HIDDEN Raw Workflow No One Is Talking About ► ACR 13.2

Learn More about this workflow: f64.co/IP2
The old idea that your RAW workflow should somehow conform to "Top to Bottom, Left to Right" is not entirely accurate. Well, it could be if the items that were in the top to bottom were ordered correctly ;)
In this mini-tutorial, I am going to show you how I set up my editing panels in ACR 13.2 with a hidden workflow secret. If you don't entirely trust me on this, I will even give you some proof ;)
The new ACR 13.2 that came with the Photoshop 22.3 Update is pretty genius in that you can re0rganize your editing panels! Awesome!

I've signed up for quite a few photography KZread channels and a few classes too. I like many of them but Blake Rudis is on another level altogether. He's engaging and has an ordered and well rehearsed teaching style that just cuts to the point. I have been so impressed that I signed up for Blake's F64 elite package and I haven't been disappointed. If you think the F64 KZread channel is good, the subscription courses will blow your mind. Blake has completely changed the way I see photography and how I use Photoshop.

    It may depend on what you shoot. Since I have a lot of architecture in my photos, my workflow is flatten image, geometry, and optics. Once I know what the photo will look like, I start the processing. Then once I have that right, I start with the basic and detail. The rest I usually do in Photoshop as I often use masks for color grading and curves. Curves and Calibration, I do close to last as I set them differently for print output or video display output. Then save as a PSD either using the print or display folder as needed when I go back to it in the future. In the old print days I had 3 version depending on the light the print would be viewed under. Today I just adjust them for daylight. Although I also do them my color tuning. My scenic and portraits of course I may not use everything. Still I love the idea of putting them in the best order for me and would not have considered it without your video. Thank you.

For my architecture work I prefer photoshop for the geometry stuff. That way if it crops in too far, I can still get some stuff back on the edges with content aware fill. Usually helps save some compositions that may crop in too far with the regular geometry section. Just a thought for ya.

    Very interesting, ty, I'm going to give it a try, though I made the small adjustment of adding the optics and geometry first as I pretty much always tick the optics boxes first and though I rarely use the geometry, if the photo needs it, it gets done before anything else. I do have a question on the curves though. The position you place it in makes sense, but prior to doing any culling I apply a preset that includes a couple basic adjustments and an curve that provides some moderate contrast to make the photos a bit better when as I cull which I will fine tune later. What I'm wondering is with this change, should I be resetting any of those adjustments when I start working on the real edit or just don't do anything else with the curve until its turn comes around? Again, thanks for the video, I never knew I could change the order, which I've wanted to do, and wouldn't have thought to order it this way even if I had.

    I wish I had more time to watch you videos! This is my take. All RAW processing is about taking 14-bit data (or 42-bit full color) and fitting it into 8-bit (or 24-bit full color). Photo editors try to make it look like you have a gazillion special tricks to deal with the image, but really, it all comes down to one simple question per pixel--what color will it end up on an 8-bit display. When you use a curve to maximize all the red you are basically setting every red to a 255 value (or 217/33/33 for best psychological effect). So of course you can't reduce the value using color because there are no values from 0 to 254. I would have put selections like "optics" last because they move pixels around on the image matrix, but don't change their color value (which again, is the only thing we can really do per pixel color). I would have put "Color Grading" higher because it changes color values, not position like optics. (If I didn't take it out entirely ;) ) Again, I see only one ultimate decision. There are many ways to get there. You are one of the first videos I've seen that points out many of these methods are duplicative and if you don't do them in the order best for your purposes you end up making a mess of things because you can't re-heat milk ;)

    Very true. But, I would argue it all comes down to the viewers experience. I am not concerned with displays and bits. At the end of the day all I need to do is ensure I put all my effort into the image to ensure it creates the same experience I had (or better sometimes) for the viewer. No matter what the display may be ;)

    @@f64Academy Thanks for the reply! My bugbear is the bits matter. It's like saying the contrast of the photo paper didn't matter back in the day ;) Or the grain of film, etc. There used to be a joke about NTSC video (Never The Same Color) which applies to today's displays. So I hear you there. Totally out of one's control. Going back to that analogy. One could use show a very grainy result using a fine-grained filmed with a high-contrast paper, right? Or they could use a very grainy film with a low contrast paper. Both have their advantages. Are they the same? My bugbear again is understanding that you can't re-develop a low contrast film if you used the grainy film as a start. In digital, that means understanding what has the bits and what doesn't. Further, how those bits relate to the GAMMA of your display. I don't believe your viewers can REALLY understand what you're saying if they don't understand this low level sht ;) Can they replicate what you do? ABSOLUTELY. Is that important? It's the only thing important. Until you run into a problem and spend hours trying to fix something that can't be fixed because you don't understand these fundamentals. There's a lot you know that your viewers don't because you don't want to scare them off with bit-talk. I understand. Nonetheless, you're miles ahead of everyone else (other photo channels). So thank you! I've always been annoyed at ACR but have never been able to figure out that nagging thing until this video!

    The difference is that the tone curve is adjusting input values; and adjusting the red channel of the RGB color mix doesn't necessarily result in red output. But the color mixer is adjusting the image colors. Also, the color mixer colors are a range more akin to the HSL scale displayed in PS when you select red; whereas the red tone curve is only the R value in the RGB mix. It appears to me that your red input shift resulted in mostly magenta colors; so the magenta color mixer would/should have had a notable impact on the displayed image (or maybe purple/blue?).

