Modifying Images in Camera Raw
From Adobe Bridge, you can use Camera Raw version 7 ( New ! ) to open raw files (ex-
tensions differ based on the digital camera), JPEG, and TIFF files to make image touch-
ups and enhancements. For example, you can have a poorly take image, and then use the
Basic settings to automatically or manually enhance image exposure, contrast, highlights,
shadows, clarity, and vibrance. If you're not sure what to do, you can click Auto to have
Camera Raw do it or drag sliders to adjust options manually. You can adjust color tones
(Hue, Saturation, and Luminance or grayscale), reduce luminance and color noise, add
grain, add sharpening, correct for lens defects, add post-crop vignetting and effects, and
retouch images with the Heal, Clone and Red Eye tools. In addition, raw images can be
converted into 16-bit mode, which provides more control over adjustments such as tonal
and color correction. Once processed, raw images can be saved in the DNG (Digital Neg-
ative), TIFF, PSD, or JPEG formats. After you make Camera Raw adjustments, you can
save the settings so you can use them later. All changes made to raw images are non-de-
structive, meaning only the metadata is changed to make different versions, leaving the
original data unchanged.
