Adobe Camera RAW

Adobe Camera RAW or ACR as it is often called is a plugin for Adobe Photoshop and allows Photoshop users to adjust raw files from a wide variety of cameras. The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in became the latest must-have tool for professional photographers when it was released in February 2003. This powerful plug-in has been updated to support more cameras and include more features, and is available as part of Adobe Photoshop CS2. With Photoshop CS2 you get not only the latest camera raw plug-in, but also the full range of exciting new features that are part of this release.

The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in (2.3 or higher) now also supports raw files in the DNG format. Find out more about the benefits of the Digital Negative, a publicly documented raw file format recently announced by Adobe.

The latest ACR is V4.1, but this only works with CS3 and Elements 5.Check the adobe site carefully for the version that works with your software.
