Hello, I am hoping someone can help me with some interesting behavior with LR profiles. I have a folder full of raw images (ARW from Sony).
In order to make black and white versions of each, I make a virtual copy of every image, and then with all the virtual files selected, I change the profile from Adobe Color to Adobe Monochrome. I like to use this as a starting point.
However, once in a while one of the images is a psd file because I chose "edit in Photoshop", edited part of the image, saved, and then it saved a copy in my same LR folder.
When I have one of those psd files in my folder, the resulting black and white virtual copy I get is different from the ones that were not edited in PS. I actually like it a lot better. It is softer and always seems to be closer to what I am aiming for.
I don't want to have to bring every single image into PS just to have this result. Can anyone tell me why the results would be different when I change the profile like this?
Thank you!
