Summary
To paraphrase someone from somewhere: "it's all about the workflow, stupid". When professional photographers have thousands of photographs to process after a photo shoot nothing is more important than getting through the mountain of images quickly to get to the one or two that are worthy of printing. Real World Camera Raw promises to provide "expert techniques for building a workflow and automating tasks" using Photoshop CS and its built-in raw conversion tools.
