Batch Converting Batch converting can be done with Camera Raw through Adobe Bridge Browser. The files are viewed in Bridge first (you can also rate and label them there, the whole spun of Bridge features is an issue for a separate article though). Then you can pick a group or a whole folder of files and send them to Adobe Camera Raw through the File menu
The Adobe Camera Raw look is a little bit different with a batch of images open in it as they are shown in a filmstrip on the left of the image preview. The active image is highlighted. Those images that were modified are marked with  .
Once in Adobe Camera Raw you can edit your images one by one (if the shooting conditions were diverse) or work with one image and use its settings for all the rest of them. In this case your course of actions will be to press Select all and Synchronize (becomes active on selecting all images) buttons. All of your images will have the settings of the active image then. If you have chosen Select All but not Synchronize, each image will have its own settings – either As Shot or Auto (whichever is set in Preferences as default).You can also apply some settings to a selected group of files by using the settings menu. The Save and Open tabs reflect the number of selected files. As you see both options are accessible for a batch just like they are accessible for single files. (If you’ve chosen to process not the whole batch but only a selection of files you’ll still be able to edit your images during the processing). Upon pressing the Save or Open buttons, the status of conversion process appears above the buttons block. Although the Open option is accessible in batch mode I think it not convenient, for all the files open in Adobe Photoshop one by one, its window becomes active, and as a result you can’t do anything either in Camera Raw (due to active window change) nor in PS (because of the new files opening all the time).
