Lightroom Lies: Taming Contrast Defaults Patreon Exclusive Members Videos & Articles: http://bit.ly/2SwaSZ6 When processing, it's always best practise to begin with a true representation of the raw file - and if you use Lightroom, or Lightroom Classic at its installation defaults THIS will NOT happen!
