Cammer Settings

Hello, I have a huge problem with a light room after reinstalling. To all pictures LR automatically applies a preset. By default its adobe color.  Edit on PC/ File on Mac; Preferences; Preset; Global and you were able to set to a camera settings. What it does is apply any presets to your photos. This is the way I always edited my pictures. The settings are still there, but it doesn't do what it is supposed to. Even with these settings on, LR applies very poor brown colors with a terrible HL and destroys all beautiful work that was done at the set. Does anyone has a solution for it? Thank you very much!

Did you actually change the raw default to camera settings? That should make the image in Lightroom look close to the in-camera jpeg preview. If it looks radically different, you very likely have a monitor profile issue. A typical result of that is brownish images and the histogram will have a tint in the normally grey parts. The resolution to that is to calibrate your display using calibration hardware. If you don't have any, go into your monitor's properties panel and in the color management tab, delete any profile you see associated with the monitor. That should fix the problem but guarantees you don't have a calibrated display so you still should get a calibrator and calibrate your display.

Okay, so your advice is what? Check if I did make changes, and check if my monitor is working properly? 

Did I mention that the problem started after I reinstalled LR, not when I got a new monitor? I don't understand, are you trying to help me or you asking me if I am do not suffer from mental problem? Is this Adobe forum or I am on a random facebook group?      Here is the evidence that the settings were made. And here is the same picture with different colors, that happens when lr APPLIES the preset, it doesn't import with a preset. It applies preset as soon as I open a photo on the developer page. Meaning it's changing color in real time, meaning the monitor does show the camera settings picture, then after it's applied an Adobe Color preset it changes. Meaning my monitor calibrated properly. Plus you can see the difference between two pictures even on low res like this, and even w/o histogram. On my monitor the differences are tremendous. Anyway, I do realize you have no idea how to solve this problem based on your first response. So, thank you for you time.

First up, the member that politely replied to your initial post was inquiring if you did exactly this:

 You might want to look at the in camera image (on the camera) and see what in camera settings were in effect.

 

More on that at:

 

 

Hopefully the other member has a better idea about how that /preferences/Presets/ setting effects your work, and might reply despite your rudeness.

 

And please read:

 

 

 

 

 

 


Right. Hello, is this IT customer support? Yes, how may we help? My PC doesn't work. Did you plug it in? Yes. Do you have electricity? Yes. Did you press the start button? 

You reminded me old days in college, when in college we spend a full 45 min class to learn how to add Favorites in Internet Explorer. And that was around 15 y ago, so no one actually was using IE. 

Anyway, if you are interested in a solution more than switching your photography career into a lawyer, here it is. 

LR does apply preset automatically all the time, it doesn't make a tremendous difference if you are using cheap gear, or if you don't care. It happened to me.  As I mentioned, you would have to do it in preferences and everything would work. Now, you would have to do it in the import window. So, developing settings "None" doesn't work anymore, not sure if this a bug. You would have to select the camera settings to avoid unwanted changes in your colors even if they might look not important to some of us. CS are still doing some changes, but it's very close to what been shooted.

And one more thing, if I call someone an idiot with a smile on my face, am I being nice? 

So as to the lawyer, there are many ways to say things differently. "Hello, I would be glad to help you. But I would need the screenshot of your Preferences settings. And by the way, I see you are posting for the first time, here is the rules of how you should do it." That is being polite, that would show him or anyone else that actually did the settings, that would not offend me in the first place, and would not cause a "Rudnes" reaction. The reaction was the same as the answer. I do not attack the people that are trying to help, but I will defend myself. 

Thank you
