anyone else have the problem in cs3 adobe bridge where when you click the files it reverts to original settings?
For example:
I spent the day taking photos in black and white with some changes to the contrast etc... so when I click on the file in adobe ridge it changes it back to color and basic settings. Any way to get around this? |

I can tell you what I think is happening, but I don't know if there's a way around it. Initially, the thumbnail you see is the one written by the camera, and that uses the in-camera settings. Adobe is then regenerating the thumbnail, and you see it change to the one generated by Bridge. You may be able to turn off this feature, but I don't know specifically where the setting would be.
ETA: In bridge, under Edit>Preferences choose "Thumbnails" tab and try unchecking "Prefer Adobe Camera RAW...", this *might* do what you wish.
Adobe applications don't understand the in-camera settings, so they can't render the image as the camera specifies, but must make their own interpretation. If you want to respect the in-camera settings, try using Canon DPP (Digital Photo Professional).

thank you.
I tried what you suggested and unfortunately it didn't work. For specific cases I will use DPP as you suggested. Most of the time i don't use specific camera settings like I did so it is not a huge problem. thanks for clarification!

There are so many ways to convert a color image to b&w, all with different tonalities and such. I think shooting "in camera b&w" would be very limiting. How do you know that, in camera, you're going to get the right mix of yellow to red to blue conversion tonalities for the image that you are shooting? I'd much rather make the decision in Lightroom, or ACR, or even Photoshop, as opposed to having the camera make that decision for me.
So really, you've not lost much ... if anything, you've gained back the color so that now you can do a proper color-to-b&w conversion. :-) (what can I say, I'm an optimistic sort, the glass is always half full)

it's the same as in lightroom - if you want the canon version of the BW photo then you have to shoot raw + JPG so that you have both versions of the photo. But I agree with the others, why would you want to use the camera's version when you have the most advanced editing program know to man? download/develop yourself a couple of action you like and you will never bother using the camera to do B&W again.
I've got a photoshop action you can download on my website and I've written about it on my blog - //timboehm.blogspot.com

B&W Raw in camera is a Picture Style. AFAIK, DPP and only a few other programs (breezebrowser is one) supports Canon's picture styles.
Since adobe chose not too, or ccan't decode them, I question adobe's ability and/or intent. Can't they do it, or do they choose what file bits the read and ignore.
Picture styles can save you a lot of time and effort, and even money. Sure, you can buy CS3 or Lightroom and create custom settings to do teh same thing, but if you don't have to, why would you? It's built into the camera and DPP is free.

I agree totally. I know I have great editing tools in PS3 and ACR, however in this case I actually would much prefer to use the black and white straight out of the camera as my starting point for editing instead of the original. I don't think that will be the case in a heavy majority of images, but for these images I was very happy with the in camera settings I was using and the result it was putting out. As I said before, if I need to I will just use DPP instead if I need to in certain cases like this.
