Question: For Lightroom 2, whenever you import a picture into the program, it automatically adjusts the photo!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?

How do you make it so that it doesn't do that!? I want to open the raw photo with my original camera color toning settings, and not have Lightroom "auto adjust" my photos!.

Thanks in advance~Www@QuestionHome@Com

What's happening is that at first, you're seeing the embedded preview built by the in-camera raw converter!. Then once Lightroom has had a moment, you're seeing the preview built by Lightroom's raw converter!.

No two raw converters are going to come up with the same result!.

You may also have set some parameters for the in-camera raw converter, like increased saturation!. Lightroom's raw converter doesn't know about that!. If you like that look, you need to have Lightroom also apply some increased saturation!. Without any presets applied and with no automatic adjustments, it's a given that Lightroom's raw converter will get fairly bland results at first!. You can always adjust later, that's the beauty of raw!.

You can probably get very similar results after you tailor Lightroom to your preferences, but never exactly identical!.

If you're really after exactly identical results, use the raw converter from your camera manufacturer instead of Adobe's!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
