Color Correcting an Image - Adobe Photoshop CC - page 134

The Camera Raw Save Options dialog box.
3 Click Save. You are returned to the Camera Raw dialog box.
4 Click the Open Image button. The adjusted and cropped image is opened in Photoshop. You can contin-
ue working on this file. If you save the file now, you will see the standard Photoshop Save As dialog
box. Note that whatever you save is a copy of the original Camera Raw file—your DNG file remains
intact.
Reopening a DNG file
You'll now use Bridge to access your saved DNG file.
1 Access Bridge by choosing File > Browse in Bridge.
2 If you are not still in the ps06lessons folder, navigate to it now. Double-click the file you have created,
ps060301.dng .
Note that the file reopens in the Camera Raw plug-in dialog box and that you can undo and redo set-
tings, since the original has remained intact.
Self study
Try this exercise on your own.
In this section, you'll learn how to take advantage of the Smart Objects and Smart Filters features using a
technique that includes painting on the Filter effects mask thumbnail.
1 Choose File > Browse in Bridge and locate the file named ps0604.psd , located in the ps06les-
sons folder.
2 Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) double-click the Background layer to turn it into a layer (Layer 0).
3 Select Filter > Convert for Smart Filters, and click OK if a Photoshop dialog box appears. Then choose
Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Again, click OK if an Adobe Photoshop warning dialog box appears.
4 The Gaussian Blur dialog box appears. Use the slider at the bottom of the dialog box to apply a blur to
the image. Move the slider until you can easily see the results; there's no exact number that you should
set for this exercise, but make sure it is set at an amount high enough that you can see the results easily.
Click OK when done. After you apply the Blur filter, a Smart Filter layer appears with a Filter effects
mask thumbnail.
