Week 4- Lecture

Introduction to Adobe Camera Raw

Lightroom vs. Bridge

The Cache file contains the thumbnails, there is no application that is used to open this information it is just stored in a folder. This is the information about the metadata and general image info as well. TOOLS > CACHE (in bridge)
Adobe Bridge allows you to double click on an image and open it directly in camera raw or photoshop.
CTRL+R (open in Camera Raw) Command+R (macs)
ALT (makes the cancel button a reset button.

RAW Workflow:
Open Camera Raw.
Lens Corrections (fix the chromatic abberations)
Straighten/crop tools (use the ratio options)
White balance & Temperature. (Use the white balance eye dropper to select the neutral mid tone grey which will give a correct rendering of white balance.
Synchronise settings.
In bridge highlight/select the images you want then in raw- can open and edit one and sync the settings to the rest.
Lightroom uses "develop" to alter the images.
