You can browse your hard drive directly in Bridge, or open single raw images directly in Photoshop, or you can use Lightroom to manage your entire workflow from start to finish, and manage an entire archive of photos all in one place. Lightroom, Bridge, and Photoshop all use Camera Raw “under the hood” because it allows photographers to ensure that their results are consistent (indeed identical, if desired see below) no matter what type of overall workflow you’re using. You might be wondering, “ What is Adobe Camera Raw, and why is it used for raw image processing in Lightroom, Bridge, and Photoshop?” Indeed it seems redundant of Adobe to have three different raw editing options.Ĭamera Raw, or ACR, is the raw-image editing interface that Adobe uses “under the hood” to read raw image data, and not just edit it but also convert it into a JPG or TIF file. In other words, Lightroom combines three programs in one! You have the organizational workflow the basic color-correction and artistic stylization, and then advanced editing/retouching tools.īefore we get deeper into what Lightroom does, however, we should explain what Camera Raw is. Simply put, Lightroom is a raw image processing application that combines the the “raw engine” of Adobe Camera Raw, with all of the organizational tools of Adobe Bridge and more!Īlso, the newer versions of Lightroom offer many of the color-correction and tonal adjustment tools (as well as local brushes and retouching tools) that used to be only available in Photoshop.
