In reply to Alfredo. Because in Develop it uses the full raw data, but in Library/import it uses the preview. It is a tradeoff for performance's sake when not in Develop.

Hi Scott,
I also have the same question that Alec Dann & Frank Doyle asked above: “Why the Auto option when applied on in Import is different from the one in Develop?”

I am not an expert photograph so I don’t have either the equipment or trained eyes to judge in which of the two cases Auto works better.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thanks!

In reply to Richard Wentzel. Sure, just create a preset that contains those settings and then apply it on import.

I have followed your advice and have been using Auto Import as a start to my process. Can I add “Lens Correction” to this process ?

In reply to Alec Dann. Yes, this is what I would like to know...why is there a difference?

In reply to BERNARD LEBRUN. In Camera RAW preferences there is an option to specify a preset to be applied when opening new RAW files so that would appear to offer the same functionality as applying on Import in Lightroom. Can specify different presets to apply to different cameras, e.g. to use correct Linear RAW profile.

Scott,

I’ve noticed that the Auto option when applied on in Import is different from the one in Develop. For example, I have an import preset which includes the Auto option. When I view that image later in Develop, I can click the Auto button and see changes in the sliders. This also occurs if I use the Auto option in Library > Quick Develop and then change to Develop and apply Auto

Does this work the same way for the “auto” button under Transform? I use that all the time, but obviously need each image evaluated individually.

In reply to BERNARD LEBRUN.

You don’t import into Camera Raw like you do Lightroom – there’s no Import window or function for applying images on import, so….I’m not sure of a way to do that. Sorry ’bout that.
