Once you’re finished adjusting the photograph using the Camera Raw interface, you can open
it in Photoshop by clicking OK. This opens a copy of the original camera raw file (remember
that one of the benefits of using Camera Raw is that the digital negative never gets touched).
This file is not saved until you press Ctrl+S for Windows or cmd+S for Mac or choose File>Save.
Depending upon your use for the photograph, you could save the image in several file formats,
including Photoshop’s native PSD, TIF, JPEG, or as a Photoshop PDF.
Dealing with that huge Camera Raw dialog box every time you want to open a Camera Raw
file would be a bit much especially if you save your adjustment settings. Thankfully, the File Browser
makes it easy to apply your saved Camera Raw settings to one or more images at a time. Here’s how:
Open the File Browser and move to the folder where the
Camera Raw photos are stored.
Select the Camera Raw photos to which you want to apply
your saved settings. You can select one or more photos.
Choose Automate>Apply Camera Raw Settings.
The Apply Camera Raw Settings dialog box opens with the Basic radio button selected as
shown in Figure 13.
