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 138, “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.

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 139, “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.
