Develop Multiple Photos

In Lightroom 3 I could highlight multiple photos in the develop film strip and apply any (I believe) develop setting to all of them simultaneously. In Lightroom 4 the develop setting seems only to apply to the first of the highlighted pictures. I hope I am not missing something obvious. Thanks.

Yes, Auto Sync. Thanks!

Applying develop presets to multiple photos

Is there a way to do this. If I select multiple photos and click on a preset, it only applies it to the first one. Using copy & paste or Sync is not an option as I see it because one does not know which settings to tick / untick in the copy or sync dialog boxes to get the same results for each photo. Ticking all settings will do more harm than good if I understand it correctly.
Am I being daft or is this a shortcoming of LR 1.0 ?

Or in Library module, select all of the images, and right-click and
select Develop Settings and choose your preset. You'll also find them
in a dropdown list in the Quick Develop panel in Library module.

Can't Paste Develop Settings to Multiple Photos

I'm running Lightroom V3.2, and I have about 100 pictures I took at a concert. I tweaked the exposure, brightness, etc, and the noise reduction, and copied the develop settings. If I paste the settings onto any one photo, the paste works great. However, I want to paste these settings to all 100 photos at once. In the filmstrip, I select multiple photos, and no matter how I paste it (typically with the big paste button on the lower left of the develop screen) the settings are applied to only the right-most selected photo in the filmstrip. I've tried everything I can think of but I can't get the settings to apply to multiple photos at once. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

That did it, thanks for the speedy reply!!!
Wow, is that functionality confusing though...

Develop: copy after to before for multiple photos?

Is there a way to copy after settings to the before settings (that of each photo) for multiple photos?
I find that I forget to do that after editing a photo. Then saving edits back to the file (cmd-S) flushes the before settings. I've been visiting every single photo to copy the 'after' settings to the 'before' settings.
Thanks.

Hi All -- I'm going to ask this question again as the issue continues to vex me.
I'm now using LR 2.2. The changes flushed to a image file (I use DNG) reflect the current 'before settings' in the develop module. In order to get recent develop module changes into the image file, one has to first execute "Copy After's Settings to Before", then save the image settings (cmd-S). That seems totally reasonable.
Here's my problem. I visit lots of images making edits. I don't always remember to "Copy After's Settings to Before" after making edits. In order to determine which image's I've made changes to I step through all my images in the develop module using the before/after view, executing "Copy After's Settings to Before". This is a big hassle. I need a better approach. First I don't always know which images I've edited and I usually don't care anyway. What I want is a macro that will perform "Copy After's Settings to Before" for multiple images. Is there such a feature or is this missing from LR?

Deleting multiple photos in Develop Module?

Trying to delete multiple photos is not working for me. Even though I select several images at once and click to delete images from disk only 1 image is deleted. Is this a glitch? GPBob

Here's how to...
1. Go to Library mode from 5 menu options on top right corner.
2. Press (G) on your keyboard for Grid view mode.
3. CTRL+mouse click to select multiple images.
4. Once you are ready to delete the photos, Press DELETE button on your keyboard or Right click on one of the selected images and choose Delete Photos option.
Note that when you are in Develop Mode and choose multiple photos from bottom row, it only deletes the one you are seeing in the main display like you are experiencing. I'm assuming you are pressing DELETE button on your keyboard to delete. However, if you Right click one of the selected images and choose Delete Photos option, you'll be able to delete all the photos you have selected.
Hope that helps.

LR 5.4 changing exposure on multiple photos on it's own

Using LR 5.4, fully patched on Mac Book Pro also all patched up (10.9.2). I process 800 - 1000 photos at a time from sports events, use presets a lot, also autosync to save time. Yesterday though, after completion of the process, suddenly lightroom started reverting the exposure back to a darker level, on some, but not all photos. Right in front of my eyes. Did not have multiple photos selected, nor autosync on. had only one photo selected, did not click on any preset. It seems to have left other settings (clarity, HSL, Lens Corrections, etc) alone. Any ideas? I spent a lot of time getting things right only to now have to go back and fix those photos that were affected.

Hi Rob,
If you mean the history list for any one photo, on the left hand side, no. Are there other history logs I should look at? But no, I've been post processing this way for a few years now. Just started happening after the last batch I imported last Saturday. Actually did not start until I had finished post and uploaded the picked and processed photos to one site, then was uploading to my personal site and noticed in looking at the thumbnails that some were suddenly way underexposed. Went back to LR and noticed same thing.
Then while I was in develop mode some of the thumbnails across the bottom started getting their exposure shifted back, just like you'd be applying a preset or autosync, but I only had one photo selected at the time.

Applying relative curve changes to multiple photos

Is there a way to apply same changes to the tonal curve to multiple photos while keeping their curve shapes relatively intact? For example, I want to make all Darks and Shadows 20 points lower. I know I can't make it with a preset as it contains absolute, not relative figures. I want something like Quick Develop (which are relative) except applied to the curve itself. Perhaps there's a mass edit plugin?

