Once we realised the in camera D3 tint or hue adjust didn’t carry over to lightroom (why any one would touch these I do not know)

We were able to dial in files just fine with the tint & colour temp in Lightroom 1.3.1 v Camera Raw 4.3.1..

My pet peeve is Lightroom print module not functioning properly I was hoping it would be fixed by now I have the one print job I do a year . An HBA event coming up in couple of weeks

I was hoping Lightroom the 1.4. release would sort out the issues …

The overall functionality and feature set is superb. except there is one small problem…

It cannot render Nikon NEF images as well as the in-camera JPGs.
No matter how much time your spend (waste), you cannot get accurate colour rendition involving the RED channel.
You can tweak all you like in the HSL panel, to no avail.
The same old red channel Nikon problem.

Particularly noticeable with timbers (flooring, furniture, etc) - they’re just plain wrong.
It is usually rendered as a horrible brown.

I might add, this is using a D300 preset too, and goes beyond a W/B issue.
Green and Blue shades are rendered accurately, but red-orange-brown isn’t.

With Nikon’s own Capture NX, it isn’t a problem… the colours are spot on.
What a pity Nikon can’t/won’t release the processing algorithm so that 3rd party vendors can process NEFs properly.
Then again, why would they?

If Capture NX had the functionality of LR, then it would be one awesome piece of software for Nikon shooters.
