    Photos Edited by themselves

    frogmike Community Member

      This is very weird and I'm honestly not sure what to make of it. I use Bridge CS5.

      I transfered some RAW photos over (Nikon D7000) and as the thumbnail photos loaded I noticed that all the colors and everything seemed... awesome. I opened the RAW files and I saw that the files have already been adjusted (exposure, clarity, colors, etc...) The photos honestly, looked amazing. I wasn't sure what caused this, I had just transfered my photos over 10 minutes prior. And this was done for all the photos I transfered over. Then they started converting back to their regular RAW defaults... I did "restore to RAW default" prior to that, but I'm not sure if that's what caused.

       

      I'm wondering if its something I did in bridge where it started to edit my photos for me, in a sense. I want to try and get them back to how they were before, thanks.

          I believe what you are seeing is the difference between the jpeg viewer of the RAW the generates, and the RAW thumbnail which is set by the defaults in the ACR progam. 

           

          If you want the thumbnail to show the camera jpeg (this is the view you get in the camera when you look at the photo) then you can click "use embedded".  This is the smallest, fastest thumbnail option, but it will not show any RAW edits.

           

          Thumbnail options can be changed by clicking on the icon in the toolbar located under Filmstrip.

            It might be, when I opened the files in RAW (before they converted back), the settings were different, they were at different settings which made the images look great. Are there any presets of any sort maybe?

              RAW is an upprocessed image.  You can set the default to AUTO or set you own levels and mark that as default.  These options are just above the exposure slider.

                It sounds like you have "Apply Auto Tone Adjustments" set in Camera Raw preferences.
