My photo's are automatically lightened after import (wihtout moving the sliders). Does anyone know how to fix this?

 

I am on purpose shooting slightly underexposed. And LrC makes my photo's ligther, but I am loosing some details with this action from LrC. When I manualy make my pfoto's ligther I keep the details.

 

This problem occured past few days. Weeks beofre I did not have this problem.

 

Already removed LrC and installed again.

@timothy_5841 , You stated "I am on purpose shooting slightly underexposed."

You are shooting with your camera set to save RAW files.
When you import the raw images into LrC  uses the default develop settings to produce a preview file to display on the computer screen. However LrC is unable to apply your in Camera settings since your Camera manufacturer uses it's own proprietary software that LrC cannot use.

    @timothy_5841  Have a look at the article available at the link below which will describe how you can adjust LrC default develop settings to match specific Camera models. While the article is focused on Color / B&W issue it describes how to make adjustments to Lightroom Default Settings. You can also create multiple Presets to apply at import.

    Does the History panel in the Develop Module show any presets applied to these photos? Does the history panel show any other actions after import?
