- When you import images into Lightroom or hit the reset button to reset one of your image edits, Lightroom adds some pre-editing to the image. In this video, I demonstrate how to control those default settings.

This has been driving me nuts with my own Z8 so glad to understand how to resolve it.
I use Lightroom for so many years, but everytime I realize how much there is to learn. Thanks for this!
Used lightroom for ages but never understood properly about import presets. You explained it all so well.
Thank you!
This is a great reminder video...however, it did re-ignite the conversation in my head around using camera-specific Linear Profiles in Lightroom. When I did my own tests using the Linear Profile for my Sony a9, I did get drastically better edits and cleaner noise performance than when using the default Adobe-provided Profiles in Lightroom (and other editing programs that ignore camera-specific qualities).
It really makes me question how much stock to put into the results that camera reviewers conclude when they compare sensors' performances based on already limited editing profiles designed by software designers.
I've been wondering for a while if this was possible, so your post is very timely. Super clear and easy to follow Anthony. Thank you so much!
Hi Anthony, I really enjoy your videos, your instruction and presentation qualities are bar none. I do have one little suggestion regarding this video and that is that you need to set within the import window in the "Apply During Import" section to choose the Develop Settings you want imported.
Thank you - I never knew how to do this.
If you had two Z8’s and one was converted to Infrared then serial numbers would be important.
Thank you for the informative and concise video.
Tried to do this for a long time but couldn't nail it. Excellent tip & tutorial by you, Anthony. Thank you.
Thanks for your presentation Anthony! Would love to see more of your images taken with the Z8 since I am also a Nikon guy though I know you have worked with Sony also. I am using the Z6ii now until I can afford moving to the Z8, it's disappointing that once my camera is used I can't get much for it as a trade-in.
Good video. Also applies to Adobe Camera Raw so easy to transfer across. Thanks.
I'd heard that LrC imposed settings as a default but hadn't a clue how to baseline / get rid of them. Like yourself, I prefer to process image files how I want and NOT how Adobe / LrC thinks I should. Thank you.
I've been doing this for a few years now and it's really helpful, as I like to have a very very basic image when it comes into LR Classic (no sharpening, no exposure or color adjustments, and even a very flat profile -- although i use Adobe Neutral instead of Flat since Flat is not supported by some cameras, but Standard has been updated over the years and I want to start with a base level image upon import so I use Neutral personally for my workflow which gives you a "flat" image with reduced contrast). This provides me a similar starting point for all images (although on my computer I have it set for ALL cameras to apply the same preset which pretty much zeros everything out and sets the Picture profile to Neutral). The issue I was starting to have is that Standard would sometimes give inconsistent results and depended partially on when the image was imported and also which version of Standard profile yo uused (there are now two versions : Standard and now "Standard v2").
4:15 I think it makes more sense to only select the settings you actually want to affect during import. I use Fujifilm cameras and want the film simulation that I shot with to be the default Profile, so in the preferences setup I have set Raw Defaults Global to be Camera Settings, not Adobe Default. This means that if I shoot with Astia, the colour profile will be Astia in develop module, not Adobe Default. If you save the preset with a different profile, then when imported or reset, the profile will change to whatever the preset was set as. So, IMO don’t check the Treatment & Profile setting when you create the preset.
Great one Anthony! Never knew Lr edited your images automatically !
Anthony, there is one big problem with applying a preset to the Z8 on import. The camera picture profiles are no longer applied on import.
I often shoot mono on the Z8. If the default import setting is apply Camera Settings then my Z8 raw picture profile is applied on import i.e. my photos will be imported as raw mono files. If, on the other hand, you apply a user preset on import you can no longer import the Z8 picture profiles in RAW.
This would imply that it is the Z8 that is adding sharpening and noise reduction on import, not Lightroom.
On import of my files I select all then reduce the noise reduction and luminance to zero then sync. That way, I can shoot in mono and import RAW mono files. Of course, the original colour file is still available.
This seemed perfect for me since I apply presets to each camera type manually after I import them. Sadly, Lightroom does not have my phone or drone in the camera choices dropdown list. Those cameras do show up in the metadata, however.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Wow! I had no clue how this happened. Now I can set up what I want myself. Thanks a million❤
Thank you Anthony. I could never make this stick and you explained it very well.
Excellent, thank you.
Like you, I use more than once camera and need to know how to choose the preset before importing....
Thank you thank you thank you. I am fairly new to Lightroom Classic and have been pulling my hair out look for how to do this. TWO THUMBS UP!
Excellent tip. Does the same apply to Adobe Camera Raw?
Thank you. You explain everything so clearly.
Thank you! This is very helpful and I love your doggy pic!
Learnt another thing from you Anthony. Thank you.
Using a Lightroom preset on import that disables settings like sharpening, noise reduction, camera profile, and lens corrections is a good way to be sure you are not applying corrections in Lightroom that you prefer to apply in another app using a Lightroom plug-in. Best to do these once only.
I appreciate the refresher. I just checked and found I had this already set up in Lightroom for my current camera but not some of my older bodies, and sometimes I'm still importing old original images from those bodies. Best to setup a preset for each body you use or have used in the past.
Very good. I wondered why Lightroom kept sharpening all my images. I hated it. Now I can fix it. 👍 another thing I dont like is lightroom export to hard rive on PNG defaults to 8bit and I want 16bit. I cant find a preference for that
Thanks Anthony! I've wanted to be able to do this for years!
