Speed Things Up By Making a Preset?

If you use the same Import settings again and again, there’s no sense in inputting them every time from scratch, so make a preset. Open the Import window (Command-Shift-I [PC: Ctrl-Shift-I]) and enter all your favorite settings. Then, at the bottom center of the window, choose Save Current Settings as New Preset from the Import Preset pop-up menu (as shown above). Now, whenever you open the Import window, you can choose any of the presets you’ve made (here, I’ve made one that converts the images to black and white on import, one for automatically backing up the images to a second attached drive, one that includes smart previews, and then one with my regular old everyday settings).
