Rob

I can't find that preset in preferences, but to clarify these are not jpegs 
shot at the same time as the raw I am talking about but the preview jpegs 
which are embedded in the raw files to help with previewing.

I am currently on LR5.2RC. I have tried going back to LR5 to no avail. Don't 
know what else to try.
