[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 391577, member: 9240"] What, and save it as a TIFF and import that? Seems a lot of work and twice the space. Here's the thing, if I'm shooting RAW I'm looking at the JPEG preview [I]only[/I] for sharpness and lighting (i.e. no blown out highlights). Only once have I been confused by the differences between my JPEG preview and my RAW files, and that's only because I could watch as the thumbnail changed in LR as it built the previews (on import it displays the JPEG preview) and I had something weird set that impacted the JPEG lighting. I could see this being a concern if you shoot both RAW & JPEG and want them to match, and this is the way I'd do it. I used to worry about this early on, but now I just set it to Camera Standard (which is where I leave my JPEG Profile in camera) and it applies it during import (along with Lens Profile and Chromatic Aberration correction). I don't use the preset method shown here, though it would obviously allow you to create a separate preset for all profiles. Instead, every time I get a new body, after my first import I go in and check the [B]Enable Profile Correction[/B] and [B]Remove [/B][B]Chromatic Aberration[/B] buttons in Lens Correction, and set the Profile to [B]Camera Standard[/B], then I go to the [I]Develop[/I] menu and and choose [I]Set Default Settings[/I] and hit [B]Update To Current Settings[/B]. This way, every time I import photos from that camera it will apply those 3 things during [I]every[/I] import regardless of any other preset chosen. I should note that in my LR Preferences, in the Presets tab I have the box checked to [B][I]Make defaults specific to camera serial number[/I][/B] so that the Profile applies is for [I]that[/I] model camera. If you do your NR in LR you can get really nerdy and work out default NR's for each ISO level and apply those on imports as well if you click the [B][I]Make defaults specific to camera ISO setting[/I][/B] as well.
