Question

LrC automatically adding changes when switching from Library to Develop

When I bring image files into Lightroom Classic and begin to edit an image, I take the image from Library Module into the Develop Module, I not am finding that the Develop Module is makeing some changes to my image without being pressing the Auto button. I am not sure if white balance and tint are being effected, but I am noting that Exposure is at +33, Contrast is 0, Highlights is at -31, Shadows at + 10, Whites at 0, Blacks at 0, Texture at +8, Clarity at +4, Vibrance and Saturation both at 0. I have no idea why all sliders are not at 0 as they have been before today. I made several test images on another CFexpress card and uploaded them into LrC and I find the same situation with changes being made when taking the image file from Library Module into Develop Module. Can someone help me get these automative changes to stop? Thank you!

Can you post a video of your experience starting with an imported photo and show what happens when you switch from Library to Develop?

 

You didn't say which camera. Is it the Z8?

Can you post in a reply, a screenshot of your LrC /Preferences/Presets/

 

Also, in your Import Screen, over on the Right, in the A[[ly During Import Panel, any presets selected?

Sounds like you have set a preset that does this as camera default, perhaps even without realizing it. Or you set a preset to be applied on import, again possibly not intentional.

I am not aware that I have something in my camera that would cause LrC to make automatic changes.

  • Does the image actually change when you go to Develop, or does it look the same as in Library?
  • What make and model is your camera?
  • Are you importing raw files?
  • What does the History panel tell you? Does it say anything else than Import?

Yes and the colors look strange, so not sure if the software is changing the temperature or the tint.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
