Process, compare, and rate multiple images
The most convenient way to work with multiple camera raw images is to use the Filmstrip view in Camera Raw. Filmstrip view opens by default
when you open multiple images in Camera Raw from Adobe Bridge.
The Filmstrip view is not available when importing multiple images into After Effects.
Images can have three states in Filmstrip pane: deselected, selected (but not active), and active (also selected). In general, adjustments are
applied to all selected images.
You can also synchronize settings to apply settings from the active image to all selected images. You can quickly apply a set of adjustments to
an entire set of images—such as all shots taken under the same conditions—and then fine-tune the individual shots later, after you’ve
determined which you’ll use for your final output. You can synchronize both global and local adjustment settings.
To select an image, click its thumbnail. To select a range of images, Shift-click two thumbnails. To add an image to a selection, Ctrl-click
(Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) its thumbnail.
To change which image is active without changing which images are selected, click a navigation arrow at the bottom of the preview
pane.
To apply settings from the active image to all selected images, click the Synchronize button at the top of the Filmstrip pane and choose
which settings to synchronize.
To apply a star rating, click a rating under the image thumbnail.
To mark selected images for deletion, click Mark For Deletion .
A red X appears in the thumbnail of an image marked for deletion. The file is sent to the Recycle Bin (Windows) or Trash (Mac OS) when
you close the Camera Raw dialog box. (If you decide to keep an image that you marked for deletion, select it in the Filmstrip pane and
click Mark For Deletion again, before you close the Camera Raw dialog box.)

Automating image processing
You can create an action to automate the processing of image files with Camera Raw. You can automate the editing process, and the process of
saving the files in formats such as PSD, DNG, JPEG, Large Document Format (PSB), TIFF, and PDF. In Photoshop, you can also use the Batch
command, the Image Processor, or the Create Droplet command to process one or more image files. The Image Processoris especially useful
for saving image files in different file formats during the same processing session.
Here are some tips for automating the processing of camera raw image files:
When you record an action, first select Image Settings from the Camera Raw Settings menu in the Camera Raw dialog box. In this way,
the settings particular to each image (from the Camera Raw database or sidecar XMP files) are used to play back the action.
