you've misunderstood this, Tom. LR does not force you to apply any settings to more than one image. You can work on each image individually exactly as you describe. However you can if you wish apply the work you've done on one image to any number of other images if you feel that's appropriate. You can also set up parameters to your import that will apply to all the images in an import, if you want. This is useful for things like captions and similar exif data. I have an import preset which puts my name, address, copyright info etc. on everything I import. For each import I also put in some generic caption info, eg 'Cevennes, France. 2010', and keywords (nature, landscape, france, people, rural, ...). When I edit the individual pictures I put in more specific caption info and keywords.
