[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 215410, member: 9240"] Just noticed that your Picture Control is set to "Neutral". If you're shooting jpeg then this has a huge effect on how your images come out. The Neutral setting has the lowest levels of contrast and saturation. In other words it's meant to be flat and, well, a little washed out. I don't shoot in JPEG, but Lightroom does a great job of mirroring the camera profiles on RAW files. I went back into my library and found an unedited shot from my D7000, went into the Develop module in Lightroom and simply applied three different Camera Profiles without changing anything else. [B]Camera Neutral [/B][ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]58416._xfImport[/ATTACH][B] Camera Standard [/B][ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]58417._xfImport[/ATTACH][B] Camera Vivid [/B][ATTACH type="full" width="60%"]58418._xfImport[/ATTACH] I suspect the Picture Control, along with the metering you get in those lighting conditions, is what you're seeing. If you're not shooting RAW then pay careful attention to what that setting is, as well as the Active D-Lighting as it can have a huge impact on what you get. [/QUOTE]
