How to open JPEG images in Camera Raw in Photoshop
Have you ever wanted to open a jpeg image in Camera Raw in Photoshop? I do it sometimes as I like working with the camera raw controls, they offer some different options to the usual set of tools in the standard Photoshop tools pallette. Be warned though, you probably won't get the same range of colour and tone control as you would do with a RAW image. You can however, make sure you set the Depth to 16 Bits/Channel in the Workflow Options inside the Camera Raw window (to get to the Workflow Options, click the link underneath the photo between the "Save Image..." and "Open Image" buttons) to get more depth.
So, here is how you do it:1. Go to the Photoshop file menu, and click on "Open As..."2. Browse for the photo you want to open, and highlight it (click on it once with the mouse).
3. In the "Open As" dropdown box down the bottom (underneath the "File name" box), select "Camera Raw".
4. Click "Open".
