Editing multiple images at once..

I use Aperture as a key app in my workflow to make panoramic images, and I would have loved the ability to select multiple images and do adjustments that applied to a whole selection without the need for lift and stamp. In my eyes that would be sooo much smoother than the current approach.
Anyone else with this need?
Sincerely,
Kjell Are Refsvik

I've been doing all the main pano-editing in Photoshop, and then bringing a reduced copy of the final into Aperture, but now I'll bring in the final copy as a referenced file.
A little workaround for adding info for non-image files such as QTVRs - make a custom metadata tag such as 'QTVR path', use a path-copying contextual menu such as Path Snagger to grab the location of the QTVR file and paste it into the tag. If you use a unix path it's then easy to copy the path, swap to the Finder and hit Command-Shift-G to 'go to folder'.
There was an AppleScript somewhere on the forum that would export images from multiple Albums to a folder structure where each folder had the same name as the Album, that's also very handy for batch-exporting a load of panos.
I've taken this idea a bit further and made a rough helper app which exports all Albums within an Aperture Folder to their own folders in the Finder, makes a PTGui project file, loads the project file, finds control points and then saves the file again. Email me if you want a copy to play around with.

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.

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

Is there a way to format multiple images at once? Change colour mode or resolution?

It's very easy to make an action.
Go to window > actions
In the actions panel, simply click the 'create a new action' button, it starts recording as soon as you've created it (when you've given it a name).
Now you can apply the changes you want to make to the images on the file you have opened.
After you've done all you need to do. You click the 'stop' button. The action is now ready to use. And you can apply the changes you made on all the other files.
Then you can continue how gener7 explained.
I usually include a save and close command, so that the whole batch doesn't end up opened after running the script.
But if you do that you have to create a new file, and save it to your computer before you start recording the action, otherwise the save command will be replaced by each file. And you'll end up with one edited file in the end. At least for as far as I know!

How do I apply a preset to multiple images at once?

I'm almost embarassed to ask this, because it seems so simple. But I'm new to LR and need some help.
I want to apply a preset (exmample, a preset that resembles film) to multiple images at once. (similar to batch editing in Photoshop) but I want want the white balance etc to necessarily be the same, obviously. Please help!

Select all of your thumbnails in the develop module film strip or in the library prior to going into develop. Then turn on Auto-Sync. Any adjustment you make to your first image will be repeated on all of the selected images. Or just perfect your first image and choose sync. You will see a pop-up dialog and you can choose exactly which develop settings you wish to sync e.g. white balance only or white balance and other settings.
To be clear Auto-sync will apply all develop settings on the fly to all selected images.
Sync will apply the settings from the first selected image to all of the subsequently selected images unless you choose exceptions. For example you may wish to apply exposure, contrast, highlights and shadows from your perfected image but not the crop settings.
Don't forget to turn off Auto-Sync when you have finished otherwise it will affect future editing.
P.S. There is no such thing as an embarrassing question. The beginners forum is designed entirely for that purpose.

How to apply lens correction profile to multiple images at once?

I have a quick newbie question and I couldn't find an answer in a brief search that I did. Is it possible to apply lens correction profile automatically to multiple images at once? For my RAW images, LR automatically detects the lens and applies the correction profile for an image if I manually click on "Enable lens correction" option under Develop module (in the right pane where adjustments are made). However, I would like to do this to multiple images all at once.
Thanks,
Osho

Be careful using develop setting synchronization for lens profile across mutiple images! This allows applying an incorrect profile (i.e. Canon 17-40mm profile with synchronization to images shot with multiple lenses) First use the 'filter' tool to make sure you select images shot with only one (1) lens type. Then follow one of the procedures here:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Lightroom/3.0/Using/WS0E6E6886-E223-4050-B6E0-A97B5B62EF7D.htm l
You can also change the "default" develop settings with 'Lens Profile' option checked and then save as the "new default" setting. LR will then "automatically" apply lens profile correction on import of new images.

