Autocorrect D300-images to WORSE

[paperboy]

Once I have imported my pictures from my Nikon D3'', and I click on an image, it enlages in library, and the colors in the images autoadjustes to a really bad colour temperature. How do I stop lightroom from autocorrecting this?

I had a Nikon D9' camera, and the images from this camera doesn't autocorrect, which I find is better...

are you taking about RAW or JPEG/TIFF images?

in the case of RAW it's "normal", LR performs a conversion based on ACR
which looks different form the preview that is stored in the file (done by the
Nikon converter). You have to use the Camera Profiles to mimic the D3''
colour rendering

paperboy, welcome to the forums.

Stefano's answer addresses the most common complaint in this area, you can read more about that here: http://www.lightroomqueen.com/community/showthread.php?t=15''

You don't say how much Lr experience you have, so that may be 'old news' to you.

If that's not what's happening, have a look at the menu > Edit > Preferences > Presets tab, and see if you have anything unintended in the Default Develop Settings panel, such as Auto Tone. If it's only color temperature being adjusted, look at the various places that develop presets can be applied (e.g. the import dialog, and see if something's happening there.)

If the white balance is changing, I suspect you've altered Lightroom's defaults for that camera. If you select a D3'' image in Develop and press the Reset button in the lower right, what does the white balance now show? Is it "As Shot" or something else?

If it's not "As Shot", here's how to fix it:
(1) Change the WB to As Shot.
(2) Press and hold the Alt/Option key -- as you hold it, the Reset button will change to "Set Default...". Press it.

If the WB is "As Shot" after pressing Reset, then perhaps a tighter description of the problem will help us help you.
