Adobe releases RawShooter migration tool
RawShooter customers can covert image editing settings to Photoshop Lightroom equivalents with a new Adobe Labs tool.
Adobe Labs has released a tool to let customers of the RawShooter software convert image-editing settings to equivalents in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
The RawShooter conversion tool is a free download and works on Windows systems. However, because the two programs operate differently when it comes to features such as noise reduction, tone curves and color balance, images won't necessarily appear the same, Adobe cautioned.
RawShooter, software used to convert unprocessed "raw" images from higher-end digital cameras into more portable formats such as JPEG, was discontinued after Adobe bought its producer, Pixmantec, in 2006.
Photoshop Senior Product Manager John Nack announced the new software Saturday on his blog.
