Tiff for commercial printing, PSD for layer edits, typography, and special effects, and PNG is good for web use. Jpeg reduces size by throwing out picture detail. If not, jpeg is good, but keep the quality at 12. If your photos are important to you, you keeps raws stored elsewhere. Just imagine shooting pictures with a roll of film.

Say someone wants the same photo as Adobe RGB and not sRGB. One you do, your settings are "baked in." If you want to start all over again, that is what raw files are for. After the RAW files are adjusted in Camera Raw and saved as a Jpeg or Tiff, there would not be any reason to open the saved Jpeg or Tiff files up in Camera Raw.įrom within Photoshop, you can save as jpeg, tif, psd, or png, which are the most common image formats. Once I get a Canon camera, I will only shoot in RAW and open the RAW/DNG files in Camera Raw. I don't think I will be opening up Jpegs or Tiffs in Camera Raw much longer anyway. However, these options don't seem to remove the Camera Raw icon in Bridge.) I don't really understand the difference with these three options, but they all seem to reset the adjustments back to default. It looks like you have the options of choosing "image setting," "camera raw defaults" and "reset camera raw defaults" in the preset tab of Camera Raw. (For example, there must be a way to make adjustments inside Camera Raw and be able to reset them while still being inside Camera Raw. Is there any other possible way to do this? Can this be done in Photoshop or Camera Raw itself and not Bridge?

The only way to get the file to open up regularly again inside Photoshop, without Camera Raw is to clear the develop setting inside Bridge which removes the Camera Raw icon in Bridge.

For example, even if you move a cursor adjustment in Camera Raw and put it right back exactly to where it was and hit done, it will still open back up in Camera Raw. If ANYTHING is done inside Camera Raw, except for hitting the cancel button, it will continue to open up in Camera Raw inside Photoshop and will be given the Camera Raw icon in Bridge. I understand now, if a Jpeg or a Tiff is opened as a RAW file inside Photoshop, it will open up in Camera Raw inside Photoshop. I don't really like the idea of having duplicates images.) (I think I would rather delete the original RAW/DNG file after it's adjusted and saved to a Jpeg or Tiff. Once a RAW/DNG file is adjusted inside Camera Raw and no more adjustments will be made, is it most common to then save the RAW/DNG file as a Jpeg or Tiff?
