if even you can't fix it, then I'm happy as long as the PS view is close enough to web, that's fine with me. I only use the Bridge preview for quick culling of shots anyway.
I was hoping you wouldn't notice that. Aussie spuds are harmless, unless you're MrsIt who has a weird eye potato allergy.
So Andy sez Lightroom operates in ProPhoto. Maybe the same for Bridge?
I know this was answered a few time somewhere in this big convoluted thread, but can someone please save me an hour or two of reading and tell me which colourspace I should set on my imac. I did the calibration thing and and have that saved as an option, but if I go to one of the other presets, which one should I use? sRGB? one of the others?

Set where?
Meaning, set Photoshop to sRGB. Calibrate your monitor. You don't "set your mac" to a color space, per se.
sorry, I should have been clearer. I have done the monitor calibration thing (couldn't really make the apple disappear!) and have since decided that that setting is a little too dark compared to the other presets I can choose in the "color" setting in the display preferences. So if I don't want to use the profile I saved using the monitor calibrator then which profile should I set it back to?? Make sense? I am probably mixing up my terminology badly here...
I did the change and I still have a bit of wonkiness - PS is now looking like FF, but the image in Bridge is NOT the same color as in PS. Screen grab (very obvious, colors are more saturated and contrasty in Bridge preview, on right):
Bridge displays images according to you Camera RAW preferences. Import an image into ACR, then adjust the basics like saturation and tonal curve, etc. Don't adjust exposure or any other setting that is more image to image dependent. Then go under the menu and click "save new camera raw defaults". Now bridge will display with better saturation, vibrance, contrast curve, etc..
This was a HUGE nightmare for me a while back and it took weeks of reading to get that simple paragraph posted above.
BTW I'm on a PC but this problem has proven to be an equal opportunity PITA and it's cross platform.

good onya for figuring that out... but, what if 99% of my images are .jpg, it still interprets them based on my camera RAW settings? that doesn't compute

Not sure on that.
I know there's som issues w/ Bridge in general w/ color management though.
I only use Br nowdays for browsing through .eps & .ai files NEway. I've finally keyworded my Lr collection to the point where I can find pretty much anything within a few keystrokes.
Did'nt see that part about the jpeg.. Good luck. It was a real hassle for me..
How do i save a photo from the net [in accordance with all copywrite laws of course]
three ways I can think of (Safari, anyway):
1. right-click to get the menu; press option to get the "Download Linked File As..." command to manually set the download folder
2. option-click the link to the image (option-click forces link to download to default download folder instead of appearing in browser)
3. drag the image off the page to a folder
Here is something I didn't know until like a week ago. If you are dragging and you can't see the target drop window, without stopping the drag (keep mouse pressed) hit Command-Tab with your other hand and pick the app icon so that the target window comes into view, then you can drop. Also when dragging to a closed folder you can press Space (again without stopping the drag) to pop open the folder in mid-drag; good way to drill down while dragging.

...and how do i allow cookies ?
All I ever do is either right click and save linked file ( or whatever it says)
or just drag the image to the desktop - put it where i want later - or you could use 'command+shift+4' and drag across the area you want copied and that will save it as a selective screenshot
I often use Grab that is provided with Mac OS. It should be in the utility folder. My only gripe would be that it saves as a tiff file, no option for jpg or gif, but it is easy to use and free.

If you are using Grab still, then get SCIT (google it, it's free), makes the grabbed file a jpg if you want

FYI:
If you ever grab a portion of a screen and send it to the Clipboard (using the shortcut cmd+shift+control+4), and then decide you’d rather have the image be a file of its own, just switch to Preview and press command-N—there’s no need to grab the screenshot again.

Edit: just tried the command-n thing in Preview, it's not working for me? Or maybe I just don't get what you're saying?
It opens as normal & in the first secon of the vid starting to buffer it closes & states 'your cookie function is turned off'
Try turning on "Always". That should fix it. Then see if you can turn it back to "Only Site I Navigate To" and see if it still works. The second is preferred, but it's not a huge deal.
There's a great plug-in app for Safari called Pith Helmet, that gives you a lot of control over cookies and other stuff. Unfortunately, it's not yet Leopard compatible.

Saving web images locally:
Click on the pick, drag it to where you want. Done.
Allowing cookies:
Safari>preferences (shortcut "cmd + ,")
Security tab. If you need help from there...
screen cap?

1. right-click to get the menu; press option to get the "Download Linked File As..." command to manually set the download folder

Dunno but this is a good place to get LR answers, several LR guru's there:-)

allow cookies by going to 'preferences>security>' click on 'only sites I navigate to' - that's what I use anyway I think it's deafult
There's also 'private browsing' you can set in the file menu

It is beta, and it requires that you get an invite, which I could have sent to you, but it requires that I give them an email for you.
You can watch a demo of it here.
