Camera Raw 18.4 is Live! Precision masking, Vectorscope, and faster workflows
This release brings sharper precision, deeper color insight, and more control to every edit.
What’s New
The June update for Camera Raw v18.4 brings sharper precision, richer color insight, and more control in your editing workflow. You’ll notice significantly improved subject detection when masking, making it easier to isolate subjects, even in complex, busy backgrounds, for faster and cleaner edits.
Color workflows get a meaningful upgrade with the introduction of Vectorscope, which lets you visualize hue and saturation distributions for more accurate color grading and consistent skin tones.
Alongside this, the new Bidirectional Gradient mask opens up creative possibilities with two-sided gradients, helping you create smooth transitions and highly targeted adjustments.
This release also expands support for the latest DJI and Canon camera models, as well as Canon and Sony lenses, ensuring you can seamlessly edit files from newer gear without compatibility concerns.
