I have an action that will do all three - I typically queue up a collection in Bridge and batch process a day's shooting after the files are downloaded from the camera. The flow goes something like: Canon Digital Photo Professional -> Review and Sort in Bridge -> Apply AWB/AL/UM Action as Batch in PS. I haven't yet progressed to the point where I can trust an automated process with very special or important shots (still like to tweak those by hand the long way) Can't beat CS4 for sorting through 500 shots of a concert and posting a couple of dozen to flickr or FB that same evening, though. Probably cheaper ways to get the job done, but not more painless ones. I seemed to use the AWB/Auto Level/Unsharp Mask quite a bit.

HTH.

I apply the Low Clarity preset to every picture upon import. I also have some NR and Sharpening presets for RAW, for night shooting. I also have presets for Printing to file...for different sizes, e.g. 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, coupled w/ the appropriate printer profile. In LR2, I have some Clarity Presets,, Low=+20 and Med=+40.
