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).

big fan of the tutorials here, first time poster…

I need to experiment with the brush panel more!
Celeste said on — October 23, 2008 @ 12:39 pm
Very KOOL….love the brush tool options
Mark R said on — October 23, 2008 @ 7:38 pm
very nice, I make brushes for just about everything I do.
I was wondering if you had a tutorial on how to extract hair from a multi-color background? All the tutorial I see,extract hair from white or single color background, which is quite easy.
Brett said on — October 24, 2008 @ 12:01 am
I think the problem to define a brush is due to the resolution. I doesn’t work if its 151 pixels/inch or more. So 150 should work. I don’t know why I would my resolution up hehe.
That was my problem.
this is a great tutorial. Thanks =D keep it up =D
