Can I normalize a group of photos?

One of my gigs is as a school photographer. When looking at all the photos as a group there are slight variations in the levels and tones. My way of dealing with this is to go through them in LR one by one and make adjustments to make them all look like they have the same tone and levels. I typically do this with the the highlights, shadows and sometimes the exposure sliders.
Is there a way that I can define what I want an image to look like in terms of it's "brightness" and then automate a process that will make all the photos in a group look the same?
I can use either Lightroom or Photosho CS to accomplish this. I have a Creative Cloud subscription if there's any other tool or application that will help me.
BTW - I've looked for somethng like this online for a while and thee seems to be a lot of interest in it. Any chance of this becoming a feature?
Thanks,
Ed Beck

I suppose that's what specialized plug-ins like some portrait tools do... Look into that.

How can I rotate a group of photos

I have several hundred photos I need to rotate. I recall I can do this as a group if I select them. Can someone share how I do this?

Same as everywhere else in the OS.
1. Click to select
2. Command-click to add to the selection
3. To select a contiguous group: click on the first item, then shift-click on the last to select all in between
4. Draw a box with the mouse across the items.

How do I consolidate all of my events into one big group of photos so I can see them all?

The title says it all. How do I consolidate all of my events into one big group of photos so I can see them all? Instead a bunch of events.

drag them together
Or click on Photo in the source pane on the left and under the view menu uncheck show event titles

I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

Go back to the editor and close the photo there.

Don't you mean Photos or are you still using iPhoto with 10.10.3?
Normally one gets the preview version of a photo or the edited version if it's been edited when dragging from a thumbnail to the Desktop. Don't know how you would have gotten small thumbnail versions.

How can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad

how can I easily remove a group of photos from my iPad?

Iif the photos were synced to the iPad they can only be removed by connecting to iTunes on your computer, unselecting the photos folder that you synced to the iPad and then follow that with a sync.
IF the photos are in the camera roll, open the camera roll album, tap the as select button in the upper right corner, tap on each photo that you want to delete in order to select them and then tap the trash can icon.

Can you sort groups in Photos

The Library/Photos contains groups of photos.
Is there a way to sort them by the name of the groups?
thanks

I have the Library/Photos icon selected - not events.
Here is an image:

Displaying A Group of Photos

Is the best (only) way to display a group of photos by creating a photo album? If so, I read that it's best to create a one w/Adobe Bridge rather than the web photo gallery feature under Commands in Dreamweaver.
Thoughts?

Displaying photos is highly subjective. You can put all your images in a CSS styled proof sheet like this:
http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/CSS-Semi-liq-photo-sheet.shtml
Or you can use jQuery or Lightbox plug-ins to create really slick slideshows & Galleries with all manner of bells & whistles. What it comes down to is a) which features you need and b) how much effort you want to put into it.
57 Free Image Gallery, Slideshow and Lightbox Solutions -
http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/resources/57-free-image-gallery-slideshow-and-lightbox-solut ions/
Obviously if you're a professional photographer you may need a sophisticated gallery with e-com solutions to sell prints on-line. If this is a hobby/personal site, you may need far less. So to say "this" or "that" product is best for everyone isn't realistic.
Also have a look at http://www.JAlbum.net Download the software and take a test drive. It's free and has a LOT of great features.
Good luck,

App or Function to display size of grouped multiple photos / videos?

Hi to all the community!
Have searched a few forums for answer to this as well as experimenting with various apps but cannot fulfill what i thought would be a simple requirement...
All i want to acheive is to see the combined file size (aka 'space taken up in MB or GB') of a group of photos / videos stored locally to my iPad. I have no acces to my home desktop or laptop with itunes on it as i am travelling the globe, so i'm looking for a solution that is done entirely on the iPad with either an app i have yet to discover or a work around using the iPads functions.
Would be great if when you created a photo album in the photo app it could display the size in mb of your collected images and videos, but alas this is not possible. My photos and vids have pretty much all been imported via the camera connection kit (so not taken usign the ipads camera).
Also i am not currently running iOS 6 so apologies if this functionality has been added in the update... I am lookign for an iOS 5 solution.
Prepared to face the fact that its simply not possible but since photoshack pro (which i tend to use in place of the slghtly cumbursome 'photos' file system) can show at least the size of individual files, seemingly not folders/albums though, that it must possible?
Yours hopefully!

Interesting Usafvmi08! I completely understand your concern and would want my pictures/ media saved as well. Let's figure this out.
First, the good thing is everything is backed up since you can access it all via your PC or iPad. Please try removing the app from your device, restart phone, then re-download and try again. Let's see if this makes your current media available.
Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Lightroom 3- How do I batch process a group of photos with the same preset?

Using Lightroom 3/Mac. Attempting to apply a preset to a group of photos. I read the forum already but what I read didn't make sense to me. Sorry. Also wondering if anyone else is plagued by Lightroom's tendency to take over the monitor. Whenever I want to switch to another application, I end up having to "Hide Lightroom" to get it to move. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

If you are on Windows, you can use this autohotkey script to minimize (#n) and restore (#b) Lightroom (# means win-start key):
=================================
    Get unique window identifier of Lightroom's main app window.
    Initial motivation: Make sure Lightroom will be the recipient of emitted keystrokes.

        Lightroom (x%)

    ahk_class is AgWinMainFrame
GetLightroomWindowID()

        WinGet, id, list, ahk_pid %lr_pid%
    } else {

            continue
        if InStr( this_title, "Lightroom" ) {
            if (lr_win_id = 0) {
                lr_win_id := this_id
            } else { ; redundent

How do you auto tone a group of photos. I selected them all and tried to auto tone but it keeps doing only one

How do you auto tone a group of photos. I tried command a to select all and then auto tone but it only did one Photo. I troes several times and yes all photos were selected

In Develop you can highlight a group of thumbnails in the filmstrip, then right-click and choose Develop Settings -> Auto Tone
In Library you can highlight a group of thumbnails in the Grid and click the Auto Tone button in the Quick Develop area.
What you can’t do is click the Auto button in Develop and have it do more than one photo—this is by design, except, maybe if you have Auto Sync enabled.

How Do I Sort a Group of Photos on the Same Page with the same Keyword Tag?

I want to group similar photos on the same page with the same keyword tag. I have tried dragging and dropping without any success. Can anyone help?

Create an album, then search using a keyword. Select all the photos produced by the search and drag them into the album.
You can drag photos into any order in Albums and they remain in your chosen order.

How do I rename a group of photos ?

I can t find a way to rename a group of photos at the same time as I did in Aperture. Has anyone a solution ?

There isn't a Batch Change option

I want to export a group of photos from iphoto.

I want to export a group of photos from iphoto. I want them to stay in the same order that I put them in. So far when I export, the photos sort according to date or name. I want them to stay in manual sort the way I set them up in the album.
I also want to import them in that order to another program. I am going to try to import them into Final Cut Pro 7. I still want them in the sorted order.
Can this be done?
jibetack

So, in other words, it can't be done. Once the photos are exported they lose the order I had them in in iphoto.
Not at all
typically the easiest way it to export from iPhoto using the sequential file name option and then view in alpha order
and
What is a better software to organize and sift through photos than iphoto?
None as far as I am concerned - that is strictly a personal decision that you have to make for yourself - Only you know what features you want - no one else does
