I’d like to begin this post by telling you that the techniques I use for batch-adjusting white balance in Camera Raw can be used for any type of editing. For example, if you wanted to edit the saturation or contrast of multiple photos simultaneously, you can follow the instructions I’m about to give you below. […]

Warming & Cooling Photos in Adobe Camera Raw
Fixing white balance is usually the first area I work on after I open a photo in Adobe Camera Raw. There’s a reason these particular sliders appear at the top of the list of those included in the Basic panel. There’s little you can do to a photo if the actual color temperature isn’t accurate. […]
Applying Labels & Ratings to Photos in Adobe Bridge
Separating and applying designations to photos in any photo management application is a must. With the volume of photographs being taken in today’s digital world, learning how to manage, identify and reduce the sheer number of them is more important than ever. Luckily, the developers of computer programs, such as Adobe Bridge and Lightroom, know […]
How To Filter By Keyword in Adobe Lightroom
If you’re interested in adding keywords to photos, please take a look at my previous Lightroom post. I discussed a few good topics surrounding this idea. I actually even talked about one method of how to filter photos by keyword there as well. In this post though, I’d like to go a bit further. Not […]
Using Groups in the Adobe Photoshop Layer Panel
When it comes to Photoshop, I’m an organization freak. As I’ve mentioned in another post on this website, when working on large files with many layers, things can get out of control – fast. It’s of the utmost importance that these things be tamed. The good news is that the fine creators of this program […]
How Can I Arrange Multiple Photos in Adobe Photoshop?
If you’ve ever wanted to create a file that contained multiple images in a certain pattern, you surely know that there are quite a few steps to follow. It’s not as simple as opening up some photo tabs and arranging those photos together. If you want precision and accuracy, you’ll need to follow the proper […]
Adjusting Hue, Saturation & Luminance in Adobe Camera Raw
In today’s post, I’m going to be adjusting some of the sliders in the HSL/Grayscale panel to see what kind of effect they will have on a few example photos. If you aren’t aware, “HSL” stands for Hue, Saturation and Luminance. Let me give you some definitions of exactly what these are below. Hue – […]
Fixing a Crooked Image in Adobe Camera Raw
To be honest, I flip back and forth between the “Straighten Tool” in Camera Raw and the same one in Photoshop. They both work pretty much the same way. I guess it depends on my mood. If you’re interested in how to straighten a photo in Photoshop, check out this post: How To Straighten a […]
Adding Photos To Collections in Adobe Bridge
Adobe Lightroom has a lot going on collection-wise. The application is actually quite robust in that regard. Believe it or not, Bridge is pretty much just as robust in the collection arena. You can do many of the same tasks as what you can do in Lightroom and what’s very pleasant is that the two […]
How To Add Keywords To Photos in Adobe Lightroom
I’ve already talked a bit about keywords in both Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Bridge. Basically, the “keyword” feature allows users to identify their images by way of characters. If you apply a keyword to an image, you’ll ultimately have the ability to filter though all of your images to locate just the one with that […]
