Apologies - if I've got this wrong and this should be in the workflow section.
Despite using LR since V1 there are some aspects I've still not got to grips with, and it's increasingly hampering me. I shoot RAW, and am comfortable with why images out of camera look a bit flat and what to do about it.
Where I'm struggling is automating some aspects of things. I came back from a shoot with about 800 pics, and my typical way of working, a picture at a time, with some syncing between similar pictures is just too time intensive.
I'm aware that I can have a preset applied at import, that's specific to the camera model and even ISO setting, I'm less sure about what should be in it.
Unless I'm missing something you can't automate the picture stype to apply (Canon Landscape, Neutral, Portrait etc) and eveything else I do stems from which pf these I apply. Sorting out white and black point, exposure, clarity etc all seem very picture specific rather than something I can apply to all pics taken.
To sum up in a specific question I suppose it would be :
I shoot on Canon 5d M3, RAW, what do others do at import to give the thumbnail pictures a bit more punch for inital viewing ?
Thanks