Look what the most helpful Rob Cole has done: DevAdjust Lightroom Plugin!

Fix multiple photo keywording in bottom slide!

Adding keywords to a selection of multiple photos in the Bottom slide (not the grid) does not work.
I noticed I like to use the slide instead of the grid.
By habit I also started to use it for keywording, to find out later it only give the keywords to the first selected photo and skips the rest.
Hope this can be fixed soon, your bound to make mistakes this way and there is no warning. (I figured out what was wrong after keywording 7000 photos...)
For the moment hide the bottom slide show when keywording, just to be save!

This is deliberate. The Filmstrip is the same in all modules and it needs to work this way in Develop so one does not inadvertently alter more than one picture, unless you turn on Auto Sync instead of Sync...
This gives you two ways to work. One in the GRid and one in the FIlmstrip. Just takes soem getting used to.
I know this is a Feature Request FOrum. But given the intantion on the part of Adobe, I don't think it will be changed soon.

Printing multiple photos without border

This forum itself illustrates something is wrong. There is no category or listing for 'Printing'.
I want to print multiple photos on a single vertical A4 sized page, without borders.
I can't do that easily. I have done it before, but keep forgetting the work-around that I had to develop each time I've done it.
I want to resize the photos to get them on the page.
I can't do that easily. I have done it before, but keep forgetting the work-around that I had to develop each time I've done it.
In older versions of iPhoto, there were several options for printing, including something called 'N-up'. Click on that, and select how many photos per page, and then print.
This version of iPhoto has no such option. It is very very very difficult to print six or four or nine or eight or even two large photos on a single vertical A4 page, and there is no excuse for that. I can get something that with Simple Border or Contact Sheet, but most of the page is empty white wasted space.
How can I resize the photos to get several on a Simple Border layout? Why is this so very difficult to do?
Frustrated, Isshi.

Never mind.

Thank you, LarryHN.

If I open a photo in "preview", multiple photos open. I just want to open one, but can't figure out how to do it.

I keep multiple photos in a desktop folder to be quickly accessed by using Preview. But when I try to open ONE photo, it opens multiple photos. Can't figure out how to display just the single one that I select. OS 10.7.2

This is the resume feature of Lion. The last state of the application is saved when quitting (i.e last pictures viewed in Preview, last videos viewed in Quicktime etc).
You can switch it off for Preview by copy and pasting the following in to the terminal application
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false

Can't email multiple photos

i received my new iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1 about a week Or two ago, and it's workjng great. Today I tried to email my mom about 4 pictures from the camera roll/photo album As I always have. unfortunately, after I clicked the mail icon, I was taken to the "add account" screen. If I try to add my gmail account, or even my hotma accont, it tells me the account is already set up.
Some some steps ive tried are: resetting network setting, resetting ALL settings, deleting all accounts, resetting phone and adding the accounts back in. My gmail account is set as the default mail account, I can send and receive fine. If I click the "more" button from within an email, I can add a single photo just fine. My email send and receives fine.
Anyome have any idea how to fix this? certainly not a huge problem, but annoying nonetheless.

tthough I had tried this before, I attempted it again when prompted. It setup my hotmail account fine, but instead of taking me to the email with attachments, it leaves me in the settings screen. When I go back and try to send them again from the camera roll, it briefly said "preparing" then went right back to the "add account" screen.
YEs, sending multiple photos through iMessage or SMS works fine, as does every other option other than email.

HT201317 how can I add multiple photos to camera roll

how can I add multiple photos to camera roll

If you mean from photo stream, open your photo stream album on your phone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.

Emailing multiple photos from camera roll

Search threads but didn't find. Can multiple photos from camera roll be sent in an email on the iPhone 4

In round about way yes.
Go to photos.
In thumbnail view click menu item (think moved to top right in iOS4) to enable multiselect.
Select photos (up to 5 ... sorta) and then you can click share.
The sorta part is that if you do more than 5 the share will go away, but you can still select more, then choose copy, then go open email and paste in more than 5.

Scan in mutiple photos in one file, can I crop multiple photos...

at same time?
I don't know how to scan multiple photos as distinct file. I scan 5-6 pics it comes out at one file that I import into iPhoto. While it's very easy to crop each photo out of the file, I have to import the file as many times as there are photos
to crop.
I hope I've been clear. Is there a smarter way to work. I don't see a way to scan
the 5-6 pics as different files in my scanner software.
Thanks

Joshua:
Vuescan is a 3rd party scanning application which can do batch scanning but is a little more difficult to set up. It works with most scanners.
If you have a Canon scanner you can scan in multiple photos at one time and have the scanner software crop, not as close as I'd like, each one individually and present to you in the editor of your choice or the one that comes with it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
