    Correct answer dj_paige

    Are these brand new photos, that have never been in LRC before, just imported? Are they RAW images?

     

    If so, LrC displays the embedded JPG in the RAW file until it can render its own version of the RAW image, and then it shows the RAW image which will look different than the embedded JPG. This is perfectly normal, and cannot be turned off. You can, if you want, create presets that can be applied at import to make the original appearance of the RAW more to your liking.

     

    PS: In the original dialog box where you create your question, it asks you to Briefly Describe your question, my emphasis on the word “Briefly”, so that could be something like “Image turns darker after 2 seconds”. In the next dialog box, you describe the problem in detail. We don’t need a 42 word “Brief” description and then the same text in the body of the post.

    Please post your LRC question in the LRC forum:

    Note: You will need to slightly change the wording of the title of the thread or you will get a duplicate question error.
