I was able to copy the Develop settings I used for the single file edit example I presented yesterday and paste them to apply to a few dozen adjacent images with a similar exposure. With a few minor exposure white balance adjustments, I could simply choose which ones I liked best. This is one of those images and compositions I liked.
In fact, having developed a fairly aggressive collection of settings for pulling out shadow detail, I was able to re-use those settings to quickly post-process sunrise images from a visit to Mono Lake a week earlier as well!
(Disclaimer: I have no business relationship whatsoever with Adobe; I just thought you'd like to know how I efficiently process most of my landscape photos.)

nice n calm!!!!!!!!!!
Creative!
Do you apply the same presets to all your images? I usually have to process each one individually, I only copy-paste the settings when the images are of the same subject and taken under the same light conditions.
If you turn 90º probably the subject is different and require different settings, no?
I love Lightroom. And I really like this photo!
Beautiful photo ;-)
This is amazing.
This is the picture of fall for me... I love it :)
You're absolutely right +Paulo Serrão. In this case I moved up the canyon, always facing the same susnet, so the lighting conditions were all similar. I only selected the subset of Develop conditions which brought out shadow detail across the whole photo, and were not related to the content (I did not copy software graduate neutral density filters or use of a brush tool to selectively affect content). While I did include the new white balance settings in the copy, white balance can change during a sunset, so part of the remaining editing required was to try the As Shot and Auto settings as well, and decide which would make the best starting point for the most realistic color, and fine tune the white balance from there.
The sunrise I applied those basic settings to was also shooting essentially directly into the sun, so the conditions, and the challenges which needed to be solved, were similar.
jak z bajki ;D
amzing view,,,,,,,,,,nice done
