What specific results are you looking to achieve quickly? Noise reduction, or perhaps skin smoothing, or is it more just wanting a unified look across a broad range of images?
Photos are peak soccer action to be submitted to the team and USL league right prior to the end of the first half and by the end of the second half. Given they are night matches that start at 7pm, raw captures range in ISO level that require denoising followed by sharpening.The worst of the lot are the second half photos especially early in the year and late autumn where the sun goes down earlier. Starting about now thru mid September they are not so bad and in fact I have a set of automatically applied presets during the import to LR which cleans them up quite well. It's those two extreme ends of the season where extra effort is required to produce acceptable images for transmitting. Then there is the USL Women's League matches that are all held indoors. Nice facility but the LED lighting is far from adequate when it comes to action photography. This dungeon requires ISO 25,600 and higher. All of these photos require a significant amount of editing to produce acceptable results.
