When editing at scale, efficiency is key. At any point you can optimize your workflow, it begins to yield exponential gains in time spent over many images. This 'preset' is a neutral starting point that I use for every and all edits I do in Lightroom. There's ZERO color in this preset, but it does prep you image to be edited and color graded most efficiently across all LR parameters.

There's a lot of repeatable settings that I've found are best automated, and not something I want to mess with for all the 60,000 images in my catalog. There's also little things like adding consistent points on all channel curves, slightly neutralizing shadow tonality, adding image softness, etc. that I've found very useful.

This pack includes 3 presets, mostly to satiate my OCD. One neutral preset, one for light images and one for dark images. The difference is nominal, but theres things in the Parametric Curve, and 'Color Grading' panels that are best adjusted according to overall image luminance. If you don't want to bother, the neutral option will work perfectly fine for all images and can be altered to taste.

As is the case with all presets, feel free to edit any parameters to your liking and use this as a foundation to create your own version of LR 000.
