Adobe Camera RAW 3 settings.

So now we are home with our precious images.

Lets get down to business with the RAW conversion. In order to get the best results, all images need to be processed in the same way. That means, whatever processing parameters you choose, they have to be equalized among all images. All RAW converters I know ffer a button that lets you equalize those settings for multiple images.

With Photoshop CS2 (Photoshop 9), the Adobe Camera RAW 3 (ACR3) raw converter has been greatly improved. Now you can process multiple images at the same time. One thing to pay attention to is that none of the Auto Checkmarks are being enabled and that the White Balance is set to custom (even if you don't change the numbers for Temperature and Tint). This way, when you equalize parameters for multiple images, the White Balance will be the same for all images. If you forget this, the color of the pictures won't match perfectly and you will see that the image has been stitched. Don't worry, if you shot JPG, we can fix this later on, during the stitching process, although this means we may loose some dynamic range.
