Processing RAW image using Lightroom 3

Hi,
I am shooting RAW with my Nikon D90. One thing that I am not sure is that, when we first import the pictures to a catalog. Once the import is done, I go the library and click on any of those pictures, I first see the picture looks pretty sharp and bright for 1 to 2 second, but then seem like some preset has applied on top of it and the picture looks different. Anybody know if I can disable any default preset that come with lightroom 3?

  • I'm thinking of buying a new camera. Does anyone know if can I process RAW images from a Nikon D5100 or Nikon D3200 using IPhoto on a OSX 10.5.8?

    I think you'll note that Google found the list for 10.8, amazing, isn't it
    No, neither are supported for Raw on 10.5.8
    You'll need 10.6.8 minimum for the D5100

    and for the D3200 you'll need 10.7.4 plus compatibility update 3.1.3

    Bear in  mind that you may also need to update your version of iPhoto too.

  • RAW images in Lightroom 3

    When I import my RAW images into Lightroom 3 (for Mac), they look great until I click on an image to view it.  Then, automatically Lightroom changes the coloring and quality of my image.  It makes it look terrible!  I didn't even click on any presets or sliders.  I want my images to look the way they do when I first import them.  Is there a setting that I need to turn off or change?

    Digital cameras capture images in a raw format.and depending on the camera model you have you have the option to allow the camera to process the raw data and provide a jpeg / Tiff image file you can view on your computer. You may also have the option for your camera to retain the raw data and have this processed by software provided by your camera manufacturer.
    You also have the option to use third party raw processing software to process the raw data, Lightroom / Adobe ACR, are one of these providers. Third party raw processing software use their own proprietory processes and profiles to carry out this process. They are all different to your camera manfacturer processes which are proprietory so what your are seeing is expected, you are being provided with an alternative to what your camera manufacturer provides.
    Have a look at the following article from an independent source.
      http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml
    Lightroom provides you with lots of tools to be creative in generating an alternative rendition of the raw data or also creating your own preset to match the rendition created by your camera.

  • RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    RAW images in Lightroom aren't opening in camera raw in Photoshop.  Instead, I have to open the image in Finder before it will open in Camera Raw in Photoshop.  How can I correct that?

    Your question is a little unclear. In a "normal" Lightroom/Photoshop workflow the raw images do not open from Lightroom into Camera Raw. Lightroom has all of the Camera Raw functionality in the develop module. When you choose to open an image in Photoshop, and Lightroom and Photoshop are synchronized (i.e. referencing the same version of Camera Raw) then Camera Raw is simply used to interpret the Lightroom adjustments as the image is transferred to Photoshop. If Camera Raw is an older version then Lightroom offers you the choice to open the image or create a PSD or TIF file that includes all of the Lightroom adjustments. But in either case, opening in Camera Raw is not part of the workflow. It is possible to open the image as a smart object or convert the image to the smart object in Photoshop and then open it in Camera Raw. That is done from within Photoshop or is one of the open options in Lightroom. If you choose to go the smart object route the image first has to be opened in Photoshop and then from there you can open it in Camera Raw.

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • Quick preview looks better than processed raw image...??

    Hey all, probably a bit of a "newb" question here... so forgive me, and thank you...
    Using a D7000 and often times when I shoot - the preview image on the camera looks BRIGHT, VIVID and ROBUST ... after import however - when reviewing my shots, JUST as I arrow over to the next shot - many of the preview images tend to look better than the processed image that aperture displays once it's done spinning it's wheels.
    Perhaps I've messed up a Raw Fine Tuning setting?
    When I click on quick preview and browse through an import, the pictures truly look nicer to me than the when aperture processes them.
    Without question, the display on my acer monitor is a far cry from the miniature compressed image on the back of my nikon, however the more i shoot, the more I realize a disconnect between what I think I should see, and what I'm ultimately seeing in Aperture.
    Are their specific settings to fine tune the import of raw d7000 shots?
    Thanks much.. gk

