	Camera Raw
		RAW files are in a proprietary format that is unique to each manufacturer, and often unique to each specific camera model.
		Camera manufacturers provide special software for decoding their RAW files, sometimes free with the camera and sometimes as an extra cost option.
		With Camera Raw I believe that we have gotten as close to an intuitive and simple to use method of working with RAW files as we are likely to see for some time.

		RAW converter Image adjustment tool settings for previously converted images can be saved in the same folder as the RAW file with Adobe's settings file format (.xmp) or the image adjustment settings can be saved in the image preview cache.
		The next time you open a previously cached folder, those RAW file preview images are available to view nearly instantly and any tools you applied to previously edited images will be in their last edited position.

	Adobe Camera Raw: Saving Conversion Settings - Photo Tips @ Earthbound Light
		The Camera Raw Database is a proprietary Adobe file that is hidden in the bowels of you computer and remembers what settings are used for each file.
		In Photoshop Camera Raw, to switch between using the Camera Raw Database and Sidecar files, go to the ACR Preferences by clicking on the same small triangle at the top of the settings area that we used to set the camera defaults previously.
		Camera Raw 3.1 will include preliminary support for the Nikon D2x (something I am looking forward to) and Canon Rebel XT (something probably at least a few of you may be looking forward to).

	Raw to Cooked with Adobe Camera Raw - Photo Tips @ Earthbound Light
		Now that we've covered what RAW files are, it would probably be an opportune time to discuss what to do with them.
		Some programs do support a variety of raw formats though, and among them Adobe Camera Raw (included with both Photoshop CS and Elements 3.0) is the most well known.
		This is mainly just a convenience, but if you have a camera that uses non-square pixels (or have tested with images from your camera and like the results) you might want to upsize here at least part of the way.

	Camera Raw Exposed
		In terms of dimensions, digital photos shot in the camera raw format aren't any larger than the highest JPEG setting on a camera, but the files themselves are over twice the size.
		I'll introduce you to the Camera Raw plug-in for Photoshop CS2 and fill you in on all the juicy little tidbits you've been dying to know.
		Most camera manufacturers are using their own proprietary camera raw file formats.

	Understanding RAW Files Explained
		If you've saved the file in-camera as a JPG than it is converted by the camera's software to 8 bit mode and you will only ever have 256 brightness levels to work with.
		There are too many to mention here, so I'll just mention the two most popular and arguably the two best, the Camera Raw converter that is now built in to Photoshop CS (it used to be available as a plug-in for Photoshop 7), and Capture One from Phase One.
		If we allow the file to be saved in raw format though we have the opportunity to do the conversion on a more sophisticated platform, and to do so again and again if there's any benefit to this in future.

	creativepro.com - Out of Gamut: Calibrating Camera Raw in Photoshop CS
		Each camera vendor uses its own proprietary format for raw images, and supplies software for processing them, but in my experience, the vendor-supplied solutions leave a lot to be desired in terms of speed and stability.
		Camera Raw, on the other hand, is not only fast and well behaved, it's also the nearest thing we have to a universal raw converter.
		Camera Raw does this, and much more, but one of the features (besides speed and stability) that distinguishes Camera Raw from other raw converters such as the camera manufacturers' proprietary software is the way it defines color.

	Art of RAW Conversion #004 @Digital Outback Photo
		It is kind of needless to say that of course everything in Camera Raw (CR) is fully color managed (monitor profiles are the same as used by Photoshop and for all supported cameras Camera Raw uses built in generic camera profiles).
		Camera Raw is also equally available for the Mac and PC like Photoshop itself.
		Camera Raw might also one of the best reasons for some photographers to finally upgrade to Photoshop 7.

	mezzoblue § Raw
		RAW is most value for digital photographers who produce a lot of prints because it allows you to do critical edits without destroying the histogram.
		RAW software processors are effectively giving you the same control over the digital negative, a means to juice the color and contrast of a photo to create those various looks.
		When you then pull the images off the camera, they are already fundamentally different – not because of the JPEG compression applied to the image, but because of the other settings that you may not know occurred in the camera at the time you snapped the photo.

