Make It Look Like You Thought It Would

 

*Adobe Bridge CS4 and Adobe Camera Raw 5 Tip*

Want your RAW images to look more like what you saw in your camera’s LCD display?  Then check out the new Camera Matching Profiles in the Camera Calibration tab of Camera Raw.  They approximate the “looks” you can apply in camera.  Camera Raw looks at your image’s embedded EXIF data to determine whether you took the shot with a Nikon or Canon (so far, those are the only two camera brands it supports), and then it gives you a corresponding list of looks you can apply (these can help you get closer to the JPEG look).  Just choose from the pop-up menu to begin (I recommend starting with the Adobe Standard Profile).

    I was all excited, but then I saw they don’t have support for Sony! I’ll be on the look out for it in the next version.

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).
