semprenavig Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Hallo from Italy Opening a photo (Nikon's RAW NEF) on any 3 different software (AP, Lightroom and Nikon NX Studio) the last two give me a correct exposure and a reliable histogram, AP instead offers me a histogram completely shifted to the left and the photo dark and underexposed. How is it possible?? I have looked at the AP preference settings (1.10.1) and it seems all right, or at least I haven't changed anything recently. Do you think of something? I have a good Imac and macos Mojave, the camera is a Nikon D7200. I attach 3 screenshots describing the situation. Thanks for the attention Roberto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanshab Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 did you check the color gamut you are using? each of lightroom, capture 1, On1 (etc) use their own version of a color gamut and i can tell you that the colors from lightroom when compared to Capture 1 are noticeably different. you should expect a difference. When in RGB mode the colors and lightness are changed together. so you should expect lightness and color to be affected when switching from one tool to another. IF you use LAB gamut color and lightness are separate. A simple method I use when switching from tool to tool is to use the largest color gamut available when in RGB , try Prophoto that may eliminate some changes between tools..

I do not have AP apply Tone Curve or Exposure Bias. I want to control how my images are developed.
