Is there a one click save all edits to copies of photos option?

HI,
    Assuming... I have this correct... is there a way to export and merge all your "edits" with your photos and save them as copies with one click rather than individually / one at a time? 
Why?  Ultimately so I can save my resulting good photos... thousands... as copies that I can use with other apps... or NO apps.
But why?   OK, I am new and uncomfortable with the file system in lightroom.  The way I understand it is you create a catalog, basically thumbnails of your images on your drive.  Then any edits you do become part of a metafile, which is a large database of all your edits for all your photos in one file.  When you pull up an image from a "catalog" (assuming you have not moved it) LR pulls up the image and combines it with the edits you made from the "metafile" to show you your edited photo.
OK, but why?   Because I use other software and AFTER my year is up, I may not renew. 
The file system seems geared to make you dependent on Adobe and frankly, if that is so, it bothers me greatly.  (Wait till SharePoint catches up to us.)
1) do not want my modified images locked up or my edits inaccessible.
2) I would like to try and learn it Adobe's way, and not have multiple copies all over the place.
3) but I am going to have to give up my hierarchy and easy way to find and save pics to do it Adobe's way  (which I still do not completely understand.)
4) There are some things I do very easily with Photoshop and Cannot use Adobe until I figure them out... if at all possible.
SO before I commit to a years purchase.   Can someone answer my rather direct question as stated in the first two lines.
Thank you,
Kevin
I am old school, been using computers since before the 286's and the catalogs and this proprietary stuff is confusing because I have not found an explanation that helps me ask the right questions or explains it the way I need it.  So, aside from the intro training videos... if anyone knows a information source that is useful, direct, to the point (that does not make you sit in your chair going ... My God, I have other things to do today, get to the point... Please share.  I will consider every link.  (I am used to being the Go To guy and this is frustrating.)

Because I use other software and AFTER my year is up, I may not renew.
In which case, all parts of Lightroom except develop and map are still available to you, indefinitely, which allows you to export your edited photos from Lightroom after you stop paying the subscription.
Is there a one-click way to save every edited photo? No, but you can do it with multiple clicks (Select All Photos, File->Export, set the desired options, click on Export), and even given all of your misgivings about Lightroom (which many people share and many people don't share), that seems to me like overkill. Worst case scenario: you stop paying your subscription and then you can still perform this export at that time.

    Hello Michael,
    Yes, there is. Look in the Inspector - Adjustment Tab:

  • Can be set with one click that all senders are approved?

    Can be set with one click that all senders are approved?
    Example: folder inside POP3/IMAP have many folders. Can be approved email sender's or each sender needs to be added into UNwanted list?

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if I understand the request clearly, it seems you want to find an easy way to set all the mail senders in a folder as blocked senders or safe senders, correct?
    I'm not sure which version of Outlook you are using, for Outlook 2013, there's no such quick method to do that by one click, you will need to use the Junk E-mail Options to add the senders to the Safe Senders or Blocked Senders list.
    You can learn more information from Use Junk Email Filters to control which messages you see:
    http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/use-junk-email-filters-to-control-which-messages-you-see-HA102749438.aspx
    From the link above, please note if you have existing lists of safe names and addresses, you can move that information into Outlook. Click
    Import from File and browse for the list file that you want. To create a file that uses your current list, click
    Export to File and then specify where you want the new file saved.

  • I have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

    i have an ipod 5 and im changing my apple id. Is there any way to save all of my music and contacts?

    Why are you changing your ID?
    iTunes/app purchases are locked to the account that purchased them. For some actions like updating apps you have to sign into the account that purchased them. Just changing the ID does not not delete any media from the iPod.
    When you delete the iCloud account for the iPod should should be offered the option to leave contacts on the iPod. See:

    It seems you lack the rights to change the file, so you may want to repair permissions.
    Do you have administrator rights?

