The Camera Raw Toolbar

We’re in the home stretch, folks, so hang in there. The last big set of controls for Camera Raw resides in the main toolbar. Figure 4-44 shows the tool name and keyboard shortcut.

While the Camera Raw toolbar is the location for what is referred to as “tools” in Camera Raw, it could be argued that almost everything in Camera Raw is a tool. However, for certain functions relating to white balance, cropping, and retouching, this is where you’ll turn. Another function of the toolbar is to give you access to Camera Raw’s Preferences, which offer critical control over the way Camera Raw behaves. Wherever possible, we suggest using the keyboard commands to make working in Camera Raw as efficient as possible.
