Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw Compatibility
The new features listed in the release notes are only available in Photoshop CC. Please note that Camera Raw 8.4 and DNG Converter 8.4 will not work on Windows XP, Windows Vista or Mac OSX 10.6. Impacted customers can continue either update to compatible operating system or continue to use Camera Raw 8.3 for Photoshop CS6. Adobe Camera Raw is one of the strongest Photoshop plugins for raw image processing. Raw or RAW files are a kind of images that are not manipulated and the best option for editing in graphical software. Camera cameras, and even cameras, usually do the initial processing of images when capturing images, which often damage the image texture.
