What is Adobe Camera Raw?

It is a software that is included with Photoshop and Bridge. It gives both these applications the ability to import and work with camera RAW files.

Camera Raw software interprets the camera raw file, using information about the camera and the image’s metadata to construct and process a colour image.

The Digital Negative (DNG) format is a non-proprietary, publicly documented, and widely supported format for storing raw camera data.
Metadata for adjustments made to images stored as DNG files can be embedded in the DNG file itself instead of in a sidecar XMP file or in the Camera Raw database.
