Copy Adjustments

I'm running iPhoto '11 (version 9.2.1)
Maybe I'm missing something, but in the old iPhoto (7?) I used to be able to make adjustments (e.g. exposure, tint, sharpness, etc.) to a photo, then copy those adjustments and paste them to another photo.  I found this feature to be very useful.
Is this feature available in iPhoto '11?
Also... I thought it was better when the photo showed up full screen with an adjustments panel floating above it instead of in an editor window on the side.  Is there a way to set it up "the old way"?
Thanks.

Edit menu -> Copy Adjustments & Paste Adjustments. Note the keyboard shortcuts there too.
Afraid not. iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and tell the developers what you think

  • Copying Adjustments from One Work Station to Another

    I have several computers, three of which are Macs and two of which I use for image processing. They are all networked but I can't figure out how to copy the work I do at one workstation to another workstation. Each has its own Aperture library and it seems impractical (perhaps impossible) to use a library on a network drive.
    While I can easily export a version as an image, I can't see a way to export the adjustment information for a selected image and transfer it from one Aperture library to another. In Lightroom, this is easy. I just export the information to an XMP file, transfer the XMP file to the other workstation, open Lightroom there and import from the XMP file(s). Viola! I now have all the adjustments I had made at the previous workstation and can continue exactly where I left off. I can't find an equivalent of this in Aperture. It seems the only way to do this is to export an entire project and then import it to the other library. Is that correct?

    Correct. With Aperture the only way to share adjustments is to export projects from one machine and import them on another.
    Having 3 machines where you work on Aperture independently is a way to have a complicated workflow. It's best to have a primary machine, and perhaps a laptop you take for field work, where you export projects when you return to the studio and import them to your primary machine. That works great.

  • Copying adjustments from one image in series to another

    I did a shoot where, under the same lighting conditions, all shots need basically the same adjustments in terms of color temp, saturation, etc.
    I know there's a way that after I get one to where I like it, I can copy those adjustments to all the other images, but I can't find it.
    Could someone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks a lot.
    John

    John, you should see the effects immediately, assuming of course that the develop settings you are pasting produce a visible result compared to the previous settings. To be sure of your testing, I'd suggest making an obvious adjustment to exposure like vastly underexposing the image so that when you paste it, you'll immediately see it. You can always Undo the changes after once you've got things working.
    I really don't know what else to say; this has always worked simply and smoothly. If you're getting the Copy Settings dialog and selecting All and then clicking OK, pasting is simply a matter of selecting the images you want the adjustments to go to and then choosing the Paste Settings command.

  • Copy/paste adjustments or just one?

    Hello,
    I have to edit 400+ photo's.
    All photo's need to be:
         1. enhanced
         2. straigthened -1,2 degrees
         3. cropped
    I did this manually on one photo.
    Then chose
         Edit=>Copy Adjustments
    moved to the next photo and chose
         Edit=>Paste Adjustments
    Instead of applying the three adjustments, iPhoto only applied one (the "enhance") adjustment.
    The options are called "Copy/paste adjustments" so I expected it to be able to apply more then one adjustment at once . . .
    Isn't this true?
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Kind regards,
    emeu1

    For that amount of images this

  • Can't Paste Adjustments

    I'm trying to copy adjustments from one clip and paste them to another.
    As outlined in the manual, I applied the desired adjustments to the first clip. Then, I selected the clip in its entirety and chose Edit > Copy. Then, I Command-clicked the clip I wanted to copy the adjustments to, and chose Edit > Paste Adjustments. However, all of the paste options are grayed out. I've tried with multiple clips and no luck.
    Anyone else having the same problem, or have a fix?

    I think pasting only works if the clips are in a Project not just in the Event library.

  • Copy images to new computer, but keep settings in Aperture - How?

    My subject pretty much sums it up. I have two computers running aperture. I want to copy my images & adjustments made in Aperture, to the new computer while keeping the adjustments & ratings, etc.
    Here's the goal:
    1. Download images to my computer for backup.
    2. Copy images to External Hard Drive for Computer #2.
    3. Let assistant edit/rate photos on Computer #2.
    4. When done, copy adjustments/ratings/photos to Computer #1.
    How do I do this?
    Thanks,
    Josh
    PS. I tried just copying the referenced files to Computer #2, but it didn't keep the settings.

