Save changes to camera raw images
You can save changes you’ve made to a camera raw file. The Camera Raw dialog box saves the camera raw image with
your changes in a .dng file. Be aware that saving the file does not open it in Photoshop Elements. (To open a camera
raw file, just use the Open command, like you would with any other file. Then you can edit and save the file like any
other image.)
1 In the Camera Raw dialog box, apply adjustments to one or more camera raw images.
2 Click the Save Image button.
3 In the Save Options dialog box, specify where to save the file and how to name the file if you're saving more than
one camera raw file.
4 Click Save.
Open a camera raw image in the Edit workspace
After you process a camera raw image in the Camera Raw dialog box, you can open the image and edit it in the Edit
workspace.
1 In the Camera Raw dialog box, apply adjustments to one or more camera raw images.
2 Click the Open Image button. The Camera Raw dialog box closes, and the photo opens in the Edit workspace.
