In a nutshell I ingest in Photo Mechanic where I caption images and rate them, then in Lightroom CC I crop and add a couple actions that includes contrast -15 to 20, clarity +25, Vibrance +20, sharpening 31 (redius 1.4, detail 15, masking 60) and Noise reduction luminance 31, detail 50, contrast 24, color 50, detail 50, smoothness 50.
Several of those are defaults and I might go in and tweak them. I also often adjust highlights and shadows to taste, based on the image. I honestly don't think I spend more than 30 seconds on an image in CC. I adjust the first, sync all my pics, and go thru and crop and adjust for differing light conditions.
I mostly credit the 1D X for noise control. Cameras today are so far ahead of where they were just 5 years ago. I also shoot RAW.
Thanks for asking.
