introduces a blue tint to your image,
especially around the outside edges.
To get rid of that blue tint, use the
Adjustment Brush (K): slide the
White Balance Temperature slider
over toward yellow and paint over
those areas that look blue to remove
the tint.
- MARKING IMAGES
TO BE DELETED
When you have multiple images
open in Camera Raw, you can click
on a photo and press the Delete (PC:
Backspace) key to mark it for dele-
tion. A trash can icon will appear over
the thumbnail to let you know it’s
been marked for deletion, and when
you click on the thumbnail, a warning
will appear up in the top-left corner of the image window noting that
the image will be moved to trash. So, when does that “moving to trash”
take place? When you click the Done button. Note: To remove an image
from its impending deletion, click on it then press the Delete (PC: Back-
space) key again.
- THE HIDDEN “AUTO STRAIGHTEN” BUTTON
To quickly have Camera Raw automatically straighten your image, click
on the Crop & Rotate tool (C) in the toolbar along the right side, and
then in the Crop options panel, double-click directly on the Straighten
tool (A). It will apply a crop and rotate it to make the image straight (well,
at least what it thinks is straight). If you agree with the auto-straighten
results you see onscreen, press Enter to lock it in.
- HOW TO SET THE ADJUSTMENT BRUSH
COLOR TO NONE
Once you pick a color using the Adjustment Brush’s Color Picker in
Camera Raw, it’s not really obvious how to reset the color to None (no
color). The trick is to drag the Saturation slider down to 0 in the Color
Picker. Now, look over at the Adjustment Brush panel and you’ll see an
“X” over the Color swatch, letting you know it’s now set to None.
- CHANGING BRUSH SIZE WITH YOUR MOUSE
If you Right-click-and-hold with Camera Raw’s Adjustment Brush, a
little two-headed arrow appears in the middle of your brush cursor. Now
you can drag side-to-side to visually change the size of your Adjust-
ment Brush (drag left to make it smaller and right to make it bigger).
- RESETTING ANY CHANGES YOU’VE MADE
IN A PARTICULAR PANEL
If you’ve applied some changes
in a panel and you want to
quickly reset all the sliders
back to zero so you can start
again (maybe trying a different
approach or look), just hold
the Option (PC: Alt) key, and
you’ll see the word “Reset” now
appears before the name of
every panel. Click on the header
for the panel you want to reset,
and all the sliders in that panel
will reset to zero.
- TURN ON USE PROFILE CORRECTIONS
BEFORE APPLYING UPRIGHT
If you’re using Camera Raw’s Upright feature in the Geometry panel to
fix lens distortions, here’s a tip: You get better results from Upright if
you first go to the Optics panel and turn on Use Profile Corrections to
apply a Lens Profile. The Make and Model of your lens should appear
automatically, but if not, you can search for them in the drop-down
menus. Then, go back to the Geometry panel and try the different
Upright modes to see which one looks good to you.
