Hi people.
I've been facin a problem recently. At least I realised this only a few days ago.
I work with RSPremium almost sinse the day it was released. And I am very pleased with it, generally speaking. It as speeded my workflow a lot in wedding photography.
But recently I've encontered a issue that I didn't realize before. When I went to an old folder of raws of a previous job the RSP took a bit of time to do the previews. On the screen when I clicked in an image that didn't had the preview image done yet the photo looked very nice. Then it took about 2 sec to do the preview image and then it looked vompletly different. With the colors somehow different, with lack of contrast, poor colors, desaturated. I tryd this with several images and the same thing was happening.
I found this very strange (allthough I've notived that the .jpeg images after conveted from raw and openned in photoshop or windows explorer looked better that the preeview of the raw) and I opened a few of this images in Nikon Capture ver. 4.1 and I was amazed! The image was cristal lear with the colors and sharpness of the image I saw in RSPremium while it was doing the preview.
I have no explanation for this besides any color profile mixed up or a other calibration/definition inherent to Raw Shooter. I don't have the color profile or Color management tool (I don0t know the name) from Pixmantec that is supposed to work with RSP. Is this the reason?
Did anybody encontered a simmilar problem? Any suggestions?
Tomorrow I'll post some examples from the images here.

just a bump because I think this is important.

I think this is normal (as far as RSP is concerned). The initial image that you see is just the embedded thumbnail inside the raw file. When the colors go "bland" that is at the point where RSP has read in the raw file and applied "default parameters" to the file.
The original thumbnail was generated using in-camera settings which the raw file is stripped of. So to get the raw file back to looking like the thumbnail, you need to apply similar contrast, saturation, white balance and sharpening settings.
I'm a Canon user and don't know this for sure, but I'm guessing that Nikon Capture is customized to be able to read the original in-camera settings and apply them to your raw image. So that's why Nikon Capture's initial raw processing more closely matches the thumbnail.
I have a couple of presets in RSP that I use that get me pretty close to the in-camera settings. I usually select all of the images and apply the preset and then customize from there. It's all pretty quick.

Here is another thread on the same issue (sans the Nikon Capture info).
