What to edit (and when) in Adobe Camera Raw: essential advice for how to process raw files to get the best results


OK, so you’ve opened your raw files in Adobe Camera Raw. In which order should you do what?

  2. Correct exposure, including contrast and saturation

  3. Sharpen the image, including noise reduction


Now that you know the best order for editing raw files, we’ll take you through each step and explain what you’re actually doing, as well as tips on best practice.
