Thanks, JR.

I bring my file into Lightroom, adjust WB and export to Photoshop. In PS I first run Topaz DeNoise AI. I don't always keep the DeNoise edit but I try it on every image. Then to ACR and click the Auto button and see what happens. If I like it, even somewhat, I use that as a starting point and start moving sliders from there. Starting from scratch on a RAW photo seems like a lot of extra work to me if ACR gives me a good starting place. JMHO

It's funny you say that, because I had never actually tried the "auto" button in either LR or ACR until a couple of weeks ago. I had an image I liked, but simply couldn't get the tones correct. And until they were correct, it just didn't look right. Finally in desperation, I hit the auto button. I couldn't believe my eyes! What I'd been working on for two weeks, auto did in 2 seconds!!!!! It was like it read my mind. I know that won't always be the case, but it certainly saved that image for me.

I try shooting RAW+JPEG every so often and then always go back to JPEG only for the same reason. I can never process a RAW file and make it look as good or better than the camera produced JPEG.

That's where I started out. Then I found that there really is a lot more detail in the RAW images. I still needed instant availability, though, so I still shot JPEGs, as they could be e-mailed directly to editors within minutes of being shot. Since the camera was set up for it, I simply continued doing that, but I would only work on the RAWs. My 1DX (now that it's fixed) does such a good job, that I look first at the JPEGs!

But it does have the digital lens optimizer. Canon's proprietary way to read out the subject distance from the lens then apply adjustments to overcome even the impact of anti aliasing sensor filter.

If you want clarity or any other Lightroom setting you can send to Photoshop under the tools menu and apply the camera raw filter that gives you almost all the functions of Lightroom.

If you check out the second column here is shows which ones have a camera matching profile. Many 'yes' but many no. I tried it on my Canon RP, no change of any kind when camera settings activated in lightroom, as you said. But either way it is not picking up other in camera settings like digital lens optimization. I wish it did.

Digital Lens Optimization is a computational process. It is either applied in-camera to JPEGs (as long as the lens data is loaded in the camera) or in DPP (as long as the lens data is downloaded from the Canon site). It would require that LrC have both the software routine and the data from Canon in order to achieve that.

LrC can be configured to apply the Lightroom lens correction data as part of the import process. I haven't seen any discussions relative to the Lightroom lens correction data being inadequate.

But, to the OP's initial desire, DPP would be the way to go. Free and completely compatible with the camera.

I'm still finding my way around the program. I'll look for that. Thanks!

You can also use the batch Process feature of DPP to send the file directly to Lightroom (a "batch" can be a single file).

Thanks for the tip. I'll look at that function.

My point was there are things that Lightroom can try to emulate but it is just that, an emulation, and other things they can't even try to emulate because they are proprietary to Canon. Lightroom does an amazing job in my opinion, it just can never be identical to Canon because there is more than one way to covert a raw file.

I understand.
