LR Classic 13.3.1 not honouring RAW defaults on import.

Hi,

I have both a Z6II and OM1. When I set my raw deafults in LRC (under Preferences) I select the 'Global' to be 'Camera Settings'. I quit and restart LRC.

I open LRC, import some photos from either camera, in the 'Apply during Import' | 'Develop settings' - I select 'None' (that is how it's supposed to work, right, if you want to apply the Raw Defaults set in Preferences?)

(These files are already on the local disk but NOT in the LRC catalog - so it's an 'Add')

I click Import. Once the import processes have finished, I check the assigned Profiles on the raws and  = Adobe Color. 

LRC is not seeing my OLY Camera Natural or Nikon 'Standard' or any other picture profiles I might have set within the cameras, such as Monochrome.

These profiles are listed BTW in LRC's Profile Browser.

I tried this; Left the Raw Defaults at Camera Settings / imported from OLY OM1 but selected 'Camera Natural' from the Import dialogue dev settings. The result was awful - massively saturated colour, like Vivid on steroids - in all honesty Adobe Color was much closer to what I have seen in the past from OLY Camera Natural - and certainly a better base to start from...

My main question is why is Adobe LRC not honouring the camera settings in Raw Defaults?

I am using LRC 13.3.1 on Mac OS Sonoma 14.5 / A regularly calibrated (Calibrite ColorChecker Display Pro) Eizo CS2740 that's approx 15 months old in consistent lighting conditions.

Could LRC 'Raw defaults' be looking in a different location for the profiles from the ones visible in the profile browser and not finding them / how do you explain the lurid colours in the OLY Camera Natural profile when manually applied in Import Dev settings?

I saw a post on DPreview where someone had this exact same issue (OLY Camera Natural  = off colours), but their was no resolution to it and that was 2 years ago!

Regards,

DBS.
