LightRoom Mac Random Profile applied to RAW Imports - cannot change

Report · Jan 15, 2023

Hey all,

Halfway through an import, LightRoom started adding a 'profile' to my RAW photos. (warmer, more contrasted)

You can see this on the left, compared to the usual RAW, flat image on the right in Preview. They are also editing as though they are JPEGS when they are RAW images.

I've changed the import settings on Preferences from Adobe Standard to Camera RAW. Deleted images and re-imported. Closed and re-opened LR as well as deleting cache files and re-starting my computer. No change.

I've just opened Photoshop and its doing it on there in spite of changing the import settings. Strangely it's now flicking to this 'profile' on the Preview also, but only if I drag the Preview to a larger size than the size it opens on.

Please help,

Cheers Charlotte

What does "editing as though they are Jpegs" mean?

Can you post a few additional screenshots:

The Preferences>Import tab so we can see how the defaults are currently set.

The Edit panel when one of the images is selected

And the Info tab for the same image.
