Correction/Style applied to imported photos
Hello all
I have noticed the following behavior which occurs during the import of new images to a catalog. From what I understand the import process is carried out in two stages. The first one is the actual importing/copying of the images to the catalog and the second is the creation of previews (I can tell when the second stage begins when I see the icon of CO on the windows task bar being transformed to a green "progress bar", which fills incrementally as the previews are created). When I import new images, after the first stage is complete I can see that the thumbnails that are already being shown in the bottom of the preview area of my work space, change color as if a style is being applied. My problem is that I have not selected any styles/corrections to be applied during import. So I am initially being presented with an image as soon as it is imported and shown as a thumbnail, which automatically changes to a "corrected" image when the next stage begins. Why is this? Does it have to do with the ICC profile embedded in the image or the pre-selected "Curve" being applied (I can see those in the "BASE CHARACTERISTICS" tool). Is there any way to avoid this? Since I have the impression that this process also slows down the import, I would like to be able to control it (I think it considerably delays the import of thousands of images that I want to do). I would prefer to be able to import the image exactly as is from the camera and then apply styles/curves/corrections as I please.
The images are taken with a Canon 7D (The ICC profile selected is CANON 7D-Generic and the Curve is "Film Stanard")
Thanks in advance
George

Before the previews are generated, C1 display the jpeg previews of the raws "as shot" that is processed by the DSLR with its own settings (saturation, contrast,...).

In other words, to add to Emanuel's post, what you see initially is a corrected (that is in-camera) and processed image, and next, after preview generation, a non-corrected preview of a raw image.
You could have a philosophical debate whether or not the standard ICC profile and curve that CO7 applies to your raw data is an adjustment or not. Fact remains that in the image workflow of a raw file CO7 has to apply a profile and a curve anyway (as does any other raw program). You can set another profile/curve combination as default. Some work with the linear curve.
Next, in the import images dialog, Adjustments section, there is a checkbox 'Auto Adjust'. Make sure it is not set.
Last, one auto-correction is applied by default, and that is lens correction. To speed up your import process, switch it off from the Lens Correction tool's context menu (small triangle at right).0 -
Thanks a lot to both of you.
That clears it up 😊
