Processing a batch of RAW images
In the RAW Processing tool you can save selected exposure, color, and image sharpness settings as
presets. If you save generic settings as presets, you can apply those presets to a batch of RAW files
using the Batch RAW Processing tool. You can also use the Batch RAW Processing tool to remove all
processing settings from a batch of RAW files.
To process a batch of RAW files:
1 In the Browser, select the images that you want to process, and then click Tools | Batch RAW
Processing.
2 If you want to apply presets to the RAW files, select a preset in the Processing options section.
3 If you want to remove all processing settings from the RAW files, select Undo processing
settings in the Processing options section.
4 Select Convert files to another format after processing if you want to produce photos from
the RAW file and save them as separate files, in a different file format (JPEG or TIFF, for example).
5 Do one of the following:
•Click Process to save or remove RAW processing settings, and, if you selected Convert files
after processing, to produce photos using those settings.
•Click Cancel to discard any selections you made and return to the Browser.
6 If you selected Convert files to another format after processing, the Convert File Format dialog
displays. Follow the steps in Converting images to another format to select an appropriate file
format and produce the photos.
Noise
Reduction
Amount Specifies the amount of noise to remove from the image.
Higher values reduce more noise.
Radius Drag the slider to the left or right to apply median noise
removal to smaller or larger areas. For example, you
typically increase the Radius value to remove larger areas of
noise, but this also removes detail from the photo.
Color Noise
Reduction
Drag the slider to the left or right to select the range of
pixels that are identified as noise. You typically select a
threshold of 10 to 20.
