When i load a NEF into Lightroom it looks fine for a split second, the it changes. Usually looks like someone has turned the brightness up and Blacks down.

How do i get Lightroom to open the NEF as is?

[JaredPolin]

@nerdishcouk Lightroom runs it's on basic corrections to start. what i usually do is just pump the contrast and that gets it back to where it started.

so you edit the white balance at the END of the editing process?

@carolkunai That should be Adobe Premiere.
