Hi,
I'm just starting out on the world of photography and the world of RAW. I've noticed that there's a difference between the way Mac's inbuilt preview app and lightroom (LR) display the RAW images, and I understand this is just the way that the difference programs process the file.
The preview image looks so much more vibrant and has more depth than the LR image and I think it looks great, however no matter how much I tweak the image in LR I can't get it to look as good (granted I'm new to LR too).
So is there a way to get the RAW image in LR to look like the RAW image in preview? Alternatively is there a way to convert the RAW file to keep the appearance of preview? If I save it to a different format (such as uncompressed tiff) via preview it doesn't retain the same look as the RAW file.
Any help appreciated.
P.S. I've got a Sony Alpha A77 with 16-50mm f2.8 and 55-300mm
