In Lightroom Classic, to apply lens correction to all photos I just imported, I enabled correction for one photo and then selected all the other photos and pasted the lens correction settings. This seems kinda laborious. Is there a more efficient way to apply lens correction? And will I always have to apply lens correction to every new batch of photos I import?

Thanks for your thoughts.

You can edit your default profile so that it is checked. For most that is adobe standard.

Thanks but I don't understand. So Edit/Preferences, and then what? I don't see anything about lens corrections in the Preset tab or any other tab.

Lens correction can be included on your import preset.

This is the easiest place to apply processing you ALWAYS perform. I see two downsides. Sometimes particularly in the case of very wide angle lenses the result is not desirable. Also I think of the lens correction along with noise reduction and sharpening as relatively processor intensive finishing operations that are best left until after culling and selection.

I edit the first image in the batch and then create my own preset. I have two presets I created to my taste - "My Landscape" for most of the images and "My Cityscape" for images where geometric corrections are required. So, I typically open the image, apply my preset and then do
adjustments as required.

I made an import preset called start that sets profile to Adobe Landscape and turns lens correction on. I use it for everything but underwater GoPro images where lens correction hurts rather than helps.

This is really simple. Highlight all the picture files you want to include. Go to develop mode and work on the one picture that comes up. When satisfied click on Sync. A setting screen will pop up. Put a check mark by what you want to effect and hit Synchronize. All highlighted photos will now make the change. I use this all the time to adjust files affected by theater lighting.
You can work on one file first and then pick and highlight the files you want to reflect this change. It's Sync in develop mode.
