To start with, we\u2019ll select one of Camera Raw\u2019s white balance presets. In this case, we\u2019ve opted for cloudy, which has warmed the shot up nicely.<\/p>\n<p>For even greater control, you can use the Temperature slider just below the presets to set the white balance manually \u2013 or to apply a preset first and then adjust if necessary. The further you move the slider to the right, the warmer the image gets.<\/p>\n<p>The Tint slider offers even more control, allowing you to compensate for a magenta or green cast, In this example, we\u2019ll leave it at +10.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Correcting the exposure<\/h2>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/photo-editing\/jjjj\/attachment\/step-by-step_2-8\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-940\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-940\" title=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_27.jpg\" alt=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 2\" width=\"540\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_27.jpg 540w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_27.jpg?resize=300,94 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>While the exposure is pretty good, the highicontrast scene means we risk loosing detail in the shadows and highlights.<\/p>\n<p>First, though, we\u2019ll just adjust the exposure ever so slightly by moving the slider to +0.15. If your image is really under or overexposed, it is possible, thanks to the latitude of a raw file, to rescue images by really pushing the Exposure slider, though we wouldn\u2019t recommend going beyond \u00b12.<\/p>\n<p>Moving onto the Recovery slider, this is where we can recover lost highlight detail. Hit \u2018O\u2019 on your keyboard (or click on the highlight clipping warning icon) and any data that has been \u2018clipped\u2019 will be shown in red, such as the sunrise in this shot. Moving the slider to the right will recover some of this lost detai, but try not to push it all the way to the right-hand side as this will reduce the image\u2019s \u2018bite\u2019. Here, we\u2019ve set it to 43.<\/p>\n<p>Now to recover the shadows \u2013 hit \u2018U\u2019 on your keyboard (or click on the shadow clipping warning icon) and any areas of detail that has turned to black will display as bright blue. To recover some of this lost detail, move the Fill Light slider to the right. Again, try not to push it all the way as this can produce unnatural-looking results. Here, we\u2019ve set it to 13.<\/p>\n<p>The Blacks slider has the opposite effect to the Fill Light slider \u2013 increase the slider to expand more areas that are mapped to black. This will boost contrast and can add more punch.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 3: Adding \u2018bite\u2019 to your image<\/h2>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-cameraraw\/attachment\/step-by-step_4-7\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1054\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1054\" title=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_46-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 3\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Brightness is very similar to the Exposure slider, in the effect it has on your image, but the difference is that it compresses highlights and expands shadows, so it is best used once you\u2019ve already adjusted the Recovery and Fill Light sliders. Here, we\u2019ll leave it on +50.<\/p>\n<p>We can add a bit more punch to the shot with the Contrast slider, which will boost the midtones in the image. We can be fairly aggressive with it, but for this shot we\u2019ll subtly increase it to +40.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: Colour<\/h2>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/photo-editing\/adobe-cameraraw\/attachment\/step-by-step_5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1055\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1055\" title=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_5-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 4\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Even though we\u2019ve corrected the white balance, the image can do with having its colour altered even further. First, we\u2019ll increase the Clarity, which restores detail and sharpness that might otherwise have been lost via other tonal adjustments. For our shot, we\u2019ve increased it to +50.<\/p>\n<p>Vibrance boosts saturation in the least saturated colours of the image, with minimal effect on the punchier colours in the scene. Here, we\u2019ll increase it to +65. Finally, we have Saturation, which has a global effect on colour intensity. Don\u2019t push the slider too far, as it can make the image look unnatural. Increasing it to +15 is enough for this shot.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: Sharpening<\/h2>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/photo-editing\/jjjj\/attachment\/step-by-step_6-3\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-942\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-942\" title=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.phototechnique.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_62.jpg\" alt=\"creating a RAW conversion with Adobe camera RAW - step 5\" width=\"540\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_62.jpg 540w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_62.jpg?resize=300,94 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a>\n<p>With our main adjustments completed, we\u2019ll now add some sharpening \u2013 all images can benefit from this, no matter how expensive your camera kit. Click on the Detail tab along from the Basic tab, and you\u2019ll find four sliders that will control the image\u2019s sharpness.<\/p>\n<p>To see the effects of sharpening in Camera Raw, you\u2019ll need to zoom in to 100%. The Amount sets the edge sharpness, with 0 meaning no sharpening. Here, we\u2019ve set it to 85.<\/p>\n<p>The Radius slider sets the amount of sharpening applied. More detailed images should use a lower Radius, while pushing the Radius too far to the right can make the image look plasticky and oversharpened. A Radius of 1.0 is recommended in most cases.<\/p>\n<p>We can use the Detail slider to fine-tune the sharpening. For portraits, a low setting is recommended, while for images with plenty of detail, a higher setting is called for. The default setting is 25, but here we\u2019ve increased it to 50.<\/p>\n<p>The Masking slider controls what is actually sharpened in the image. A setting of 0 means everything\u2019s affected, while 100 means only the very edges are sharpened. To see the sliders effects, hold down the Alt key while moving it. We\u2019ve set it to 19. Once you\u2019ve done that, hit Open Image to load the picture directly into Photoshop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we\u2019ll show you how to make a basic raw conversion with Adobe Camera Raw, which is built into Photoshop and Photoshop Elements.

She is formerly editor of Advnture.com and deputy editor of Mountain Biking UK magazine and jumps at the chance to swim somewhere slightly muddy and remote, no matter how cold the water.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/iswim.likeagirl\/"],"url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/author\/roseewoodland\/"}]}},"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2012\/08\/Step-by-step_5.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-22 18:20:06","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/323"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=914"}],"version-history":[{"count":21,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33206,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/914\/revisions\/33206"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1055"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=914"},{"taxonomy":"product-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-category?post=914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
