Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie we're going to talk about the Save, Open, Cancel, and Done options. After you've spent time tweaking all the Sliders and making the image look exactly the way you want initially it may seem a little confusing as to what to do to make sure that those change are saved. Keep in mind that you aren't actually changing the raw file itself, you're just varying the instructions for how to make it visible. Additionally, you'll want the changes to show up on the Thumbnails when you view them in Bridge and to be used whenever you open the image and if you send it to Photoshop for any further work. If you click Done, which is what's selected by default, the changes you've made will be saved with the raw file. The Thumbnails in Bridge will update to reflect the changes and the next time you open the image in Camera Raw, those adjustments will be there just as you would expect that they would. If you click Open Object, or Open Image Ð if you had not checked the option in your Workflow Options for Smart Objects, this will say Open Image Ð then everything that happens with Done occurs. But, in addition, the image opens in Photoshop. If Photoshop wasn't already launched it will automatically launch then. You'll need to save the file in Photoshop as either a TIFF or a PSD file, or, I suppose, possibly a JPEG, if you want to retain the changes that you make in Photoshop itself. If this says Open Object and you'd like to open it just as an image, hold down the Shift key and it will change to Open Image. Similarly, if it had said Open Image to begin with then I could hold down the Shift key and it would toggle to Open Object. If you click the Save key, or Save Image, the image does not open in Photoshop, but instead a converted version of the image is saved wherever you specify and in whatever format. From this drop-down you can choose to save it in the Same Location, or you can specify a Folder, you can also opt to Rename the file, Document Name, a lot of different choices here, and you can combine these as many times as you want. To determine what kind of a file you save it as you'll choose your file extension. I'd recommend normally a TIFF file, or possibly a PSD. Normally we don't save raw files directly as JPEGS because JPEGS involve lossy compression and would lose some information with each save, so you're better off using a TIFF format or PSD. You could also opt to use a Digital Negative, a DNG, which is a universal form of a raw image. Some people like that because they're concerned that the specific raw files that are proprietary to their specific camera might not be supported somewhere down the road. That happened in the very early days of digital cameras. At this point, most of the major camera manufacturers are well aware of the need to maintain support for all their raw files and formats, so I personally don't see any gain in using Digital Negative, but there is some debate about it. If you want to use Digital Negative you do have additional options, and I would recommend that if you're going to use a Digital Negative that you embed the original raw file in case the raw decoders change down the road to enable you to get more information out of that original raw file. The last choice is Cancel. Cancel means forget that I was ever here. The Thumbnails in Bridge will appear as though you had never gone into Camera Raw, and when you reopen the file in Camera Raw the default, or the previous settings, will appear, but it will look as though you had never made the current changes that you're not happy with.
