When you open the file in Adobe Photoshop CS5, the built-in Camera Raw plug-in interprets the Raw file on your computer, making adjustments for image color and tonal scale. When you shoot JPEG images with your camera, you're locked into the processing done by your camera, but working with Camera Raw files gives you maximum control over images.

Introduction

As of the time of this review Adobe Camera RAW 4.1 is the current RAW image converterof Photoshop CS3/Bridge CS3. The plug-in is not compatible to older Photoshop versions -a typical although unfortunate product strategy by Adobe. The principal usage conceptremains the same like in older ACR version although Adobe beefed up the feature listand they also changed the demosaicing and sharpening algorithm (compared to v4.0 andolder versions).

Here's a how the development user interface looks like . (click on the image for an enlargement):

Workflow Concept

As a file import plug-in ACR is based on the underlying Photoshop infrastructure so itdoesn't come with an own file handling. If you want to process a numberof RAW files you have to drag'n drop those files into the Photoshop application which willthen hand them over to ACR. Alternatively ACR can also be used within Adobe Bridge CS3which features image organization functionalities like image rating, filtering, etc. pp.As you can see in the sample image above ACR displays thumbnails of your RAW files to theleft side. The images can be rated within ACR but not filtered according to the rating.The currently active RAW file is displayed in the center whereas all (tab-grouped) RAW-processingcontrols are located to the right side. Due to the vast number of tuning option things are a bitcramped and you've to get used to the tab selectors functions (via tiny icons). You can applychanges to the RAW files in any order - ACR will store those in small .xmp files(one per RAW file) or a dedicated database.Once you're done you can either choose to open the selected results in Photoshop (usually not agood idea regarding the memory size of today's RAW files) or export them to storage. The processalso works concurrently if your computer has the sufficient processing power - you can work on a setof new RAW files whereas ACR is exporting finished files in the background. If you want toimprove your work you can also do so in another session based on your latest changes (storedin the .xmp files or the DB). Preferred settings can also be saved in 'presets' for future re-use.

Conversion Results

As mentioned Adobe changed both the demosaicing and sharpening algorithms in ACR v4.1.By default the results are somewhat softer although a bit less noisy compared to pre-4.1versions. If you prefer more snappy results you can achieve an 'old style' sharpnessby tuning the sharpening options. Besides the common unsharp masking ACR 4.1 has now a'detail' slider - probably a technologies that made it from RawShooter (taken over byAdobe in 2006) into ACR. It isn't quite as aggressive as the old RawShooter variant butit does make a difference (without obvious sharpening halos) - it sharpenstructures rather than edges.Another new feature is 'clarity' - it seems to be a some sort of 'macro sharpening' similarto unsharp masking with a very coarse sharpening radius. This works very well if youwant to increase a faded edge contrast like a distant horizon vs the sky.The build-in luminance noise reduction requires a rather aggressive approach at cost of somesoftness so it should used with care - the chroma (color) noise reduction is very efficientthough. The processing speed of the noise reduction is very high.Lateral CAs can be removed perfectly (unless you've an out-of-spec lens of course), same goes forvignetting. It is an all-manual process though.ACR 4.1 offers a new anti-purple fringing option but, frankly, it doesn't seem to dothe job.There's still no way to correct distortions which is unfortunate because you haveto rely on secondary applications if these flaws matter to you.Compared to pre-v4 version there're now new controls for color vibrance and especiallyhighlight/shadow handling. Apart from exposure related functions you can also influencecolor saturation and hue here - Adobe refers to this as 'Split Toning'.The quality of the (optional) auto-correction has also been improved a bit without beingperfect (naturally) - most of the time you will probably still prefer manual fine tuning.

Conclusion

Adobe Camera RAW v4.1 is a quite significant evolutionary step up from v3.6. It takesadvantage of the same basic concepts and adds new controls for (structural) details,clarity (macro sharpening), a simplified handling for highlight/shadow control,color vibrance and a more detailed approach to color saturation and hue. ACR is 'only'a plug-in but it is reasonably well integrated into Adobe Bridge CS3 (which takes careof the image organization aspects) and Photoshop CS3 (for further corrections). If youprefer a more harmonic combination you can get the same ACR feature set in Lightroomv1.1. All-in-all it is the tool to beat but it is not perfect - there'restill no correction controls for distortions/perspective and the anti-purple-fringingisn't overly efficient.
