How do I stop B/W photos changing to colour?

I am running LR 2.7 on a Mac and this weekend for the first time, I set my camera to black & white mode and took a series of raw photos. When I imported them they all came across in the filmstrip as black & white but as soon as I started viewing them they changed to colour. I know the raw file contains all the colour data etc.  but I really wanted to work on the black & white image from the camera and not have to start from a colour image? What did I do wrong? How can I stop it changing in future when I shoot raw files?

Lightroom knows little to nothing about your in-camera process settings. So, setting the camera to B&W and expecting the images to be correctly rendered is futile. The following post from the FAQ forum should help explain the reasons http://forums.adobe.com/thread/358016?tstart=0
If you really want your images to appear as B&W in Lightroom you can apply one of the B&W develop presets during import.

    how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media.  i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

    No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

  • How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album.....?

    How do I stop iTunes from automatically changing artist, album, and genre names?
    I keep my itunes library folder very organized. You wont find the same artist spelled two different ways in it. But itunes automatically changes the artists, album names, and genres for whatever reason, making it so I have to edit my library all over again.

    No, don't check it!
    That is the only setting that would let itunes change file names. Read right underneath it - itunes will create files & folders based on artist & album name.
    Something else must be changing your files, then - not iTunes.
    Every PC comes with WIndows Media Player. Go into that and uncheck the options to retreive internet info for albums. It's in 2 places, on the Library tab and the Privacy tab.

    I am on 10g platform.

However the problem I face is that the tab order get changed/switched (tab B become 1st and tab A become 2nd) when I come back from the other page to tab B. How can I stop tab order get changed/switched?

  • How do I stop DW CS6 randomly changing file permissions via FTP?

    How do I stop Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1.5842 randomly changing file permissions when it uploads files to my web server via FTP.
    I can no longer trust Dreamweaver to upload websites correctly as it changes permissions on some files which then deny the server access to the file which in turn makes the webpage unreachable/return a 403 error.
    This is driving me insane.
    I'm using an early 2011 Macbook Pro 10.7.5.

    Hi,
    I'm having this problem too. Has Adobe fixed the issue yet? This appears to be an Adobe problem, not all the web hosts out there. CS6 is ramdomly (meaning: not every time) changing permissions on files uploaded with it and is not usable for web work until this problem is fixed by Adobe or a solution is provided. If I wanted to use a separate FTP program I would not have recommended that my employer buy multiple Adobe CS6 product licenses. One of the primary appeals of DW is the integration of FTP into the workflow.
    I am using a destop iMac2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    OSX 10.7.5
    I am using DW Version 12 Build: 5808
    Dreamweaver CS4 that I was using until this new purchase was working just fine. No file permisssion changes. I am being forced to go back to using it until Adobe posts a fix for this.
    I should ask while I'm here: has anyone found a solution for this yet?
    Thanks,
    -c-

  • How do I stop my audio from changing pitch when moving it to another track?

    I read up a bit on the "Flex" settings, however, I can't seem to turn it completely off. The flex button is not engaged, however, when I move audio from one track to another, the pitch changes. How do I stop this completely?

    You have to disable it on the tracks themselves too. The 'main' flex button only turns on and off Flex view, and not flex itself.
    Flex view on, track flexed
    Flex view off, track flexed (or not?)
    Flex view on, track not flexed

  • Facebook is my home page on Mozilla; everytime I go to log in, my browser has been changed to proxy. I have to change this every time in order to get face book to load; how do I stop the browser from changing to proxy?

    My internet option state "do not use a proxy" but each time I go to long in on Firefox to Facebook, the proxy server has been changed to showing proxy and I can not get on to facebook until I go in and change it back to Do Not use Proxy. The problem is the setting does not stay but every time I go back to long on it's back to proxy server? How do I get it to not change???

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

  • How do you stop your kid from changing the plan?

