New Default Camera RAW Settings In Photoshop CS2
Ben Willmore brought up an interesting point about Camera RAW and Photoshop CS2 in his blog yesterday:

One thing to look out for in this version: The default settings for Camera Raw have changed... unadjusted Raw images are now automatically adjusted causing the thumbnail and preview images to look quite different than older versions. A lot of people will think it's a great change, but if you bracket your exposures, you'll find that all the exposures will be normalized, which will make them all look very similar.
If you'd prefer to use the old default settings, then do the following:

1) Open any Raw format image to cause the Camera Raw dialog box to appear.
2) Choose Camera Default from the Settings pop-up menu.
3) Type Command-U (Mac), or Ctrl-U (Win) to turn off the Auto checkboxes
4) Choose Save New Camera Raw Defaults from the side menu that appears to the right of the Settings pop-up menu.

The default settings are camera specific, so if you own more than one camera, then you'll have to do this with a file from each camera you own.

I found it here.

Definitely necessary, I'm sure you heard me crabbing about it last weekend

I figured out how to do it in Photoshop Help -- that little triangle button to save the default settings is easy to forget about.

Cool, I'm glad you saw this and commented, I'd been thinking about you. I was pissed that it auto-corrected my bracketing, but grateful it auto-corrected my hundreds of headshots. Gotta give a little to get a little, I guess.

Thanks for the tip!
I will remember to use it!

They didn't some strange changes in CS2, I agree..
