Originally posted by Schmidlapper: Does any one using Photoshop or elements, have any recommendations for custom settings to start out with in Adobe Raw? Auto does pretty well to start with. I was using black @ 5 based on recommendation, but have bumped it up to 10 as default custom value. Also set sharpening to 0. I know some people state they just raw process and publish, so I would think they know a good starting point by now.
I use Elements 10, and when opening up RAW files in Adobe Raw, I find the "auto" white balance setting to be pretty much right on most of the time. I occasionally tweak it a little bit to the warm side, but it's a matter of personal preference. The "auto" setting can take a bad white balance and move it to a very good starting point. Everything else is dependent on the specific RAW file you are working with.