    I can't actually call a number? There's none listed on this site. I need to stop my kid from changing the plan from 3 gig to 10 bc I can't afford it and I'm going to end up canceling the service if I can't get help. They shouldn't be able to do this. I e had nothing but problems from the start. First getting a used iPad and used phone out of the 3 and being locked out bc the previous owner had I tunes passwords on the phone and on the iPad. Then I was told I was signing up for the next plan and that wasn't so now I have a crapload of extra charges because I can't get ahold of anyone to try to fix this. I'm so frustrated I could blow up!!!

    Put a passcode on the account. That way, he will have to know the passcode to change the plan. If he doesn't know the passcode, he can't change the account.

  • How do I stop i-tunes from changing the genres for my songs without my consent?

    Lately, itunes has been taking the genres I've set for my songs and changing them without my consent or say so.  I change them back to what I want, i-tunes changes it back to what it wants, etc.. 
    For example, I might list something as "Rock", but i-tunes decides it's "Pop" or "Alternate Rock" and edits my file's meta-data unilaterally.  I might decide I want a category called "Christmas Music", but i-tunes decides the genre is "Holiday Music".  I even have a few songs labeled "Urban", and i-tunes tries to change them to "Hip-Hop/Rap" or "Rap/Hip-hope".  I took a lot of time with my large music collection to get this stuff exactly the way I wanted it- simplified.  I-tunes is screwing it up.
    This is *my* music.  I even bought it all legally on a limited budget.  I get to decide what genre I want it listed as.
    Is there a setting or something I can change to get i-tunes to stop messing my music genre data?  Or do I have to find a new music player?
    I've got a long suffering ipod classic I was thinking of replacing at some point, but I may leave the i-tunes ecosystem entirely over this instead.  To make things worse, my ipod with it's troubled syncing and broken buttons now has to deal with constantly recopying files with new genres every time I sync and itunes or I have changed something in our constant man versus machine battle- just try have hundreds of songs recopied each time without an error on something that barely can handle normal syncing after reconnecting 10 times or so every sync because it doesn't take the first 9 times.
    I don't want to fight my music player.  I just want the thing to work and do what I instruct it to do.  Either that or I'm going to have to rename it "HAL" and start calling myself "Dave" ala 2001: A Space Odessy.  Because this thing seems to be turning on me.

    Ugh.  I thought I was exagerating when I said song name changes were next.  Apparently, I was literally correct.  I haven't seen it yet personally, but Tooltomus says he has.
    I thought the genre changes had stopped, only to see that they'd started up again a few minutes ago.  This is getting really old really fast.
    Again, why does Apple seem to think it can do whatever it wants to our bought and paid for music without our permission?  This isn't about interface changes or whatever, which are all well within their rights, but to actually alter our files themselves without asking or even notifying us.  They've got to be kidding...  Isn't there some way to turn this off?
    Why are they doing this?  What's the point of it?  Is it intentional or some kind of bug?  Is anyone from Apple going to bother to even tell us?
    I feel like I had some great music software and a great music player.  I've used them for hours every day for years.  I really love smart playlists and a whole bunch of features.  It's very upsetting to see them go in this direction.
    You know, record companies and music sellers have been pushing the idea of legally purchased files for years, saying it's just the same as CDs or whatever.  And I've been dutifully buying my files this whole time from various legal sellers instead of pirating them.  And now they're basically doing the equivalent of breaking into my home and messing around with my CDs- scrobbling all over the covers and album booklets, etc.. 
    Why even have a genre setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change genres?  Why even have a song setting the user can change if the program is going to keep overriding it and change song titles?  What happens when the program gets something wrong?
    Anyone know how to turn this off?  Would going back to itunes 10 help or is this coming from the server to every version of itunes?  Is there other music player software that will leave my music alone that will preserve my playcounts, ratings, playlists, last played, and so on and so forth, and support syncing to my ipod?  Can I somehow cut itunes off from contacting apple's servers to look up information and make these changes?

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)
