Do the same thing for any other cameras that you may want to load raw files from. The solution? Simple, Just turn them off (CMD/CTRL-U) and then Save New Camera Raw Defaultsagain, followed by Done. Your 1Ds MKII files will still be displayed as thumbnails within Bridge with the Auto settings active, and when loaded into Camera Raw will appear that way as well. So, if you shoot with a Canon 5D and a 1DsMKII, for example, and you turned each of the Auto check boxes off, and saved that configuration as your default while a 5D file was displayed, it only applies to 5D files. The gottchais that Save New Camera Raw Defaultsonly applies to the camera model that was being used when this menu item was selected. This makes selecting the best one problematic, but can also be very confusing when one has deliberately bracketed exposures for effect. Even shots a couple of stops over or under exposed look much like a properly exposed one. The reason why is that shots taken with different exposures are all made to look almost alike. But for others, me included, this is not a good thing. So, if the default Auto-On is the way things are, every thumbnail in Bridge will be as good as the auto function can make it.Īgain, for some users that may be a good thing. Whatever your default settings for Camera Raw may be, these are also used by Adobe Bridge when thumbnail previews are being displayed. This turns out to be a handier trick than it first appears. Of course you can always go back to the way things were with Reset Camera Raw Defaults, under the same menu. The next time Camera Raw is loaded it will come up set the way you’d like it. The thing that you must do next though is press DONE at the bottom right of screen. When you have the four offending check boxes the way you want them, such as all OFF, or with any other settings adjusted as well to the way you like them whenever Camera Raw loads, just select Save New Camera Raw Defaults. One of these is Save New Camera Raw Defaults. But if it’s your preference to always have them OFF, then all you need do is click on the small right-facing triangle next to the Settingswindow at the top-right of the screen. The first is that you can press CMD/CTRL – U to turn them all ON or OFF. Of course Camera Raw provides a solution several in fact. But it can be tedious to have to do this each time an image is imported for processing. It also isn’t that difficult to turn off the four Auto check boxes. Sometimes the Auto settings are very good, and sometimes not so good, but they rarely are really bad. It makes processing images quicker, without the need to tweak each one.
