It is to mine, so I have it set as an import preset (which also sets sharpening and denoise to zero).
Try that and see if it is more to your taste. There is a pull-down menu under the graph for "Point Curve", one of the options is Linear. If you go to the "Tone Curve" adjustment panel you should see that. It seems to apply a slight contrast curve on import. I don't like what Lightroom does with the files from the M10M - they are too contrasty for me, as they are for you. Configuring the defaults and saving them on a per-camera-body basis allows me to obtain very clean, high quality results much more easily, without having to remember to incorporate an alternative preset for each camera type manually each time. Most notable are the ones for the Olympus E-5 and E-M1: the LR defaults for those two bodies incorporated about 2 to 3 times as much sharpening as the raw files needed, on average, and often made the cameras seem extremely noisy even at modest ISO settings. Note: I have about 12 different custom configurations for LR Classic raw editing defaults, based upon my experience with processing raw files out of many different cameras I've owned in the past 20 years. Seeįor details on configuring LR Classic raw editing defaults. And if you find you consistently want some other tone curve, even one you create yourself, you can set that as a default to use when importing M10-M files. You can go to pre-canned Linear, Medium or Strong Contrast, or any tone curve that you prefer. (I have no access to an M11-M so I don't have any DNG files from it to analyze and see whether Leica stopped putting a default curve into its DNG files.)īut that's why LR Classic incorporates alternative Tone Curve capabilities. The one that shows up as a standard default is the one embedded in the M10-M DNG files.
The image will be updated with the Preset removed.I agree that the M10-M defaults in LR Classic are not always the best for all scene types. If you make a mistake, reselect the Preset from the list and click on it one more time. The image in the Viewer will be updated, if different from the previewed Preset. To apply the effect to the image, click on the Preset in the list.In some cases, it may not be possible to observe the effect or application of the settings without referring to the tool itself. To see the effect on the image in the Viewer, hover the cursor over the Preset in the list.If there are no presets displayed, you may have to click on the disclosure arrow. Alternatively, go to the Styles and Presets tool in the Adjustments tool tab and navigate to the Custom Presets/Built-in Presets folder as appropriate.Go to the Adjustments menu -> Styles -> Custom Presets.A Manage and Apply menu will open and any Built-in or User Styles applicable to the selected tool will be displayed. Select the relevant tool from the tool tab and click on the Manage Preset menu (i.e., three-bar icon) in the title bar at the top of a tool.Select an image to work on in the Viewer and choose one of the following options:.You can usually preview the effect on an image in the viewer before applying a Preset. All Custom Presets created specifically with the tool will be displayed in the tool’s menu (and the Presets Library) and are applied in the same way as the Built-in Presets. Any customization of these Presets can be saved as a User Preset, saving you the effort of repeating the adjustments in the future. You can use these as suggestions or use them as a starting point for further adjustment. Practically every tool that can be used to make image adjustments has a range of Built-in Presets.
