Celebrating a Decade of Camera Raw
It’s time to dig in the fridge for a slice of leftover cake and wish a happy belated birthday to Adobe’s power trio of photographic tools, Photoshop, Lightroom, and Camera Raw. Yesterday Photoshop turned 23, Camera Raw turned 10, and Ligthroom is just about ready for kindergarten at age 6.
To celebrate Camera Raw reaching double digits, the folks at the Photoshop.com blog created a rather nifty infographic with key details about the creation and evolution of Camera Raw.


If you’re new to Camera Raw and not sure what the big deal is, check out Chris Orwig’s lynda.com video series, Photoshop CS6 for Photographers: Camera Raw 7. It includes free videos on topics like What is Camera Raw, Should I use Camera Raw or Photoshop? Exploring image-adjustment tabs and panels, and Auto-toning and correcting white balance.
Thanks John Nack
