Getting to know the Camera Raw window
On the right side of the Camera Raw window is a control panel headed by three
tabs: Basic, Detail, and Camera Calibration. For this set of exercises you’ll work
with the Basic tab—the default—which presents controls for making adjustments
that are not possible with the standard editing tools in Photoshop Elements.
1 Make sure that the Preview checkbox above the image window is activated.
2 Hold the pointer over each tool in the toolbar to see a tooltip with the name
of the tool and the respective keyboard shortcut. Click the Toggle Full Screen
Mode button ( ) at the right of the tool bar to switch to full screen mode.

tab to access controls
for sharpening image
detail and reducing the

known as noise.
3 Click the menu icon at the right of the Basic
tab’s header bar to see the choices available
from the control panel Options menu. You
can apply the same settings you used for the
last image you worked with, have Photoshop
Elements revert to the default Camera Raw
profile for your camera by choosing Reset
Camera Raw Defaults, or save your own
custom settings as the new default for the
camera that captured this image.
