I was disappointed yesterday after spending all morning shooting mostly in Monochrome (5DMkII, RAW +JPEG) and discovering that the RAW images were B&W. i thought the jpegs would be an in-camera conversion, but the RAW files would be color. At least in the Canon Professional software the RAW files appear B&W. I can only open my RAW files with this software since my Photoshop version (CS3, i believe) does not read the CR2 files. Someone mentioned that the RAW files appear B& W in DPP only. Is this true? Is there a way to render those images in color in DPP?
Thanks
In addition to the other answers about picture styles in DPP, you can download the DNG convertor from Adobe. This will make copies of the .CR2 files that are converted to .DNG and can be opened in Adobe camera Raw.
