    I went down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos and ultimately ended up on like… One set of settings I pretty much do for most images.

    Lens Correction. Exposure; click eyedropper

    Basic Adjustments. Color Balance RGB Global Saturation 30% Global Chrome 15% Local Contrast Detail 130%

    Filmic RGB. Click black relative exposure Click white relative exposure

    Crop image

    I would love to hear/read some more stuff. I’m an extremely basic photographer who didn’t want to pay for Adobe.

      Yeah I’d say something like that is my baseline too, usually just some added vibrance instead of saturation on the color balance RGB.

      I think the tone curve, RGB curve, tone equalizer and colour equalizer are useful if you want a bit more if a look in your images

      This is mostly what I use too. Additionally, on images with high ISO I usually add the profiled denoise module, often without changing the default values. If the image has a lot of noise, I sometimes use the preset that only reduces chroma noise (so the image stays grainy, but without the color mismatches)
