ABSTRACT
Introduction One of the big topics of conversation over the last few years has been the subject of ‘Raw’ files and ‘digital negatives’. During this time the capture format has gone from being an option for high-end work only to a key part of most professionals’ workflows. For this reason we have reworked much of the content of the book to take into account Raw enabled workflows. In the last chapter we looked at the first few steps involved in optimizing a digital capture, be it raw
based or TIFF or JPEG. And you will have noticed that we suggest that these basic steps should be undertaken in Adobe Camera Raw irrespective of if you shoot in Jpeg, Tiff or Raw. Here we will delve further into Raw processing and pay particular attention to the other editing and enhancement options that are possible when altering your photos directly in Adobe Camera Raw or as an embedded Raw file within Photoshop CS5.
