Raw Workflow Anyone want to share their Raw workflow? I shoot only JPEGs now and use Adobe Bridge to upload photos and Photoshop CS4 to adjust. Would I need to purchase something additional to process the Raw photos? How does one go about tweaking and converting the Raw photos? Thanks!!

You already have Adobe Camera Raw with CS4 but it will only launch when you open a Raw file. I took a Raw workflow class here at BetterPhoto a few years ago, and it is a quick learn. When you double-click a Raw file in Bridge, it will automatically launch in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw), and just work the sliders from the top down to the bottom to your liking and then maybe click the Curves tab and make an adjustment there, and this suffices for 90% of my editing. I don't like the clone tool in ACR so if I do need to clone, I usually save the image as an uncompressed .tif file and open that in Photoshop and use the clone tool there. ACR will do just about everything, though, even converting to black and white, split toning, selective colors, etc. The sliders are also in order from White Balance/tint - Exposure - Fill light - Brightness - Contrast then Clarity, Vibrance, Saturation at the bottom. Then you have additional tabs going across the top in which you can do further edits. Hope this helps.