Thanks for the information. This is a great way to ensure that imported inmages are the way you want them at the start of your workflow. This takes the "what happened" or the "how come" out of the imported images. Thanks again.
Excellent! Thank you so much!
Thanks for this super useful tip Anthony. I just set up the defaults for my two cameras using your instructions.
Outstanding...
This would help my workflow in editing landscapes as I invariably use Transform and Len's Corrections first up before I go to the Basic panel.
Thanks Anthony.
Thanks!
Great advice, would this work the same for Camera RAW?
Very useful Anthony. Thank you. I often (usually!) import RAW images from my camera card into LR Mobile on my iPad. I then let Adobe sync with the cloud before I process in Classic on my Mac. The question therefore is can I do a similar import preset in Mobile and no matter if that’s done, would setting up a profile in classic apply to images already imported into Mobile and then synced?
I didn't realize those settings in Default meant that some editing had been applied, I thought that was the starting points! I know LRC already does immediate editing, because in the Basic tab, there's always a profile, usually it's Adobe Color. I can't seem to find a way to just get the RAW image.
DO you have a similar old tutorial for Lightroom 6? it's a little different
This cool, I noticed that when I import my image and go into the basic panel ,Light room will have my camera profile Adobe Color .I have my profile on EOS R as Neutral LR offers Neutral V2 Could I change that to Neutral V2 on import as you described?
What a GREAT video, thanks. I've been vaguely aware of these issues, but never fully understood where and/or how to control and deal with them. So, this explained it all excellently. I do have a question for you: lenses. I have a Canon 7Dm2, and I have four different lenses. When I set up my camera defaults, and set up my "Lens Corrections," will it automatically adjust to the proper lens
used, or will it force my 50mm lens setting onto my 100mm lens? Thank you in advance!
Hi. I have the same with my Nikon lenses. Don't worry. The correction to the lens that was used is applied. So, it works perfectly.
@@ronvoskuijl1008 Thank you. I was hoping that someone knew rather than having to experiment and fiddle. Now I can just set things up, and I'm good!
Can you not add these requirements on the import dialogue page?
How can I do this for Fuji x100F
You de man!
Have you in the presets use the Auto at top of the basic panel in your presets? This way you have a basic start then tweak to your liking after.
Great idea. Before seeing your comment, I asked a question above as to whether selecting the ‘Auto’ option when creating the default import setting whether resulting basic panel settings will be adjusted for each photo individually, so that each photo is analyzed on import. I was concerned that it would only analyze the 1st photo, set an auto setting, and then apply that same setting to all imported photos. This is what seems to happen when I select multiple,photos in the Develop panel, and use Auto (with Auto-Sync turned on). It does not seem to analyze each photo separately and adjust the Auto settings accordingly. Since you likely use the auto setting on import, do you know whether each photo is treated individually on import?
I did a test of seven image with R6, some under and over exposed, then setup a user preset that has Auto selected only. Import- in "Apply During Import" the 'Develop Settings' selected the user preset I made up for auto only to be applied during import. This worked as each image had different tone adjustments, vibrance and saturation as needed. Sure they are not what I want mostly but it starts me out then I tweak from it.
Then I put this preset in the Preferences for the camera R6 as default. Imported those images again, looked at the images and each had different tone adjustments, vibrance and saturation as needed. I then looked at those images imported the way mentioned in first paragraph with the ones done using camera default, using the same preset and they had slightly different adjustments. This is weird same images but different adjustments all though very slight.
The conclusion for me, I might use this auto in the preset from now on until I see an issue. It gets me started even though I always adjust them some anyways.
To mention I am a subscriber for a few years now and enjoy seeing them for different ways of doing things which I do implement some in to my work flow. So, thanks much for your hard work.

@@bentleybloodworth4282 Thanks for letting us know the results of your test. I too will likely create an import and default preset that just also includes the auto settings. Not perfect, but is good to have them set that way when doing the first cut of culling photos to see which ones will work best.
There is also a ‘Auto’ setting that does not get checked when you ‘check all’. If you select this Auto, I assume this will be the same as doing a basic “Auto” selection in the Basic Panel, correct? If so, does this analyze the photos individually and set it to Auto based on the photo exposures, etc and does it analyze each photo separately and apply separate auto settings for each photo? I would assume it SHOULD, but I have always found that when in the develop module and I have multiple, photos selected, with AutoSync turned on, that hitting the AUTO button sets the same basic panel settings for all selected photos based on an analysis of the 1st photo selected in the group, rather than analyzing each photo individually and setting the Auto settings for each photo accordingly.
I would like to be able to import photos with the Auto setting as a default, but only if it analyses each photo separately.
Hope my question makes sense?
UPDATE: Finally got a chance to do some testing, and I can answer more own question above. I have confirmed if I create a Default Camera Preset, and include the "Auto" setting checked in the Basic Panel, and when creating the Preset in Preferences, then applying the preset to a group of images will apply a different 'Auto' setting to each individual photo (ie. optimized to each photo individually), but only as AS LONG AS THE AUTO-SYNC switch (to the left of the Reset switch) is turned ON so it applies to multiple photos. If the Auto-Sync is turned off, then applying a Camera Default Preset will only apply that profile to the first (prominent) selected photo in a group. So this is very handy!
Can lighroom Classic be set up so it does it automatically when importing so you dont have to hit reset?
Set it up as Anthony described and then it will happen automatically on import.
You'll probably find your images are picking up a preset on import. I have all my images
apply a preset on import, it can save a lot of time.
This is why I hate Adobe.
