Ultimately these custom settings will become your standardized processing settings and will be used to process all images created by you on your camera in the future. Using Camera Raw’s, Densitometer, Color Sampler Tool, Adjustment Sliders and Tone Curve, you will learn a methodical procedure for setting optimum processing in Camera Raw.
Session 05 : Drag & Drop Processing
In this session you will learn how to make an Action in Photoshop that records processing your images in Camera Raw using your own optimum processing settings. You will then learn how to make a Photoshop Droplet that resides as an icon on your desktop. That Droplet will process any number of Raw files or folders of files that you drag onto it by opening them in Camera Raw and applying your optimum processing action to each file and then saving the final processed files to a separate folder ready to print.
