No its not. You have to have to be in the develope module & then go to Develop > set default settings. Its ISO & camera specific so you need to set it up for each ISO setting.
The way I've set it up is as follows:
- Never shoot on auto ISO otherwise you'll have loads of defaulst to set. I set my ISO to go in whole stops so I only have to set the defaulst for 100, 200 etc up to 3200
- Shoot a test card out of focus - something like the attached. This is actually a profiling colour chart bluetacked to the wall with a test image held about 30cm in front of it. I then focus non the test image at maximum apeture so taht the profiling chart is slightly out of focus.
- Shoot this set up for all the ISOs that you want to have settings applied by default
- Import the images into Lightroom
- At this stage I then make just the adjustments that I want to have applied automatically. For me these are
- Noise reduction - this is ISO specific
- Clarity - I usually add +10
- This is where you would enable profile corrections - leave it at default & it will automatically apply the standard Adobe profile for your lens if there is one
- Repeat for each test image
- When you are happy with your settings - select each image in turn & go to Develop > Set Default Settings
Job done... BUT... I wouldn't have the lens corrections applied automatically unless you've got a hugely powerful computer. Lens corrections take a masive amount of computing power. I used to do this & could work out why Lightroom have become very slllloooowwww.
So now my work flow is automatically apply noise reduction & clarity. Select the images worth peocessuing further, apply what ever edits that I want & then I have a preset that applys the lens corrections which I do last
