hey /p/ I've got a troubleshooting question for Lightroom. When converting to jpeg I've noticed a massive drop in quality from the nef files after exporting, is this just going to happen? or is there a way to combat this? I'll post a couple of the images it's most notable in.

the thing i've noticed the most is the edges are
no longer sharp mostly. Any noise or grain I
can't do anything about. Thanks /p/

There's your problem.

I'm not going to try and defend my exposure but the raw files look crisp is this just image compression?

Then just fuck up the slider of sharpness and clarity, and export with less jpg loss.

The problem is that your picture is 89kb
Reduce output compression

>is this just image compression?
Yes.
Set JPEG quality to 70% (but no need to go higher than that).
Also make sure you have output sharpening enabled to combat softening caused by compression.

Maximum Aperture f/1.0
wtf is that lens
>>2985553
Means the camera failed to recognize the lens.
Most likely an adapted lens.
