Doug,
Let me see if I understand the LR processing. Once I set the camera to your settings, the jpeg thumbnail for the lcd will be very close to the RAW. Then if I back out the settings in LR then I will be in synch. In other words:
raw capture = what I see on the LCD = what I see when I import into LR.
Without doing that, the camera underexposes a bit in RAW, the jpeg setting on the camera shows a well exposed jpeg and LR makes those same changes on import, so it looks like everything is honky dory but you aren't getting all you can out of the file?
So: this shot was done without making your in camera settings but I did the LR changes below:
View attachment 16590
View attachment 16589
So, if I had made the suggested adjustments in the camera and got the proper histogram exposure, I would have a much better exposure than what I show above?
If all of that is true, I should take these settings and make a preset that I use on import? Do you make any changes to the default sharpening in LR?
Finally, I understand your spot metering setting but do you ever use the center weighted or matrix metering?
Sorry that was a mouthful!
