Digital Outback Photo Reviews Adobe Camera Raw 2.0

Mark Goldstein | Software | November 6, 2003 | 1 Comments

Digital Outback Photo have reviewed Adobe Camera Raw 2.0, which is now integrated into Adobe Photoshop CS. So if you’re buying Photoshop CS, you effectively get this RAW conversion program for free. Does it stand up against the competition, or should you buy Capture One DSLR instead?

“We always liked the colors that we got from even ARC 1.0. Some complained that the images were soft if they used the default settings. We actually like that a raw converter produces slightly soft (not too contrasty) images as we then have some latitude to tune the contrast in PS (actually one of the best tools in CS is Shadow/Highlight with it’s midtone contrast control). Again we like the the colors we get from the default hard coded profiles. But we are more into subjective pleasing colors than “true” colors.”

For me, the decision was easy - C1 DSLR is not available for the Mac, Photoshop CS is (and as a bonus, no annoying product activation on the Mac).
