Originally posted by Bulldogface I was hoping I'll be able to find equivalent of LR profiles/presets, which could more or less truly reflect image I see on lcd on the camera. I can imagine it sounds rather pathetic, esp. since I am shooting RAW, but sometimes what I see on the display is exactly what I like...but than I have to spend 20 mins on cpu trying to recreate look in PP
. Even direct conversion in camera aint doing so good job.
I do not have a preset for you, but you can develop one yourself easily. Set up the kind of shot you want to mimic, with the camera on a tripod. Take exposures and download them without moving the camera. Open them in LR. Now adjust the RAWs to look like what you still can see on your camera lcd. Voila.
Of course, this must be done when lighting is not changing quickly. An indoor, artificially lit scene would be easiest, if that would give you a usable image.

Since we shoot under various lighting conditions, we will need different color temperature adjustments. AUTO gives us LR's best guess at neutral balance. Sometimes, that is what we want, or a slightly warmer or color rendition to fit our tastes. But sometimes we want unbalanced color. A sunset with the warmth corrected out of it would not look like a sunset. And then we must consider mixed light source, even if that is just sunlight and shadow. Do we want an average of them? Do we want to correct for one light source?
Sometimes AUTO color balance is tricked, so we need to adjust for that. There is no quick fix for all lighting situations and all tastes, even when they are the tastes of one person.
