In this tutorial CD, Chuck Behrman will teach you, through live, real-time demonstrations, many techniques for using the Bridge (formerly the Browser) for image management as well as the export of images and creation of web sites, contact sheets, and Photoshop files in various formats. Many of the features of the browser are still applicable and appropriate for the Bridge. The CD will cover Camera Raw in detail, and will show ways to simply Automate processing in Photoshop.

 In Camera Raw, we will look at the advantages of taking photographs in Raw mode as opposed to jpeg and will address the capabilities of Camera Raw to optimize exposure, contrast, color balance and sharpness – before we even get into Photoshop! We'll operate on single and multiple images. We will also address “Placing” images in Photoshop as well as simply opening images via Camera Raw.

 Within Photoshop, we will look at how to make simple automated Actions that will allow us to create a multi-step process that can be executed with a single keystroke. Then we will learn to apply these actions via Batch processing and to create Droplet applications.
