I have a few suggested changes to the Develop Module defaults that I think could really help reduce repetitive tasks.
1) Make "Remove Chromatic Aberration" checked by default. This new feature works fantastically well and simplifies workflows when utilized. Unfortunately, with it unchecked so many users don't take the time to enable it and loose out on the improved quality it provides. It's works so well with no apparent downsides that I've seen.
2) Lower the Vignetting Midpoint in both Lens Corrections and Effects Panels. The default Midpoint values produces a vignetting quality that's obvious and unnatural. Lower Midpoint values produce a more subtle and natural vignetting quality that I find photographers to universally prefer. I'd like to see the midpoint values at 0 or 10.
3) Increase the Post Crop Vignetting Feather value. The default Feather value "0" produces a vignetting quality that's obvious and unnatural. Higher Feather values produce a more subtle and natural vignetting quality that I find photographers to universally prefer. I'd like to see the feather value at 100 or 90.
I currently use a Develop Preset to automate these tasks upon import but I think if any of these changes were implemented in a future version I think it would help the marjory of users to get the desired results with reduced effort. Thanks for listening!
