Image of Yosemite Valley and Half Dome, from Columbia Rock, shot by the author on March 14, 2014, with a Canon EOS 6D and EOS 24–105 f4.0L lens. I no longer shoot raw but do have to be a bit careful with very bright sky backgrounds, although the raw may not be any better there either. Loaded into Adobe Camera RAW v9.1.1 for post-processing. Converted the raws using the DNG converter and compared to the jpegs, all dumped into stand alone LR 6.14 and thought the in camera conversions were significantly superior. This post may be of interest to photographers who are still using the (now aging) standalone versions of Adobe Photoshop CS6 or Adobe Lightroom. I personally loathe this move by Adobe: professional photographers can pass the $50/month subscription fee along to their clients, but hobby photographers like me can’t, and $600/year for the subscription to Creative Cloud is simply unacceptable.Īs you probably know by now, Adobe has migrated it’s image processing software to an online subscription service, Adobe Creative Cloud, and they are no longer supporting standalone Photoshop CS6 or Lightroom with updates to the Camera RAW plugin. So I guess I will be stuck with my aging copy of Photoshop CS6 for the rest of however long I am still doing photography. The last version of Camera RAW that will run on Photoshop CS6 is 9.1.1. If you shoot Canon gear, the most recent camera bodies that are supported by ACR 9.1.1 are the Rebel T7i, the EOS M6, and the EOS 77D, which were released in February 2017, and which all have APS-C sensors. The last full-frame EOS mount bodies that are supported by ACR 9.1.1 are the 5DS, the 5DS-R, and the 6D (Mk. These cameras all date from 2015~2017, and now, 5 years later in July 2022, the only ones you would ever find for sale are all used. If you shoot Nikon, the last cameras supported by ACR 9.1.1 appear to be the 1J5 and the D7200, released in March and April of 2015. So here’s the important part of this post: If you are still using a standalone version of Lightroom, or Photoshop CS6, and you have not yet updated the Camera RAW plugin to v9.1.1, you should do so ASAP.
