One of the best ways to increase your efficiency in Lightroom (particularly if you frequently work with large batches of the same sort of images) is to create your own presets. This helpful video will show you how to create your own presets in Lightroom.
Coming to you from Aaron Nace with Phlearn, this great video will teach you how to create your own presets in Lightroom. Presets have a controversial reputation, as inexperienced photographers can get sucked into thinking they are a one-click method to great photos, but it is different when you create your own, as you have to make them from scratch, thus forcing you to understand how each editing choice works. If you tend to work with large amounts of similar images (such as weddings or events) and want to ensure consistency in your style and make your post-processing workflow much more efficient, presets are a fantastic tool. For example, I frequently shoot concerts in the same space, and as such, my edits are generally pretty consistent. To save time, I have created a concert preset that gets applied to all my images when they are imported into Lightroom. Check out the video above for the full rundown.
