Changing my image on import without me telling it to
I've been using Capture One 21 (CO) for a while now but all of a sudden today, when I imported some images, CO changed my images as if applying an edit. I know that CO has this feature but I don't use it. I shoot very flat so that I have have free range to make the images my own in post but CO is applying these edits and messing up my flow. The worst part is, I don't know where the edits are happening. All the editing editing widget tools are set to 0. I'm just not sure what's happening. Someone please help me out. The changes are barely salvagable.

What camera are the images from? Where are the images being imported from? Are they from a memory card or are you tethering? When you say that you shoot flat, what do you mean? (I know what flat means, but how are you "shooting flat"?) What is the curve set to in the Base Characteristics tool?

Camera: Canon R6
Imported From: Memory card
Flat: little to know contrast, lower saturation (set in the camera). When I take the picture, the images look as if they have a grey overlay.

But will picture controls set in the camera translate into the raw file? Or does that only affect JPGs? I'd expect the raw file delivered to Capture One to be just what the sensor saw, not what you have applied to it in camera. What options are available under the ICC profile setting here? Does it show profiles matching what you can set in camera? (I use Nikons, so I don't know what can be done with Canons in Capture One.)

Ah, ok. This is good to know. So how can I get C1 to read the RAW files in a way that looks more like the jpeg rendering of the camera?
