Wrong colors in imported or edited pictures

Hello,

I have Leica Q camera and I started to use Lightroom recently. When I view pictures on Windows, they look great, but when I view them in Lightroom colors are off. There is pink tint on every picture. After I adjust white balance lips look very unatural and still too pink. I tried Silkypix and the same picture with adjusted white ballance looks totaly correct with realistic colours.

  I would like to continue using Lightroom, but do not know how to fix the issue.

Thank you for help,

Audrius

I have checked, that I am not using "develop during import". After I have imported the picture at first it looked ok, but after 1 second it changed colours - became more red.

In camera calibration I have just "Embedded" Profile. Could this be some kind of problem indication?


It seems that there aren't any additional camera profiles for the Leica Q.

See Re: Leica Q on Mac OS X and Lightroom CC 2015.1.1

If you'd be willing to share a raw file (DNG), I could take a look at it, and see if I get the same results.

You could pick an image without any personal content, put it on Dropbox, and post the link here.

The reason that the image changes after a second is that LR needs a little time to render the raw file, and will display the embedded jpg briefly.

It would help to see the histogram in Lightroom for this image.

Hello,

Please find picture sample: Dropbox - L1000124.DNG

I have Nikon as well and when I opened RAW file it was fine. You are correct, Lightroom is missing Leica Q camera profiles.

Do you have any ideas how to get those profiles?

Thanks for great help so far


Thank you for your help. I hound out, that Lightroom needed to be updated manually. After the update "Adobe Standard" profile appeared and colors are ok now.

Best regards,
