Link to Tutorial for using Adobe Camera Raw

We learned to set the parameters for Export by selecting the hyperlink at the bottom of Bridge.

-set color space (Adobe 1998, ProPhoto RGB, Colormatch RGB, sRGB)
Use Adobe 1998 if you are going to continue editing as it is a larger color space, you can always change to sRGB later for the web or for printing at a Photo lab.

Use sRGB if you are going to be uploading to the web or sending to photo lab.

You can set the size, the default is you camera sensor size.

Set the resolution. 72 ppi (pixels per inch) is a common screen resolution. 240-360 ppi is common for printing to inkjet and offset lithography.

Use the save image button as a jpeg, tiff or dng. (which we will go into later in the semester.)
