LR 5.4 changing exposure on multiple photos on it's own

Using LR 5.4, fully patched on Mac Book Pro also all patched up (10.9.2). I process 800 - 1000 photos at a time from sports events, use presets a lot, also autosync to save time. Yesterday though, after completion of the process, suddenly lightroom started reverting the exposure back to a darker level, on some, but not all photos. Right in front of my eyes. Did not have multiple photos selected, nor autosync on. had only one photo selected, did not click on any preset. It seems to have left other settings (clarity, HSL, Lens Corrections, etc) alone. Any ideas? I spent a lot of time getting things right only to now have to go back and fix those photos that were affected.

Hi Rob,
If you mean the history list for any one photo, on the left hand side, no. Are there other history logs I should look at? But no, I've been post processing this way for a few years now. Just started happening after the last batch I imported last Saturday. Actually did not start until I had finished post and uploaded the picked and processed photos to one site, then was uploading to my personal site and noticed in looking at the thumbnails that some were suddenly way underexposed. Went back to LR and noticed same thing.
Then while I was in develop mode some of the thumbnails across the bottom started getting their exposure shifted back, just like you'd be applying a preset or autosync, but I only had one photo selected at the time.

How to change duration of multiple photos

Greetings - I'm trying to change the duration of multiple photos in iMovie. Basically, I'm trying to change the duration of about 300 images (to make a time-lapse movie), but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
I need to change the duration of every photo to 0:03, but when when I do so, it automatically imports the photos with a duration of 9:29, and I can only change the duration of individual photos after import. I made a time-lapse move a while ago but can't remember how to do it. Any thoughts?

Select a group of your stills in the time line. (I would do maybe 30 at a time, because to do the whole 300 at once might overwhelm the machine -- though you could try.) Then go to Media > Photos > Show Photo Settings. In the Show Photo settings dialogue box, set your duration to 0:03, and then hit Update. The selected photos should all update to 0:03. You may need to remove the transitions first.
Another way would be to set your duration for 0:03 on the first photo that you import into your timeline. Then all other photos that you import afterwards will have that same duration.

Changing metadata for multiple photos at one time

Hi,
Is there a way to change the metadata (ie information) of multiple photos at a single time.
For example, I have a ton of pictures from a vacation. I would like to be able to select all of those photos and add the name of the vacation to all of them.
Thanks,
BT

1) Select all the photos you would like to modify
2) Select Photos->Batch Change
3) Set the drop-down to 'Comments'
Have at it!

Batch change clip duration - multiple photos in iMovie 11

Hi everyone,
Many thanks to anyone who can help. I know about clicking on the cogwheel to adjust the duration of a single photo, or to apply to ALL photos, but what I'd like to do is select a group of photos out of all the ones I've already added to my movie, and I'd like to adjust the duration of just those photos. Any ideas??
Again, thanks so much if you can help!
Frizzy

Hi AppleMan1958,
I tried what you suggested to batch-adjust clip length with 'Show Advanced Tools' checked, but under 'Paste Adjustment', there's still no 'Clip Adjustment' option. None of the available options under it (All, Video, Crop, Video Effect, Speed) works.
This problem is very frustrating!
Is there a setting to allow you to change clip lengths and transition as you progress through the slide show? And if you make changes in the middle section of the project, then the part ahead of it simply shunts back and forth, instead of changing clip length and transition duration on its own.
I use a MacBook Pro running OS X and iMovie 11.
Regards,

Can't change duration of multiple photos

In iMovie 5 I was able to change the duration of multiple still photos all at once, but this feature does not seem to work in iMovie 6. I've searched the topics on this forum and tried the suggestions I found but nothing works. I can't even import a single photo with the duration I choose - iMovie defaults to a duration of 00:02 if I choose 00:05, for example. I'm creating a stop-motion movie from hundreds of photos and double-clicking on each one to set the duration seems ridiculous. Any ideas?

Hi rattlebrain - welcome to the forum!
It does work in iMovie 6:
Establish the duration you want as default before importing the pics, and also decide then whether or not you want to import with the KB effect selected.
To update after they have been imported, select them all in the Timeline/Clips View, then in the Photos Pane adjust the duration with the slider, and hit Update.
Note - you may have to click the "show photo settings" button to access the floating settings pane.

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.

Applying relative curve changes to multiple photos

Is there a way to apply same changes to the tonal curve to multiple photos while keeping their curve shapes relatively intact? For example, I want to make all Darks and Shadows 20 points lower. I know I can't make it with a preset as it contains absolute, not relative figures. I want something like Quick Develop (which are relative) except applied to the curve itself. Perhaps there's a mass edit plugin?

How to change "capture time" of multiple photos to a specific time?

