Process, compare, and rate multiple images
The most convenient way to work with multiple camera raw images is to use the Filmstrip view in Camera Raw. Filmstrip view opens by default
when you open multiple images in Camera Raw from Adobe Bridge.
Note: The Filmstrip view is not available when importing multiple images into After Effects.
Images can have three states in Filmstrip pane: deselected, selected (but not active), and active (also selected). In general, adjustments are
applied to all selected images.
You can also synchronize settings to apply settings from the active image to all selected images. You can quickly apply a set of adjustments to an
entire set of images—such as all shots taken under the same conditions—and then fine-tune the individual shots later, after you've determined
which you'll use for your final output. You can synchronize both global and local adjustment settings.
To select an image, click its thumbnail. To select a range of images, Shift-click two thumbnails. To add an image to a selection, Ctrl-click
(Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) its thumbnail.
To change which image is active without changing which images are selected, click a navigation arrow
pane.
To apply settings from the active image to all selected images, click the Synchronize button at the top of the Filmstrip pane and choose
which settings to synchronize.
To apply a star rating, click a rating under the image thumbnail.
To mark selected images for deletion, click Mark For Deletion
A red X appears in the thumbnail of an image marked for deletion. The file is sent to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS) when
you close the Camera Raw dialog box. (If you decide to keep an image that you marked for deletion, select it in the Filmstrip pane and click
Mark For Deletion again, before you close the Camera Raw dialog box.)

Automating image processing
You can create an action to automate the processing of image files with Camera Raw. You can automate the editing process, and the process of
saving the files in formats such as PSD, DNG, JPEG, Large Document Format (PSB), TIFF, and PDF. In Photoshop, you can also use the Batch
command, the Image Processor, or the Create Droplet command to process one or more image files. The Image Processoris especially useful for
saving image files in different file formats during the same processing session.
Here are some tips for automating the processing of camera raw image files:
When you record an action, first select Image Settings from the Camera Raw Settings menu
the settings particular to each image (from the Camera Raw database or sidecar XMP files) are used to play back the action.
If you plan to use the action with the Batch command, you may want to use the Save As command and choose the file format when saving
the camera raw image.
When you use an action to open a camera raw file, the Camera Raw dialog box reflects the settings that were in effect when the action was
recorded. You may want to create different actions for opening camera raw image files with different settings.
When using the Batch command, select Override Action "Open" Commands. Any Open commands in the action will then operate on the
batched files rather than the files specified by name in the action.Deselect Override Action "Open" Commands only if you want the action to
operate on open files or if the action uses the Open command to retrieve needed information.
When using the Batch command, select Suppress File Open Options Dialogs to prevent the display of the Camera Raw dialog box as each
camera raw image is processed.
When using the Batch command, select Override Action "Save As" Commands if you want to use the Save As instructions from the Batch
command instead of the Save As instructions in the action. If you select this option, the action must contain a Save As command, because
the Batch command does not automatically save the source files. Deselect Override Action "Save As" Commands to save the files processed
by the Batch command in the location specified in the Batch dialog box.
