In a move to bolster its RAW capabilities, Adobe on Monday acquired the assets of Pixmantec ApS, a Danish software company that develops the RawShooter product for digital photography. RawShooter's workflow management and processing technology will be integrated into Adobe's new Lightroom software, currently in beta.

The RAW format, which provides uncompressed picture data, has become the centerpiece of digital photography, as once high-end cameras reach the consumer market. Adobe will discontinue the RawShooter products once Lightroom is ready for release. However, an upgrade path will be offered to existing Pixmantec customers. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