Hi guys,
For some reason I'm trying to change "capture time" of multiple photos to a specific time.
I know that there is "Edit Capture Time" feature under Metadata.
But when I try to edit multiple photos, it says that "Modify the capture time stored in the selected photos by entering the correct time adjustment for the photo displayed to the left. Other photos (but not vidieos) will be adjusted by the same amount of time". And it really does.
For example,
If A file's capture time is 1/11/2011
B file's capture time is 1/11/2012
C file's capture time is 1/11/2013
I would like to change their capture time to 1/11/2014. All the three files.
But the current "Edit Capture Time" feature of Lightroom just adds three years to each file like this:
A file's capture time -> 1/11/2014
B file -> 1/11/2015
C file -> 1/11/2016
So their capture times remain as different ones. And this is not I want...
What should I do?
I've googled a lot and tried several programs other than lightroom as well, but the "Capture time" recognized by lightroom could not be changed by other programs.
I would greatly appreciate your help.

Sorry - I didn't see where you'd mentioned that you'd chosen the correct option, so I thought best to rule that out first.
Anyway, it sounds like a bug, which can be reported here:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/products/photoshop_family_photoshop_lightro om
In the mean time, you can use exiftool, or try your luck with the exif-write function of the exif-meta plugin, e.g.:
Note: if you use exiftool, you need to save metadata first, make the change, then read metadata in Lightroom, otherwise capture-time changes will be ignored by Lr.

Is there a fast way to change size and Res in multiple photos?

I have cs5 and am trying to change 70 to 100 photos from 4288x2848 300ppi psd, To 1000x664 at 72ppi jpeg quickly. Is there an easy way? If there is not a fast way to do it what is the best way to do it? Any help would be appreciated.

Yep it can be done in bridge.
First copy the files to another folder for protection.(just in case something went wrong)
Select all of the files then click the export tab (may need upgrading of bridge to see the tab, not sure)
Double click save to hard drive,
The Image options tab will let you change the size of the image. However it looks like the resizing is restrained only and does not offer a ppi setting.
Your other option is to use image processor.
First create an action that will change the ppi.
Now it just a matter of running image processor and tell it what folder has the images you want changed, what folder you want the new images at, The file type and file size, and finally the action you just created.
image processor can be run from photoshop (file>scripts>image processor) or bridge (tools>photoshop>image processor)
Whether or not ppi has to be change depends on what you are using the images for. Prints require it to set the print size, for the screen it is not required since the screen has no way of knowing how to use ppi.

Selecting multiple photos, then one photo -changes applied to all

I must be missing something very basic.
In Aperture ( & in Lightroom) I've noticed that there are 3 levels of brightness in the view panels - ie. if I select all, all photos light up. If I then select only one photo, it becomes a bit brighter. And if I make a change to that one photo the changes are applied to all of the photos.
This drives me nuts & has gotten me in trouble a few times (I selected all of one folder to sort by filename, then decided to rename one photo in that folder & so selected that photo - & watched in horror as all of the photos got renamed! Not nice. Especially since I couldn't undo it.)
Is here any way that I can change this? I know that I could deselect all before selecting & making a change to only one photo, but that is tedious & I keep forgetting to do it.

Edit>Primary Only will turn this on and off. But you should still have been able to undo the name change...

Photo Display being Black after Changing Exposure

Multiple photo edit in CS6?

I searched, but could not find an answer to this basic question.
I use LightRoom 3 to simultaneously modify multiple photos. For example, I will use the "grid" vew to show hundreds of photos. I will then select the ones that I want to modify (i.e. maybe they are under exposed). I will then adjust the exposure setting to modify all the selected photos. I might then select a different set of photos and change some other parameter.
Is this same functionality available in CS6? I wasn't sure if you could simultaneously modify multiple photos or if it was intended more for one photo at a time.
Thanks,

As in Photoshop CS6?
Then you may still be a bit off, because that would probably rather refer to Camera Raw.

Lightroom, like Acrobat, seems not to be part of the CS-product cycle.

PSE7: is it possible to process multiple photos?

Hi all
I am new here, and I am just learning to use PSE7 for my scanned slides (I am still shooting film only). My question is can you process (in PSE7) let's say whole film, scanned in TIFF, kept in one folder..............I read "Process multiple files"; and also in my PSE7 book I have there is mentioned proses multiple photos in camera RAW........ none seem to do what I would like to. The thing is I need to do one or two simple adjustmens (like warm it up and change tint a bit) and than aply it to whole folder (37 pics), since it is a sequence with identical lighting and the same colors and exposure (all I do is to try match slides as closely as possible) Is there a way to do it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not this kind of one in PSE.
In photoshop you can create action and then run it on your images. You can use that created action in PSE but you can not create action from PSE

How can i add multiple photos to an imovie at once from my ipad?

I am trying to create an imovie of photos that I have stored on my ipad using my ipad. It is only letting me add one photo at a time which is taking way too long. Is there a way to add multiple photos at once? Also, can I apply changes (like removing the Ken Burns effect all at once from all of the pictures? Hopefully I dont have to do it one at a time or it will take waay too long!
thanks

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.
