P: Allow Adaptive Profiles (Color/Mono) to be applied on import in LRc

I can currently apply existing profiles, such as Adobe Color, with AutoTone on importing images. For many of my volume images, such as in basketball arenas, this has given a good initial image that needs few adjustments to complete and quickly be able to deliver my images.

 

initial testing of the new Adaptive Color profile shows that it is providing superior results.  Unfortunately, the current implementation in 14.2 does not execute the profile.  This requires a separate, time consuming step to do an AI update.

 

please allow the Adaptive Profiles to be applied and execute during the import stem.

    "If I import, with an Adaptive Color (only) preset and 'Standard previews', the previews are built but the Adaptive profile needs to be updated.  After updating, the previews are not updated until the image(s) are then viewed/selected in subsequent processing."

     

    Others have complained here that when you apply a setting or command to a batch of photos, previews aren't updated until their thumbnails become visible:

    See here for a plugin that corrects that:

    Further usage seems to expose another problem.  If I import, with an Adaptive Color (only) preset and 'Standard previews', the previews are built but the Adaptive profile needs to be updated.  After updating, the previews are not updated until the image(s) are then viewed/selected in subsequent processing.  This adds to additional confusion and delays.
