Seeing Your Final Crop in Camera Raw
When you crop a photo in Camera Raw, you can see the final cropped image without hav-
ing to open the image in
Photoshop. Once your cropping border is in place, just change tools and you'll see the
cropped version (in some previous versions, the cropped away area was still visible; it was
just dimmed).
Save 16-Bit to JPEG
Back in CS4, if you worked with 16-bit photos, when you went to the Save dialog to save
your photo, there was no option to save your image as a JPEG, because JPEGs have to be
in 8-bit mode, so you'd have to close the dialog, convert to 8-bit, then go and Save again.
That has changed and JPEG is now a choice, but what it does is makes a copy of the file,
which it converts to 8-bit, and saves that instead. This leaves your 16-bit image still open
onscreen and unsaved, so keep that in mind. If you want to save the 16-bit version separ-
ately, you'll need to save it as a PSD or TIFF like before. For me, once I know it has saved
an 8-bit JPEG, I don't need the 16-bit version any longer, so I close the image and click the
Don't Save button, but again, that's just me.
