Jonathan,
While downloading put “Develop Settings” to “None”
That’s all.

Subject: Re: Lightroom question
Thanks Lea, and Trevor too.
I get the thing about RAW giving you much more in the way of post production
options, and kind of agree with you too, it is flexible and I think RAW is much
better quality than jpeg in terms of detail and the ability to re-adjust
exposure (much more forgiving than jpegs).
I just wandered as there is a split second when the image is loading up in the
window when it seems to remember the cameras setting, and then it loads fully
as a RAW and looks a bit flat by comparison. I thought maybe there might be a
button you could switch on and off to get it to recognise the camera mode when
you want, and to just treat as RAW when you want... Also, there is a palette
called ‘camera calibration’, in the ‘develop’ window.... I wandered if perhaps
that was something to do with making Lightroom recognise the camera I use
(D200) and remember it’s settings.
Thanks for your thoughts though.
Jonathan.

In raw there isn't a way to keep the
camera's settings that I'm aware of and of course that's the point of raw...to
capture the data and have the flexibility to manipulate it as you like.
It does take a bit of work but once you get the hang of it you'll fly.
If you aren't aware of the 'sync' command you might like to know that once you
get one image adjusted as you like you can then 'sync' any others created under
the same conditions and it will apply those settings to them. It makes
processing many images very, very fast so long as they were photographed under
the same conditions.

Hello,
I have a question about lightroom. When I shoot RAW files lightroom doesn't
show the pictures in the colour profile I shot them in. For example, if I shoot
in 'vivid colour' mode, or Black and white, lightroom won't remember that's how
they were shot...they look very flat and dull. If I put them into my Nikon
software (which is slow and fairly useless) there is no problem.
Is there a way to make lightroom recognise the original camera settings? I
can't seem to get them to look like they did on the back of the camera, no
matter how much I play with the levels/saturation etc etc.
Cheers,
Jonathan.
