ABSTRACT
Opening photos from Bridge via Camera Raw If you double-click to open a raw or DNG image via Bridge, these will automatically open via the Camera Raw dialog shown in Figure 1.103, where Photoshop will host Camera Raw. Alternatively, if you choose File ➯ Open in Camera Raw… via the Bridge menu, this will open the file in Camera Raw hosted by Bridge. The advantage of doing this is that it allows you to free up Photoshop to carry on working on other images. If you choose to open multiple raw images you will see a filmstrip of thumbnails appear down the left-hand side of the Camera Raw dialog, where you can edit one image and then sync the settings across all the other selected photos. There is also a preference setting in Bridge that allows you to open up JPEG and TIFF images via Camera Raw too. The whole of Chapter 2 is devoted to looking at the Camera Raw controls and I would say that the main benefits of using Camera Raw is that any edits you apply in Camera Raw are non-permanent and Photoshop CC offers yet further major advances in raw image processing. If you are still a little intimidated by the Camera Raw dialog interface, you can for
Full Screen mode If you click on the Full Screen mode button in Camera Raw (circled below in blue), you can quickly switch the Camera Raw view to Full Screen mode.
