RAW Brushes in Photoshop Are a Game-Changer (Once You Know Where They're Hiding)

I’ll be honest. For an embarrassingly long stretch of my freelance career, I treated Adobe Camera Raw like a toll booth. Something you click through as fast as possible on the way to the real work in Photoshop. Open image, nudge the exposure, hit Open, and get on with life. Then a client sent me a portrait that needed targeted skin retouching and localized color adjustments, and I spent two hours doing fiddly masking work in Photoshop that I should have handled in sixty seconds before I even got there.
