Embedded Uses the profile embedded in the camera raw file.
ACR 2.4 Uses the built-in camera profile of Camera Raw 2.4 for Photoshop CS. The option is available for only
certain cameras. Users who have fine-tuned their settings for the older Camera Raw built-in profile can select this
option to use that profile instead.
2 Use the Hue and Saturation sliders to adjust the red, green, and blue in the image. Look at the preview image as
you make adjustments until the image looks correct to you. In general, adjust the hue first and then adjust its
saturation. Moving the Hue slider to the left (negative value) is like a counterclockwise move on the color wheel, and
moving it to the right (positive value) is like a clockwise move. Moving the Saturation slider to the left (negative
value) desaturates the color, and moving it to the right (positive value) increases saturation.

also specify a JPEG preview for the DNG file.
JPEG Saves copies of the camera raw files in JPEG format. To specify the amount of compression, enter a value from
0 to 12 or choose from the pop-up menu. Entering a higher value or choosing High or Maximum applies less
compression, increasing file size and image quality.

file compression.

pixel data in the PSD file.

Note: Th
e Digital Negative (DNG) format is Adobe’s proposed standard format for camera raw image files. DNG files
are useful for archiving camera raw images because they contain the raw camera sensor data and data specifying how
the image should look. Camera Raw image settings can be store in DNG files instead of in sidecar XMP files or the
Camera Raw database.
