Hey ya'll! I took some shots using the B&W mode with my 20D but when I view the RAW files in PS CS camera raw, they are in color. Am I missing something?

If you choose ONLY RAW, then it will be black and white. If you have RAW + JPEG, the RAW will be color and the JPEG willb e BW.
Hope this helps

I know! I started the thread :-D
Guess I'm missing something though - how do I get RAW B&Ws out of my 20D if they are showing up in color in camera raw?? I'm perplexed!
p.s. What happened to Jelloeye?

There is no such thing as a RAW B&W. RAW is exactly what the sensor sees. To convert to B&W would basically make it not RAW anymore.
Onboard B&W (aside from being more limiting than useful) only works when saving as JPG. |

shooting in camera in b/w is kind of a waste...
Theres only about 256 shades of gray compared to millions of shades of color, so you get more tonage when converting from color to b/w

| While the 10D/20D/etc. do not actually record b&w data, there do exist b&w digital cameras (such as the Kodak 760m). The 760m is not restricted to 256 shades of gray (12-bits of b&w goodness in a linear TIFF) and has no bayer matrix or anti-alias filter. |

Not strictly true - an 8-bit jpeg has only 256 shades of grey available - so your dpc entries are limited in that fashion. Obviously in higher resolution formats, you have proportionately more data.
