Can you make white balance/exposure adjustments on top of current adjustments across multiple shots?

Hi There,
We have a bunch of shots taken using natural light - the shots all have completely different exposure and white balance adjustments.
Now that the shots feel like they've been shot at the same time of day (and on the same day) we'd like to start adjusting the white balance accross multiple shots - but use the current white balance/exposure from each individual shot as the starting point - not reset the adjustments.
Kind of like baking the current settings or making adjustments on top of current adjustments - or make new adjustments relative to the current adjustments.
Hope that makes sense - is this possible in Lightroom?
Cheers

Quick Develop is for artists, not scientists/engineers - sounds like you know how to use it.
Ya know, some people use Lr with the histogram closed so as not to get distracted by the technical aspects. I could adjust an image using the histogram only, without looking at the image!
FWIW, amount of temp/tint per increment is fixed for RGB files. I never figured out how it decides the increment for raws, but I'd very much like to know it, in order to normalize relative adjustments when a mix of raw & rgb files are selected.
PS - I think the original philosophy was:
1. After importing, take a quick-dev pass in lib module and adjust all the basics in the ball-park, then:
2. Fine tune in dev module one by one, if need be and schedule allows... (yes I know there is auto-sync in dev module, but it adjust things absolutely, and the context of this discussion is relative adjustment).
Via that workflow, there's not so much switching back and forth between lib & dev modules for access to the quick-dev panel during development.
FWIW, it doesn't suit me well-enough either, which is why I invented Gazoo .
Cheers,
Rob

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

    The area on my toolbar where you can change the white balance mode is now gone form my toolbar.  How can I get it back?

    Your basic panel must have been accidentally deselected.
    Simply right-click on one of the other panels e.g. Tone Curve and choose basic again - see image below.
    You can also select solo mode, if you prefer to work in one panel at a time with the others collapsing automatically when you click on another tab.

  • How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

    How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

    Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
    I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

  • Do you have to down load from the internet using apple's recover partition, every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?

    Do you have to down load Mountain Lion from the internet every time you need to do a clean install? or can you make a copy of Mt Lion onto a USB stick and install off that?
    Thanks

    Yes you can make a USB stick of Lion or Mt Lion. Use Lion Disk Maker after you download OS X from the internet.
    For Lion you have to point the download to an external drive and watch when it completes and reboots the system to start the install disconnect the external. If you bought Mt Lion from the Mac App Store then you can download it from there and just cancel the install when it comes up on the desktop.
    If you are downloading from the Recovery HD or from the Online Internet Recovery system, slightly different then the built in Recovery HD, then again you need to point it to an external drive and discoonect that drive when the system reboots to start the real install.
    Then use Lion disk maker to create either a DVD disc or USB thumb of the install files.

    Can you make an animated gif from edge animate?

    not natively. edge exports html and javascript files, not video files, or frames.
    however, you could use a third-party program that has a video screenshot function and make one that way.

  • Can you make captions for a slideshow?

    can you make captions for a slideshow? otherwise how can i rename the photo so that i can select view titles in the slideshow and use it as a caption?

    Jim lo:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't make captions with iPhoto. You can edit the title of a photo by selecting it and then going to the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane, the "i" button, clicking on the title field and enter what text you'd like.
    If you plan on using the slideshow in iDVD then those titles will not show as they will be lost in the "overscan" area that is common to all movies played on TV. You can create the slideshow in iMovie and have lots of control over titles and subtitles and greater control of the audio track, cut, fade in/out, etc.

    Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
    You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    Next your going to follow the Zero Erase and install method for your OS X version, either 10.6 or 10.7, here
    How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
    10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
    Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
    Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
    If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
    If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
    Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.
