8:30 - 10:00	How Adobe Camera Raw Made Me Love Photoshop Derrick Story Photographers see the world differently than graphic artists and web designers. And even though Photoshop is the most powerful imaging tool available on the personal computer, its approach to image adjustment isn't necessarily intuitive for shooters. But Adobe Camera Raw changed all of that. What began as an application to decode Raw files, has evolved into a powerful non-destructive image editor for Raws, Tiffs, and Jpegs. In fact, most photographers can accomplish the bulk of their image editing in ACR without ever opening Photoshop. Skeptical? Then let Derrick Story show you the power and efficiency of Bridge and Adobe Camera Raw, and how it can improve your workflow right now. Who's This Class For? Photographers using Photoshop CS4 or Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac or Windows platform.
