Re: Lightroom changes colour in my RAW files captured with NIKON D300

The FAQ article linked in this thread states something like "there is no correct way to render raw". I do not fully agree.

The way on how I like the image is the way at least for me on whats the right way, and how its from the camera is how

I like it and the way Adobe handles it with my images is just not on how I want it.

So, you disagree with "there is no correct way to render raw", and then you state your preference for how the raw should be rendered.

 

I would state a different preference, I do not want the RAW to be rendered exactly as the in-camera rendering of the JPG appears, I want something different.

 

It is entirely possible that Rob Cole and others would state even a different preference for how the RAW should appear than either you or I.

 

And so we are back to the statement "there is no correct way to render raw". What is "correct" for you is not "correct" for other Lightroom users. There is nothing magical or sacred about the appearance of the in-camera or JPG preview of your image, and in fact I state (and have read others state) that you can create a more desirable and more pleasing image by editing the RAW than the in-camera produced JPG.

 

Thus, Lightroom gives you the tools to achieve whatever appearance you want, relatively repeatably and easily. There are the camera profiles, which Rob mentioned; and you can also create presets to be applied to all imported photos from a given camera (or all imported photos in a particular style, for example, architecture photos get a different preset, landscape photos get a different preset, sports action photos get a different preset). Thus, in one example, architecture photos, I have a preset that increases the contrast and vibrance and shadows sliders.

 

As I said, there is nothing sacred about the in-camera or JPG preview appearance of the photo. I believe I can create better photos than the in-camera or JPG preview. Probably you can too once you learn Lightroom's tools.
