What is a Camera Raw file?
A Camera Raw image file contains the unprocessed data from the image sensor of a digital
camera; essentially, it is a digital negative of your image. By working with a Raw file, you
have greater control and f lexibility, while still maintaining the original image file.
The Raw format is proprietary and differs from one camera manufacturer to another, and
sometimes even between cameras made by the same manufacturer. This differentiation can
lead to many issues, mostly that you also need the camera's proprietary software to open
the Raw file, unless, of course, you are using Photoshop CS6's Camera Raw plug-in. The
Camera Raw plug-in supports more than 150 camera manufacturers, and allows you to open
other types of files into the Camera Raw plug-in, including TIFFs and JPEGs. If you are not
sure whether your camera is supported by the Camera Raw plug-in, go to
adobe.com
and type
Support Camera Raw cameras
in the Search text field.
