I am having big problems with bridge. Everytime I open up new RAW images it begins to apply some corrections to them. Sometimes it works for my advantage but most of the time it turns pictures that wouldve needed very little retouching into a weeks project fixing them all.

I like using bridge because of its organizing features like the stars and color labels but this is driving me nuts.

Does anybody know how to stop it from doing this?

Check Bridge's color management preferences... I turned all mine OFF.

Adobe, in their infinite wisdom, allow's Bridge to control color for ALL CS applications. That's where your color problems could be coming from

I cant find where bridges color management options are

In the panel where your "Favorites" are listed there is an option for "Bridge Center".. Go there and then way at the bottom there is a color management box - click that.

I appologize... I do have mine set for the icc profile of my color bureau service and print shop.

thats not in my favorites and i cant find it anywhere else

EJR.. Are you using CS2 version of Bridge?

Here's my screen shot...
