Apologies if this question goes over some old ground....I've had a good look around regarding the problems people are facing with Bridge's auto processing feature, but I haven't yet found an outright answer. So I will pose the question in my own way, and I believe it's a very simple one....
When reviewing a folder of RAW files, how do I stop Bridge from applying auto corrections and just show me each image as it came out of the camera?
Apart from the fact that Bridge's interpretation of the "correct" exposure and colour balance etc is often just plain wrong or at least not what I want, here's my real issue.
I use Bridge to do my initial editing of my images. So I will have a folder of around 1000 RAW files which I scroll through using the arrow keys in "filmstrip" view, applying a label to images I want to keep. This should be a fairly quick process...I'll know within a fraction of a second of seeing an image whether I want to keep it or not....but for each image I currently have to wait for a second or two while Bridge applies it's adjustments and renders the preview image in the top half of the screen, going from a pixelated/blurry image to a sharp "corrected" one. I would prefer to instantly see just a larger uncorrected version of the thumbnail so I can make my evaluation and move on. Working with the number of images I do, even that pause of a second or so adds up to a lot of time added to the job as a whole.
It's infuriating and you would think it would be a simple issue to deal with, but I've yet to find a conclusive answer to it.
I would be incredibly grateful to anyone who can help me put this issue to bed.
Many thanks
