Camera RAW - 4th and final part

We see the commands in order for the transfer to photoshop and saving files processed with Camera RAW .

Let's move on the description at the bottom below the image on which we are working, we will see that are some features of the picture: if you click on it with the left mouse button displays a window where it shows the parameters by which the images will be open Photoshop:

- Area: returns the color profile (Adobe RGB, sRGB, ColorMatch RGB, ProPhoto RGB).

- Depth: specifies whether the file is opened with 8 or 16 bits per channel.

- Size: shows the size in pixels, its use is identical to "Image Size" Photoshop.

- Resolution: Specifies the resolution to print the image.

As a last chance of selection, we can insert the check mark so that the image is opened in photoshop as "Smart Object" , an operation that allows you to work on an object identical to the original and on which you can make all the desired changes in a non-destructive, that is, without altering the source image.

command to transfer the edited picture with Camera RAW in Photoshop: "Open Image" , is in the frame at the bottom right now under the command of saturation. If you press the button Alt , the button name changes to "Open Copy" , which moves the image in Photoshop without saving the original RAW file, the data changes made with Camera RAW. But if we press the button "Shift" button will change to "Open Object" , and moving up will be done as Photoshop "Smart Object" (see above) .

Finally we see the commands for saving PC image processed with Camera Raw:

- The first window in the box labeled "Target", you tell the program if the save should be in the same folder as the file open, or if you want to choose another location, in case quast'ultimo in the second box enter the path to access to the folder where we want to save the file after the changes.

- In the box labeled "File Name" there are four boxes where you choose how it should be composed of the new file name, and I think the best choice is to keep the name of the picture taken adding a letter or the date, so do not miss the connection between images developed and the original file.


- pane "Format" choose whether to save in:

a) DNG - Digital Negative, choosing whether it should be compressed (lossless), and what should be the quality of the preview that will be displayed in JPEG it opens.

b) JPG, choosing quality as a function of compression that will be applied and that will determine the size of the file (Low, Medium, High, Max).

c) TIF, compressed or not.









d) PSD in Photoshop format.
