Download Adobe Camera RAW 15.1 (Mac) Free

Digital cameras produce images in raw format, which need to be processed and converted to an editable file format before any adjustments can be made. Adobe Camera Raw is an Adobe Photoshop plug-in that enables you to access raw image formats produced by various digital cameras without the use of third-party converters.

The plugin handles Canon, Kodak, Konica Minolta, Olympus, Ricoh, Samsung, Leaf, Leica, Panasonic, Sigma, Sony, Casio, Mamiya, Nikon, Pentax, Contax, Phase One, DJI Raw files created with Epson, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, or Nokia digital cameras.

But keep in mind that only certain camera models are supported, so you should verify on the Adobe website that the files generated by your device can be processed.

Raw format converter integrated into your Adobe Photoshop application

The Adobe Camera RAW installer will take care of the plug-in assimilation process, so you can access its features without leaving the Adobe Photoshop application, albeit in a separate window.

Note that you will be able to work directly with “digital negatives” while keeping the original files intact. The plug-in window allows you to visualize the image and also includes basic editing tools enabling you to view image histograms, adjust image exposure, and more.

Easy-to-access image processing tools

Before exporting the raw image file, Adobe Camera RAW gives you the opportunity to adjust the image tone, modify the sharpening effect, reduce the noise level, convert the image to grayscale or create a split toning effect.

The same widget panel on the right side of the main Adobe Camera RAW window includes tools for making lens corrections, applying various effects (grain, post-crop vignetting, etc.), or for calibrating the camera.

Powerful Camera Raw Converter Plugin for Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Camera RAW is a great addition to the Adobe Photoshop photo editing suite: you have all the necessary tools to visualize, manipulate and transform camera raw data without ever leaving the editor.
