Using Adobe Camera RAW
The RAW file format offers digital photographers the greatest dynamic range, color fidelity, and overall image quality. It also allows photographers to make significant adjustments after a photo is captured and make perfect final photos from less than perfect exposures. Using Camera Raw at individual workstations, learn to quickly turn RAW files into photographs that require little or no additional editing in Photoshop. Discover how to edit 100 or more files per hour into final photographs. RAW file exposure, color management, and strategies for organizing, naming, and managing images will be included. Basic understanding of computers and file handling are required, but Photoshop skills are not necessary.
