Contrast in Lightroom

Ciao,

Need your help again..

When I open RAW files with Lightroom it brings so much contrast and saturation that I have to desaturate and decrease contrast and blacks at almost every picture! Can I adjust that in the application settings? I’d like the program to open files less saturated and contrasted, that’s all. Tried to do that in my cameras settings – surprisingly, it brought no change to Lightroom..

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks!
Take care

Probably just create a preset and then apply it to all images in the “previous import” folder after each import. That’s what I do anyhow…

Миша привет. Я с этой проблемой не сталкивался, мне эта прога вобще после фотошопа не нравится, там много проблем похуже. Хочу тебе лично пару вопросов задать, скинь мне свой мэил или скайп, а то ты из агентства пропал, и тебя не найти никак.

lightroom ignores camera settings for raw,

when you import into lightroom there is a little setting like “import as” or similar and just set it to something you like (a preset you have created). i used to use “zero’d”, dont use lightroom anymore.

photo mechanic reads raw data correctly and previews are as shot in camera, makes me happier as i shoot in b/w in camera (in raw) so never get distracted by the colours.

Ok, thanks for advise. Will try the mechanic soon.
