I find its a good starting point, quite often use the auto method.See, one thing I never really do, is set black and white points.......
That's the good thing about editing your own images. You can pretty much do whatever you want.
It's certainly worth learning though imo. I do 95% of my editing in LR. Photoshop only really when I need to blend or use layers. Affinity mainly just for panoramic stitching.

I have a lot to learn in regards all the settings and what's going to work for me, but one thing I was hoping was the transferred images to the forum would look cleaner and sharper like they do on FB but there's still some degradation here. I saved as a small JPEG as I thought large would not load on the forum. All early days.First thing to do is set the Black and White points, think it would benefit from that.
If it were me I would take the highlights down and add some careful sharpening
Great thing with digital processing, just mess about with the settings to see what happens.
It's going to take a while to get the hang of LR, I did another edit of this picture this morning which I like more and I think I overexposed this first one.And I've never used the auto button either
As I said, that's one good thing about editing everything and everyone is unique and there are many ways to do things. You can only learn more by using LR more regularly.
For general editing I click a usual preset I have which contains a non standard profile and a few other basic things such as daylight WB, lens corrections etc Unless I want to play with masking of some sort, that pretty much does it.
Obviously sunrise/sunset and especially my night sky stuff need more work than a simple click.
