Our mid-year update to Adobe Camera Raw is HUGE! While the features they included are seemingly small, their implementation in your workflow is incredible. Last year we received masking in Adobe Camera Raw, which turned our local adjustment tools into selection powerhouses. But, they came with some frustrating limitations. The main limitation was the inability to copy an AI selection like skies or subjects and use them on other images. Well, that is all changed!
