I shot some images in B@W today. Opened the RAW images in Adobe Bridge (so far so good), then in Adobe RAW where they magically reverted to colour. Can someone explain please?

Does Adobe have a D3 NEF plugin? Sounds like your D3 made adjustments to the NEF to render it as B&W which Adobe is not recognising.

John...... I am sure when shooting RAW all pixs are shot in colour even if you select B&W. Use your processing sliders to convert to B&W, you will be surprised at the results and the same as PP colour pixs. Just move your saturation slider all the way to the left and use the others to ajust tone contrast etc......

Bernie I normally use a plug in called B&W Converter (Sheila Smart recommended it) and it is good. I was just intrigued how it was B&W on the Camera LCD, B&W in Bridge but colour in Adobe Raw convertor. Obviously as you said a RAW image is a RAW image.

the new ACR is very good ....... give the above a try, you do have a lot of control
