Editing many photos at once with a subtlety

I don't know how to phrase this and maybe there's a thread that I've miss about that. So, that's why I'm counting on the community to help me.
For this example, let say that I have two image. The first one is at -0,30 in Exposure and the second one is at 0 Exposure.
I want to ADD 0,30 to bothg image. If I select both image and move the slider, after I apply the change on one image, they'll be both ath the selected value, in this 0,30.
But I don't want the modifictaion to be mirrored, I want the modifictaion to be ADDED.
So, in my example, I would to add 0,30, so my first image would be at 0 and my second image would be 0,30.
Does anyone know how to ADD a modification to a bunch of image and not MIRRORED a modification?
It sounds so simple, I'm sure there's a way to this !
Let me know guys !
Thanks,
Patrice

There have been a number of dicussions about the same idea - you can search the forum for the words "relative adjustment".
Lightroom already does offer this feature, via the Quick Develop tools in the Library module. Changes made there are relative, whether just one image is highlighted or many (there are four arrows - one for a small adjustment UP, one for a large adjustment UP, and the same for DOWN).
This does not include all of the kinds of adjustment found in Develop, but a useful subset. When you alter (say) Exposure using the Library "Quick Develop", you are changing the exact same parameter as in Develop, and getting the same end outcome for a given value - only, one way works relatively on the parameter by incrementing / decrementing the prior setting, and the other way works absolutely by replacing the prior setting with a new one.
Other techniques include applying an adjustment brush over the whole image, or you can make alterations in the Tone Curve panel, and there are various ways to have this same overlald effect repeat onto other images. Sometimes it's helpful to use an independent form of adjustment, to apply a "look" or output-specific correction across many images, or virtual copies thereof, without upsetting their individualised Basic settings. So one can selectively toggle on and off, alter, sync or reset these same adjustments in isolation thereafter.
e.g.: One might save a particular Tone Curve group of settings, aimed at a particular outcome, into a Develop preset. This assumes that changes to the Tone Curve happen not to feature in your normal working method, also that a generally comparable kind of general edit will be available as a starting point.

  • I am considering buying an iPad 3. I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. On the iMac I have many photos and work with iPhoto and Photoshop Elements on the computer. Can I interchange or transfer photos and other work from the iMac to the iPad? How?

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • Can you edit multiple photos at once like in Lr

    I have a prodject that i'm working on and i need to edit several images at once (preferabley) so that they are the same color. They are wooden cupboards and i need all the wood looking the same colour. In light room you can edit a group of images at the same time hence the colours are the same . Is this possible in Elements ? If so how do i do this ?

    The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug‑in module that supports these actions.)
    When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch.
    Note: The Process Multiple Files command does not work on multiple page files. 
    Choose File > Process Multiple Files.
    Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop‑up menu:
    Folder Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Browse to locate and select the folder.
    Import Processes images from a digital camera or scanner.
    Opened Files Processes all open files.
    Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder.
    For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
    If you chose Folder as the destination, specify a file-naming convention and select file compatibility options for the processed files:
    For Rename Files, select elements from the pop‑up menus or enter text into the fields to be combined into the default names for all files. The fields let you change the order and formatting of the components of the filename. You must include at least one field that is unique for every file (for example, filename, serial number, or serial letter) to prevent files from overwriting each other. Starting Serial Number specifies the starting number for any serial number fields. If you select Serial Letter from the pop-up menu, serial letter fields always start with the letter “A” for the first file.
    For Compatibility, choose Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX® to make filenames compatible with the Windows, Mac OS, and UNIX operating systems.
    Under Image Size, select Resize Images if you want each processed file resized to a uniform size. Then type in a width and height for the photos, and choose an option from the Resolution menu. Select Constrain Proportions to keep the width and height proportional.
    To apply an automatic adjustment to the images, select an option from the Quick Fix panel.
    To attach a label to the images, choose an option from the Labels menu, then customize the text, text position, font, size, opacity, and color. (To change the text color, click the color swatch and choose a new color from the Color Picker.)Note: The Watermark option enables you to add a permanent visual watermark to images. For more information, see this article.
    Select Log Errors That Result From Processing Files to record each error in a file without stopping the process. If errors are logged to a file, a message appears after processing. To review the error file, open with a text editor after the Batch command has run.
    Click OK to process and save the files.