To see the relationship better start with a color that HSL will affect in the image. For your example image the luminance of blue would be good, and shift it back/forth/reset. Then do the red curve adjustment followed by the blue luminance... the luminance adjustment will/should affect the same areas to the same degree. The two just don't correlate. But I guess it does become less intuitive if you adjust a color curve first... luckily, I never do that in LR 😃

    My issue is around "Detail". I thought it important to minimise noise early in your workflow as other processes may increase any noise. Realise that sharpening needs to be later in the workflow (if not one of the last things I do), but go for noise reduction early. A bit academic for my workflow really as I use LR and the noise reduction applied is usually minimal in LR as I move to Define 2 for any serious noise reduction and if sharpening is required, I tend to do that last in PS

    @@f64Academy Cool. So, what my experience is comes from editing a lot of images in various programs. I disliked Lightroom from the first time I used it; a trial copy that shipped with CS 5 way back when. I could do what I needed in ACR, but mostly didn't like the results I got from it, though looking back it was mostly just not "knowing the rules", which I eventually learned . . . make the thing look good to my eye and vision for the photograph. Anyway, I ended up trying many different RAW conversion software offerings and would usually be blown away with how much better they worked than ACR, or some other app I was using, in one or a few aspects. Without fail, however, I noticed in time that there were ways in which those apps fell short of the previous "best." I was all excited about Photo Ninja a long time ago, eventually started using Capture One, and more recently used DXO PhotoLab and Luminar 4. I still use C1, DXO and Luminar. They are all very, very good in their own ways, and weak in their own ways also. Interestingly, I am much, much more proficient in each of these apps because of using all three, plus ACR (rarely). I can learn and see the differences in how they treat files. I have a really good idea of how I can make a file look in each app, how far I can push it in one way, how much more I could go that same way in another app, and what the tradeoff will be for choosing one app over the other. What I came to know is, no matter what I want to do, almost invariably I will be required to jump back and forth to tweak many settings. If I want to add a little of one thing, I know it is going to affect something else that will need re-adjusting, unless I'm lucky (also rarely). And this implies that the order of tweaks, though wise to have ordered according to preferences, will always require jumping back and forth. I've lately been considering the quote attributed to Bruce Lee - "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." Wise and true words that hold for any RAW editing app . . . but there is also truth in the idea of knowing other kicks even if only for the sake of better understanding the kick one has practiced 10,000 times. I blame no one for sticking to one solid RAW editor and learning it in and out, but I think exploring and using alternative options will help understand how best to use the one you most prefer. And any way one may go, he or she is gonna be jumping back and forth between sliders and options until what they see is what they "see." - Best to you. I really appreciate the video.

    Every time Adobe asks for comments on Lightroom, I request that it be possible for the user to change the order of operations, just as you can change the order of adjustment layers in Photoshop. I suspect they won't do it because of possible confusion and gross changes to archived work if the program doesn't archive the order of operation in the catalog or .XMP file. I use Photoshop to correct scans of faded film by correcting the overall tint with a curves layer and then adding a hue/saturation adjustment. You can't do this in Lightroom, simply because it always performs the hue/saturation adjustment before the curves.

    Adobe applies adjustments in an Adobe defined order. The sequence you apply your edits is totally irrelevant. Do the order how it makes you happy, there is no right and wrong. If that's what the creator ends up saying, my apologies for turning him off fairly quickly. That's from an editing pov. From a cpu pov, the default order is the most efficient. As one goes down the list, reprocessing the entirety of the adjustments (with whatever was last applied) becomes less efficient. No one needs to trust me, this is all old hat and any number of Adobe trainers, as well as Adobe, have said this countless times.

At this point you start seeing that this process is not flowless because you can't always go back and edit every single thing in a non destructive way. If you works for you ok, but that doesn't mean that things could be achieved in a more smart and efficent way. Workflow wise if you can get everything in one step why bother using two of them.

It all depends on the individual workflow, but that's how I operate and how I teach my students. To each their own for sure!

    Blake, shouldn't noise reduction be closer to the top??? Why would one edit a bunch of noise pixels and have them affect the overall edit?? It makes more sense to eliminate or reduce those pixels first. Just started following you... great tutorials... you're covering areas that many others don't. Very much appreciated!!!

    Also, you won't know how much noise to reduce if you don't get your tones right first. So opening those tones will exacerbate noise in dark areas. If you do it first, you may have to go back to it after modifying your tones and therefore do the same step twice.

    Thank you for this tutorial and the information about HOW to physically reorder the panels as this wasn't particularly obvious to me when I saw that the update now allows us to do it. Did you know about the other ACR change by the way? In the colour mixer section, the targeted adjustment tool now has a new onscreen pointer giving the position of the shadows, midtones and highlights when you move it.

    Glad it was helpful! I am slowsly unpacking the new ACR and delivering smaller tutorials as I see fit instead of one mega video ;) The new TAT is showing you not the shadows and highlights, but what the result will be of a movement to the left or right. So if you are in Luminance it shows lights and darks. In the hue it will change to varying colors on the slider of the color you are in and in the Saturation it will change to a variation between grey and more saturated color. Pretty awesome!

    Your Photoshop experiences go way beyond mine. However, I wonder whether you're correct about your placement of "Details." Here's why I ask. When I have a very noisy image, I prefer Topaz DeNoise filters; they are better than what Adobe offers. In a tutorial done by the owner of Topaz, he states that noise reduction should always be one of the FIRST processes of any workflow. He shows how Topaz software analyzes an unprocessed image by looking for the raw noise pattern and then removes the noise accordingly. Then he shows how manipulating an image before doing noise reduction confuses the DeNoise software (because the noise pattern has been disturbed), and this results in a significantly degraded image. In conclusion, placing noise reduction so far down in the workflow chain would seem to me to produce less than stellar images. Your thoughts?
