How do I apply a preset to multiple photos at once using Lightroom CC

This is a feature I used to use a lot within Lightroom 5, in the grid view, I used to select all the photos I wanted to apply it to, right click, Develop, then find my preset and apply it.
This seems to either have moved or gone from Lightroom CC?
Here's a screenshot of what I mean...
If anyone can help I'd appreciate it.
P.S I don't want to use sync as that's not exactly what I'm after which other people have suggested.

When you installed LR CC 2015 did you upgrade your earlier catalog? Normally everything should transfer including presets but you may need to copy from your previous version if third party presets have not installed.
From LR CC 2015 click the menu:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> Presets (tab)
To show the system location click the button “Show Lightroom Presets Folder”
You can then double-click on Lightroom and again on Develop Presets. Drag your Kellie Hatcher folder into Develop Presets.
On Mac the default location is usually:
Macintosh HD\Users\User Name\Library\Application Support\Adobe\Lightroom
Windows – go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> Presets (tab)
Default location:
C:\Users\User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom

How do I apply a preset to multiple photos

I thought I could apply a single preset to multiple photos, I know I can apply the presets during import, but I selected multiple photo's and clicked on the preset, but the preset was applied to only one photo, what am I doing wrong?
I'm using LR 2 with Leopard (Intel)
Thanks.

I am not sure about Mac but on Windows, select the files Ctrl button and click the sync button at the lower right side. It should then change to Auto Sync and any changes you now make will be applied to all the selected photos. Make sure you change it back to sync mode when you are done, use Ctrl and click to reset. There may be other ways to achieve this.
See the post by John this should be easier.

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 do I apply same adjustments to multiple photos at the same time?

How do I apply same adjustments to multiple photos at the same time?

You can't but you can copy the adjustments made on one photo and apply/paste it onto another by:
1 - Control (right)-clicking one the edited photo in the Edit mode and selecting Copy Adjustsments
2 - Control-clicking on the next photo and selecting Paste Adjustments.

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.

How do you apply a transition to multiple clips? NOT using default transition.

Using CS6
I have videos on one track and titles on another track. I want to apply dissolve to black for the videos and gradient wipe to the titles.
Right now I have to assign dip as the default transition, select all the video, and apply default transition. Then find the gradient wipe, change *that* to the new default transition, select all the titles, and apply default transitions. Then I have to go back and reset my default transition to gradient wipe since that's my "main" default transition.
Uhhhh... why can't we just select a bunch of clips and drag ANY transition to the selection and have it apply just like regular effects? Why force us to do this complicated singular default transition dance?

Hi D. Vivian,

What you need to do is to select the clips and enable trim (some red brackets will appear at the beginning or end of the clips).
I just marquee drag with the Roll tool to select the edit points.

Then, right click and Apply default transition.
Or use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl + D (Windows) or CMD + D (Mac).
Thanks,

Applying settings preset to multiple images in ACR v4.3

When attempting to apply a preset to multiple images in ACR, the preset is only applied to the "current" or "active" image. The other images in the thumbnail pane remain unchanged, even though they are selected. This function works correctly in Bridge, but not in ACR. "Synchronizing" the files does not do the same thing, as my preset incorporates "Apply auto tone adjustments." What am I missing?

Pardon my misunderstanding of the question. I just tried it, and the method of selecting the images has no impact (e.g., the "select all" button, or hold "shift" or "ctrl" and click on multiple images...)
All the boxes are checked in the "synchronize" dialog. However, this synchronizes all of the settings to the "active image," which ties the tone adjustments to that image, which is undesirable. I just want to automatically adjust the tones (as part of my preset) to all of the selected images.
Based upon input from this tread, this is the refined procedure I use to "check" if it's working (which hasn't for me so far):
1) Select multiple images (or all, if you prefer)
2) Apply "camera raw defaults" Note that the settings default to Blacks: +5, Brightness: +50, Contrast: +25
3) Apply a saved preset (saved with the check box "Apply auto tone adjustments" checked).
4) Note that the Blacks, Brightness, and Contrast sliders only "adjust" for the "active" image, but don't change for the other selections. They remain at Blacks: +5, Brightness: +50, Contrast: +25
Again, if I perform this procedure in Bridge, it works for all selected images. However, in ACR, it functions as described above.
Does that clear it up?
Thanks for the prompt responses so far. I hope I'm simply doing something incorrectly!

Apply Same Preset to Multiple Render Queue Selection

Hi,
I´m trying to apply the same preset to multiple render items on the queue panel.
What´s happening is: i select multiple render items on the render queue panel of Media Encoder, then select a preset and drag and drop this preset to alter all the render items (hopefully). But no..
With drag and drop even if i have a multiple selection the dragged preset only goes to on render item. If i select not the item name but the output name, the same thing happens.
If i make my multiple selection and double click on the preset name it does add the preset to all the selection but it does not replace one for the other.. (so i got 2 outputs presents when wanting only one)
Hope my explanation makes sense.
Its this feature existent on Media Encoder or am i doing something wrong?

