[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 392026, member: 9240"] No need to be a Lightroom wiz, all you need to do is scroll to the very bottom of the Develop module panel to the [I]Camera Calibration[/I] module where you'll see a [B]Profile[/B] drop down. From there you can select the Profile you are/were using in your camera (normally that would be [I]Standard[/I]) and you should come [I]very[/I] close to what you're seeing in your JPEG preview. If you don't ever change that in your camera you can set up Lightroom to apply that automatically when your images are imported. Sure, you can shoot RAW+JPEG and try and match yourself, but that could make you nuts. As stated, RAW gives you the ultimate flexibility, and getting close to that JPEG preview is pretty darn easy, so I say, "Why bother if you don't need the JPEG for anything else?" There's a discussion about it at this thread...
