Camera Raw filter

The Camera Raw filter brings the entire Camera Raw editing environment into Photoshop as a filter. You get the same sliders for exposure, color, clarity and sharpening that you know from Lightroom. That lets you combine RAW-style corrections with your layer work.

Apply the Camera Raw filter to a smart object if you can, so it stays editable as a smart filter. It is ideal for a final color and tone polish after you have retouched in layers. You can also mask locally with it, like a gradient or brush for the sky. Tip: use it for dehaze or clarity on a separate layer, so you can dial back the strength afterward.
