A good suggestion but is there a way to have adjustments baked in to the layers on creation?
There is not one that I know of, but I am not sure I follow your reasoning because when you want to work on a new layer you have to select it, which is automatic when you select a new layer. I can't see any significant advantage in creating a bunch of layers with "baked in adjustments" with the way C1 works, but you can always create a preset for a fixed adjustment? Now in PS it is a very different story:-) Perhaps you could elaborate, we all have different workflows and it is enlightening to learn from others, there is always more than one way to skin a cat. No offence intended to cats:-)
Perhaps you could suggest it in the Phaseone forums and see if it attracts attention. That's the best way of getting new features added.
