What’s in it for me?
The strength of this report is not in its complexity, but in the information and insight this report it provides in your editing behavior.
One photographer said, “I knew that I had to get my sensor cleaned, but that a third of all my adjustments were “spot removal” shocked me.” It showed the time I wasted on that.

Specifications
Your development adjustments tell who you are.
This report answers the question “What adjustments do I use and how often?” The adjustments are both ordered in alphabetical and number order, together with the percentage.
You can choose either to run the report against your whole catalog or just on the images in Quick Collection.
To demonstrate the strength of this little report I asked a well-known photographer for a part of his catalog. I ran the report and showed him the results. See sample report below. What is your first impression? Yes, he should have his camera cleaned. I talked to him and somehow he knew he should, but now he saw that a third of all the development adjustments he made were “Spot Removal”.

Are you a big user of presets, or do you prefer to pull the sliders? Which sliders do you use most and perhaps more important, which do you never use?
