Camera Raw or press Ctrl+R (Windows) or Command+R (Mac OS). When you finish making adjustments in the Camera Raw dialog box,
click Done to accept changes and close the dialog box. You can specify whether JPEG or TIFF images with Camera Raw settings are
automatically opened in Camera Raw in the JPEG and TIFF Handling section of the Camera Raw preferences.
To import camera raw images in Photoshop, select one or more camera raw files in Adobe Bridge, and then choose File > Open With >
Adobe Photoshop CS5. (You can also choose the File > Open command in Photoshop, and browse to select camera raw files.) When you
finish making adjustments in the Camera Raw dialog box, click Open Image to accept changes and open the adjusted image in Photoshop.
Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) to open a copy of the adjusted image and not save the adjustments to the original image's
metadata. Press Shift while clicking Open Image to open the image as a Smart Object in Photoshop. At any time, you can double-click the
Smart Object layer that contains the raw file to adjust the Camera Raw settings.
Shift-double-click a thumbnail in Adobe Bridge to open a camera raw image in Photoshop without opening the Camera Raw dialog box.
Hold down Shift while choosing File > Open to open multiple selected images.
To import camera raw images in After Effects using Adobe Bridge, select one or more camera raw files in Adobe Bridge, and then choose

select Camera Raw from the Format menu, and click Open.
To import Camera Raw images into After Effects as a sequence, choose File > Import in After Effects. Select the images, check the Camera
Raw Sequence box, and click Open. Camera Raw settings applied to the first camera raw file upon import are applied to the remaining files
in the sequence unless an XMP sidecar file is present for any subsequent file in the sequence. In that case, the settings in the XMP file or in
the DNG file are applied to that specific frame in the sequence. All other frames use the settings that the first file in the sequence specifies.

Save a camera raw image in another format

You can save camera raw files from the Camera Raw dialog box in PSD, TIFF, JPEG, or DNG format.
When you use the Save Image command in the Camera Raw dialog box, files are placed in a queue to be processed and saved. This is useful if
you are processing several files in the Camera Raw dialog box and saving them in the same format.
1. In the Camera Raw dialog box, click the Save Imagebutton in the lower-left corner of the dialog box.
Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) Save to suppress the Camera Raw Save Options dialog box when saving a file.
2. In the Save Options dialog box, specify the following options:
Destination Specifies where to save the file. If necessary, click the Select Folder button and navigate to the location.
File Naming Specifies the filename using a naming convention that includes elements such as date and camera serial number. Using
informative filenames based on a naming convention helps you keep image files organized.
3. Choose a file format from the Format menu.
Digital Negative Saves a copy of the camera raw file in the DNG file format.
Compatibility Specifies the versions of Camera Raw and Lightroom that can read the file.
If you choose Custom, specify whether you want compatibility with DNG 1.1 or DNG 1.3. By default, the conversion uses lossless
compression, which means no information is lost while reducing file size. Choosing Linear (Demosaiced) stores the image data in an
interpolated format. That means other software can read the file even if that software does not have a profile for the digital camera
that captured the image.
JPEG Preview Embeds a JPEG preview in the DNG file. If you decide to embed a JPEG preview, you can choose the preview
size. If you embed JPEG previews, other applications can view the contents of the DNG file without parsing the camera raw data.
Embed Original Raw File Stores all of the original camera raw image data in the DNG file.
JPEG Saves copies of the camera raw files in JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) format. To specify the amount of compression,
enter a value from 0 to 12 or choose from the menu. Entering a higher value, or choosing High or Maximum, applies less compression and
increases file size and image quality. JPEG format is commonly used to display photographs and other continuous-tone images in web photo
galleries, slide shows, presentations, and other online services.
