answer

Clipping

question

They are grayscale images containing unprocessed "raw" data captured by the camera sensor. The advantage is they let the photographer -- rather than the camera -- interpret the image data and make adjustments and conversions. Because the camera doesn't do any image processing when you shoot a camera raw photo, you can do it yourself using Adobe Camera Raw.

answer

What are camera raw files, and what is the advantage of using them?

question

You can use Camera Raw to process the file with greater control over white balance, exposure, contrast, color saturation, sharpening and noise reduction. The same control cannot be had if the file has been output from the digital camera as a JPEG. Additionally, you can output the processed image in 16-bits/channel. Because the original raw file is not modified, you can also create multiple unique copies of the processed image by using the Open Copy command (press Alt/Opt to change Open Image to Open Copy).

answer

What can use Camera Raw for?

question

No. Therefore, it can be opened in another raw processor without fear of rejection, and modifications applied in Camera Raw saved without fear of corruption.

answer

In Camera Raw, what does the workflow options link below the preview window display?

question

White balance reflects the lighting conditions under which it was captured. A digital camera records the white balance at the time of exposure; this is the value that initially appears in the Camera Raw dialog box image preview.

answer

What is white balance?

question

-The first is temperature, which is measured in kelvins and determines the "coolness" or "warmness" of an image. -The second is tint, which compensates for magenta or green color casts in the image.

question

Select the tool from the toolbar. It looks like a grey rectangle overlapping a grey circle. Set options in the Graduated Filter tool options, click-drag in the image (hold down Shift to constrain effect). Once applied you can either refine it or apply a new filter effect.

answer

How do you apply the Graduated Filter tool in Camera Raw?

question

A graduated neutral density filter, also known as a graduated ND filter, split neutral density filter, or just a graduated filter, is an optical filter that has a variable light transmission. Typically half of the filter is of neutral density which transitions, either abruptly or gradually, into the other half which is clear. It is used to bring an overly-bright part of a scene into the dynamic range of film or sensor. For example, it can be used to darken a bright sky so that both the sky and subject can be properly exposed.

answer

What is a graduated neutral density filter in photography?

question

It allows you to select which settings you wish to apply to multiple selected files in the filmstrip. Alternatively multiple files can be selected before settings are applied.

answer

answer

If you want to process your raw images extensively in Photoshop, what can you do to avoid degrading the image unnecessarily in Camera Raw? How do you do this?

question

You can use the Detail control to either suppress or express the halos around edge detail. Use a low value to reduce halos (apply high halo suppression), or a high value to accentuate halos (apply low halo suppression).

answer

What can you use the Detail control in the Detail tab in Camera Raw for?

question

Two overlapping triangles.

answer

What does the detail tab in Camera Raw look like?

question

It applies an edge mask. When the Masking value is set to zero, sharpening is applied to all areas of the image (no masking). As the value is increased, the sharpening is restricted more and more to the areas near the strongest edges (increased masking).

answer

What does the Masking control in the Detail tab in Camera Raw do?

question

Chromatic Abberation results when the camera lens fails to focus different wavelengths of light onto the exact same focal plane. The end result is the image is made up of slightly different sizes in each channel, causing visible fringing. This complementary color fringing can be minimized using the controls found under the Lens Corrections tab in the Camera Raw dialog.

answer

What is Chromatic Abberation? How can the effect be minimized in Camera Raw?

question

It kind of looks like a camera lens.

answer

What does the Lens Corrections tab in the Camera Raw dialog look like?

question

By using the Lens Vignetting controls in the Lens Corrections tab in Camera Raw.

answer

How can you correct an image with unwanted dark corners (a byproduct of lens distortion) in Camera Raw?

question

They are used to compensate for the dark outer edges that can appear with some lenses and focal length combinations. The Amount slider lightens the outer edges when it is increased and darkens them when decreased. The Midpoint control applies the adjustment to a larger region when it is decreased and confines it to the outer edges when increased.

answer

In Camera Raw what are the Amount and Midpoint controls used for (found under Lens Vignetting int he Lens Correction tab)?

question

-Space: the color space profile -Depth: the bit depth -Size: a preset image dimension -Resolution: the image resolution -Sharpening: preset sharpening for screen or print *You can also elect to open all images as Smart Objects by default (instead of individually). These settings apply only to the processed image.

answer

What are the image settings you can specify in the Workflow Options dialog in Camera Raw?

question

The settings are set in the Default Image Settings area of the Camera Raw preferences. They can apply to a specific camera model, a specific camera serial number, or a specific ISO setting.

answer

Where are the Default Image settings set in Camera Raw, and what can they be applied to?

question

You can use the Temperature slider to make the image cooler or warmer. If the image exhibits a green or magenta tint after being white-balanced, you can use the Tint slider to compensate for any bias.

answer

When using Camera Raw, if the items in the Basic tab in the White Balance pop-up menu do not provide satisfactory results, what can you do?

question

CR overlays the preview with a blue color to indicate shadow clipping and a red color to indicate highlight clipping when you turn the corresponding options on with the buttons located above the histogram.

answer

What does Camera Raw overlay the preview with when you turn shadow clippings or highlight clippings on with the buttons located above the histogram?

question

Hold down Alt/Opt. BIack indicates all three RGB channels are clipped in the shadows, while white indicates all three RGB color channels are clipped in the highlights. Clipping in one or two channels is indicated either by the primary colors or a mixture of primary and secondary colors.

answer

While adjusting the Exposure, Recovery or Black slider in Camera Raw dialog what can you do to view only the clipped pixels, sans preview? What do the various colors in the modified preview correspond to?

question

It may mean that the gamut of the color space you are working in is too small to contain all the colors. Choose a larger color space than the current one, do your adjustments in it and then convert to a smaller color space in Photoshop if required. Note: If ProPhoto RGB is chosen, the 16-Bits/Channel should also be chosen to avoid possible posterization.

answer

What may it mean if you notice clipping while working on files in the Camera Raw dialog?

question

The recommended workflow in this case is to export in ProPhoto RGB and 16-Bits/Channel. It has the widest color gamut out of all the available color spaces and, therefore, can accommodate the colors without clipping. Once in Photoshop, you can convert to the working color space of your choice.

answer

If you would like to work in a color space other than the four available in Workflow Options in Camera Raw what is the recommended workflow?

question

To heal or to clone non-destructively.

answer

question

a) By hovering over the outlines with the Retouch tool and dragging when the pointer turns into a double-headed arrow. b) By hovering inside the dumbbells and dragging to a new position.

answer

a) How do you expand/contract the "dumbbells" for the heal/clone tool in Camera Raw? b) How can you reposition the pointers?

question

You can use either the Parametric curve or the Point curve to fine-tune the tonal range. The sliders located under the graph in the Parametric tab determine the range of the Highlights, Lights, Darks and Shadows sliders.

answer

Once you have used the controls under the Basic tab in Camera Raw to adjust an image, how can you fine-tune the tonal range?

question