    In that case, if you have 2 machines, here's what I'd recommend:
    On the machine you're using for remote shoots, use a managed library (keep the shots in Aperture). On the weekly basis, export the projects from the wedding(s) you shoot in their entirety. Import them to the other machine, and at that point convert to a referenced library.
    I don't do weddings but I shoot landscape and this is how I handle managing my shots between the MacBook Pro I travel with, and the Quad G5 I use in the office.

  • Can you apply edits from one photo to another

    I frequently take a series of images of the same subject (usually a bird). What I often need to do is apply essentially the same edits to all of the images (I say "essentially" because I'll probably need to adjust the position of the crop and the description will also need tweaking). Is there a way of doing this directly in the iPhoto interface (if so, I can't find it)? Or indirectly by duplicating the xmp file of the first image and (by renaming and relocating) apply it to a second and other images? Because I'm working with Camera Raw images, this latter approach is easy with Adobe's Bridge but iPhoto seems to use a hashing mechanism to name the support files making it difficult to work out which file needs duplicating and where to put and what to call the duplicate.
    Has anyone faced and licked this issue?
    Dave

    In iPhoto's Edit menu there is Copy adjustments and Paste adjustments.
    This will duplicate basic edits (like enhance or adjust) but I don't think it will crop & fill in descriptions etc.
    There is also the Photo's menu > Batch change that can handle Title, date & description fields en-masse. Just select the desired photos to make the menus active.

  • Editing/Exporting from a collection

    If I import photos into my lightroom library like a wedding then create a collection of that wedding and chooose the photos I want for that collectio. Then I edit the collection I am confused if my edits stay edited for export. Sometimes I see little  /- boxes in the bottom corner and when I click on a photo it changes. the sometimes they will all change to a different edited version??? I need to make sure the collection I edit, STAYS edited the way I did it. Isnt it supposed to do that? PLEASE help me understand this...

    I cannot help an answer, but some images to explain-
    With ONE image selected on the filmstrip in develop module, you will see "Previous" and "Reset" buttons. "Previous" will copy the adjustments to the next single image you select.
    With TWO or more images selected on the filmstrip,you will see "Sync..." and "Reset".  Clicking "Sync" will copy adjustments from visible Master selected image to secondary selections (one or more).
    With TWO or more images selected on the filmstrip, AND you set the SWITCH 'up' ,you will be automatically syncing every adjustment you make to the visible image onto every other selected image. Useful for global adjustments on many images eg. white balance. Caution-Remember to turn if off!

  • Lightroom Won't Start!!!

    I downloaded and installed lightroom 1.0 on my laptop. Works great. However, when installed on my desktop, it won't start at all. I've searched this forum and don't see anything so I'm looking for suggestion.
    My system is a intel e6600 with 2gb ram. I'm running a raid 0 for my OS and wondering if this is the problem. I know cs2 had problems with holding activation setting in a raid 0 environment but I can't even get to a splash screen to enter my license number.
    Thanks in advance for any help . . .

