GX7: My LR has been cursed when I saw the JPG and RAW in iPhoto
1

I usually use Lightroom to process the RAW files from my GX7, and they look dull & greyish in LR, but I thought it is just the way RAW works. For example, I use Vivid style, but cannot tell it from RAW and only JPGs have the effect. Not at all look like the photos I see on the camera's screen.

Today I took a few photos during lunch time, since I'm at work place, I do not have my personal laptop and the macbook pro at office only has iPhoto, which pops up automatically when I inserted my SD card.

Guess what, I saw the RAWs and JPGs looking nearly the same (except brightness / darkness) and even the RAWs look like the ones I saw on camera screen!

I know that LR may not have the settings for GX7 but I didn't expect such a difference. Is there a GX7 profile for LR somewhere I can download, or should I try another software such like DXO in order to get nearer to JPEGs?

Thanks!

Below are RAW and JPG of the same scene, I used Vivid with NR to lowest (negative something) and sharpness to 0, also adjusted the curve to make shadow brighter (which should explain the darkness in RAW). I didn't do any editing in iPhoto, just imported and exported the RAW and JPG with highest quality.
