Problem: How to stop color profiles automatically applied to imported images?

Hi,

I've been using LR for the last 10+ years at a professional level; but I admit I never got the hang of the color profiles thingy. Whenever I import my images to LR, it applies its color profiles automatically to my images and I lose that flat "as shot" experience. I've tried using Adobe Neutral for a while, or Camera Settings, but for some reason I really don't think they give me the results LR 5 gives. Though, I'm fully ok using an older version, I don't want this to be the main reason keeping me back from using newer versions. I'd appreciate the help : )

Thanks!

The application of a color profile as you describe it is actually part of the demosiacing process, and is unavoidable. That being said, the default profile used by Lr5 was Adobe Standard whereas Lr7 onwards uses Adobe Color. However, you can configure Lr7 onwards to apply Adobe Standard if desired. If you need in changing the default profile, then please confirm which version of Lightroom you're using.

You may wish to look into making your own custom DCP camera profiles, pretty simple and effective.

      If you set the default for your camera to Adobe Standard, you should get basically the same rendering as is default in LR 5. I would recommend using Camera Settings as your default and setting your camera to a Neutral profile when shooting. Using "Camera Settings" the rendering you get out of Lightroom by default should be very close to the in-camera jpeg and be as close to as-shot as possible. This is not possible to do in LR 5.