    Look, I appreciate the help (sarcastic or not) but reading the compatibility issues, I don't read anything here that helps me to get Lightroom to start. When I double click on an icon or the application file, nothing happens.
    Windows Vista Compatibility.
    Windows Vista is a brand new operating system from Microsoft and has not been available in its final form long enough for Adobe to fully certify Lightroom for use on Vista. Adobe is working hard to finalize support or Vista as quickly as possible and will deliver appropriate software updates over the launch period.
    Lightroom 1.0 will install and run on Windows Vista but Adobe cannot guarantee the quality of the software experience until final testing is completed.
    Known issues for using Lightroom 1.0 on the Vista operating system are listed below:
    1.
    Lightroom CD and DVD burning tools will not currently function
    2.
    Importing files directly from a Camera or Card Reader may not function properly. Please copy files to a local hard drive via the operating system before importing the files into Lightroom.
    Working with Lightroom 1.0 and Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw
    Lightroom and Photoshop Camera Raw share the same image processing technology to ensure consistent and compatible results across applications that support raw processing. These applications include:
    Photoshop CS2, Photoshop Elements 4.0, Photoshop Elements 5.0 and Premiere Elements 3.0.
    Photoshop Camera Raw 3.7
    Adobe applications must be updated with the Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in in order to ensure compatibility with Lightroom 1.0 develop module settings. Photoshop CS2 users can update the Camera Raw plug-in automatically using the Update tool listed under the Help menu. The Camera Raw 3.7 plug-in can also be downloaded and installed manually by visiting the Adobe web site: www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/cameraraw.html
    Please follow the installation instructions carefully.
    Sharing Lightroom Settings with Camera Raw 3.7
    By default, Lightrooms develop module settings are stored in Lightrooms database. In order to ensure that Lightroom develop settings can be viewed by Camera Raw 3.7 the settings must be written to the XMP metadata block for that file. This metadata is stored in an XMP sidecar file (Imagename.xmp) in the current image directory of proprietary raw files or stored directly within DNG files. To update images with the latest develop settings, choose the library module and select the group of target images. Choose the Export XMP Metadata to File option in the Metadata:XMP file menu.
    Note: This menu option is only available in the Lightroom Library.
    Viewing Lightroom settings in Camera Raw 3.7
    Before working in conjunction with Lightroom and Camera Raw please set the Camera Raw preference to: Save image settings in: Sidecar ".xmp" files. By default Camera Raw will display the image adjustments exactly as performed in Lightrooms develop module.
    However, at this time Camera Raw 3.7 is unable to support further adjustments to the following settings or tools:
    1.
    Recovery
    2.
    Fill Light
    3.
    Vibrance
    4.
    HSL
    5.
    Grayscale
    6.
    Red Eye Reduction
    7.
    Clone/Heal
    The controls currently available in Camera Raw 3.7 will continue to function normally and provide incremental edits beyond those performed in Lightroom.
    The Lightroom adjustments that are not available in Camera Raw 3.7 can be cleared by choosing the Clear Imported Settings option in the Camera Raw settings menu.
    Viewing Camera Raw settings in Lightroom
    Raw files edited by previous versions of Camera Raw files will maintain their previous appearance when imported into Lightroom. Note: Those files must have been edited with the preference set to Save image settings in: Sidecar .xmp files in order for Lightroom to respect the previous edit. Files edited in Camera Raw after importation into Lightroom can be updated in Lightroom by choosing the Import XMP Metadata from File from the Metadata:XMP file menu.
    Note: This menu option is only available in the Lightroom Library.
    Additional Notes on Camera Raw and Lightroom:
    1.
    Camera Raw will only read the current settings for the primary image in the Lightroom Library.
    2.
    Virtual Copy adjustments and Snapshot adjustments will not be displayed or available in Camera Raw 3.7
    3.
    Camera Raw 3.7 continues to provide support for only raw file formats.
    4.
    Lightroom is able to perform non-destructive editing on JPEG, TIFF and PSD file formats.
    Flash Card Downloading and Vista
    If you are using Vista.
    Right click on the " Lightroom Icon" find your way to the compatibility Tab and click on run as WinXP Service Pack 2.
    This seems to allow you to import in any format i.e. Raw or DNG.
    NAS units and Network drives
    NAS units are a high priority with the Lightroom team further information will be provided at a later date.
    At present Lightroom does not directly support network drives.
    Unconfirmed at present - NVidia's NView Desktop Manager may cause problems with Lightroom.
    Workaround - If you have this manager (and are having problems) please disable the NVidia's NView Desktop Manager on your computer.
    The option to change NView should be found by going to control panel and opening the NVidia NView icon.
    Lightroom does not recognize Photoshop CS2 - Windows
    Perform this at your own risk.
    Here's how to fix it:
    1) Run regedit.exe from start menu->run
    2) Look for this folder:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\photoshop.exe
    In that folder, there should be a key "Path" and its value should be the folder where Photoshop CS2 (or any other Photoshop version) is installed."
    If your registry does not have that folder, created it and add a "Path" key with the value being the path to Photoshop CS2:
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2\
    You cannot create a library in a Windows Compressed Folder
    And it certainly is a good thing. You don't want to suffer the decrease in speed if you install a database into a compressed folder.

