in color and not b/w like I shot them. The camera manuel says it writes to the card in b/w. Then how come when I open them in C1, they are in perfect color. Thanks if anyone has an answer.
dazed and confused 🤓

  Hi,
  
  Raw files are always colour. If you set the camera to record jpgs in camera then thay are b/w and will import to your computer as such.
  
  If you shoot RAW they are full colour and you have to convert them in Photoshop or other editor. I THINK they are tagged internally as b/w but I have not yet found any software which recognises them properly.
  
  Photoshop Elements 3 HALF recognises them inamuch that the thumbnail viewer shows the RAW image in b/w but the converter (Camera RAW) works in colour.
  
  If anyone knows any more about this I will be REALLY pleased to hear from you -- especially if the images ARE tagged in some way in RAW and if anyone knows of a converter which honors thet tag.
  
  Adrian
