I had the same problem... Lightroom, Bridge, whatever software you use won't remember all the colour settings (vivid/neutral etc) from your camera unless you're shooting jpegs, with Raw you've got to do all that stuff yourself - which may be good or bad depending on what overall result you want and the amount of time you need to do it in. My advice would be either; use your cannon software (which will remember the settings) to process the image, or just shoot jpeg. Jonathan.
