I like to see my files with that profile at first glance so I use it as an import preset. To follow Adobe's suggested order of development I Reset any files I choose to edit. I'm travelling so I decided to see how much the catalogue grows afterI import, selecting all photos and applying Photo - Develop Settings - Update Ai settings.
I just did an import of 128 files and applying that preset. My lrcat folder grew from 10.4 MB to 11.2 MB. My lrcat.data folder grew from 586.4 MB to 715.9 MB. I'm not concerned by this but I was curious what others think. Does that seem like a lot or a little to you? I'm only asking because of the catalogue sizes using AI and the questions about enabling Write to XMP to keep the size down. I'm not going to use XMP either way.
My catalogue is pretty small. We've been in Portugal since Jan 14 and I think we went through about 7 storm systems big enough to get names. I didn't get out much expect for a few inclement weather shots. Finally after a month we are getting fantastic weather. I also pre-cull before importing and at least half of the files don't make it into LrC.
