I will speak specifically towards wedding photography, however this technique can be used for any situation in which you want to pre-program your lighting setup for different looks to be adjusted in seconds.
If you are unfamiliar with the Flash Control Menu here is what it looks like, which is set to where I generally begin all flash fine-tuning for a wedding reception with three off camera and one on camera SB-5000.
