    Love your channel. Just one question, I take my pictures in RAW format (CR2 Files) and they aren't able to be put in Photoshop without the Raw Plugin. I downloaded the RAW plugin from Adobe and when I tried to install the plugin, it said I needed Adobe File Manager. So I got Adobe File Manager and then I tried to install the plugin again and my computer said I needed a new version of Adobe File Manager. That was the newest version so I am just really lost and frustrated with this. If you can help me that would be amazing. Thanks

      @jmcg3267 7 років тому

      Niño James Quibido I half solved the problem by rasterizing the line block - it gives you an option; to include fill and stroke or not, which you don't. That's the best I could do.
