the screen shot says it all, I don't know how it happened, and I don't know how to fix it, any idea?
It actually appears the same as thumbnail and appear realllllly bad when i double click the image and enlarge it...

Thanks.

The screen shot doesn't say it all for me. I don't understand what the problem is that you're seeing. I can see that NX and Lightroom don't have the same rendering, but that's not at all surprising...

Hi colorblue, welcome to the forum!

It looks to me like Mark's got exactly what you meant - the colour is different once LR renders the proper preview.

The thumbnail you're seeing originally is the jpeg preview that the camera embedded, but the manufacturers don't share their settings of how they got to that, so each raw converter has to make its own rendering. That may change in the future. Brad described it very well in his thread: Why did Lightroom 'ruin' my photo?

You can fix it in as much as you can adjust the sliders until you get a picture you're happy with. That's the beauty of raw - you don't have to accept what the camera would have done - you can do it the way YOU like. And once you find settings that work on a lot of pictures, you can save them as a preset and apply them on import. And watch this space - big hints about v2's colour rendering have been dropped by some of the LR bigwigs.
