monochrome in colour 5dmk2

Have a question. Was trying BW work today. Set my 5D to monochrome in picture settings and every photo in the lcd was in BW.

Why is it in post when I view the images in bridge, they are in colour?

Raw images won't be in B&W unless you use DPP as your raw converter.

Adobe products don't read in-camera settings. You're better off converting in post IMO but if you really want to shoot B&W, do so in jpeg.

ok, I think I may leave it hat way shooting BW so I have an idea how it will look when converted,

Thanks for the reply

Learn to see things in Black and White before you even take the shot.

You can also add an in-camera processing so that you can get an even better idea - say after applying a red, orange or yellow filter.

You can also select RAW + B/W and in DPP easily convert back to colour with the original RAW file.

This is what I do when I shoot B/W.

It is highly probable that after shooting in B&W you will spend some time tweaking the image to meet your desires. That is one reason that the general recommendation is to just shoot color, and in "post" tweak to the B&W image you desire. You actually have mor versatility doing it this way although that statement is somewahyt dependent on the software you are using in "post".
