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 youĂ­d 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.

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).
