Now, one cool thing Adobe did (which also helps to add a tad bit more confusion), was that you could use Camera Raw as a filter in Photoshop.
However, they decided that instead of calling it Camera Raw, they would change the name (and only the name) to “Develop.” So, the Develop Module we know and love in Lightroom Classic (and the Edit section of Lightroom “the cloud version”) are both Camera Raw.Īll three Camera Raw in Photoshop The Develop Module in Lightroom Classic, and the Editing functions in Lightroom ‘cloud’ are ‘Camera Raw.” They all have the same sliders, in the same order, using the same math, that all do the exact same thing. They did change one thing, though, it was a biggie (and helped bring us to the land of confusionville).Īdobe could have named the module in Lightroom “Camera Raw” (as seen in my mock-up above), and everybody would have known exactly what it was. The same sliders in the same order using the same math that all do the exact same thing. When Adobe released Lightroom 1.0 (actually, they did a free 1-year public beta before the actual 1.0 release), they took Camera Raw, as is, and put it directly into Lightroom. Then, three years later, Lightroom was born It was a pretty ground-breaking thing and changed the way the world worked with their images from that day forward.
It was born in 2003 (it was created by Adobe’s Thomas Knoll the same guy who originally wrote Photoshop), and it was a plug-in to Photoshop, much like it is to this very day. So, today I thought I would try and help clear things up (This is a post I’m going to run on Monday on my other blog, so you guys are getting the first crack at it). In fact, one question I got was, “If Photoshop does all this amazing stuff and has Camera Raw, why should I use Lightroom at all?” I’ll get to my answer in just a moment, but because it was a Photoshop Conference (and not a Lightroom Conference - we did that one earlier in the year) I did a lot of most post work in Camera Raw, and opened it as a filter numerous times to do things I would normally do in Lightroom. Anyway, one thing that confused a lot of folks (and there were a lot of folks - over 1,200 for the two-day conference) was whether they should be using Lightroom or Camera Raw. Yesterday we wrapped up our first ever all-online, all live Photoshop Conference and it absolutely rocked (you can read more about it over on my daily blog today - here’s the link).