Replacing an output via drag & drop only works on the output you drag the preset to, regardless of your current selection. Also, if you apply a preset with multiple outputs selected it always adds a new output, as you mentioned.
However, if you have multiple outputs selected and choose a different preset from the Preset popup menu in the Queue, all the outputs are changed at once which sounds like the behavior you want. You'll only see presets for the current format in the Preset popup menu so you may need to switch the Format popup first to see the preset you want.
I like the idea of replacing multiple outputs via drag & drop though, I'll add a feature request for this.

Applying 2 Presets to a Photo...

Can I apply 2 presets to a photo to create a more unique look? Similar to something like applying 2+ actions in Photoshop? If so, how do I do it?

It depends on the presets. If both contain the same "type" (Exposure, Fill Light, Blacks, etc) of develop adjustments then the answer is no because the develop adjustments in the second will replace the first. For example, Preset 1 has develop adjustments for Exposure 10, Fill Light 5 and Blacks 8 is applied to an image you then apply Preset 2 with develop adjustments for Exposure 7 and Fill Light 8. The resulting image will have develop adjustments Exposure 7, Fill Light 8 and Blacks 8. You will notice that the only adjustment from the first preset that remains is for the Blacks. The Blacks remained because the second preset did not include any adjustment for Blacks.

How can I delete multiple photos at once from the official Photos app?

Dear fellow Apple users,
I have many pictures on my Camera Roll in Apple's Photos app. What's the quickest way to delete multiple photos at once?
Thus far, I know how to delete photos one by one, but that's time-consuming.
Thank you.

No not box with arrow, that is share button. Edit is where it shows in the pic I posted

How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

How do I change the length of multiple photo's after I've added them?

Hey,
The best way to do this is to select all the clips by holding down the shift key or command key if the clips you want to change are not all right next to each other and then selecting each clip that you want to change. Then double-click on the clips which will open up the inspector tab and then you can change the duration. If you want to just change all clips to the same duration just double-click on one of the photos and in the inspector tab next to the durationt tab you will see a box that says "add duration to all clips". If you click that, when you change the duration all the photos will change to that duration. That will then change the duration of all the clips at the same time.

Insert data into multiple entities at once using a view object

Hi,
I'm trying to insert data into multiple entities at once using a view object, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. The two entities have a 1:1 association. I created a view object which contains both entities and I made sure they aren't read-only. But like I said it doesn't work, I can't insert data in both entities at once... :(
Is this possible? And how (if it is)?

Is this possible? And how (if it is)? Peter:
This is definitely supported and tested. Please send us the exception stack trace. You must running into other problems. A few things to note:
A) You have to mark the entities as both updateable (not read-only) and not reference-only.
B) If you're not seeing an exception stack, turn on diagnostic. Here is how:
To turn on diagnostic, go to the IDE,
1. Select the project.
2. Do right mouse click and select "Project Settings..."
3. On the Settings dialog, select Configurations/Runner.
4. In the righthand side pane, you should see a textbox for "Java
Options". Please add the following JVM switch:
-Djbo.debugoutput=console
Then, rerun. The run command should include
-Djbo.debugoutput=console as in
"D:\JDev9i\jdk\bin\javaw.exe" -Djbo.debugoutput=console -classpath ...
You should now see a lot more output on the IDE's message window. Here you should see the exception stack trace.
If you invoking your app directly from command prompt, just add "-Djbo.debugoutput=console" after your "java.exe".
Thanks.

How would you apply different calibrations to multiple channels

I'm attempting to apply calibration data to multiple channels. The calibrations could have been done at different times for different channels and could be using different fits. I think I have a solution for just applying the calibration information to one channel. I'm posting the solution for one channel in this post. In the next post I will include the multi-channel problem I'm working on. I had to add txt onto the initial file in order to post this.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Apply Calibration One Channel.vi ‏138 KB

Thanks for the links John. I just logged on to post my working solution so I haven’t had a chance to look at them yet.
I’ve been working on this problem and have come up with the below attachment. I believe the logic is correct, but do not know if this is the most efficient way of doing this. I start by reading the calibration information in my ini file for only the channels that I am collecting data for. This is accomplished by the case structure enclosed in the for loop. The calibration values are stored as variables so I don’t have to read them with each data point I collect. I then start the data collection within my while loop. As I collect the data I pass it through a for loop where I apply the calibration curve to it and pull the calibration variables from the 2nd case structure. I’m using a for loop for this so I can index the wave files and apply the correct calibration information to each one. The channels and sections will be inputs to this vi from the choose channel vi.
John I don’t know if this is better or worse than what you are suggesting. I will read the links you sent me.
Does anybody have any comments on what I’ve put together?
Thanks, Eric

How do i apply one gradient across multiple live paint objects??

I need to apply a single gradient acros a number of live paint objects but am finding it annoyingly hard to find a way. I know that normally, to apply a gradient across multiple objects, you would need to make them all into one compound path but does this apply to live paint groups in any way?? Can what i need to achieve actually be done??
Thanks for any help given

1. With the Live Paint selection tool, shift-select those shapes you want to unify with a gradient.
2. Fill this (multi-shape) selection with your gradient. Now each shape is filled separately.
3. With the gradient tool, drag across all of the selected shapes.
"Annoyingly hard." Is that different than "hard"?
