![]() 4096 versus 256 is a huge difference which is why RAW files have so much more potential. In comparison, JPEG files have only 8 bits per color channel which means you have only 256 different tonality (brightness) levels for each of the three color channels. At 12 bits per channel you have 4096 different tonality (brightness) levels for each of the three color channels, red, green and blue. A typical DSLR captures RAW images at 12 bits per color channel (or even 14 bits per channel). One difference is RAW files have 16 times more tonality information per color channel than a JPEG file. RAW files provide a lot of advantages over JPEG files (see the links below). So why are RAW files so much better for your photography and how do you know if you have the latest process version? For your images to look their very best you need to have the latest process version. Photos you have processed with an older process version can look even better with the new version.

We are screwed, and only the foolish don't know it. The prices will rise, as soon as the user base hits some magic number in their marketing departments papers. Some smart guys keep talking about the cost of a starbucks, but how about the costs of non working software because your lifetime subscription ran out, or the day the prices go up and you cant do a damn thing about it. Their apps are quite terrible, rivaling the worst in possible UI design. Sure, you can use canons or nikons crap software.PER IMAGE. So anyone who's waiting to get a 5d4, 1d4, t7i, nikon 9000 or whatever, you have to pay adobe for pshop to even see the files. ![]() While de facto standards are all well and good, this is a prime example of having only ONE "real" option ends up screwing us all. And, Corel has a more complex graphic program, that will do photo graphics. And for those that say others cant match PS6, I have PSP from Corel, GIMP, both on my system. As far as I am concerned, Adobe is not putting me in a corner and making me buy their new process. And for RAW conversion I use Capture One, the image quality output which Adobe ACR cannot come near anyway.

While DNG converter will make it possible to work with Raw files from cameras not supported by ACR 9.1.1, it will not provide new lens profiles for CS6 users. Adobe announced in 2013 that it would no longer be developing its Creative Suite product line, and would instead focus its efforts on its subscription-based software. Adobe had promised continued support for CS6, and indeed continued to offer Camera Raw updates and bug fixes for much longer than they've previously supported older versions of its software. It's always been a matter of time for CS6 users. While Cloud subscribers will continue to receive Camera Raw updates, those who license CS6 must either make do with the cameras and lenses supported as of v9.1.1 or use DNG converter for support for Raw files from newer equipment. It's a sad day for owners of Adobe's Creative Suite 6, as the company announces its upcoming Camera Raw 9.1.1 update will be the final version available for the software.
