Hi,
i'm just in the process of removing noise from my photos in lightroom classic and im trying to edit groups of photos with similar isos , for example anything from 320 to 1000 then say 2000 to 400, 4000 to 6400, my highest iso is 12800 and as ive been on auto iso i have a lot of images with varied iso , i have 349 images and didnt want to have to edit each one individually which will take forever ! So is there a way to grab all the ones under 1000 and apply noise reduction then set another range and all those photos that fall within that range are highlighted and apply noise reduction to them ?? Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

1. Use the Metadata browser of the Library Filter bar to select photos with given ISOs:
Click on the first desired ISO and Cmd/Ctrl-click to select additional ISOs.
2. Select all the filtered photos and edit one in Develop.
3. Adjust the Detail settings as desired.
4. Click Sync in the lower-right of Develop:
5. Click Check None and then check Noise Reduction and any other settings you want to copy to all the selected photos.
Some will suggest turning on Auto Sync, but I strongly advise against that unless you are regularly editing batches of photos to have identical settings. There are many reports of people forgetting to turn off Auto Sync, and it can be very painful or impossible to recover from the mistaken edits.

As dj_paige indicated, you can set default Noise Reduction settings for a particular camera and specific ISO, but that won't help with your existing photos. And if you have a large range of ISOs from automatic exposures, you'd have to set a default for each separate ISO.
