When I import an image into Lightroom Mobile, it seems to darken my image from original. neer used tobe this way, why now? The files are untouched, the first screenshot is from SD Storage, the second is a screenshot of the same photo after importing into LR, no editing done.

BTW, this is unacceptable, Gallery, as of late, has been out performing LR, thinking of a change, as changing the way my photos are shot, is not right.

You are witnessing Lightroom applying its default settings to the photos on import. This is easily controlled. In Lr, hit the 3 dots menu at the top, then choose App Settings > Import > Raw Default Settings, and change from "Adobe Default" to "Camera Default."

For me, I don't care about this, as I'm going to develop the photos MY way regardless. I don't want the camera's idea of how my photo should look, I want to have my own control. But, that's my opinion and workflow.

Thank you for the reply, however, my settings are as suggested. I have a photo , in sepia tone, that I like just as taken. Took it LR to export as a Jpeg, no editing required. LR changed the appearance of my photo on import, no longer sepia, more black & white, not what I wanted. Also, to accces these setting on LR Mobile, hit the three lines in the top left corner, hit preferences which then takes you to default import settings. Regardless, LR is changing my photos upon import with settings set to camera setting as default. Not good IMHO.
