In addition to fully updating the book for CS5, Scott has also added a brand new chapter, which lets readers in on his entire, personal post-processing workflow by incorporating his popular 7-Point System into this book | The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers Before The subject is in the shadows After Using Fill Light and adding Blacks Step Three If you have to drag the Fill Light slider quite a bit to the right as I did here you re going to run into a little problem in that your deeper shadows might start to look a bit washed out. So when I have to push things as far as I did here I generally drag the Blacks slider over to the right just a little to bring back some of the richness and color saturation in the deep shadow areas. Now there is a difference if you re working with RAW or JPEG TIFF images. With RAW images the default setting for the Blacks will be 5 and generally all you ll need to do is move them over to 7 or 8 as shown here . However on JPEG or TIFF images your default is 0 and I tend to drag them a little farther. Of course every image is different but either way you shouldn t have to move the Blacks slider too far just remember the farther you move your Fill Light slider to the right the more you ll have to compensate by adding more Blacks . Step Four Here s a before after with only two edits applied to this photo 1 I dragged the Fill Light slider over to 50 and 2 I dragged the Blacks slider to 8. TIP Multiple Undos This is one of those little hidden features that not many users know about but Camera Raw has its own built-in multiple undo feature. To use it just press Command-Option-Z PC Ctrl-Alt-Z and it undoes your edits including moving sliders one by one. Also unlike Photoshop s History undos it s not just limited to 20 undos. The Essentials of Camera Raw Chapter 2 41 The Adobe Photoshop CS5 Book for Digital Photographers Adjusting Contrast Using Curves When it comes to adding contrast to a photo I pretty much avoid the Contrast slider in Camera Raw s Basic panel as much as possible because it s too broad and too lame. So when it comes to creating contrast try the Tone Curve instead and you ll never go back to that one broad and lame slider that .