  • Few Questions About Migrating Site & Editing Many Pages at Once

    OK. First things first. My manager doesn't want me listing
    our company name in this post since we are currently trying to get
    out of our hosting contract and she doesn't want to jeapordize
    anything in case someone stumbled across the post by a search or
    anything. FYI: I have Dreamweaver CS3.
    So here's the deal. My company would like to move our site
    away from this proprietary WYSIWYG online editor we have. The
    current setup locks us into to this silly online editor for our
    site and doesn't allow access to our files on their server. This
    means that if I want to simply change the file name of a picture on
    our site, I have to log in to their editor and go through about ten
    stupid steps. The problem is, the site is dynamically generated.
    Every page on the site looks something like this at the end:
    default.aspx?pageid=9. Those links are permanently attached to
    specific pages and the content on the individual pages rarely
    changes. I tried using some offline downloaders to grab every page
    of our site in case we move it elsewhere. When these pages are
    downloaded, though, the file names change and it breaks all of the
    links.
    If I go into the code and change every individual link to
    other pages and style sheets I can get it to look good.
    So my first question is: is there a way to easily allow
    Dreamweaver to import a couple hundred dynamically generated pages
    and make them into static pages so that they just look like
    "xyz.com/products.html"? Fortunately, our site is not extremely
    large (maybe 250+ pages) so in an absolute worst case scenario I
    could post a lot of the pages by hand.
    My second question regards changing specific items across many
    pages. Our current site contains the ability to place little
    widgets into pages. This means that if we want a navigation bar on
    a hundred different pages, we just edit the one entry for the
    widget and every page changes. I'm sure this is possible in DW, but
    I spent an hour trying to search online yesterday trying to find
    info and didn't answer my question. Is this what templates are for?
    I saw people mentioning Find All, but this didn't seem like a
    perfect solution. I apologize if this is a very stupid question. No
    one needs to take the time to explain the exact process to me, but
    if someone could just tell me the name of the functionality and if
    they know a specific resource to learn more about it, that would be
    wonderful.
    Whatever this functionality is, would I have to start over from
    scratch with the pages? Or could I implement it with the current
    site that's already put together? I'd be happy to convert the
    site to static HTML if there's an easy way to change multiple pages
    at once other than Find All and Replace.
    Thank you so, so much for any help. I appreciate it. I just
    want to make sure these things are possible before we start the
    ball rolling down that path.

    I think I could answer your questions with just one answer so
    here it goes.
    What you need to do when making this type of mass move from
    an online editor to DW would be to first download a copy of
    everything you have just so you have a backup in case any mistakes
    are made.
    Next with the downloading of the files. You will need to log
    in via FTP in Dreamweaver or via your file manager on the control
    panel of your website. If you are unsure of where this is or how to
    log in via FTP, you may need to contact your host for the login
    information. Even though the files appear to be dynamic I do
    believe that most editors would just store the pages separately and
    just uses includes to make that work. However, if this is not how
    it appears, post back with the name of the editor that you were
    using.
    Next, take one of the files you have. Based on the
    description you are giving me it sounds as if they all look the
    same just with different content (nav bar aside). If this is the
    case you can create a template file in Dreamweaver. Within that
    template you should place the content that is the same for all of
    your pages. Then make one editable region for your content to go
    into. These links can be found from the main toolbar for creating
    editable regions and other template functions (which I believe
    includes the navbar).
    Also one thing to note with templates is that they will
    automatically fix links on the pages when you save the template to
    include new files via links. So you don't have to worry about
    updating all of the pages all of the time. The only thing you would
    need to update the individual pages for would be for the content on
    those pages.
    Hopefully this will get you started in the right direction.
    But as I said in the beginning if you have trouble getting the
    files off of the site post a bit more information about what you
    have and hopefully someone here will be able to point you in the
    right direction.

  • Rotating many photos at once

    Hello,
    Does anybody know how to rotate several photos at the same time?
    Thanks
    Yanina

    Hi Terence,
    Thanks again for your response.
    I'm pretty sure that I've selected them correctly.
    The reason for this is that: I select the photos I want to rotate, use the trackpad and only the first photo rotates. I then select the same photos, use the 'rotate' button, and all the photos rotate. If I was using the trackpad incorrectly, then no photo would rotate...so I'm not sure what's wrong. Could there be a problem with IPhoto and I need to re-install?

