p.1 #1 · RAW images from Canon on LR3 preview turns dark
RAW images from Canon 1D mark IV imports into LR3.
The images from Canon 1D mark IV looks fine very briefly as they load up, but immediately turning to dark (like underexposed) when the image is open.
This is an opposite experience to the older Canon 1Ds Mark II and 1D mark III, after those images load up they turn lighter and look more accurate.
I am pretty sure that my shots are properly exposed, proven by histogram evenly spread. How come the images look at least 1 to 2 stops unexposed when loaded to view in LR3?
I am on the fence about LR4 being slow, and wonder if this problem might occur in LR4 as well.
Is there a certain setting I have missed , or might this be a software bug? I tried adjusting the settings panel from adobe standard to camera standard, but looks pretty much the same.
Any advice from members with experience on LR3 and LR4, please share.

You may have reset the default processing. You can set it back to default by holding down the Alt/Option key and clicking the Reset button in the Develop module (at the lower right).
Thank you very much for the input leighton w. This was very helpful. I do not think this is the issue I am having. The change to the preview is not a subtle adjustment, it is extreme. At least 2 stops darker. Thanks again for the lead. I will search Adobe for more solutions. I am obviously new to RAW. I have a lot to learn.

If you intend to shoot Raw only and convert using Adobe software I would suggest that you turn off Auto Lighting Optimizer and Highlight Tone Priority.
Try it for yourself; turn off both options and take a few test shots and you'll see that the results are nomal in ACR/Lightroom.
