Canon EOS 600D producing dark toned RAW images (.CR2)

Hi,

I am new to the photography world, using my Canon EOS 600D since the past two years. I have off late only started shooting in RAW (.CR2) format, mainly RAW+L. What I have noted is that all my CR2 files have a darkish tone added to them when compared to the same JPEG formats. All pictures are all taken in the manual mode.

Could you please help me with the below.

  1. Is it a problem with the Canon EOS 600D model. Some friends of mine with Canon EOS 600D have complained of the same issue.
  2. If it's not a problem with the camera series, is there any ready solution? By changing some settings or ...
  3. If yes could someone please share the same with me in this forum.
  4. If it can't be sorted out by simple change of settings in the camera model, can someone please provide some guided resolutions steps to be performed in adobe photoshop cameraRAW, adobe LightRoom or any other softwares.
  5. I did discuss on this with a few friends of mine who have been using Canon EOS 60D and 5D series and none have faced the same issue with RAW formats. 

I have pasted some samples below. I was unable to post CR2 images in this forum, so just opened the images using picasa and taken screen shots and pasted them as simple images.

 

Any help will be highly appreciated and really helpful for me. Please ignore if I'm sounding very stupid, I'm new to this field.

 

Thanks

Biswajit

Yes I guess that's the issue. Now when I opened the same image in Adobe Camera Raw I applied the camera profile settings to Camera Standard which was what I had set when I had taken the shot. And yes by default it's set to Adobe Standard which was a bit blackish. Thank you so much for the resolution.
