Photoshop Foundations – Adobe Camera Raw
Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is the most multi-faceted tool in the image editing world. At its basic level, it is a Raw processor that plugs into Photoshop so you can edit Raw images before they go to Ps for processing. However, ACR can take you well beyond the basics and accomplish some pretty advanced tasks.
In this foundations course, we are going to take an intense dive into the world of Raw editing inside Adobe Camera Raw. We are going to discuss everything from the setup and interface of ACR to saving your images in mass and everything that happens in between. This is your one-stop shop for learning ACR from the ground up.
*While this is not a Lightroom course, you may use many of the tips and tricks here inside the Lightroom interface during your Raw edits.
