I was shooting a bunch of family portraits in the garage studio this weekend in RAW on the D800. I use ACDSee Pro 8 to preview, import, and rate the pictures. The previews of these portraits looked terrific to me and the family as if no post processing was needed, but when I opened the RAW files in ACDSee's Develop/Edit modules or in Adobe Camera Raw, the pic went back to looking very flat and uninteresting. So I had to do a bunch of post processing in ACR to get back to that great look in the previews.
From what I have learned so far, ACDSee uses the embedded JPEG profile for previews because it is faster.
If I did not shoot RAW+JPEG (which I will now do in the future), is there any way in PS or Capture NX (which I have never used) or any other program to get that embedded JPEG profile so I don't have to do any extra work in ACR?
