![]() Over the years the trio of "capture sharpening," "creative sharpening" and "output sharpening" have been recommended as the best (combined) way to achieve sharpening from capture to eventual viewing by screen or print. That brings up a whole other topic generally referred to as "capture sharpening," which I am advising to avoid. I (and many others) feel that getting the image into Photoshop as cleanly as possible, without the sharpening that ACR (or the plugin) does, results in the cleanest image. I don't know how those settings are handled in the Photoshop plugin. It takes a bit of doing to get all sharpening turned off and kept off by default. The default sharpening that Adobe builds in per camera profile is too heavy handed IMO. However, I have all sharpening and noise reduction turned off in ACR. That is, I keep all processing in the RAW stage as much as I can before going into Photoshop for any work I need to do there. I do as much image adjustment in ACR as possible. But the workflow is much the same and the end result is also. ![]() I use Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), then open the processed image in Photoshop instead of using the Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop. Is it common to do most of the work in Camera RAW plugin? Or do I use the tool too much and should learn using PS tools? ![]() I also use sharpening and noise reduction by just clicking the standard option - I can see it helps when I submit photos to Shutterstock or Getty - they pass the review with no noise or sharpness issues more often than when I do not use those. Now I just use Photoshop tools on top of the Camera RAW plugin just to retouch some elements like those I do not want to see on the image. Optical adjustments, noise reduction, white balance, shadows, highlights and so on. After moving from dpreviev this is my first thread on dprevived (and second in total).Īfter processing hundreds of RAW pics from Canon and Sony cameras I have concluded, that most of the work may be done by Camera RAW plugin, which starts when I open a RAW image with Photoshop.