	Macworld: Secrets: Inside Camera Raw
		Shooting raw beats shooting in JPEG format for several reasons, but to benefit from raw’s strengths, you have to edit images using the Adobe Photoshop CS Camera Raw plug-in (free with Photoshop CS).
		Raw is superior to JPEG because shooting raw is more like shooting negative film: although you have to process the image before you can see it, you have latitude in how you shape the overall tone and color balance.
		In Camera Raw, the Temperature and Tint sliders (in the Adjust tab) and the eyedropper tool (in the Tool palette) are white-balance tools that let you neutralize any color cast in the lighting, but they’re also interesting as creative tools.

	Camera Raw and Digital Negative (DNG) Resources \| PhotoshopSupport.com
		As more cameras and image-editing software provide support for the Raw format, more photographers are switching their cameras out of JPEG mode and embracing Raw's power.
		Camera Raw 3.0 is now available as part of Photoshop CS2 and can be launched from either the new Adobe Bridge or from Photoshop.
		RAW files are different from JPEG or TIFF images in that they contain all the data that was captured from the camera with minimal processing.

	Why use your camera's raw format?
		With a raw format file these calculations are not done and all of the original data is saved to the raw file.
		I've written a separate article on Resampling of raw camera files with some examples and details of my current workflow - As I say there, don't be afraid to change your workflow if a better way comes along.
		Hopefully this will make it easier to use raw format and address the problems of how you are going to be able to read the current proprietary files in years to come.

	Art of RAW Conversion #012 @Digital Outback Photo
		Some raw converters control the colors for the different cameras by using standard camera profiles and even allow the users to replace the profiles (example Bibble and Capture One DSLR).
		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).
		Camera Raw has come a long way to become one of the dominating raw converters in the market.

	The RAW Flaw \| OpenRAW
		This means that in a fraction of a second the camera will process the image, permanently setting the linearity, matrix processing, white point, color balance, color space, sharpening, contrast, brightness, and saturation, and then will save the file to the camera's memory card in an 8 bit compressed format – ie: a JPG file.
		Both Adobe with Camera RAW 3.1 and Phase One with Capture One 3.7 have refused to decode Nikon's new white balance encryption on D2x and D50 camera files.
		The more camera companies "hide the data," the more time and resources are needed by third party developers just to decipher it – let alone add features to their programs.

		RAW format retains the maximum amount of detail in the shadow areas of your image when you expose for the highlight areas of your image.
		RAW converters that have slider type adjustments and/or numerical inputs for their image adjustment tools provide the opportunity for exact fine tuning of white balance, overall exposure and other critical image quality parameters.
		In other words, all RAW converters analyze the color information and data included in the RAW file and then adjust levels and set a tonal curve.

		To help you gain a better insight of an appropriate workflow for your RAW images, we also wanted to provide a step-by-step guide to processing an image in Camera Raw.
		A RAW capture contains the actual values recorded by the imaging sensor when you took the photograph, without any in-camera processing that might lead to a loss of detail or other quality problems.
		In the case of a RAW capture, the property of light we’re most concerned with is the color temperature, so those are the controls we’ll start with when converting an image.

	O'Reilly -- Sharpening with Camera Raw
		There are also compelling reasons to turn off sharpening in Camera Raw, wait until your RAW file is open in Photoshop, and then apply sharpening via the new Smart Sharpen filter or one of the many third-party sharpening tools.
		I used the Camera Raw sharpening slider to turn sharpening completely off, and the resulting image is not an accurate representation of the scene as I shot it.
		I recommend using the sharpen feature in Camera Raw whenever you are processing large numbers of RAW files, or when speed is an issue and you simply want to create an image that appears sharp on a monitor.

	10 little known Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw Tips
		A number of photographers who shoot exclusively in RAW choose to do their image sorting in Camera Raw itself (rather than in Adobe Bridge), and if that’s the case, you can decide which images to delete from right within Camera Raw.
		However, if like many people, you do most of your RAW processing in Camera Raw (leaving Photoshop free to do things like retouching and collaging), then you can configure Bridge so that when you double-click on a RAW photo, it opens in Bridge, rather than in Photoshop.
		By default, when you open a RAW image in Camera Raw, it automatically tries to correct the image exposure for you (that’s why those Auto checkboxes are turned on right below Exposure, Shadows, Brightness, and Contrast).
