How do I adjust the levels of multiple images at once?

CS6 user, I recently scanned a few pages of an old black and white comic, which thanks to the passage of time are now more black and beige.
I know how to adjust levels using the eyedropper tool but is there a way to apply the same effect to several images in one go (i.e. adjust the levels of one image then apply the same effect to the others as a batch of files), rather than pressing ctrl+alt+l and saving each image individually?
Thanks

You can also select all of the images in bridge, go to Tools, Photoshop, Load files into layers. Then select all layers, put them into a group (Cmd G), add layer mask to the group and do the levels there.

? Flash CS4, Is it possible to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once?

Hi,
I am using Flash CS4. Is there any way to adjust the length of multiple timelines at once? I am doing an animation of leaves falling from a tree. The leaves alone have 17 separate timelines on separate layers plus each has it's own guide layer.
If I had the ability to to select all of the timelines together and adjust all of their respective start and end times at the same same time, relative to each other as well as separately, life would be so much easier!
Of course I can do it timeline by timeline, no problem, but I can't seem to adjust the length of more than one timeline at a time. (no pun intended)
Even when I select more than one timeline, the double arrow only adjusts the length of one timeline. Even each guide layer's length has to be adjusted separately. I understand the benefit of this, but, testing timing and making adjustments would be so much simpler and go so much faster if I could select and drag multiple timeline lengths at the same time.
Is there any way to do this?
I'm new to Flash so, thanks in advance for your patience with me!

Thanks! I had a feeling. It's nice to have the answer. Oh well, now I can get back to work and not waste any more time with that part of the puzzle. You've been very helpful and I'm sure your answer is correct. Wish I knew how to rate your answer even higher. Thanks again!

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.

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.

How can I extract the metadata from multiple image files into a .csv?

Hi.
I'm looking for what I believe is a simple task but I am not sure how to go about it. I want to get the relevant data (seen in the screen grab below) into a spread sheet. I need to get the File Name, Size, Dimensions, Resolution and Kind into the spreadsheet so I can better analyze the data for my purposes. I have tried to find EXIF and IPTC extractors but only come across products that show me the info with no way of transferring it. I figured there must be a way to do this in the Finder. Maybe it's a simple Automator task (which I am not very good at) or a Script.
Can anyone guide me thru or suggest a tool that would work?
I was given a suggestion in another Disscussion to use a Plug-In for iPhoto. I found an old one but it dosnt have all of the metadata I need. It's missing the File Name and Resolution as options.

Thanks,
Stephen

Nevermind, I found it.
+Inspector > Metrics > File Info: > drag the file's icon to the desktop+

How do I adjust the length of an image without adjusting the height?

I'm making labels for playdoh for my son's bday party so I need the label to be long and short in length to fit. I inserted my image/photo onto a blank slide in keynote. I have tried to make the photo longer but it is also making it taller. I'm used to working w/Powerpoint where you stretch the corner to adjust height and width...and if you wanted only length to be stretched you simply stretch the arrow on the side and the height stays the same. I have spent over an hour trying to figure this out! I realize it is probably easy but please help if you can! Thanks so much!

Hi Lieven, I did exactly as you said except it would not allow me to check or uncheck the constrain proportions options. It appears to be unchecked but it does not give me an option to do anything under the Metrics tab. Do you have any idea why? Thanks.

After adjusting the levels in a file the changes don't stay. How do I fix this?

Hello helpful people,
I'm running Photoshop CS5 on an iMac. I started with a scanned tiff that was emailed to me, a black on white ink drawing. I changed it from a tiff to a greyscale image and saved as psd, then converted it to RBG 8bit. When I open the psd file I see that it's in RBG 8 bit and there's no asterisk (*) by the file name, so my work space and file are compatible. I tried to adjust the layers to dull the black lines in the drawing, and although I can see the changes in preview, the corrections don't stay and the image reverts back to the original bold, black lines. I decided to change my background layer to a regular layer and make the edits there. However, when I change my background layer by unlocking it and changing the name, I notice that my file suddenly has an asterisk (*) after the name and my same attempts to change the levels aren't working. I'm not entirely sure if it's a compatibility issue with the work space, a file extension issue (psd), or something all together unknown to me. Any direction on how to adjust the levels so that my changes stay would be much appreciated - and furthermore, any advice on how to keep my files and work space in sync would also be helpful. Thank you. If it helps to know, I'm in painting mode within photoshop, which isn't my regular setting, but I thought it would help since I want to add color to this black an white drawing.
Sincerely,
LauraMay

Zoom in to 100% before judging the quality of your adjustments on high contrast or noisy images.
While zoomed out, you're seeing a preview applied to the down sampled (averaged) pixels.

