Always include a copyright notice
At minimum, be sure a copyright notice containing your name and the year the
photo was made is embedded in all your photos. Doing this during import ensures
all your photos will contain your copyright notice from the outset of the workl ow.
DEVELOP PRESETS
Develop presets allow you to automatically apply Develop module settings to
photos as they are imported. h is provides more control over your baseline image
settings at the outset of the editing workl ow and saves time in processing.
You can't coni gure Develop presets from the import screen; you must do this in the
Develop module prior to starting an import (see Chapter 4).
Before you start saving Develop presets, you will likely need to manually process
a few photos and take note of the common settings you frequently apply to help
determine the adjustments to include in your presets.
One preset is not always enough
A Develop preset applied on import need not be the i nal stage of applying presets
to an image. At er it's been imported, in the Develop module you can apply
additional, multiple presets. Note that if two consecutive presets both contain
a setting for the same adjustment, the latter will override the former. For more
information about Develop presets, see Chapter 4.
Import presets
Lightroom 3's new Import
system now also provides
the capability to save
Import Presets. If you have
common import settings
you frequently use, you can store them for quick retrieval later. (Import Presets can
also store your selections for the other types of presets.)
