Copying, Versioning, and Protecting Camera Raw Settings
Ordinarily, a clip’s camera raw settings are copied along with its grade, or saved inside stills
grabbed from that clip, when you use the various grade management techniques covered in
Chapter 123, “Grade Management.
When you create new versions, you copy the current Camera Raw settings to the new version,
but any changes you make are specific to that version, so each version can have individual
Camera Raw adjustments. For example, you could compare the results of two different camera
raw adjustments on the same clip.
Camera Raw master settings for BRAW media
If you’re copying and rippling grades among multiple clips, you can also protect each clip’s
camera raw settings from being overwritten using the “Copy Grade: Preserve Camera Raw
Settings” option found in the contextual menu of the Gallery. For more information on the Copy
Grade settings, see Chapter 123, “Grade Management.
Making Changes to Clip Camera Raw Settings
If you want to make individual adjustments to a particular clip’s camera raw settings, choose
“Clip” from the Decode Using drop-down menu in the Camera Raw palette. This makes all the
parameters in the Camera Raw palette editable, and changes you make override the project-
wide camera raw settings.
Changes to the parameters in the Camera Raw palette can also be rippled across multiple
clips at once.
