This question should apply to all desktop or mobile forms of Lightroom…

 

When you say the saturation of a raw file changes when you load it, which of these do you mean:


A: The saturation changes visually, but the Saturation value is unchanged or 0.

B: The saturation changes visually, and the Saturation value has changed.

 

If you see A, it means you need to change the default import profile.

If you see B, it means you need to change the default import preset, to a preset that doesn’t change Saturation.

 

Keep in mind that a preset can involve a profile. Also, the default appearance might not match other applications because different applications have their own raw processing engines. In Adobe raw processors, you get the closest match to the in-camera appearance by choosing a Camera Matching profile as the default. 

 

In other words, when you view an image in Lightroom before making any edits, the initial appearance is set by whatever the defaults are.
