Moving Camera Raw Presets

 

Camera Raw 4.1 has a new Presets panel.  It lets you save popular or frequently used settings so you don’t have to re-create them each time (say, for a black-and-white photo).  Here’s the tip: If you ever change computers, you’ll probably want to take those settings along with you. It’s not quite as easy as you’d think though.  So here’s how: First go find the presets folder. On a Mac, it’s located in User:Library:Application Support: Adobe:CameraRaw:Settings.  On a PC, look in C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Adobe\CameraRaw\Settings. Then copy any of the preset XMP files in there to the same folder on the computer you want to move them to.  The next time you go into the Camera Raw dialog, you’ll see your new presets in the Presets panel.

Fill and Recovery Sliders in Camera Raw

Chances are you’ve noticed that when you attempt to increase the exposure in an image that is underexposed, you are going to clip your highlights, take areas of light color information and make them completely white. Before Camera Raw 4.1, the only way for you to compensate for this would be to dial back the exposure. Now, with the Recovery slider you can bring back some of the detail that was lost in the highlights without affecting the entire image.
