Marc,
jpegs nefs and the occasional dng.
it seems to be a little arbitrary.
I seem to have got the nefs working but the jpgs in bridge only see red and purple from pm the others are all white which bridge calls 'select'.
OK so yellow is now working but green and blue are not showing up in Bridge.They are white and the label says 'to do' (I was incorrect concerning the white label being 'select' it is 'to do').
All I seem to be changing is retyping the colours.
Here are my prefs
OK, well one thing I see is that you shouldn't be embedding IPTC4XMP into RAW files when using Adobe products. All of Adobe's products have a 'bug' where they 'notice' IPTC4XMP data first when found embedded in RAW files, yet when the meta data changes they don't update the embedded IPTC4XMP data. They only update the XMP sidecar data. This can cause things to get out of sync. So please try un-checking the 'Add embedded IPTC4XMP' checkbox. Then test with files you haven't been working with so far. Once you get things figured out you can use the "Revert RAW photos to original..." command on the Tools menu to strip out the embedded IPTC4XMP in your current RAW files.
I would also like to see screen shots of the General Preferences tab and the Files tab in Photo Mechanic. And please post a screen shot of the label names from Bridge and LR2.