  • Selection tool in aperture

    Does anyone know of a selection/cutting tool in aperture? Similar to the Lasso tool in PS? Cheers.

    Sorry, no,
    With the lasso tool in PS you select arbitrarily shaped regions and modify them or copy them to the clipboard. This not possible in Aperture - Arperture does not support compositing of images, only adjusting, but that in a very direct way.
    You can select to crop a image
    and you can apply adjustments locally to regions based on luminance (highlights, shadows, midtones) or on masks defined by the path of the brush strokes.
    You can clone arbitrary shapes from one region of the image to another part of the same image using the clone-brush.
    To copy adjustments between images use "Lift&Stamp".
    Cheers

  • Aperture will not assign keywords to multiple photos

    Recently I have not been able to assign keywords to multiple photos simultaneously. I also have the same problem when I try to copy adjustments and stamp to multiple photos. Only the one with the main selection is processed. Is this a bug in the newest Aperture (3.4.5)?
    Edit:
    Sorry, I found the solution and wasn't able to delete the question: The problem was that the Primary Only button was active.
    Message was edited by: Ernst Vikne

    You may have the "Primary Only" flag set. Then keywords, ratings, etc will only be applied to the primary selection. Turn it off in Aperture's "Edit" menu: Edit > Primary Only or press the button with the framed "1".
    Regards
    Léonie
    You may want to have a look at this User Tip:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?

  • Brush-painted mask in Afer Effects

    Good afternoon,
    after some online research I still cannot find how to make a very simple thing - paint a mask to an adjustment layer. I am trying to make the area under the shoe more even by using curves and painting appropriate masks for them.
    Image 2014-09-17 at 12.58.22 pm.png
    What is the easiest approach to get this done?

    Not sure I have explained myself clearly. I want to even out the shadow area underneath the show - merely turn down the exposure value of brighter areas around it and bringin up the shadow area itself. Only manipulating luminosity of pixels.
    I am more intrigued by masking options - is there a way to create easily nice and smooth masks via brush as it is done so often for stills in PS? I know I can use PS but once you start running into longer sequences, copying adjustments layers over tens or hundreds of frames is not sustainable.

  • Is there any way to copy a photo with Lightroom adjustments without making a separate copy?

    I do most of my printing from lightroom. I generally set up my image the way I want it for printing on photo paper, and then I make other copies and adjustments for printing on things like Canvas, coffee cups, tiles, etc.
    The problem I have is I set up templates in photoshop, say for a coffee cup, which will have the correct dimensions, perhaps some text, etc. To get to the lightroom photo with the lightroom adjustments I have to "edit a copy with lightroom adjustments" in photoshop, then copy and paste the image to the template in photoshop. Now I have another copy of the image on my harddrive and in lightroom. So after I copy the image in photoshop, I close it go back to lightroom and delete the copy I just made. Besides the extra fragging on the harddrive this creates, I know I am setting myself to delete the wrong photo by accident through repetition, and it is extra work.
    How can get a copy of a photo with Lightroom adjustments to the clipboard without making another physical copy of the photo?
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Godspeed,
    Bruce

    I may not be the best resource for tiles and cups, I've just started printing to them. Basically I'm doing them using an epson printer with dye sublimation inks printing on transfer paper and then doing the transfer at 400 degrees with a press. I wanted to be able to do my own to get the cost down, and wanted to be able to make it actually usable, (dishwasher safe, etc) so this is the best route I've found. I had to get a new printer, 2 presses, a bulk ink system, and the supplies to print on so it is a pretty hefty up front expense. It can be done cheaper though using a mug wrap heated in an oven (not your cooking oven though). I worked with the folks at Conde to get set up, and they seem pretty good. But I'm still early in the learning curve, so I would be able to tell you a lot more in 6 months.

    I installed Photoshop CC (2014) yesterday through the Creative Cloud app. Now, when in Lightroom when I go to "edit in"and select Photoshop CC (2014) and click on "edit copy with Lightroom adjustments",  it opens Photoshop CC (2014) but my photo doesn't show up?  My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
    How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.
