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)").

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Remove adjustment from multiple images?

    I have multiple images where I used Sharpen instead of Edge Sharpen. I know I can Lift & Stamp the Edge Sharpen adjustment to multiple images but I can't seem to find a way to remove the Sharpen adjustment from all of them first. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks

    I can add the other keyword using your techniqe, but how do I get rid of the wrong keyword without interfering with the other keywords I have already set for the images?
    Keywords are metadata, not adjustments.
    If you want to add or remove keywords to multiple images, without interfering with the keywords that are already set, I'd suggest to configurekeyword sets and to use the keyword controls:
    For example, after designing a keyword set"Himmel" (sky) I can add or remove one of the keywords for all selected images  by simply pressing a button in the keywords panel or using a key combination: for example ⌥6  to add the keyword "Halo" to all images, ⇧⌥6 to remove it from all currently selected images.
    But the question is, how to remove one adjustment from multiple images, and that seems to be behaving buggy in Aperture 3.4.1, at least on my system: If I try to add an adjustment to (or remove from)  multiple images, only the primary selection will be modified - and yes "Primary only is disabled ).
    For example: Trying to add "Sepia Tone" to four images: I see the same on two MBPs and on my iMac with Aperture 3.4.1.

  • 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 to remove an adjustment from multiple images

    Hi, i've used the lift and stamp method to apply a black and white preset to a group of images. I want to remove this adjustment from the same group of images but the only way i can see how to do it is to unclick the Black and White adjustment brick for each image individually. Is there a way to do this for a group of images?

    You are absolutely right. My apologies.
    What follows is what I found out this morning, just by poking around. I am not a programmer nor a program designer -- my apologies in advance for anything wrong or clumsily understood.
    I believe you have stumbled across a significant design flaw in Aperture. Resetting an adjustment brick effectively removes it for some bricks, and does not for others ^1^. There is no way I know of to batch remove (or turn on/off (i.e.: check or uncheck)) adjustment bricks. There should be.
    The [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter =16%26section=9%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292AOV-1009540] is simply wrong about this. On the "Removing Adjustments" page it states:
    To remove a single adjustment from an image
    Select an image, then click the Reset button for the adjustment you want to remove.
    This does not work for those adjustments which default to having an effect, such as the "Black & White" brick under discussion, "Vignette" and others.
    It seems to me there should be clear distinctions between (and controls for) both the "on/off" status of an adjustment brick, and the "default/not-default" settings of the parameters within the brick.
    Perhaps others can join in with further comments and provide some more light on this. As it is, I recommend sending feedback on this to the Aperture team, via the program. Use "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
    ^1^ There are two kinds (at least) of adjustments in Aperture: those with a "null" default and those with a "non-null" default. Null-default adjustments can be "zeroed out" -- the adjustment can be applied and have no effect. Non-null-default adjustments cannot be zeroed out -- the only way to have no effect is to turn the adjustment off (uncheck it) or remove it. There are, to the best of my knowledge, no ways to batch turn off or remove adjustments (I don't use AppleScript, but I checked the manual).

  • Copy adjustment to multiple images

    Simple question, anyone figure out how to copy an adjustment from one image to a group of images.
    I shoot in RAW so all my images need white balance applied to them, I set the one balance on one image,  and found Copy adjustment.  Now I want to copy this to the next 1000 pictures, all I can seem to do is do it one by one. Not good when you have a 1000 pictures to do.  I see no way to select multiple images when doing edits. And when not in "Edit" mode, the paste Adjustment does not work.
    Robert
    P.S.  -- All I can say about Photos is *** was apple thinking putting out this POS application.  They had 2 good apps, a little long in the tooth, and in need of a major update.  But to get rid of those and give us Photos, I am ashamed for the software engineers that had to release this POS app.

    Ya, can do that, but trying to do that for 1000 images, I would end up throwing the whole computer out the window.
    It is a pity, that the lifting and stamping of adjustments has been implemented in this silly, restrictive way. 
    Why not implement it, as it is in Aperture - a nice Lift&Stamp tool, that lets us copy metadata, titles, captions, keywords, and selected groups of adjustments to all selected photos?
    You may want to write a feature request to Apple instead of smashing your Mac.  The feedback form for Photos is here:  Apple - Photos - Feedback

  • Is it possible to save the adjusted virtual copy image and discard the original?

    I have made a virtual copy of an image which I then adjusted in LR to the way I want to keep it. Now I am wondering either if there is a way to apply those adjustments easily to the original so I can then discard the virtual copy, or should I save the virtual copy and delete the original? I just don't need two images, one which is not a keeper. I also don't want to delete the original if the virtual copy depends upon its existence.
    I want to keep images down to the one's I want and am working to delete those images which I will never use. Whichever is the best way to handle the above situation will enable me to do some much needed housekeeping to my catalog.
    TIA,
    Ken

