Developing an Awesome Angelfish in Camera Raw

In this week’s free Deke’s Techniques movie, Deke takes a single frame from an underwater video shot with a GoPro Hero 4 and develops it into an awesome portrait of a French angelfish.

The heavy lifting for this transformation is done with Camera Raw’s white balance and color enhancing features, along with a bit of Noise Reduction along the way. These useful aspects of Camera Raw are more convenient than ever to use, given you can now apply them as a smart filter from directly inside Photoshop.
