[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 508423, member: 9240"] Don, as I mentioned already, camera profile can make a [I]huge[/I] difference in workflow. There are two schools of thought here. One, not to give a rat's ass about what the JPEG preview looks like and always start with one profile because you'll always get a similar look and feel as a starting point. Adobe Standard, Camera Standard and Camera Neutral seem to be the most common. Or if you have a specific style of shooting that lends itself to a look you like to start with, pick that one. Two, always keep your camera set to one profile and then match that profile on import. This is the method I use. Even though LR defaults to Adobe Standard, it's very easy to change the defaults for a camera. In the LR Develop module, go to an unedited image from the camera that you're using and make the changes that you would like to see applied to [I]every[/I] image imported by that camera (I check boxes for Chromatic Aberation and Lens Profile Correction, set my default for input sharpening and set the Camera Profile to [I]Camera Standard[/I]. Once done, go to the [B]Develop[/B] menu and choose [B]Set Default Settings...[/B] and click the [B]Update To Current Settings[/B] button. This will now apply all these as a part of your import process, but know that the more you do here the more work Adobe has to do during the preview phase of the import. These changes are specific to a body type, so if you shoot multiple bodies you will need to do it for each [I]type[/I] (D750, D610, D7100, etc.). You can also click a box in the Presets tab of the Preferences dialogue to make the settings specific to a camera serial number in case you have multiples of the same body and have done some specific sensor profiling (the same body can have minor differences in what the sensor gives you). It may add a bit of time to your import, but it won't add another step to your workflow. [/QUOTE]
