Here’s a way to apply Adobe Camera Raw settings to lots of images at once.
To apply the same settings to a group of images, open them in Bridge. Select a range of thumbnail images shot in a similar lighting conditions. Right-click any one of the thumbnails and choose “Open in Camera Raw.”
Choose “Select All.” Make your changes to the main image and all the selected images will update.
If you have a preset, choose your saved preset from the Apply Settings pop-up menu and click UPDATE. You should see the update on the screen immediately.
Then press Shift-Return on a Mac or Shift+Enter on a PC to open the photos and apply your saved settings.
Time to educate us idiots out here. Is Bridge a part of Camera Raw or a separate application?

Bridge is a program that is part of Photoshop. Go to File > Browse and Bridge will open as it’s own application if you have CS2 or newer. I believe Bridge was first introduced in Photoshop CS but in that version it opened as part of PS. In CS2 Adobe designed it to open as a separate application. I’m not sure if it is part of Elements.

Just to clarify Michael’s post. Both Bridge and Camera Raw are integrated with Photoshop. So if you open a RAW file with photoshop, Camera Raw will initially open the image (although this may be a setting in preferences). Likewise, Bridge can be opened just as in Michael’s example.

Educate the idiot, that is me. when I take picture they are jpgs,when i put a clipping path around them i save them as a tiff. This is how I use my pictures for the ad I do.
But I love taking pictures at weddings and doing strange things with them, ex: at my nieces wedding there was one of my other nieces with big sunglasses on I took a picture of the bride and groom and put them in her sunglasses. How would camera raw help me with things like that?
I have bridge but never used it. When I was in college and took photoshop we were never told any thing about it, but i have read about using camera raw. I have 3 weddings this year (2009) and my camera will be at my side.
Please TELL ME MORE.

This was a problem I was stuggling with before Christmas. I like the workaround above, but would suggest using Lightroom 2 would solve the problem completely. I can now use LR2 to sort a batch of 100 concert photos, apply the batch settings, and export as jpegs within half an hour. And this is as a beginner.
