Switching from Camera Raw to Photoshop CS2

Postby Manta on Sun Oct 29, 2006 5:39 pm

I'm obviously missing something here...

I open, say, half a dozen shots in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR), make whatever changes I want then select a few to open and play with in Photoshop proper. If I then want to go back and grab one or two others that were already open in ACR, is my only option to re-open them again from their original folder or is there some way I can recall the same ACR window and select them from there? Seems a logical thing to be able to do but I can't work out how to do it.

Assistance appreciated.
:D

check your preferences in bridge....... and yes it will reopen in the bridge raw window for you to make changes........

Edit: if all the images are in the same folder yes but in different folders no....... only the last one open then the above applies

Cheers Bernie.
I've found Bridge too slow and don't often use it. Perhaps I should re-acquaint myself with it..

I second this. I've been using Adobe Lightroom for the past couple of weeks and so far, I love it.

Certainly worth downloading and playing around with....and as mentioned, ATM it's free....

Lightroom is free but you will notice that it gives you a message saying it will expire in the future, so you will end up having to buy it or switch prog. Seems to work well though..
