Making the move to Lightroom from ViewNX2 and feeling the pain...
Hi all! As the thread title implies, I've just switched to Lightroom 3 from ViewNX2 and I am having some issues. Pictures speak louder than words, so I'll just show you guys and gals what I'm working with right up front.
ViewNX2 export after adjustments:
In contrast, Lightroom 3 export after Develop (this is as close as I can seem to get to ViewNX2's copy
I hope we can all agree that the ViewNX2 export looks much much better, and much less washed out. Also, there is a distinct lack of green tone in the Lightroom export. In addition, most of my imports come in on the purple side, which is very very annoying
So what exactly am I doing wrong here? I've tried playing with just about every hue and saturation slider in Lightroom without getting anywhere close to the ViewNX result. Dropping exposure doesn't help the washout either. I have added all of my system details in my profile, and I've already tried resetting my monitor profile to sRGB with no dice.
Thanks for any ideas you may have
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I'm shooting with a Nikon D5000 and Nikkor 18-55m VRII lens.
