A Useful Auto Setting…No, Really!

 

*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*

It’s now safe to use the Auto setting in Camera Raw (just click the Auto button above the Exposure slider to see).  Adobe has changed the algorithm used by the auto-correction feature and now it’s actually usable (the old version used to overexpose your photos most of the time).  It makes a nice starting place in many cases, so give it  a quick click and see what you think.

    Interesting Bill. I wish it worked with CS3 as well. I haven’t spring for CS4 yet.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
