Digital Phito SIG
   Oct 2, 07

 



March 2004

          Agenda            

The Digital Photo SIG will take a recess and will resume this Fall. Meetings will resume on Saturday mornings at around 10 am. A number of members have expressed their concerns about driving at night.

The new format will be Adobe Photoshop Express (free from Adobe) and Adobe Photoshop Elements.





The software requires only a web browser and the latest version of Flash 9 to run. It works on any platform, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux (a first for Photoshop), and with any browser that supports flash. Note: because of its reliance on Flash, Express is not compatible with the iPhone or iPod touch.


For A short demo, pleas turn on your speaker before starting the demo.

RAW

A camera raw file contains unprocessed picture data from a camera’s image sensor. Think of camera raw files as your photo negative. Many digital cameras can save raw format files. You can open a raw file in Photoshop Elements, process it, and save it—rather than relying on the camera to process the file. Working with camera raw files lets you set the proper white balance, tonal range, contrast, color saturation, and sharpening.
 

You can reprocess the file repeatedly to achieve the results you want. Photoshop Elements doesn’t save your changes to the original raw file, but it saves the last settings you specified before importing the file from your camera to your computer.
 

After processing the raw image file with the Camera Raw dialog box, you open the image in Photoshop Elements, where you can work with it in the same way that you work with any photo, such as fix red eye or make color adjustments. Then, you can save the file in any format supported by Photoshop Elements. You should usually use PSD.

To use raw files, you need to set your camera to save files in its own raw file format. When you download the files from the camera, they have file extensions like NEF or CRW. Photoshop Elements can open raw files only from supported cameras. Visit the Adobe website to view a list of supported cameras. Cost is around $69. OEM $40
