So say you accidentally set the Exposure setting at -1.0, when you meant -0.1. Why should you do this? Once you open the file, you can double click on the layer in your Layers panel, and the Camera RAW dialogue will re-open with the settings you used. Open your RAW files as Smart Objects in Photoshop When you first open a RAW file, the dialogue box gives you the option opening the file as a Smart Object. This one small discovery immediately made my life a heckuva lot better. I use Aperture to organise my files, but I do not do any serious editing with it. These tips are based on the assumption that you capture RAW files (solid whack upside the head if you don't) and are using Photoshop. (I was tempted to write: "If Wu can do it, so can you" but that would be too corny, huh? And I really don't want to risk pissing off Martin Yan, whom I love.) So basically, if I can do the following stuff, anyone can. I am more on the "dunce" end of the spectrum than the "grand wizard" side. Let me preface by reiterating that I am not by any means a skilled user of Photoshop or other editing tools.
What I'd like to do is share some quick tips for a few things I've figured out over the past several weeks of (somewhat) concentrated editing. I'm talking about editing in order to have files that are clean and CMYK print-ready, which is a whole 'nother ball game, especially when blue water is involved.Īnyway, I don't want to get sidetracked on that issue. Move a few sliders around, pump out a jpg, and Bob's your uncle. When I say "editing", I'm not talking about prepping a file for web use.

Lately though, I've had to spend more time editing in order to prepare presentations, proposals and talks. I have images from 2005 still waiting to be edited, because I'd much rather be out in the field, researching background information, working out, eating, or even sleeping. It's no secret that of all the aspects of what I do, photo editing is my least favourite.
