Hi, I shoot almost exclusively in RAW. When opening a file in LR- 5 I get a momentary glimpse of the image in what I am assuming is the JPEG version showing while the RAW image is rendering, this"JPEG" image will be higher in contrast and more vivid in colour than the actual displayed "RAW" image that follows.
My question is , how do I get my displayed RAW image to initially import looking like the momentary JPEG image displayed prior to doing my processing of the RAW file?

Thanks

You will need to apply on import the Adobe version of the preset that your camera is applying to the JPEG.

Just check your camera JPEG settings for the type e.g. Vivid, Camera Neutral etc. then in LR go to calibration settings and find the one with the same name. You should see the image change to close to what you are seeing in the momentary glimpse.

Should this be really what you want then you will need to specify the parameters for import
