At the bottom of the ACR screen, there is a hyper link that shows the current colorspace, bit depth, dimensions, dpi settings. Click on that to change the settings.

Boy oh boy, this must be my lucky day.....I have learned 2 things...

Thanks Ryan....now will it save it and keep it for all Raw images????

It should be the default settings from now on, until you change it again.

You know, if you learn enough, do you move out of geekhood or are you a geek for life?

Mark, I have yet to learn enough to actually qualify me for "geek" status....

Make sure you set the default colorspace to ProPhoto RGB for a much wider colorspace to work from in PSCS3. This is my default colorspace until I need to convert to sRGB for the web.

Keep working at it - you're true geekness will show !!!

Thank you for asking my silly question for me! I was too chicken.

Good news, now I know something geeky. Could this be hazardous?