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?

How do you set the duration for multiple stills in iMovie 2013?
Before upgrading to the latest version of iMovie last month, I was able to set the duation of all of the stills included in an iMovie project at one time by clicking the apply to all still box in the adjustment pop up. That option is no longer apparent. If it is available I cannot find it, and I have tried several different ways to accomplish it. I have tried the iMovie help section and can find nothing to help.
Apple, do I really have to adjust close to 500 pictures to a 5 second duration individually???
REALLY??!!

...why wouldnt people want that level of accuracy when animating, especially when working to music at a specific duration?
Because often people are animating to words or beats in the music. Music is rarely performed with a computer-precise beat and tempo. Musicians aren't robots: they swing the beat sometimes. They use rubato. They change tempo. They change time signatures. As a result, you have to FIND those words and beats. It's not a situation where you can say, "There! I've found the duration of one beat! Now it's easy to find the rest of them!"
If you try it, you will be very disappointed.
Try finding the precise end of a piece of music that fades or ends on a big chord with a ring-out. You'll see that it's trial-and-error: what's the point where it becomes inaudible? It depends on how high your speakers are turned up. You might have them way up, you set an end point for the layer, and then you do a RAM Preview at a more reasonable volume. You might say, "Hey! The music ends before the layer ends!"... but you KNOW you set the layer's out point when the audio file goes silent.
AE has layer markers that can be used on an audio layer to mark beats, words, etc. They come in very handy.
I guess it comes down to this: because AE can do so much different stuff, there are very few automated procedures. Oh, Adobe tries with effects that convert audio levels to keyframes, but they're not 100% reliable... especially on something like a capella choral works. For true accuracy, you need find the timings yourself.
If you want something simpler, try a different application. But be prepared for lower level of accuracy.

How to "Auto Levels" to multiple images?

Aperture doesn't allow one to perform the "Auto Levels" function on multiple images regardless of the state of the "Toggle Primary Only" control. Has anyone discovered a workaround in 1.1?
(This topic was previously discussed for 1.0 in http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1486906&#1486906)
Thanks.

You can lift and stamp the changes made by using an auto-adjustment, but it will no longer be automatic, just a copy of the changes made to the last image.
Aperture doesn't let you make any image adjustment to multiple images at once, so it's nothing specific to auto-adjust.

Web page comes up in small print. I understand "cntl ++" but how due I adjust the size to make it larger when it 1st displays?

I open a web page and it is displayed in small print down the middle of the screen. How does one adjust the text size so it is larger print when it 1st comes up so I do not have to keep hitting "CNTL++" all the time?

Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

How can I adjust the font size of my printouts?

I have an HP Officejet 4500 all-in-one printer and a new HP pavilion Slimline computer. Since I changed to this computer, my printouts have very small font size making them hard to read. How can I adjust the font size of the printout? Is it a computer or printer function? I appreciate the help.

I, too, am frustrated. This seems like something that would easily be handled within the application software. However, none of the fixes I've been offered have been very helpful. My cousin sugested using Control C and Control V to move the text to WORD. Once in WORD, you can manipulate the text on a WORD page...sometimes. I've had good and bad luck with this method. It still requires working in two different programs to get it legible. Does anyone else have a 4500 All-in -one with this problem, or is it only me? Thanks, [Edited for Personal Information]

How do I adjust the print size of a photo?

I created a collage in PSE 10 and took the photo to Ritz to have printed out in an 18" x 24" poster. When the file was read into their computer for printing, the sizing came up as 18'1/2" x 24". Printing the photo as is will cut 1/2" off of the collage. How do I adjust the print parameters of my photo file in PSE 10 to be exacetly 18" x 24"? Thanks.

Here is my suggestion:
Open a blank, new file (File>new>blank file) size 8.5x11"
Open the collage
Go to Select>all
Go to Edit>copy
Go back to the blank file created in step #1
Go to Edit>paste. The collage will be on its own layer
Access the move tool, and with the corner handles resize the collage. Using the corner handles should preserve the aspect ratio. If you open the rulers, you will have a point of reference as you go along.
Print a draft copy to see if it will be suitable in the frame..
Please report back with your progress.