    I take it you're shooting and processing RAW images?
    It's worth remembering that if you have a picture style selected (i.e. vivid etc), your camera might be applying extra contrast and saturation etc to the image you see on the back of the camera. Camera manufacturers do this so that we can give our pictures some extra punch and colour automatically.
    I'd also be wary of comparing what you see on your camera to what you see on your monitor. Unless both are calibrated, you shouldn't trust either of them 100%. The best example of monitor calibration is going to look at TV's in an electronics store. You'll probably notice that in a wall of TV's, some pictures will be darker, some lighter, some more vivid, some more saturated. Using a calibration tool adjusts the picture your screen and monitor displays so that it is 'accurate'.
    It's a bit like having a room full of scales and adjusting them so that they all read 1 kilogram when a 1 kilogram weight is placed on each of them. Calibrating monitors will mean that when you display an image on it, it will always look the same rather than getting the some light/some dark problem you saw in the TV store.
    It's a tricky subject to explain (don't worry if it doesn't make sense), but you might like to have look around YouTube for videos on the subject.

  • RAW Images using Adobe RGB

    This appears to not just be an issue with iPhoto but more of the RAW image support in OS X itself.
    All RAW images that are opened in preview have the color profile Adobe RGB attached to them - this goes for all RAW images that I export to JPEGs from iPhoto. While this isn't really a problem if I am to keep/view/print images from my MacBook alone - but the colors of my images get messed up when I export some images for my wife to view on her PC - or when I use the Facebook feature of iPhoto to upload images to my Facebook account. The conversion to sRGB makes them look all washed out.
    Is there some way to have OS X use a different color profile when processing RAW images... so I know that what it will look like after I make adjustments and export them? Like I say - this isn't an iPhoto issue - but a OS X RAW Image issue... so forgive me if this is not the correct forum.
    Cheers!

    Thanks TD,
    I think that applies to JPEGs that are brought into iPhoto as opposed to RAW images that OS X processes.
    I am sure Facebook does process the file somewhat... mostly resizing the image to meet its specs. But as for the color I am sure it is to do with the color profile used. As I a say, the images look the same (washed out) when opened on my wife's PC (or my two PCs for that matter).
    I tested this by exporting a RAW image to JPEG in iPhoto... open it in Preview - the color profile used is Adobe RGB (as this is what OS X RAW Processing is using). I apply (convert) to sRGB and the colors become washed out (just as when uploading to Facebook). So it's apparent that it's a Color Profile issue. I just wanted to know if the OS X RAW processing be set to use another Color Profile.... Adobe RGB looks good... but not so great if the file is to be viewed with or exported to sRGB.
    Cheers!

  • Filter gallery and lighting effects on raw image through lightroom?

  • Can't upload Canon 6D raw images to Lightroom v 4.4

    Hi - hope someone can help. Not very technical but just upgraded my camera to a Canon 6D and tried to upload my raw images to LIghtroom v 4.4.  Keep getting and error message that it does not recognize the files.  Any help would be appreciated

    When you say the files could not "upload" I guess you mean "import". I suspect you are trying to copy them to a particular hard drive/ folder. Make sure that you have full permissions for the drive/folder that you are trying to copy the file to.
    A message that the files could not be read could be that the files could not have been first written to the particular folder.
    If you need further help please give full particulars of you computer and operating system.

    How can I process Raw Images taken with a Nikon D7000 in PSE Extended?

    Hi there
    Unfortunately, CS4 does not support the Nikon D7000. You'll have to download the Adobe DNG converter (links below) to process RAW files from your camera.
    DNG converter 6.3 - Mac
    DNG converter 6.3 - Windows

  • Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to d

    Why does a pop up screen ask me to extract the image using Lightroom Installer, when all I want to do is view it ?

    My local computer shop solved the problem. Apparently when you download cloud it changes a lot of settings.
    So second issue.
    Why do I now get asked to burn to disc rather than saving to my hard drive when I want to export from Lightroom ?

    Before purchasing Elements 12 I need to know whether it will process RAW images from an Olympus OMD-EM1.  Can someone advise or tell me how I can find out?

    Hi,
    This document defines the supported cameras
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    According to that, the OM-D E-M1 is supported by Camera Raw 8.3 which is compatible with Photoshop Elements 12. You should try the trial download first to make sure you are happy with it.
    Once you have downloaded and installed the trial version you will need to go to the help menu and select Updates..
    If you decide to buy it, you can convert the trial version to the full version by supplying the new serial number.
    I would avoid the Mac App version and don't get the upgrade version unless you have an older version.
    Good luck
