Lightroom have preset settings for RAW files, so it will adjust the brightness, contrast, etc when you import the RAW files and loaded the presets.

There is also Lens correction which you can apply.

so tonight try find LR to try out, tomorrow try shoot same subject again

how to disable the auto adjust feature in LR? ... sometimes the pic on the camera just needs a little tweaking.

sorry, just started trying to shoot RAW .. hehe. used to shoot jpg all these while.

so you are saying you are encourage to shoot in normal and PP the raw file to vivid?

It doesn't matter what picture control you shoot, because when you import to LR you basically define what settings you want.

Disable import presets so that no presets will be applied for future imports.

Changes made to your pictures are shown in the develop module. You should be able to reset them by undoing a few settings (white balance, brightness, contrast). Then you can just apply the settings to all pictures.

Probably there's a better way to do this. But this is what i can think of for now. Not infront of my home comp with lightroom :\

Let just say this, there is a reason why most of the pro are using RAW files and not JPEG. People would say "Get the white balance right and you don't have to worry about PP-ing later" Well TBH, most of the pro still PP even though the color is just perfect because that "lil bit tweaking" can be give abit "omph" to the image.

Ask anyone who have a real certificate and have been on alot of job can say that RAW files are important

thanks

one more things to ask . if take camera to service/ repair...need take warranty card / shop recipt or not? for my case it is >4 years camera....
oh wait i dun even have that 2 things but then they allow me to repair or not ?

I think you can set it in the settings, I never bother to disable it though.

When you shoot in raw and view in camera, what you see is the preview with settings applied, like what you would see when you shoot in jpeg. If you camera have in-camera raw processing, you can process it with different settings, even adjust the exposure, wb, etc. to ouput to the jpg output you desired.

I think you can change the default preeet for the raw file as well, so it will always use the preset when you import it.

Keyword= $$$$

Most important, $$$

so the LR is so advance until few clicks to do the PP?
i thought need smudge this, brush that, patch there like that

Should give you the Darth Vader title.

WB looks good.

Big space? 1TB and 2TB drives are cheap nowadays.

I take it you shoot under the same lighting condition for your products? If that's the case, whatever you tweak and change on the WB can be saved and re-used again to apply corrected WB on the other files if you're shooting RAW.

Strange thing is he says his WB changes. As far as I know, the WB does not change unless you tell LR to change the WB.

Vivid is usually not good for skin tones. But of course if you use LR to PP, it'll ignore the in-camera settings and your NEF files will look normal without any settings applied.


Getting WB right in the camera is important not just because you need less PPing. It has got to do with noise. Wrong WB will give more noise after WB correction.

Sure they do since it's a Nikon camera. So long as you pay of course. No need receipt because the product itself is out of warranty.

okay, wait march salary come first now got 1k only...scare over budget... save until 1.8k~2k for repair first....
oh wait , nikon product usually warrantly how many years? i know mine is over...jsut wan to know haha.

1k should be more than enough.

Perhaps what you can do is ask for them to access the damage and come back to you with a quote. If acceptable, proceed. If not, just keep the camera.

If your repair is close to 2k, might as well junk your camera and get a new one. Not worth it.

better be save
you are actually studying or working?
studying in cyberjaya?
missed that day we climb up the putrajaya bridge and talk ghost stories at top there, sit on the "metal fence"-like stair case on top with strong winds...

we?? I think that must be a wrong person.
I am currently studying and working.
or you can follow the advice of jchue

Not sure how he define the WB changed, unless he specifically compare the WB settings, if by looking at the picture alone in camera, then there can be many factors, such as the monitor, then the contrast applied on the picture when loaded in LR with preets, etc.

To know the actual WB changed or not, will need to check the data of the image.
