I have a problem that I don't know how to solve. Could you please advise me?

The thing is that I want to import a photo from my camera (Canon EOS R) to lightroom, and while viewing the photos I still have reliable colors, as soon as I import the photo, I go to Develop, the photo changes completely. The whole color, tone, is completely different. Could you please advise me how to solve the problem? This has never happened to me before. Thank you in advance

Hey, @Lucia31500273fr32. Welcome to the Lightroom Community. I'll move this to the Lightroom Classic community for now. 

 

What you see in Lightroom's Develop module is an unprocessed view of the actual RAW image. The Camera & the Windows Photo viewer display the JPEG preview of the same image, which may not look exactly like the RAW image, as it's intended for casual viewing, whereas RAW is designed for developing those images.

 

Here’s an FAQ for Lightroom Classic that usually applies to Lightroom too: https://adobe.ly/4i7VVGo

 

Thanks!
