Applying camera settings/adjustments to RAW images

Jan 12, 2012 12:14 PM

Hi all,

 

I have recently purchased a new camera (Canon 600D) and am shooting in RAW+jpg.

 

I make many on-camera adjustments (exposure, creative effects etc) which apply to the JPG fine.  Is there a way to apply these to the RAW image also (within LR) without manually changing all the settings using the 'develop' module?  For example, can I right-click on a RAW image and select 'Apply camera settings' or something along those lines?

 

On a side note, is there a way to ask lightroom to simply use the JPG version rather than the RAW version (on an individual photo basis)?  Lightroom as I currently have it set up uses teh JPG only as a preview.

 

Not sure if it is relevent but I am using the latest Lightroom 3.x on Vista.

 

Any help appreciated,

Peter

    No...camera settings other than white balance and ISO are not used by Lightroom. You can use the JPEG as a guide for making your adjustments and if you are constantly making the same adjustments, create a preset to apply to the images.

    There's a preference to use JPEGs imported along side raws as separate images.

    @Lee Jay - any idea if this can be done on a per-image basis?  e.g. for a single image, use the JPG version instead of the RAW?

    It's all or nothing. The JPEGs that you don't want to use can be deleted, but on import you get two of each image.

     

    Note that the preference only takes effect for images imported after you set it. To get the JPEGs in that you missed, you can synchronize the folders in question.
