I have lightroom 2. Now I always shoot raw and use the Canon technical picture style as it is really flat and a good starting point for editing. every time I import I find LR tweak the pictures as if there is an auto setting but I have checked and there isn't anyone know why it looks like they have been processed? Also, i wonder I am making too much work for myself and could shoot optimally for LR. Any Canon users out there prepared to divulge their settings I am using a 40d

If you want it quickly to use your picture setting, use canon's DPP that came with the camera.

In Lr go to Edit>Preferences and go to the Presets tab. There is an APPLY AUTO TONE ADUSTMENT preset there. Is it ticked?
 
Thanks for replying, but no it is unticked. I wonder if it is the way the RAW image is captured that it is showing regardless of the picture style i am using or if it is the way it generates a preview

The camera makers don't give 3rd parties access to the jpg settings that are used to create the camera settings like standard, landscape etc. So LR is just using a made up setting which will look different depending on which preset/camera calibration setting you use. Best thing is tweak one till it meets your requirements and save it as a preset, match it to the same shot taken as in camera jpg if that's what your after. When you first open a pic in LR the preview you briefly see is an in camera jpg preview (what you see on the LCD) that's embedded in each RAW file, then LR shows you the RAW.

Otherwise you need to use the camera makers software to get the image that the camera would make.
