We haven't used the photobooth in a few weeks, and have it set with the stealth swtich II. So one is f3 and the other f2. When you press F2 it will preview in Black and White, but the prints still come out in color?

I double checked, and in the settings, the "Print photos in B&W" is checked.

Not sure what happened, any suggestions?

Sorry, it was working fine before. We are still using the same set up, but when we did a trial run, this is what happened.

I also tried unconnecting the Stealth switches and just using the keyboard, and also doing right & left mouse click...all the BW modes print in color.

"I double checked, and in the settings, the "Print photos in B&W" is checked."

Shouldn't that be UN checked if you are using two buttons if you have "left click for color and right click for B&W" selected?

I'm using pretty much the same setup as far as the buttons go and I have "Print photos in B&W" unchecked.

Which software and what version are you using please?

When B&W mode is selected the images are still taken in color but are printed in B&W.

I think it is 1.9.5.2
but I went back to 1.8 something. When I hit B&W release on my touch screen it changes to B&W and goes through the stepa all in B&W but prints in Color I tried checking Print in B&W and without it checked I tried just about every combo to get it to work but untill I went back to 1.8 is when the B&W started working again

thanks

Which software are you using please - DSLR Remote Pro, PSRemote or NKRemote?
There was a problem with the early versions of the software if the B&W or color buttons were pressed during printing but this was fixed a long time ago.

I'm sorry I can't find a way to reproduce this on my system. Please can you describe the exact sequence of actions to make it take the sequence in B&W but print in color? Is the live view displayed in B&W for the whole sequence or does something cause it to switch to color half way through? If you use the save JPEG copy output option is the saved layout in B&W or color?

I've found the problem: the new custom layout option wasn't converting the images to B&W before printing. This has been fixed in DSLR Remote Pro for Windows v1.9.1 which was released today.