  • Hwo to deklet many photos at once?

    Hi, I'm using the new iPad for some days together with the digital camera adapter. I was able to download the pictures into the iPad and from the iPad to the Mac without problem...
    Now i want to delete the photos from the iPad, the only possibility to do so is photo by photo... but i have hundreds of photos on the iPad :-(((
    Does anybody know hwo to delete an event with one operation??
    Thanx in advance
    Holger

    When importing photos from a digital camera or from a digital camera's storage card with the Camera Connection Kit, there is an option to delete the photos from the camera or from the camera's storage card after the import process is complete.
    If you are using iPhoto to import these photos from your iPad, iPhoto includes the same option - to delete photos from the source after the import process is complete. If you are using the Image Captured application on your Mac for this instead, the Image Capture application includes the same option after the import process is complete.
    You can import the photos again with whatever you are using on your Mac for the import followed by deleting all the photos from your iPad after the import process is complete, or delete each photo on your iPad one by one.

  • Editing multiple photos at once

    Hi--I have a zillion photos of old documents that, for the most part, need identical editing for exposure, contrast, definition, and saturation. I read that "lift and stamp" is how you do it in aperture, but how do you do it in iPhoto? I did try saving the settings in Adjustments, but it's not clear to me what happens to those settings.

    Open the first photo, click the edit button, make sure you open the adjustments pane (the one that shows the sliders). Now make your adjustments to that first photo. When you get it right, in the adjustments pane there is a button to COPY the settings.
    Now simply go to each new photo and apply the same settings.

  • Is there a way to edit multiple photos at once?

    I take a lot of pictures that I usually end up tagging (in the bottom corner). Sometimes it's over 100. Is there an easier way than opening them up one my one and inserting text on all of them?

    Yes.
    File>process multiple files. In the dialog, on the right, under labels, select watermark from the drop down. Select position, font, color, etc.
    Uncheck "same as source" unless you want your the originals to have the watermark.

  • I have so many photos in my iPhoto that I can't update with my Time Machine to an external drive.  What is another way to backup photos??

    I need a solution for photo storage...
    Can't run my time machine and store to external drive, probably because i have so many photos...
    I either need a way to get more storage on the external drive or figure out a way to store photos

    1 - you are fine for now but willneed to do something soon
    2 - you can not backup up a 320 GB hard drive to a 320 BG hard drive using Time Machine - TM needs more space
    3 - my suggestion is to get at least a 1TB external hard drive (they are cheap - often less than $100) formatted Mac OS estended (journaled) and use it for backup then once that is in place use the 320 GB external hard drive for yoru iphoto library -
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Trying to open a received text message with many photos and application closes after 3-4 seconds

    I have an iphone5s.  I received a text message with many photos attached.  when I select that message to open, there is a 2-3 second delay before it will open.  Once it does open, it will remain open for 3-4 seconds and the messaging app closes.  All other messaging features work fine.  It's just this one message with all of the pictures attached.

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

  • Zen Touch: How to edit multiple songs artists and genres at once with new firmwa

    With the old firmware I was able to do that with Nomad Explorer. But with the V2 firmware, I cannot use the Nomad Explorer anymore, and Media Source Organizer only alows to edit one track at once. Zen Touch Explorer also does not allow me to do that.
    I tried to use Windows Media Player 0 and it worked, but after I closed the program and started it again, all my edits at the Library were gone. If I edit the library and sync to my Zen Touch will it apply what I edited on the library or will it keep the original ID3 tag from the song? How to make the modification permanent to the MP3 ID3 tag on the PC?
    I think creative should allow edition of multiple songs with Zen Touch Explorer on the same way Nomad Explorer used to do with firmware V.

    I haven't seen a program which does batch editing for MTP devices. Real Player does allow you to edit the ID3 tags of songs on the player, but one at a time.
    With most music programs when you change an ID tag on your computer it doesn't update on the player, so you would have to delete it from the player first then retransfer it, or find a program which edits the tags on the player such as Real Player.
    The issue is most likely speed, it will take awhile to do batch editing on the player so that could be a reason why programs dont support it..
