I use rawshooter essentials to convert my files from raw. When I first click on a thumbnail, it shows the big photo in nice crisp, saturated color. After a few seconds, it adjusts the image to a duller version. Does anyone know why? (or even know what I'm talking about?) I assume it's applying some preset adjustments or something, but I don't have a clue what, or how to fix it.

I use RAW Shooter Premium and I'm still not sure what you mean. When you load files for the first time RSE will build a copy to view from the data. Normally each time you click on it it will apply either that base data or whatever changes you have told it to make. Their are two little gears in the upper right of the large photo area to let you know that is what it is doing.

Is this what you mean?

The initial display is the imbedded JPG. The "dull" version, is based on the default processing parms. RSP has some options to change the defaults but not sure about RSE.

Maybe this is it:

Under the menu there is a liting for Preferences, under it there is a check box to "replace proxy rendering with high resolution preview", make sure it is clicked on. It may not be if your computer is slow.

I used RSP for a long time before switching to Lightroom. RSP, RSE and Lightroom all work the same way. You are correct, the initial display is from the embedded jpeg. The duller image comes from RSP's (or RSE's or LR's) interpretation of the raw data.

If you want the image to look better, then you need to apply custom changes. You can save those changes in RSP and RSE (sorry, it's been too long, I've already forgotten how). In LR you save them as a "preset". Same idea, just done a little different.

When you import the files, you can have RSP, RSE or LR apply this "preset" so that the default look more closely matches how you want the image to look. That's what I do. I have a preset that bumps up the contrast and saturation to the level I like to see (and in LR I even add a vignette).
