Multiple Image Workflow

How to save time by adjusting one Raw image, and then

applying those adjustments to as many other Raw images

as youd like.

If you had 200 photos from a recent shoot, and you had to process each Raw photo individually, it would

just take too long, so we use a multiple-photo workflow that lets you apply changes to one photo, andthen apply those same changes to similar photos.

In CS2, when you select and open more than one Raw photo at a time, all these photos appear in a film-

strip along the left side of the Camera Raw dialog. By default, the first photo you opened is selected for

edit, but if youd like to use a different photo instead, just click on it in the filmstrip. Once youve got the

photo selected, press the Select All button at the top of the filmstrip to select all the other photos (this

concept works best when all the photos youve selected were taken in similar light).

Now, try changing the White Balance preset (from the White Balance pop-up menu), and youll see that all

the other selected photos also change. The other method of multi-image workflow is simply to select one

photo and edit it just the way youd like it. Then, Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) on any other open photos

in the film strip that youd like to edit the same way, then click the Synchronize button at the top of the

filmstrip. A dialog lets you choose which edits you want applied, then click OK.

To select multiple photos in the Adobe Bridge, hold the Command key (PC: Ctrl key) and click on the pho-

tos you want to select. You use the same shortcut to select multiple photos in the Camera Raw filmstrip.

We also talked about the little icons that appear in the Adobe Bridge when an image has been edited in

Camera Raw.

A circle with a page in it means the photo shown in the Bridge is open in Photoshop CS2.

A crop icon means the image has been cropped.

Camera Raw appears in two different places:

(1) Inside of Photoshop, (2) Inside the Bridge

If you double-click on a raw photo in the Bridge, it opens the image in Photoshop Camera Raw. If you want

to do your raw processing in the Bridge itself, click on the thumbnail in the Bridge and then press Command-

R (PC: Ctrl-R). The advantage of having a version of Camera Raw in the Bridge is that, you can open a bunch of

images and have them processing in the Bridge, while youre doing something else in Photoshop.
