How does Photoshop Lightroom work with Adobe Camera raw 3.7?
If you work with photographs in Photoshop CS2 or Adobe Bridge, you use Camera Raw to achieve the same kinds of editing as you would in
Lightroom. In fact, Lightroom uses the same underlying processing engine as Camera Raw, which means consistent and compatible results across Adobe applications.
Adobe understands that individual photographers work in many different ways. We are committed to providing customers with the choice of not only which software to use,
but also to be able to use multiple applications together as needed.
Where the Camera Raw implentation in Adobe Bridge of Photoshop has the same functions as Lightroom, you will find virtually identical options
and sliders. That means you can move back and forth without confusion, or the need for extra learning. Where Lightroom contains additional enhancements to raw
processing, the enhancements you make will be recognized when the photo file is opened in Camera Raw. A typical example is the Targeted Adjustment tool that is
exclusive to Lightroom. As Camera Raw 3.7 provides support only for raw file formats, only Lightroom is currently able to perform non-destructive editing on JPEG and
TIFF formats. Both Lightroom and Photoshop CS2 can perform non-destructive editing on PSD files, although the method in Photoshop (Smart Objects) is unrelated to the
Camera Raw processing engine.
Are there special requirements to make sure editing in Photoshop Lightroom is recognized by Camera Raw in Photoshop and Adobe Bridge?
To ensure compatibility with the Quick Develop and Develop module settings in Lightroom, current Photoshop customers will be required to
update to the Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in. Photoshop CS2 users can update the Camera Raw plug-in automatically using the Update tool listed under the Help menu, or the new
version of the plug-in can be manually downloaded and installed by visiting the Adobe web site at www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
