I was checking out the pictures i took this weekend (shot in raw) with PSCS2 Brdige and it was auto-leveling all of the thumbnails and the preview images that I was looking at. :evil: Has anybody else noticed this happening to you? I looked in the Bridge Preference but I couldn't find anything that would let me turn this auto-leveling off but there has to be a way to do that, I'm sure. :confused:

OK, I dug into this a little bit and discovered that the reason my thumbnails and previews are auto-leveling is because my camera raw default setting has the new to PSCS2 Auto feature turned on automatically. I changed the camera raw default not use the Auto feature and then reset all the thumbnails in Bridge to use the new camera raw default settings. No more gross looking auto-leveled images anymore! :D

No, it's in ACR when you open a RAW file from Bridge. It looks like all the Auto options are checked by default when you install PSCS2. If you don't want them to be checked, you need to open a RAW file and then uncheck any or all the Auto options you don't want. You can then save the new settings as your new Default Camera Settings by clicking on the "right pointing" triangle at the top of the ACR window (Settings:) and selecting "Save New Camera Raw Defaults".

I spent ages looking for the way to turn that off before finding the same solution as you. Seems a bit of a pain to do it that way. Something in the preferences would have seemed more logical. Anyway, at least the problem is solved.

So did you just "center" all of the sliders that it had "auto-adjusted" for you, and then save that as your default?
I'd like to disable this "feature as well, but I am not too sure what should be the "default" for things like "shadows", "contrast", etc. Could end up just trading one set of artificial adjustments for another.

Any suggstions where each slider in ACR should be to leave an image "untouched" until you start fiddling with it yourself?
