I converted 30 color images in ACR to BW and they look terrific BW in Bridge and they look terrific BW in PS, but on Desktop on Mac still color and when I upload to Blog still color. Really annoying.

Correct answer Stephen Marsh

You have to render the metadata instructions into actual edits to the pixel data. All of this and more is explained in this old video from Adobe’s Russell Brown:

Once you understand how metadata based “edits” are different to direct pixel based edits this all makes sense.

Thanks Stephen, I don't think the old Russell vid is working?

Anyway, Bit weird as the BW sit next to colors in Bridge and the colors are done, ready to use, so I'll have to run IP, then replace in folder with colors... more degradation no?
