Question

Adobe Bridge is adding color and contrast to my raw files.

As seen on the screen recording added to this post, my raw files are automatically getting more contrast and colour as they are loaded into Adobe Bridge… Anyone else have this problem? And how do I fix it? I would love the images to stay neutral until I edit them.

    Hi ​@veroov!

    What you’re seeing is expected behavior when working with RAW files in Adobe Bridge.

    RAW images don’t display as completely “neutral” by default—instead, Bridge shows a preview based on either the camera’s embedded JPEG preview or Adobe’s default rendering. That’s why you may notice an increase in contrast and color as the image loads.
