Thanks for explaining this – i’m frustrated right now because the pictures i take in RAW are converted automatically by Lightroom and basically wrecked – weird exposures – right before it finishes “loading” i can see the picture i took, all the colors etc – and then it kind of just wrecks everything. Any idea how to get LR to just back off and take the pictures as i originally took them? It doesn’t do this when i’m shooting .jpg…

help?

Great!!! I felt very lost in tweaking different things, one allways influencing the other, etc.
This is a very good starting point. I did some minor adjusting in sharpnes (turned it down a notch) and contrast (did more with the curve, less with the ’simple’ contrast) and I am very happy now. Simply import all PEF, with this preset , and only use a little exposure adjusting to start printing. (so the wife is happy: she can get a quick print when the kids do something funny)

This leads to a humble question: You seem very well versed in what does what in LR, so maybe you could explain to us simple folk a bit more, like the difference between sharpness and clarity, curves and contrast etc.
please…

Thanks again

I know it will be appreciated, at least by me
