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.

Open in Camera Raw from Bridge

You can open RAW images in Camera Raw right from Bridge in Photoshop CS3. This frees up Photoshop to continue working on your files while they’re being processed in Camera Raw. Just select one or more images in Bridge, Control-click (PC: Right-click) on them, and choose Open in Camera Raw. This will open the image(s) in Bridge’s Camera Raw rather than Photoshop. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Command-R (PC: Ctrl-R).
