Replying to myself! I finally removed Viewer from my PC and installed
Studio 2 (which can't be installed unless you remove Viewer, grumble
grumble). Like Master 2, it uses the jpg Picture settings as a
starting-point for RAW development.
IIRC correctly, DeepPeeveReview used ACR for RAW development when they
tested the E-3? They seem to have preferred jpg over RAW to some
degree. They should be used either Master 2 or Studio 2. If you
think the E-3 makes good jpgs, the RAW version looks exactly the same
when it opens up in Studio 2. I really want to like Lightroom better,
but it looks like Studio 2 is the ticket. I guess it really ought to
be.
