Firstly; When I go into Adobe Help Centre, all of the text is some sort of cursive font, impossible to read. Any ideas on how to change it?

Secondly; (This is a minor ‘problem’) I have a Canon EOS 350D digital camera (bought in Australia, so it should be the Digital Rebel in U.S.), and it has the option of setting black and white/ sepia etc. tones to pictures. However, when viewing in Photoshop/Camera Raw, it is in full colour! Any way to make Photoshop understand it is only meant to be b/w, or to preserve the sepia effect? Of course, I could always just desaturate it…

Finally; In Adobe Bridge, is there any way to preview the camera raw files (made by my 350D)? I have camera raw 3.1 installed, but the blue .CR2 file icon symbol appears, not the picture… Is this normal? I want to see my files!

P.S.: I am using Photoshop CS2 on Windows XP SP2.

1. Font in Help Center: There’s a thread about this, and also a workaround in the Adobe website support pages. I haven’t had the problem, so can’t give advice from personal experience.

2. Camera b/w or sepia effect vs. RAW: The RAW file is pulled into ACR with all of its data (i.e., full color); the effect is there for amateurs using JPEG output. Anyone sophisticated enough to shoot in raw isn’t going to want the camera to do that kind of processing. You can easily convert to b/w or sepia in Photoshop and do a better and more nuanced version than some camera preset.

3. Bridge previews of RAW images: You will have to wait until Bridge has created its cache of thumbnails and previews. This takes a while, but the cache is saved, so when you come back to the folder again the thumbnails and previews will display right away.
