Essentially this performs brightness & exposure adjustments in-camera to the JPG. When you import the RAW file to Lightroom, you see the embedded JPG for a few seconds before LR builds it's own preview from the actual RAW data, and then you see a drop in brightness. Disable the setting in your camera to see accurate data through the entire chain.Gavin ・ ギャビンhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915050824598615151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-9967850622676529762009-07-27T13:51:42.273-04:002009-07-27T13:51:42.273-04:00There is a thread on this problem over at the Adob...There is a thread on this problem over at the Adobe support forum:<br />http://forums.adobe.com/thread/465198?tstart=90<br /><br />I haven't had a chance to test it yet (my new D5000 has been recalled!) but one user reported that it did the trick.

I have allowed LR to do the catalog optimization a once or twice over the past months, so perhaps that has prevented the issue from arising.

I have a new Nikon D5000 and I just noticed this behaviour this past weekend. It was so obvious that I figured I had screwed up something on 150 shots. They were all outdoor shots, using available light, and they were all 1-2 stops darker than the camera light meter indicated. Strange.

IF you watch carefully you can usually see the same thing (darkening and dull) happen in Bridge once you click on a raw file. All newer cameras have the .jpg embedded in any raw file you shoot. What we seem to be seeing is the raw file in it's real form.R.C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01076127107029484873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-70734897075900592542009-07-13T18:08:22.473-04:002009-07-13T18:08:22.473-04:00I have the same problem with my nikon D70S files,I...I have the same problem with my nikon D70S files,I always wondered why my previews all of sudden turn dark. hope that would be a fix, and thanks David for being concerned, your blog is like my morning coffee can't start the day without it!!!Rabih Khoreichnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-64556386573014472532009-07-13T18:00:44.749-04:002009-07-13T18:00:44.749-04:00The 5DII-problem with Lightroom looks to me being ...The 5DII-problem with Lightroom looks to me being a problem of your camera settings.<br />When Lightroom imports a RAW image, the first preview you get is the JPG which is embedded in your RAW file. This is the same JPG as your camera uses to display. When you give Lightroom a few seconds, it generates a new JPG from the RAW file. And this is a different one than the embedded one.<br />The embedded JPG is created according to your camera settings. Your RAW ofcourse not. So I would suggest that you check your camera settings.<br /><br />To make it visual: create an image in RAW, with setting grayscale in your camera. The display in your camera shows a grayscale. The import in Lightroom shows a grayscale. After a few seconds, it shows a color image.<br /><br />Relaunch & Optimize doesn't change that. But it seems different because you don't see the embedded JPG.Vaans Ruijtenhttp://www.ruijten.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17534827.post-82683273706798003382009-07-13T14:52:56.738-04:002009-07-13T14:52:56.738-04:00I have the same issue with my 5dii. seems every ph...I have the same issue with my 5dii. seems every photo now needs 1-2 stops of exposure added.

I also noticed that the files in lightroom appear to be 1-2 stops underexposed than compared to the LCD on my 5D. I also notice that my LCD appears to render the images with a big bump in contrast (I shoot in neutral picture style and RAW). and sometimes it appears that the WB is different in the LCD than it is when I download. So I don't know if the issue is lightroom or my Mark II LCD. I did not have this issue with my 40D. I have started shooting using the histogram more and that has helped. I don't see anywhere in the manual where I can set the LCD rendering parameters.Jeneanne Ericsson Sonoma County Photographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09267551324536398570noreply@blogger.com
