1 Choose a profile
The Profile Browser is often the best
place to begin editing your raw. The profiles
in the Adobe Raw set have been optimised
for different subjects – here the Portrait
profile improves the skin tones.
3 White Balance tool
Use this to set white balance by
clicking on a point that should be neutral,
like a grey rock, a white wall or a dedicated
50% grey card. Click and drag to draw a
box if you want to sample a wider area.2 Set black and white points
By setting black and white points, you
can control the tonal range. As a rule of thumb,
you should bring them to a point just before
clipped pixels appear. Alt/Option-drag
the sliders to see clipping.4 Apply sharpening
Raws are inherently softer
than JPEGs (which are sharpened
in-camera) so they will often
benefit from capture sharpening,
done using the Detail Panel.IN CAMERA RAW...

click them and choose Open In Camera
Raw. Now either highlight them all in the
filmstrip (Ctrl/Cmd+A) and begin editing

then select the rest and go to the top-left
menu to choose Sync Settings.IN LIGHTROOM CLASSIC...
Make changes to a single image using the
