How to change Lightroom's default Develop settings
« on: May 01, 2010, 09:54:29 PM »
The Develop module's defaults include:
  • White balance: As Shot
  • Blacks: 5
  • Brightness: 50
  • Contrast: 25
  • Point Curve: Medium
  • Sharpening: 25
  • Color noise reduction: 25
  • Profile: Adobe Standard

These defaults can be overridden by a Develop Preset applied at Import time, or can be changed.
To change the defaults in the Develop module:
  • Press the Reset button at the bottom of the right panel.  This will adjust all controls to the current default settings.
  • Make any adjustments you wish to make to the defaults.
  • Press and hold the Alt/Option key, and note that the Reset button is now Set Default...  Press it.
Note that if you have your Preferences set to have different defaults per camera and/or per ISO, you may need to repeat these steps for each applicable camera, ISO, or camera/ISO combination.

Note 2: This will affect new Imports, but will not affect images which have already been imported.
