Using Adobe Camera Raw to enlarge your image
Sep 9, 2011 17:12:05 #
You can use Adobe Camera RAW to enlarge your image for increased resolution. This is great if you are making very large prints or if you need to crop your photo.
Open the RAW file with ACR, then click the link at the bottom to open the Workflow Options:

In the Workflow Options dialog, select the largest size available:

Make any other adjustments you would make in ACR, then open the file.

Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is a plugin for Photoshop. Photoshop cannot open RAW files by itself, so if you have use Photoshop to edit RAW images then you have probably used ACR.

Strubbles, if you shoot RAW with your Nikon, ACR is also where you could adjust your white balance to get the color you like, regardless what W/B you had set when you shot the picture.

Yes, but I would rather learn how to set it in camera. If one shoots in raw, there are a lot of sliders for white balance.
Sometimes, when on trip, I shoot only in jpg to save lots of space... when I take loads and loads of shots. Then, opening in ACR only has three sliders or options.
I do try to shoot in raw, but sometimes there are so many pix to be taken. Have you ever been on the Oasis of the Seas? Normally when we cruise, I hardly take any photos. On the Oasis? I could not stop. What a ship!

OK, see your point about many sliders in ACR, but the only one you need to adjust is the temperature one for W/B. The others you can leave alone and then open picture in photoshop.
About setting the white balance in camera, I own a D300, (precursor to yours), Press the WB button on top left knob and hold, now rotate the wheel on the back of the camera onthr top right and look at the symbols on your top LCD screen to see the settings, if these are too small, press the Info key (Sideways Key), on the back of the camera to turn on the scree on the back then do the thing with WB and wheel, you'll see the info easier. Enjoy, BTW Memory cards are cheap, I bought my on sale (SanDisk has these now and then), and now have about 5 four gb with me for shooting. each one holds about 197 raw pics.

Temperature and Tint are both necessary for WB adjustments. You can also use the WB tool (eyedropper) from the toolbar, then click on a neutral part of the image.

In Photoshop CS3 and above you can in Bridge open a jpeg in RAW and you can edit it like a regular DNG/RAW, you just don't have as many the tools that you would have as a regular DNG/RAW photo

And this is relevant to this topic how?

WELL!!!!! You don't have to have a RAW file to open Adobe Camera Raw to enlarge your image you can also open a JPEG file. You open Bridge locate your jpeg file right click on it the pull down menu will have "open in camera raw". I was just expanding what you put out.

Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but this seems to be going off-topic quickly.
Using this technique to enlarge JPG files is not very effective... Photoshop will allow you to enlarge JPG images with better control and more options via the "Image size" dialog. This provides better control of how the image is resized (bicubic, bicubic sharper, bicubic smoother, etc.) and the option to choose the final resolution (72ppi, 96ppi, 300ppi, and any custom resolution).
The method described in the first post is better suited to RAW image format, since this file format contains more data per pixel, but gives you fewer choices for the final size and resolution.
