ACR is the program that appears first when you open a RAW image file and intend to use PS. I will tell you that I edit almost all my photos using two tools: Adobe Camera Raw and Photoshop. In their own words: “At Red Giant, we make tools, films and training to enrich the community of filmmakers and motion designers… We have built software for motion design, color correction, visual effects and photography that is used for everything from major motion pictures to worldwide television programming to web production.”Īdobe needs almost no introduction. In my design-media classes I always encourage my students to check out their tools. I have been a fan for a few years and promote them whenever I can. So what are we talking about doing? Well here’s some still images I made with Trapcode Shine by Red Giant, and a short demo clip showing some of the special FX one can design for video, motion graphics, and in this case, still images. Enhancing a photo or video clip is common business nowadays but what tools do you use when you want it realistic and bringing that wow factor at the same time? While there are many tools I’ve found for adding realistic sun rays and lens flare effects on desktop and mobile (I’m thinking tools like Luminar on Mac and PicsArt on Android/iOS), there’s nothing better than using the most elite pro software in the universe – and for that I step to tools by Red Giant and Adobe.
