By working with these "digital negatives," you can achieve the results you want with greater artistic control and flexibility while still maintaining the original "raw" files. The Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in became the latest must-have tool for professional photographers when it was released in February 2003. This powerful plug-in has been updated to support more cameras and include more features, and is available as part of Adobe Photoshop CS2. With Photoshop CS2 you get not only the latest camera raw plug-in, but also the full range of exciting new features that are part of this release."</i><br /><br />This is great news, but I have been reaping its rewards for a few months now. I am already addicted to Photoshop and now that I have CS2 which has the ability to open my Canon RAW files, it makes editing files so much easier. Previously I had to install Microsoft's RAW convertor which I used to convert the file into a format that I could use in Photoshop.

I have to say if you're into the RAW Plugin, you really should take a look at the Lightroom beta while it's still out there. That program knocked my socks off. It's intuitive, fast, and packed with tweaking features.

If you're into RAW, you need to check it out.
