Unwanted Automatic Adjustments Moving From Organizer to Lab

[Johnnnny99]

I am using a Nikon D7000 and shooting in RAW format. Recently, I took some time exposures of Niagara Falls at night, to capture the colours and the lighting on the falls.

When I view the files in the media tray, everything looks alright. However, if I select a photograph to look at more closely, , some sort of automatic brightness adjustment is taking place which brightens my foreground and washes out the colour on the main part of my image. This process changes the histogram of the photo. When I move to Express Lab or Full Editor and choose "Smart Photo Fix", and reset various settings to "Original", it doesn't bring the photo back to its original appearance, so clearly there are other settings that have been automatically adjusted as well.

I've looked into the Preferences menus, but can't find anything that will turn off this automatic adjustment process.

Any suggestions that can be offered to eliminate this problem would be greatly appreciated

Welcome to the forums,

I don't work that much with RAW images and don't use PSP when doing so. The only bit of help that I can provide is what other's that do have found and suggested. Simply, Don't use PSP to work with RAW image formats. First try using the software that came with your camera. You can also try some professional programs such as

• Adobe Lightroom
• Capture One
• Bibble
• ACDSee Pro
• DxO.

You may want to install PaintShop Photo Pro X3 Service Pack 4, because the service pack 4 addressed the raw file support for Nikon D7000.

You can visit: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ ... 9872271743, for the list of all Service Pack of PSP X3. Or you can just click on HELP then check for updates, for the program to just download the updates that is not currently installed.
