Working with camera RAW photos

To adjust settings for a RAW photo
1
In the Camera RAW Lab dialog box, do any of the following:
• Drag the Brightness, Saturation, or Shadow sliders for a quick
overall image adjustment.
• In the White balance area, adjust color by clicking a preset
lighting option from the Scenario drop-list, or by clicking the
preview area to set the white point with the Dropper tool. You
can also adjust or fine-tune color with the Temperature and Tint
sliders.
• In the Highlight recovery area, click an option in the drop-list.
Highlight recovery works particularly well on images that are
overexposed — it can help restore detail in blown-out areas.
• Drag the Threshold slider in the Reduce noise area to smooth
digital noise.
You can preview the changes to the photo in the Preview area.
If you want to keep the settings for future use, check the Save
image settings checkbox.