  • How to save new edits and text to photo without creating a new file

    I am a new user of PSE 7.  I am able to enhance and add text to my photos but can't save the edits without creating a new PSD PSE file in addition to the original unedited photo.  How do I save the phto itself as edited?

    If you really want to make your changes irreversible then use “Save As” and select file type from the dropdown list e.g. jpeg and enter the exact same file name as the original. Click OK to save and OK to overwrite the original.
    While this of course is the answer to the question, the idea of overwriting the original is simply a bad idea. If you do this, you can never get back to your original and start again. That text will always be there.
    I advise the original poster not to do this. Save your edits as a different name.

  • One-click 'Save as jpeg' shortcut script please! - saved in the same folder

    Hi, I've been re-directed here because I was told a script could solve my problems - but I have no scripting experience/knowledge/ability! Below is my original problem and post. I got as close as 2 button presses, but I'm after that sweet, sweet single-button, double-my-productivity shortcut! Thanks!
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1106992
    I use 'Save as .jpeg' ALL the time (Photoshop CS6, Mac ML), and it really feels like I should just be able to press one button (a shortcut) and the name/quality dialogs don't appear and it just saves a .jpeg into the folder that my original .PSD/file is in.
    So basically:
    - Press one button to save my open .PSD/file as a .jpeg
    - Automatically save it in the same folder as my .PSD
    - Save it as '10' quality in the jpeg settings
    - No dialog boxes, as soon as I press the button, it saves it - if there's already a .jpeg of the same name, it creates a '-1','-2' etc.
    I've tried using 'Actions', but it seems to save it wherever my original Action folder was - it doesn't change to whatever the current folder the .PSD is in...
    Thanks!

    File -> Scripts -> Script Events Manager
    Click Enable Events at the top
    Select Save Document from Photoshop Event  drop down
    Select Save Extra JPEG from Script drop down
    Click Add
    Click Done
    EVERY document you save, except JPEG files, will save a jpg file. Saving will be slower.
    You will need to modify line 62 of the Save Extra JPEG.jsx file located here: <YOUR_PHOTOSHOP_INSTALL_LOCATION>\Presets\Scripts\Event Scripts Only
    In order to boost your quality to '10'. Here is the line in question
    jpegOptions.quality = 2; // really low
    Change it to
    jpegOptions.quality = 10; // really high
    You will need to modify the script to get this problem solved as well: it saves it - if there's already a .jpeg of the same name, it creates a '-1','-2' etc.
    You can steal code out of Image Processor that finds a file name that is unique for the folder so you don't get overwrites.
    Are you sure you want that? If you do lots of saves you are going to fill up your disk fast.

  • Is there a clipboard that saves all things i copied? i think i might've deleted a lot of precious pictures and I'm about to cry.

    i cut all of them from iPhoto and accidentally copied the file I was going to paste them to instead of pasting them to the file. are they all gone? Is there a clipboard? I'm freaking out right now these pictures are so valuable and I don't have other copies of them!

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    how did you "cut them from iPhoto"?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    do you have a backup copy of the library, i.e. as thru Time Machine or some other backup strategy?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Is there a one-click white balance available?

    I'd like to click on something in post to set the white balance, similar to how I can do it in Aperture. I see it in Final Cut Pro, but I don't know about FCE4.
    Anything like that?

    Final Cut PRO?!? Taylor, you've got better tools in there. I think it's the three up color corrector. I don't have Pro, so I'm not sure what it's called.
    I go to Filters/Video Filters/Color Corrector and click the Visual button to get the color wheels and sliders at the bottom. To the bottom left of the Balance wheel is a tiny (I DO mean tiny) arrow. Click that and then move your cursor over the canvas. The cursor becomes an eyedropper. Click on something white or neutral grey to snap your overall color into shape. Tweak accordingly, afterwards. Warm it up or cool it down, based on your needs. Holding the command button and shift button while dragging the circle in the center of the balance wheel affects how fast the color changes.
    HTH!
