The Photoshop Productivity Series: Customizing Photoshop

Camera Raw Presets

When you capture images in Raw format and edit them in Camera Raw, you can take advantage of Camera Raw presets. These presets are quite unique in that they can include many settings, from white balance to sharpening to camera calibration.

Camera Raw presets can include as few or as many options as you want—from only White Balance or Exposure to All Settings. To save a preset, start by changing whatever settings you want to apply. Then go to the Presets panel and at the bottom click the New Preset button. In the resulting dialog, the default choice is All Settings, but you can also customize the list to include the settings you want (Figure 6.39).
