Cropping Multiple Raw Images At Once

 

Want to crop just one RAW image and have that exact same crop applied to a number of similar RAW images at once? In Adobe Bridge, just Command-click (PC: Control-click) on all the RAW images you want to crop, then press Command-R (PC: Control-R) to open them in Camera Raw. Next, click the Select All button in the top-left corner of the Camera Raw dialog. Now press C to get the Crop tool, drag out your cropping border within the image in the preview area, and as you drag it out for the current photo, all the other selected photos will get the same cropping treatment, which will be reflected immediately in the list of images on the left side of Camera Raw.

Once You’re In CMYK Mode, Stay There

You’ve read some techniques in this chapter that require you to be in either RGB mode or Lab Color mode; however, if for any reason your image is already in CMYK mode, do not (I repeat, do not) convert to RGB or Lab mode for any reason. Once you’ve converted to CMYK mode, the data loss from the conversion has already occurred, and switching back to RGB mode won’t bring back those lost colors. What’s worse is, if you switch from CMYK to RGB (or Lab), when you convert back to CMYK mode, you’ll go through another CMYK conversion and damage your image even more. The moral of this story is-once you’re in CMYK mode, stay there.
