Camera Raw in Adobe Bridge

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Camera Raw plugin

Camera Raw has changed a lot in the last couple of years. It has matured, it has improved a lot.

Nowadays, Camera Raw can read not just raw files but also Jpeg and Tiff.

And the best thing is, Camera Raw is free! And it comes with Adobe Bridge so you don’t even have to open Photoshop to edit the images. It depends how you’re going to edit them, Camera Raw is not as advanced as Photoshop, for some tasks you will need to open Photoshop anyway.

There is a lot you can do within Camera Raw, so why not use this opportunity and use it from within Bridge without launching Photoshop? That’s what I’m going to show you in the video that I have created.

So learn how to edit your images with Camera Raw in Adobe Bridge CS5 .

So enjoy watching! :-)

Raw and Jpeg inside Lightroom

Friday, August 27th, 2010

Hello everyone,

If you are wondering whether you should shoot raw or jpegs, I will try to give you an explanation on how it works in Lightroom.

It is true that Lightroom is a pure non-destructive editor and even if you are working with Jpegs you are applying non-destructive editing to your images. It is also true that Jpegs are smaller than Raw (much smaller) in terms of file sizes on a hard drive.

There are certain setting you cannot change for Jpegs, f.ex. White Balance Settings. If you shoot Jpegs you are stuck, but if you shoot Raw you can play with White Balance so it doesn’t matter if you set it on Tungsten and you work outside in sunny weather – you can change it! :-)

When you shoot Raw, your images are not fully processed by your camera. Also, what you see on the back of your camera is not a real Raw file, it is just a Jpeg preview that camera generates for you.

Shooting Raw gives you unlimited possibilities in making adjustments to your images and it is not true what many photographers say that they shoot Jpegs because it is faster to give them to the clients. You can export your Raw images as Jpegs with a click on one button! So no excuses any more. ;-)

Have a wonderful day and a fabulous weekend.
