Bridge adjusting brightness of preview

[Jodie]

This is something thats been happening for a little while and bugs me a bit...
When viewing my raws in bridge if I zoom in to check focus the preview of the image is being auto brightness adjusted, it's not the actual file but it is annoying me when I'm culling.
Is there something I've accidentally turned on in the settings?

 

Thanks!

Are you talking about Full Screen Preview mode (space bar)?  And when you single-left-click to zoom in, the brightness changes?

[Jodie]

No, it's using the navigating strip at the bottom to flick through and clicking on the image with the magnifying glass

Oh, ok, may I have a screenshot?

That looks right to me?  I even downloaded your screenshot, and copied the loupe area and shrunk it down so it fitted on the real eye, and toggled the layer off and on, and it looks identical in brightness.

Really?
Even when I open the images on here that I posted above and flick between the two I can see the difference in the backdrop brightness.  
It's the photo as a whole not just the zoomed in window, it's just that thats when it happens, even if I move on to another image and come back it remains that way.
Sorry I hope thats making sense!

Oh!  Right, I understand now.  I wasn't even looking for that.

Is it doing it with ALL photos?  Even old sets?

[Jodie]

yep even old sets, I just went into an old gallery and the same happened.

[Damien Symonds]

Hmmm, ok.  Better try resetting preferences, eh?

[Jodie]

well that was an easy fix!!

Thank you!!

And in just as good news I have enough posts now to join the skin class!!
