The Luminous Landscape’s Download Video Tutorials do not fit the normal mode of tutorial presentation with their dry mix of screen grabs and voiceover. Tom Forsmakes a guest appearance and helps demonstrate his ACR Camera Calibration script. Additionally an extensive interview of Adobe’s Camera Raw and Lightroom engineering teamis included.

The nearly eight hours of video tutorial is hosted by Jeff Scheweand Michael Reichmann. Camera Raw’s workflow for processing and optimising pictures is logical, straightforward and very powerful. The equivalent controls and steps required within Photoshop can be far more complex, time consuming and far less intuitive. The finely detailed and highly precise controls available within Camera Raw are designed by photographers for photographers. Batch saving and batch processing can reduce many hours of work to a few minutes. The use of Camera Raw within Bridge opens up a whole new area of labour-saving workflows for those faced with reviewing and processing many images (even many hundreds or thousands). Not only is the original saved untouched but as new versions of Camera Raw are released, the user can return to the original file and reprocess it with more powerful or even more precise tools for an even better correction or interpretation of the original.Ĭamera Raw can not only be run out of Photoshop but also out of Bridge. This is the true power of parametric as opposed to pixel editing. You can always get back to the original’s state. All the work that is done on a Raw, TIFF or JPEG file in Camera Raw forms simply a list of instructions (metadata) that is carried with the originalįile. _ About Camera RawĪdobe Camera Raw has become the ‘place’ where many photographers now do much of the work on their images.įrom its early days as a file import plugin, Camera Raw has now become a very powerful, completely non-destructive photo editing tool.
