Bulent, I don't know how you do it, but Lightroom 3 pre-sets sound like the solution. I went to a David Ziser seminar with Paul Sorenson earlier this year. Ziser makes liberal use of pre-sets on all the raw files he imports. You need somebody on the web to have figured this out for you already. Perhaps our own Lightroom guru, Godfrey, knows more about this. Regards, Bob S.
