Whatever setting the camera is set to take your jpg in (ie, "portrait"), canon calls them "picture styles", you should be able to add this setting directly to your raw image in lightoom from the camera calibration tab and get identical results. I recall you did this midway through your processing but I'd be willing to bet that the reason it didn't match exactly at the point is because you'd already made several adjustments. Perhaps if you started fresh with the file and applied the portrait setting first I'll bet the resulting edited raw image would match your jpg identically. That's the first thing I do with my raw files and then tweak from there.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01486862150768776706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522202229744410562.post-37945379286708846822011-03-27T22:36:01.101-07:002011-03-27T22:36:01.101-07:00I always find my jpegs look better than my raw fil...I always find my jpegs look better than my raw files.

I noticed that sometimes, even with the same camera settings applied in Lightroom, there is still a difference.Ondrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6522202229744410562.post-46963558878493571982011-03-27T07:06:18.542-07:002011-03-27T07:06:18.542-07:00Yes when I first started shooting in raw I noticed...Yes when I first started shooting in raw I noticed that they didn't look as good as when I shot Jpeg but I also didn't really understand raw back in those days.<br /><br />I didn't really realise that the in camera settings such as sharpening, camera profile, colour space, brightnes and saturation didn't have any influence on the raw image. I have never tried matching the settings in Lightroom to those in my camera to see how close they would be, maybe that would be a good experiment to try.Russnoreply@blogger.com
