These are great, and I learned a lot thank you! There are a couple of other tricks that might help. You can create a Virtual Copy in either the Library or Develop module. Develop lets you sync settings without having to go back to Library, although it may be easier to pick the ones you want to sync on the grid in Library. Similarly, in Develop mode, Command-C copies the settings of one image. Select other desired images and hit Command-V to copy settings. When starting out in Develop, I often fix Lens Corrections and white balance in the first photo of a series, Select All (Command-A on a Mac), and hit Sync.

Great video! I'm thinking of purchasing the new Lightroom CC and I was just wondering, does anyone know if it has the same options in terms of radial and gradient filters and selective editing as Lightroom Classic?
