This makes editing images in Camera Raw much more natural and intuitive. Unlike Photoshop which is used by people in virtually every creative profession, Camera Raw was built with photographers in mind, using a simple layout that matches a normal photo editing workflow from start to finish. But Camera Raw has grown to include support for JPEG and TIFF images as well. That is, images that were captured using your camera's raw image file format. These days, especially if you're a photographer, you're less likely to open your images into Photoshop itself (at least initially) and more likely to open them into Photoshop's image editing plugin, Camera Raw.Ĭamera Raw was originally designed to let us process raw files. Yet even though Photoshop is still the world's most powerful and popular image editor, times have changed. And we learned how to open images into Photoshop using Adobe Bridge. We learned how to open images from within Photoshop itself. Which hardly seems reasonable as the main purpose of the DNGConverter is to handle backwards compatibility for Camera Raw files not supported in the user's extant version of Adobe Photoshop.Įver since Adobe moved their business to Creative Cloud they seem to be as confused about what they're doing as their users - and MacUpdate doesn't help with these misnamed updates.So far in this series on getting our images into Photoshop, we've learned how to set Photoshop as our default image editor. I'm a bit leery of installing this DNG Converter update because it says it's only compatible with Photoshop CC. The only thing I can think of that makes any sense here is that Adobe now only provides Camera Raw updates through Adobe Photoshop of Photoshop Elements.
It's puzzling that MacUpdate would leave this misleading naming problem unresolved for so long. There is no explanation on Adobe's web site, that I can find, of this issue, not any recent download link for the actual Camera Raw plug-in. Once you click the download link you get a dmg image file called DNGConverter - and that's all it contains - I checked it with Pacifist. The last few versions of what is called Adobe Camera Raw on MacUpdate contain only the latest DNG Converter, not the latest Camera Raw files or plug-in.
