destroying the picture ???

[O.Olsson]

I'm new in using lightroom. have a 3' days trial version.
I have imported some files into LR and they looked from the beginning.
Now 5 of the is destroyd when I look on them in LR. I tried to remove them from LR and import them agian - same problem agian but i saw that the have other tagging than it should be but I think that is beacuse that LR remeber the last tagging.
Now I created a new catalog in LR and imported them again (reason for doing this was to give LR a chance todo a fresh download) but the same problem again.
I have tried to open them in LR in devolop mode the samething their. I have
The strange thing is when I look in Canon Zoombrowser they look ok.
Anyone have a clue on what todo.

I have an1DsmkIII, running vista, dell vostro 17'' laptop and the version of LR is 1.3.1

Are you refering to raw files?
If so have a read of this post copied from the Lightroom user to user forum. Hope this helps.

DPP (Canon raw processing software) uses the in camera settings as its starting point to view RAW files, so these files will appear identical to any jpegs produced at the same time. The in camera settings are attached to the RAW file and DPP reads this information when opening or loading a RAW file for the first time.

Lightroom does not have access to this information and so it has its own starting point that it uses when you open a RAW file, thus the RAW file will look different than the JPEG and different to the RAW file opened in DPP (while the JPEG and RAW file in DPP will look the same). Most other RAW programs do not have access to this information (Capture 1, Bibble etc) and they also will have a starting point that is different to DPP. One of the significant advantages of Lightroom over DPP is that you can create your own profiles so you can tailor your "starting point" to suit your preferences and style whereas with DPP you always start where the Canon guy says you should be.

There are a few programs that use the Canon SDK or Canon RAW viewer utility in windows to display images (Breeze Browser comes to mind). Irfranview may be one of these which is why RAW files viewed here may look te same as DPP or the JPEG.

As to which is right. Neither, none or all of them. Right or wrong is purely subjective and based on which you prefer. If you never make any changes to the RAW file you may as well just shoot jpegs and that will be right for you. But then you loose the ability to influence the look of your files proior to the file creation which is why we shoot RAW in the first place.

Hope this helps

Thanks for answering.
Yes it israw files. I only have the raw don't have the jpg thumbnails.
I don't see that the explenation you have find explain this.
I think what they are talking about is more on a collor level. It is quit a bit diiferent in colloer between Canon convert and the PS raw converter I remember. If I remember it right you also have more details in canons.

What I'm after if it is possible to reread the raw files into the LR. And it is little scairy if this is something that LR have done I had an TIFF files that was made from it and it also had the samo artifact and for it means that iti is something wrong with the LR and information it is reading.

Are there .XMP files in the directory with the RAWs?

If so, they may be 'remembering' previous changes.
If that is the case, try 'hiding' the XMP's by moving, renaming or deleting.

The other thing to do: in Develop click the Reset button at the bottom of the develop settings panel. That will reset all develop settings for that photo.
