Default Color Preset(DxO Color-check color rendering as shot)

Default Optics Preset(DxO Optics-check Distortion, Chromatic aberration and Vignetting at 100%, check Lateral Chromatic Aberration)

Denoise Preset (DxO Noise check and check Auto)

DxO Lighting Medium Preset–(DxO lighting-check auto settings intensity Medium and Check Fine Settings Auto)

White Balance and Exposure–no good preset, highlight recovery at Light, Raw White Balance As Shot

Sharpness–(no good preset but this can also be accomplished but using the Default_Details setting and unchecking Unsharp Mask) Check DxO Lens Softness with the midline setting (0.00) and Uncheck Unsharp Mask so that further sharpening can be done after all adjustments and resizing are complete.
