What are you basic adjustments/presets?

[FreeloaderJoe]

Hi there,

Interested to experiment with different peoples techniques. I import my raw files to Lightroom 2. From the (dulled when compared to the on screen JPEG) RAW file i tend to:

Auto Tone
Auto WB (Where neccesary)
Saturation +7/12 pts
Curves - small contrast tweek
Sharpen

The vibrant colour returns which the original JPEG had, the picture is sharpened if neccesary and the image gains an element of depth.

What do you do normally?

Personally I hate the auto setting, I do use presets for sharpening, I have another (great) one that gives zero saturation on all the colours, I can then ajust the luminance of each colour for B+W or pick one colour for the saturation to give a colour pop (say just the red in an image showing) much quicker than doing them one at a time.
