    Hey Everyone, 

    If you are noticing a difference in color/saturation/sharpness for a preview of your raw file in ON1 Browse compared to  viewing the same file in Develop or Effects, your browse preview mode is likely set to "Fast" instead of "Accurate". We recommend settings your Browse Preview mode to "Accurate" to eliminate any color shift in the full sized preview when opening a raw file from Browse to Effects/Develop. Please note, when you are viewing RAW images within the Browse module, the image that you are seeing in the preview window is the embedded JPEG file that is created by your camera at the time of capture (if the Browse preview mode is set to Fast). Every camera manufacturer creates an embedded JPEG with every RAW file. The embedded JPEG is there to make it much faster to view the image on your computer when you are browsing a folder of RAW files rather than having to wait for the full sized preview to generate. This embedded JPEG has applied some color correction, lens correction and noise reduction etc. to create the embedded JPEG. This image may be different in color or exposure than the actually unprocessed RAW file. This is normal behavior as the unprocessed RAW file is meant to be edited in post before arriving on your final version. You will have much more control over the colors, highlights and shadows when working with a RAW file in your post processing. Depending on how the image was shot and what you are shooting, there may be a dramatic or slight difference between the embedded JPEG and the unprocessed RAW as it was captured by your camera’s sensor.

    Remember, if you change the Browse preview mode from "Fast" to "Accurate", the preview that you are seeing in Browse will be generated from the unprocessed raw file. Changing the Browse preview mode to "Accurate" will make sure that the preview you are seeing in Browse matches the on screen preview when you open the image in Develop/Effects.

    There should not be any adjustments automatically applied to your photo unless you apply a preset to them yourself.

    To verify that there is nothing applied to your raw image, you can go up to the menu bar (in Browse or Develop or Effects) and click on the Settings -> Reset All Settings. That will remove everything done to the photo as far as editing goes.

    However, there is a camera profile that will be applied, even when all else is cleared. In Develop, look at the very first item in Tone & Color, called Camera Profiles. You get a camera profile applied, even if nothing else is done. The default is ON1 Standard and it might be causing what you are seeing. You can select something else and see if things look better.  You can change that profile to something else in the drop down list of profiles and then save that as a new Preset that can then be applied in Browse if necessary when you bring in new Raw photos.

    I have attached to screenprint to illustrate the problem. In the browser the photos is very dark, and when you open one in develop it automatic get very bright ??  No presets has been chosen, nothing happens when I push the "Reset All" button. I can not find the Camera Profiles as mentioned above. It appears during loading of the raw image, but disappears again when the image is loaded, and the color/brightness has change ??

    Jesper, I'm trying to see in your photo if you're using Fast or Accurate view in Browse but you've got it cut off. In fast mode you're looking at the embedded jpg and in accurate you're looking at the raw file. If you're set to Fast and then go to Develop, there might be a difference there. I don't know if this is the problem, but it's easy for you to check that setting and see if it matters.

    The camera profiles are new in the latest update, 2018.5.3.5757 and I think that the profile only shows up on RAW images, but not on all camera RAW images.

    In the second photo, the bright image in the filmstip has a badge on it showing there are adjustments applied.

    I can see this "badge" on the bright image, and the adjustments are made automatic when I'm going from browser to develop, and I can't figure out why it does that, and turn it off, and when you are in the develop mode, you cant reset the image ?? and when I'm going from browser to develop, preset is set to "none" ? I have also opened the raw image in Adobe Photoshop, and shows correctly here, like the dark image. ??

    If I open the jpeg image from browser to develop, then the image shows corect in develop (dark image), so I guess there is some funktion or something else I have to turn off, or renset??

    On the bottom right of Browse, Develop and Effects is a button called Reset All. That will reset everything applied to the selected image.

    My guess is that at some point you accidentally applied some adjustment to that image and now every time you look at it you see those adjustments (they're saved automatically). I think if you just reset it, the whole problem will go away.

    I had a similar, but perhaps opposite, problem. When I develop a raw file everything looks normal and it will export fine but when returning to Browse, if you are in filmstrip or full view mode, the photo turns very bright. I found the problem was apparently the latest version changed the default viewing mode from Accurate to Fast. If I set it to Accurate then everything works.

    Jim,

    The fast method seems to only refresh itself to me more accurate at random times. I found that if I go into and back out of Develop or Effects, the fast image for that particular photo will get updated to a more accurate version. I think that sometimes if I zoom in with the magnifier in Browse and back out, sometimes it updates to a more accurate version as well. I would prefer to stay in fast viewing, but I often cannot take it anymore and switch to accurate. Lol.