    You guys are pretty slick, no two ways about it. I think I'm learning Lightroom, but I'm just happy with it helping in my own situation. Some of you have far-reaching understanding of this wonderful program. Lightroom is a 'must' as I see it.
    Ian, I've tried your method, as it seems easiest and most direct, I selected the VC and chose the menu item 'make copy original' and it did a 'conversion' or so it looked like, but the images still say 1 of 2 for the original with no modifications and 2 of 2 for the cropped and adjusted version. I am skeerd to delete the '1 of 2' version which I believe 'was' the original version before I chose the menu item. Now I'm not sure what I have.
    Hal P Anderson, I tried your method and it did transfer the settings but not the crop, which I can understand why. I re-cropped the 1 of 2 to match the 2 of 2 version which is the virtual copy, and then selected the virtual copy and hit delete - the dialog box confirmed I was deleting the VC by asking if I wanted to delete this virtual copy. I felt more comfortable with that arrangement and now I'm sans VC with the original possessing the new settings.
    Thanks to you both,
    Ken

  • Possible to apply Match Color to multiple layers in one go?

    Hi there,
    I have to deal with multiple layer documents for producing underwater mosaics. Very often, the images vary in colors a bit. For large mosaics, I run the images thru a batch job before I use them. For smaller mosaics (e.g. just 10 to 20 images), this is a bit of overkill, in case I have to tweak just 5 or 10 or so.
    In this case, I prefer picking  one of the 20 layers as my "reference" and manually match the colors of those layers, that need the match, one by one.
    My question now: Is there a way, that I could select, lets say 10 layers that need the match and apply the Match Color to all of them in one go?
    Thanks for ideas,
    g

    Will have a look there, did not think about scripting so far ... since I never scripted
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Applying a rating to multiple images

    Hi all,
    this would be a rather embarassing question had I not looked for an answer for so long.
    I can't stand the way Julieanne Kost edits picks and rejects. I don't know any pros who edit that way personally, and it seems so ineficient; except maybe for stock shooters, which I am not.
    Is there a way to apply ratings -stars or color labels specifically, to mutliple images in Lightroom 3.5? I've been using Lightroom since 1 and haven't come up with a sloution, and it ends up costing me days of editing on longer shoots.
    If I'm trying to organize different lighting scenarios it is a HUGE waist of time to go through using an actual keystroke to flag the different scenes (think events, weddings, or the like) only ot have to go back and then Sync the curves between them; as well as there somtimes (often) not being enough different flagging methods to even make that an option.
    I have a bad feeling the program just doesn't allow for such a useful function (despite having many truly useless functions touted), but any help would be appreciated.
    -Kurt

    You can apply colors and flags and ratings to multiple photos selected in the thumbnail bar in Library mode, but not Develop mode, unless Auto Sync is switched on, but becareful and undo Auto Sync afterwards so you don’t sync all sorts of edits unless you mean to.
    If you’re meaning something more complicated, please explain.  I have not watched any Kost videos to infer something from those.
    As far as running out of colors and ratings and flags, you can add keywords and filter on those.

  • Apply White Balance To Multiple Images

    Now that I'm shooting RAW all the time, I'm really, REALLY getting tired of having to manually change the white balance for every single image. As many of you probably know, you can select any number of images in Abode RAW, and then use your WB source image to mass-apply the white balance to said images. Further, you can select images and then contextual-menu to apply changes.
    For the life of me, I cannot see how to do this in Aperture. I've tried everything I know to do, but I still have to manually activate individual images and then set the WB. If I could mass-apply a preset to a group of pics, that'd be passable -- but I don't see how to do that, either.
    Thoughts? Advice? Solutions?
    Thanks,
    Maury

    Hello! One way to do it is to first make sure that Primary Only is off. Then make the white balance correction to an image. Then use the Lift tool to lift the white balance off it. A dialog box will open showing you what is being lifted. Now you can shift-select a beginning image and an ending image. The shift-select will apply the Stamp to everything in between.

  • Apply Find/Change to multiple records at once?

    Hi,
    I'm wondering if there is a way to apply the find/change options I select to all the records I've Data Merged into my InDesign file.
    The placeholders won't import the spaces in my database, example if I have
    InDesign template:     <<bird>>
                                            <<beak>><<beak value>>
    .csv:                              bird,beak,beak value
                                         Eagle,beak:        ,hooked
    I get
    InDesign after Data Merge:  Eagle
                                                     beak:hooked
    No spaces came over with the merge.  If there is an option to preserve spaces, that would be the easiest solution. However, I'm not finding such a command, so I'd like to add a special character after my colons in the .csv and then use ID to find/change that character in every one of my records into a space or two.  Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    edit: Even on a single record, the find/change isn't applying to my output document, either... Its outputting the special character I wrote into the  .csv fields instead of the space it is supposed to change into.
    Message was edited by: EX_Achilles

    Thanks, but I already wrote <space> into the .csv fields where I need spaces. Sometimes I just want a space and it doesn't necessarily come after a colon.  However, that's not really the problem I'm trying to figure out.
    1. The recplacement needs to work across all records, not just the one I'm currently previewing.
    2. The replacement doesn't stay replaced when I do the actual merge.
    *Just so I'm understanding you right, by "search" are you referring to the "find what:" and "replace" are you referring to "Change to:" in the Find/Change Window?
