting application: enhancing photos of the starry night sky.
That Dehaze feature that Adobe teased last month is now official for Photoshop's Adobe Camera RAW and Lightroom in a major new Creative Cloud update. The feature helps eliminate fog and haze from photos to create "startlingly clear images."
In this post, I'll share a trick I use to get some adjustments "beyond" +100 or -100 in Lightroom and Adobe Camera Raw.
In the screenshot above, I like how most of the image looks -- the bird and the branches are well exposed, at least. But the blue sky got blown out to almost pure white. I already moved the Highlights slider down to -100 and it's still pretty white. I want to go past -100.
If you're just starting out in Photoshop, Adobe Camera Raw, and/or landscape photography, here's a video you may find enlightening. Landscape photographer Joshua Cripps offers a quick walkthrough of his post-processing methods, turning a straight-out-of-camera RAW photo of a lake scene into a finished shot.
Adobe made a big announcement for Lightroom CC/6 yesterday, but if you use Adobe Camera Raw for your RAW processing, don't worry: Adobe didn't forget about you. Adobe also quietly rolled out Adobe Camera Raw 9, an update that includes a few of the same big features that were introduced with great fanfare for Lightroom CC.
Aperture users and G.A.S. sufferers take note: version 5.7 of Adobe's Lightroom and 8.7 of Camera RAW have officially dropped with the Aperture Importer Tool and support for some of the newest and most exciting DSLRs now built right in.