Lost ability to select/edit multiple images

my apologies if this is a simple question. I must have somehow disabled the feature that allowed me to select multiple images (i.e. images 1-10 within a particular project/folder) and edit them all at once. when i select multiple images and attempt to edit/stamp/rotate all at once, only the last selected image (i.e. #10) is changed. is there a feature i somehow disabled that is causing this? i never had problems with this feature prior to a few weeks ago.

primary only was selected ...
keyboard shortcut is 'S' ... also under Edit -> Primary Only ...
third place is on the bottom control bar ...

How finder shares multiple images at once and how can I use this in my app?

You can share multiple images (or other documents) at once in finder. It's probably possible to make an app in Xcode that does exactly the same thing as well, but I don't know how. I really want to because I'm a bit curios. I would love if there are some code examples on the web so I can check it out. Can you help me?

Is your Google broken?

Adjust white balance for multiple images at once?

Is this possible to adjust the white balance for multiple images at the same time?
Or adjust the exposure for that matter?

Of course, this is similar to the question you asked in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3964192#3964192
except use White Balance instead of Exposure. For others who might be wondering the same thing:
1) Set the White Balance for one image.
2) Select all of the images you want to copy the White Balance to.
3) Type "O" to initiate the Lift & Stamp HUD
4) Click on the image with the White Balance you want to copy with the with the L&S up arrow.
5) In the L&S HUD uncheck all the checkboxes except Adjustments.
6) Click on the disclosure triangle to the left of Adjustments. If there are other adjustment settings besides White Balance listed, select them and delete them with the delete key.
7) Once all you have is Adjustments White Balance in the L&S HUD, then click the "Stamp Selected Images" button in the L&S HUD.

Editing MULTIPLE images with lightroom 2 corrections in CS3

Does anyone know how to send multiple images with LR2 corrections to CS3
for further editing? If I select multiple images in LR2 and click photo/edit in/photoshop cs3 only one image opens in photoshop. If I could send more than one image at a time it would greatly speed up my workflow.
Thanks

It works for me when I highlight multiple images, right-click on one of them, choose edit in Photoshop. If this isn't working for you, is it possible that your Photoshop screen mode is such that you have to switch images using the Window option on the menu?

Editing multiple images in main window - PSE 9

In PSE 8 I was able to bring up multiple images in the main window to edit simultaneously. In PSE 9 I can't seem to find a way to reduce the image so that I can slide another one alongside it. Any ideas? Thanks.

Adding to Barbar's comment.
1 .Also to see the images directly choose the "Windows>Tile" option to see all images at a time.
2. If this is cluttering your space (if large number of files are opened) then choose the "Arrange Documents Option for 2, 3 or more images. This option is located at the top beside the menus or above or below the menus.

Can you edit multiple images from a PDF in photoshop?

I scan a lot of old publications with images and drawings. The images are in greyscale, but my scanner produces better results set to color. As such, I have to convert the images to greyscale in Photoshop from Acrobat. I have several PS actions that make this process easier, but I wish there was a way to select multiple images from a page or PDF file and run the actions on them (a batch) instead of one at a time. Is there? Or perhaps another method than what I am doing?

I recommend that you scan first, save as TIFF, do any desired correction, and only then make PDFs. Scanning direct to PDFs is great for simple uncomplicated workflows, but a liability when correction is needed.

Selecting multiple images at once

I am having trouble figuring out how to click and drag the "invisible box" that usually shows up in other apps. I'm wanting to select multiple images and this would make it much easier since sizing and placing makes it difficult to select each image. Hopefully this makes sense as I am unsure what to call it. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

It's okay, I answered my own question. For those who may have the same problem, you have to click on the image before holding the mouse button down and dragging while pressing the command key.

Is it possible to apply an adjustment to multiple images at once?

I'd like to be able to apply a simple Auto Enhance to multiple images. I don't see where that's possible, but maybe someone has an answer. Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry. I wrote wrong. .
Here are correct instructions:
To create this Effect:
- Select one Image with no adjustments.
- Apply Auto-Enhance by clicking the magic wand icon at the top right toolbar of the Adjustments Inspector.
- Click the Effects drop-down (to the left of the magic wand icon) and select "Save as Effect".
- Name the Effect (suggestion: "Auto-Enhance (built-in)").
