HELP!!! Lightroom automatically adjusting color in my photos and I can't  change it.

Background: I am evaluating lightroom. I have zero tolerance for automatic adjustments that I can't control, since I strive for absolute consistency across all my photos. That means a manual setting of exposure and white balance on my camera, and I need to have manual control over post-processing.
Problem: When I import a photo into lightroom, it applies some color adjustments that throw off the color pretty badly. For example, when I first import the photo into lightroom, I see this (brown horse, red dirt):
Just a few seconds later it turns into this, and I am powerless to change it (yellow horse, yellow dirt):
Is there any way I can change this?

First you see the thumbnail inside the RAW, which is produced by the camera. Second LR applies it's own raw conversion over it. If you use the raw converted provided with the camera you will get picture nro one result.
(brown horse, red dirt) VS (yellow horse, yellow dirt) is excatly what I am trying to explain in this thread.

The difference is between the camera's own conversion VS LR conversion. And in MY opinion there is not much you can do about this. And in my opinion there is nothing you should do about this, because raw converter should produce tonally accurate results straight from the box. That's what you have paid for. All the other adjustments are there to adjust the default tonally accurate and tonally rich photo to your preferences, not to adjust the 0 tones in orange-yellow image to closer to the scene you just photographed.
Just look this fireplace photo i took to show what i mean (ACR=LR in the markings, dpp = canon digital photo professional and DXO is converter of DXO labs):

Focus on the transition from orange to yellow. In LR conversions the tones go from orange to light pinkish tone. In dpp and dxo conversions the orange turns to yellow.

  • I just downloaded 950 photos on iPhoto and deleted them off my camera and now under last import there is only 4 photos and i can't find the others?? There is a whole bunch of blank events in the library with no photos in them all with todays date? Help!!

    Yes - you need a min of 10 GB just to operate - with just 1 you certainly can lose photos and other critical things - you need to make space immediately - probably by moving your iPhoto library to a volume formatted Mac OS extended -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • My Macbook Pro 2014 ran out of battery while mid-slideshow. Now the slideshow won't skip through photos and I can't figure out why? Macbook Pro 2014 13-inch Intel i5 8GB RAM 128GB flash, iPhoto library is on external HDD

    Macbook Pro 2014
    13-inch
    Intel i5
    8GB RAM
    128GB flash SSD,
    Integrated Graphics
    iPhoto library is on external HDD
    I was in a slideshow, with around 1,911 photos in it. About halfway through, my Macbook ran out of battery. Now when I restarted and charged the Macbook and reopened iPhoto, the slideshow won't advance through photos, and I can't figure out any reason why it would do this.
    I thought it may be corrupted, so I deleted and reinstalled iPhoto library, iPhoto itself, and disconnected and reconnected my external HDD.
    This didn't work, the photos still won't advance.
    I don't know any reason why this would be happening, and there is ample space on my internal drive.
    I'm happy to provide more information if needed!
    Many Thanks,
    James

    Make a few tests, James, to narrow down the problem and find out, if the slideshow is corrupted, your iPhoto Library, or settings in your account.
    To test, if only your slideshow has a problem, create a new slideshow, just for testing. Just use "File > New Slideshow" and add a few photos. Does this slideshow play correctly?
    If the test slideshow does not play either, create a new iPhoto Library. Use the File menu in iPhoto: File > Switch to library > Create New. Import a few photos and create a slideshow.  Does it play?
    If even a new library does not solve the problem, test in a different user account (see this document:  Isolating an issue by using another user account - Apple Support):   
    This process involves creating a new user account, logging in to it, and testing for the issue.
    Create a new standard or admin user account in Users & Groups preferences.
    Use these instructions for OS X Mavericks.
    See these instructions for OS X Mountain Lion.
    See this video, or these instructions for OS X Lion.
    Optional: If you have any specific files you wish to test with, copy (don't move) those items to the /Users/Shared folder in the Finder.
    Log out of your current user account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
    Log in with the new account you created.
    Attempt to reproduce the issue you were seeing in your regular user account.
    After you have completed testing, log out of the test account by choosing Log Out from the Apple () menu.
    Log in as your regular account.
    After you have completed all testing with the test user account, you may want to delete it. You can delete an account in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
    Note: Prior to deleting a test account, make sure you are completely done with it. If you have files in the Guest User you wish to keep, you should copy them to the /Users/Shared folder .
    If you should find, that slideshows only play in a new user account, post back.

  • Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything

    Since I installed OSX Lion on my MacBook Pro, sometimes after login, the colored wheel keeps turning and I can't do anything. When I click on some icon or in the menu, no happens.
    After a long time (more than 1 hour), I decide to switch off my Mac holding the button down and when I boot and log in again, it works normally.
    Remark: When I logoff, I do not ask to keep my open programs for the next session.

  • On my new iPad 4, all of a sudden the mail screen went to a vertical format and I can't change it back to horizontal.  Help!

    The mail screen on my iPad 4 all of a sudden went from the normal horizontal format to a vertical format, and I can't change it back.  Help!

    You should really start a new discussion because many times people will not even look at a solved post. It's one thing if you read the post and the solution works for you, but to add onto a solved post, especially when you have a different problem than the original person that posted, you might not get the help that you need.
    I will give it a try. Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Beginner help with splash of color in a black and white photo

    Hi there.  I just perchased the Photoshop Elements 7.  I have a picture of my niece who has beautiful blue eyes and I want to make it black and white and them leave her eyes there beautiful blue??  Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to do this?  I have search all over and the answers I can across where way to complex for my new beginner knowledge. Also I have another photo of the same niece with  her prom dress on that I would like to leave her eye color alone and dress, but the rest in black and white.   I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.  I am so lost with this program at the moment.  Thank you so much!!

    There are several ways to do it. One way which is really flexible is to add a Hue/Saturation layer over your image. Reduce the Saturation in this dialog to -100 to remove all of the color. Grab your paint brush and set the color to black. With the Hue/Saturation layer selected, paint over the eyes to reveal the color of her eyes.
    A couple of tricks to go with this.
    You can blur the mask to soften/feather the edges after you paint if needed.
    If you need to firm up the edges, use levels on the mask...ctrl L.
    If you want to mix your own black and white effect, you can use the drop down box in the Hue/Saturation dialog box to reduce each individual color channel's Saturation to -100 (instead of the master which effects the overall); then tune your effect by adjusting the individual color's lightness values. You can also adjust Hue values if desired.
