Amber in AUS Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 In a nutshell i have a new Canon 550D it takes lovely pics. When i render the RAW in Lightroom they look awful! (I'm a new LR user) When i render them through Digital Photo Professional (Canon's software) they are better and a closer match to the jpeg, but not exact. What am i doing wrong and how do i fix it? Because at this point it seems far easier to get nice results using jpegs and editing those! LR seems to apply a bunch of settings on import even though there are no presets on import. It sharpens A LOT to the point of skin looking plasticy and unnatural. Colours, especially red are changed too! Some way over saturated and some desaturated. I am committed to trying to work through this because i have some longer term plans for my photography but seriously hitting my head against a brick wall on this one! Anyone have any advice for me?

Bang!Zoom! Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Amber, have you tried the flickr photo groups? Just enter the term Lightroom or your camera model, you'll find other experts to help, it's really quite fun. http://www.flickr.com/ Find the community groups and use the search function there. :) HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
