michael2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Share #1 Â Posted April 30, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Greetings! Â I'm having an odd situation with my D-Lux 5 where my settings are Standard B&W, but when I open the images in iPhoto or in Photoshop, they are in color? Â Has this happened to other people? Am I missing a step? Â I'd be grateful for any tips or advice. Â Thanks very much, in advance -- Â Best, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted April 30, 2012 Share #2 Â Posted April 30, 2012 Could it be that your DL5 is set to shoot only RAW files? Â Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael2012 Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share #3 Â Posted April 30, 2012 Pete, of course that's it. I didn't realize that would happen if I set it to RAW. Â Fixed now. Thanks so much for taking the time, as it was driving me crazy. Â Thanks again -- Â Best, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted May 1, 2012 Share #5 Â Posted May 1, 2012 No. RAW files are, to all intents and purposes, just the data from the sensor. Since the sensor records in colour, RAW files are always colour. The B&Ws are jpgs created in-camera from those RAW files. Â That is, until next week, if Leica introduce the B&W only M9.

brucek Posted May 1, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted May 1, 2012 Does this mean BW shots are not possible on RAW settings? Â As Andy points out RAW files are always in color. But if you shoot both RAW and JPGs (I believe that is possible on the D-Lux5 - I do not have one myself) you will end up with B&W JPGs and Color RAW files. The best of both worlds.
