Bridge and Monochrome

Hello, 

It was suggested to me to shoot in monochrome so I did and loved it. I was traveling when I downloaded my pictures on my laptop and when I brought them up in Bridge, they turned to color and it was AWESOME. So now I'm home and I pull up the same images in Bridge on my desktop and I cannot for the life of me get them in color. I have checked every setting and tried to research this subject with no availability. Can anyone help me?

Your files I assume are RAW files? How did you transfer them to your desktop computer? If you simply copied them using your operating system then you probably did not transfer their sidecar files with them so you will be seeing them in their default state. Try copying them using Bridge then the sidecars will go with them. Alternatively open them in Camera Raw and set their colour profile to one of the monochrome profiles available.

Hello

They are in RAW. I tranferred them off my card into an album. When I load the album into Lightroom, they also appear in color. But when I pull them up in Bridge, they are still in Monochrome.
