Chapter 3, "Photo Editing RAW in Bridge," continues with the Bridge application although now, however, it focuses on the Bridge application itself. By using Bridge, you can preview your images, work with Metadata, create a custom workspace, rename files, and edit a photo session. Chapter 4, "Getting Started with Camera Raw," gets into the meat of RAW processing by giving you an overview of the basic controls and features of Camera Raw. These include workflow, the Camera Raw tools, and analysis in Camera Raw.
Chapter 5, "Photo Editing with Camera Raw," takes you beyond the editing seen in Chapter 3 to the editing power in Camera Raw. Here you will work with analytical tools like the histogram, magnification levels, the ability to open and work with multiple images, as well as synchronizing to apply your corrections in a batch mode. Chapter 6, "Using Camera Raw Basic Tab Controls," shows that while Camera Raw can do much of the computational work in the background, there are a lot of tools available that will help you get the image the way you want it. Here you will learn how to get more advanced control over the color and tone of your images.
Chapter 7, "Advanced Tonal Control," will show you how to work with the more advanced controls of Tone Curve and HSL/Grayscale tabs. You will also learn about the Camera Calibration tab that will allow you to create a custom look based on your camera.
Chapter 8, "Sharpening RAW," explains how almost every RAW file needs some sharpening to counter the effect of blurring that occurs at some stage of your capture and/or image processing. Here you will learn about both the new Camera Raw tools as well as Photoshop's Smart Sharpen filter.
Chapter 9, "Reducing Noise, Correcting Chromatic Aberrations, and Controlling Vignetting" explains that even though all cameras can produce some form of electronic defects, using Camera Raw you can reduce the effects of these defects. Chapter 10, "Converting RAW to Black and White, Toning, and Special Effects," will cover what is needed to use Camera Raw to convert your images to Black-and-White.
