Who among modern people does not like to take photographs? Digital photographs have become almost one of the important components of our lives: mobile convenient selfies, sophisticated photo shoots and simply amateur shots. People love high-quality, good photographs, with the help of which they capture important events, their family, and unique places. And increasingly, SLR cameras are used to create such photographs, and all resulting frames undergo graphic processing.
How to open RAW in Photoshop is asked by many photography enthusiasts and image edits. It would seem that it could be simpler, but in fact, this problem has several nuances.
To answer the question of how to open the Rav camera in Photoshop, you first need to figure out what kind of format it is and why is it needed? "RAW" is translated from English as raw, unprocessed, and in our case means a digital photography format that contains raw data. Files of this format are usually obtained when using SLR, mirrorless, semi-professional digital cameras with non-replaceable lenses. Processing a photo card in the Rav format makes it possible to modify the frame parameters: exposure, saturation, white balance, sharpness, brightness, contrast. All changes can be made before editing. This function makes it possible to obtain the final photograph without losing either too dark or light areas of the frame.
Rav format files are supported by a large number of graphics programs.

In fact, in Photoshop you can open RAW format photos, however, for this, three programs are used in conjunction - the Camera RAW converter, Adobe Bridge utilities, Adobe Photoshop.
