[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 508277, member: 9240"] First thing, unless you consider the camera profile you're shooting with and make sure you apply it on import to Lightroom you're always going to see a difference between LR and ViewNX2 because by default LR applies the [I]Adobe Standard [/I]profile while ViewNX2 applies the one set in the camera. I only ever change my setting if I need to shoot JPEG, otherwise it's set to Standard and I have Lightroom set up to apply that by default on import, so they [I]should[/I] look the same. The problem with post processing is that if you're getting an inaccurate look at what you just shot you may be tossing photos you shouldn't during your first cut. Otherwise it's simply a starting point and you can likely correct your way back to normal with a simple levels adjustment more times than not. Still, when I hear that Adobe has gone years without correcting known problems in the ACR engine, that's troublesome. If I get bored at my in-laws this weekend I plan on spending some time looking at SOOC shots in all 3 tools (LR, ViewNX2 and FastRawViewer/RawDigger) and see what I can see in terms of differences. Could be interesting. [/QUOTE]
