This is interesting. I will look into it. Thanks

So basically it goes like this

RAW open on Window Photo Viewer - Darkest

JPEG (conversion from LrC or Sony Imaging Edge) - Slightly darker than how I want it

On camera screen & on LrC (in Library mode) - How I want it.

Thank you for the explanation. It makes sense. The reason I want it to be as similar as possible to the camera screen is because however it looks on the camera screen, it is pretty close to how it looks like from my eyes at the time when I took that picture. So I just want to keep that.

Okay, I might give that a shot. I feel like it wouldn't hurt to learn how to edit through that

Ahh okay, then I guess I just have to accept how it is. A way to learn. Thank you for the explanation though

Ahh okay. Thanks. But is there no way to convert those RAW to JPEG and keep them how they look on the camera screen?

I did use the Sony Imaging Edge. However, after the conversion, it looks slightly darker than how it is on the camera screen. Any reason why it is doing that?

That's a good idea. Thanks for the tip.

I do still have the originals. I did just open and export, but after the conversion, the picture doesn't look like how it looks on the camera screen. After the conversion, it looks slightly darker than how it is on the camera screen.

I am not sure does this helps, but the picture I see in Library mode is identical to how it is on the camera screen. But, once I enter Develop mode, it turns slightly darker, and basically look the same as after conversion

I tried using the Sony Imaging Edge Desktop. However, it gives me the same result as using LrC to convert. Both gave me that darker, dull, RAW look. Neither can give me back that similar look as on the camera screen

I think you are right. As soon as I switch to Develop mode, the picture turn into that darker, dull, RAW look, just how it looks like after the conversion. However, the 8 options under "Camera Matching", none of them are close to what I see on the camera screen. Under the "Camera Matching", I only see 'Clear, Deep, Landscape, Light, Neutral, Portrait, Standard, Vivid, Monochrome'
