Olympus RAW files seem so much more drab than the Canon ones I was used to, and i sometimes genuinely struggle to get the final results I was used to using LR. At what point is the profile that you mention above applied to the RAW file by LR? I wonder if its possible to tweak it.........
From what Jeff says above it is possible to use a "vivid" setting to your RAW files in camera which will carry through into LR. Would that be your understanding as well? I do understand (of course) that the image we see on the LCD or EVF is a jpeg generated in camera and not the RAW file.
.... As I understand it, regardless of which RAW editor you use, your preferred in-camera colour choice results such as style will be converted as part of the editor's RAW Conversion from data to image at the instant you import the file into that RAW editor. Which is why I avoid using RAW editors/converters other than Capture One because I want consistency.
But with RAW images it's not necessarily that important because you can easily adjust everything in a full-blooded RAW editor anyway. JPEG files are limited and have far less data to play with as I think we all know, but some photographers find them useful for other reasons such as quickly sending images to clients and/or the media.
I personally do not find Olympus RAW files more drab than my Canon CR2 and CR3 ones were. But it may be down to Capture One's versus Lightroom's RAW Conversion Engine as Capture One has specific variants for several camera brands. Phase One's Capture One was originally developed as the software which could handle image files generated from the extremely high quality Phase One cameras and their whole development history has been geared to specific camera brands.
