New Photoshop Tutorial – Bypass Adobe Camera RAW when batch processing RAW files.

A problem encounted when batch processing RAW files with an action you have created in Photoshop through Adobe Bridge is the programs need to open every file in Adobe Camera RAW first. After that it will then run the action and prompt you again to process the next file in ACR.

This totally defeats the purpose of the batch process to simplify the time consuming process of editing bulk RAW images at once. In this tutorial we show you how to create the right action and then to process all your selected RAW files using your action and totally avoiding the ACR prompt.

Might sound tricky but its very easy.

Storm Brewing The Skillion – Photoshop Tutorial Masterclass Exposure Blending

Don’t you just love when the weather guy (Tim Bailey on channel 10 for us NSW people) tells you that tomorrow will be fine but end with a late thunder storm. With summer approaching and the temperature set to sore this year I am really going to dedicate my self to chasing these storm fronts and the wild weather and lightening it creates.

This shot is taken with my new 17-40mm f4 lens @ 17mm at the Skillion, Terrigal on the Central Coast, NSW.

(Why I bought the 17-40mm f4 over the 16-35mm f2.8 will be in my next blog post)

I have made the full post production of this shot as a Masterclass photoshop tutorial that goes into exposure blending and masking in different water layers and I also cover how I go about capturing these kind of images for blending.

This tutorial is recorded in my new format at 1280 x 720 HD.

Retaining the colour online

The example’s below are of the image used in the video one saved in Adobe RGB and the other saved in the sRGB colour space.

See the difference…. Hope this helps you get the most from your images on the web.

Note: This is for the web only, dont change your master images to sRGB as you will be deleting colour information that you cant get back. Someone described it as peeling an apple if you change an image to sRGB you cant unpeel it back to Adobe RGB… keep sRGB for web images only.
