Question Lightroom + DPP + Fuji X Series

Hi all,

Long time Canon DSLR user struggling with Fuji X series RAW.

That's the headline, now read all about it.

I've long shot canon CR2 RAW and edited these in DPP and Photoshop. DPP shows me the canon RAW image exactly as shot in-camera, and I can then tweak the RAW if required or just send it straight through to Photoshop.

Now zoom forward in time to present day with my new Fuji X-E2 camera and the new (to me) world of Fuji ......

The camera doesn't seem to come with a DPP equivalent, and the best option seemed to be to import the files using Lightroom.

The problem: When I import the files in Lightroom they seem to be "reset" to a standard profile. For example, I shot the images in B&W, Velvia, and Standard settings in-camera but when put in Lightroom the RAW files are all showing flat colour/default.

The question: Is there any way in lightroom or some other program, to do as I did in DPP and see the Fuji raw files on PC as they were intended/shot in-camera and then proceed with manipulation?

I have found in Lightroom I can manually change each picture back, one by one, to a Fuji profile by selecting a camera profile for Velvia, B&W, etc. But I seem to need to do this one by one for each picture after Lightroom has gone and reset them. I am using an up to date install of the most recent Lightroom 5.4

I'm essentially new to Lightroom. I used it a little a while back but gave up and went back to DPP.

Thanks for any assistance!
