Pasting settings to multiple images in Flimstrip

Hi - this is probably a basic question but I may have missed the "how to."
When I finish adjusting (in the Develop Module) and I click "copy" and select the items I want to copy, then what I want to do is apply (paste) these settings into a number of images.
What I'm doing is then I highlight ("Crtl+Click") several images in the Filmstrip.  Once these images are highlight (filmstrip images highlighted), I then click "Paste" - but the only image that is changed (settings applied) is the first filmstrip image.
How do I select in the filmstrip the images I want to adjust (apply the copied settings) and have the settings applied to all the selected images?
I'm sure this is obvious and there has got to be a way to apply this "recipe" to all the selected images without having to create a collection or do it one-at-a-time.
This is proably the same issue, but when I want to rotate several images (in the Library module), if I select them in the flimstrip, only the first image rotates when I click the clock-wise or counter-clock-wise arrow.  Same issue?  Can this be done in the filmstrip?
Thanks

Thanks - one would think selecting multiple images in the filmstrip, you could then paste the settings to those selected.  Guess I had better read about Sync.
Yep, it took me a while to figure out that wouldn't work.
And, what is Auto Sync used for?   Lot to learn.
I'm pretty knew to LR, too, but I think this will automatically apply changes to multiple images in real time. So if, for example, you raise the black slider by 5, it will be raised by 5 in all the images you have sync'd.
So, there really isn't any Grid in the Develop Module - you have to switch from Develop to Library, right?
Right
I've gotten a lot of use out of Scott Kelby's Lightroom 3 for Digital Photographers book. There's a lot of stuff hidden in LR that you'll never figure out on your own.

  • Copy Settings to multiple images - STILL A NOT WORKING AFTER MANY VERSIONS!

    I have reported the problem of pasting settings to multiple images for many versions and this simple bug is STILL present in LR4!
    In develop module, make changes to an image, click Copy button, select settings to copy.
    Now, select a range or a number of images to which you want to paste the settings, click Paste button.  Guess what?  Only the first image gets the settings!
    This functionality should work and is even documented in the manual.  There are other ways of copying settings but I can never remember how to do this.
    Am I doing something wrong or is this a genuine bug that only seems to affect a few people (I did a web search for V3), or do people just not use this function?
    Please developers, fix this bug if it really is a bug!

    Thanks Dorin for the information.
    I guess I am just frustrated that the program does not work the way it is documented.  There are two very prominent buttons, Copy & Paste and they don't work as documented or as you would expect them to.
    With sync you have to navigate menus to do what one click of the mouse should accomplish.  All I want is some acknowledgement from Adobe that this is a bug and for it to be adressed.  As a long-time IT person I know this would be VERY easy to fix.  If it cannot be fixed then update the documentation.
    Oh well, enough said.  I still love LR!!!

  • Copy/Paste Develop Settings for multiple images

    I'm trying to update some settings on multiple images. In Develop mode, I start by making the corrections to a single image, and then click the "Copy ..." button. I then select multiple images in the Filmstrip and click "Paste". This works just fine, but only on the 1st image/highlighted image, and not the whole selection. Am I doing something wrong here? Shouldn't I be able to update multiple images, at once, like a batch process?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Lee Jay
    How do you know this is on purpose? It seems like a bug to me.
    See this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2951457
    If your reasoning was correct, how come the settings do paste to the entire target selection and not just the active image when the toggle in the lower right hand side of the screen is switched to Auto Sync?
    Would love to hear more of your insight, because this is really confusing me.

  • Cannot paste develop settings to multiple images in Lightroom 3

    I have just started using Lightroom 3 and am only able to paste develop settings to one image.  If I select multiple images it will only paste the setting to the active image, not all selected images. I never had this issue with Lightroom 2.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi Dorin
    I think the complaint is still valid - there should be no reason that you should have to toggle to Auto Sync before being able to paste your develop settings to the entire target selection, not just the active image in the selection. It should work with that switch toggled to Sync mode as well -- there is obviously a bug here.
    I am having the identical problem as the original poster. I am using LR 3.3 on a Mac, OS 10.6.5, in other words I cannot get develop settings to copy to all my selected target images while I am in the Develop module, only the active image within the target images, without toggling the Sync button to Auto Sync.
    This even after the release notes for 3.3 say they have corrected for the problem "Paste Settings did not apply to all images in the Develop module Filmstrip" (see http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2010/12/lightroom-3-3-and-camera-raw-6-3-now-avail able.html)
    This is silly. How do we ask Adobe to correct this bug?
    Cheers

  • Paste Develop Settings into multiple images ?

    I develop a particular image that has similar light and exposure to many that follow, so I want to past those develop settings into the several images that follow. I highlight the several remaining images at the bottom shown thumbnails. I paste the develop setting. The setting seems to be applied to only the LAST image that I selected. Is this behaviour as expected?
    I've only been able to manually paste the development settings into each of the images, ONE AT A TIME, which is quite tedious, compared to being able to do it to a group of images at once.
    I would prefer to be able to paste the development setting to multiple images in one fell swoop.

    Or use Auto Sync mode in Develop. Select multiple images in filmstrip or in Library's grid, then in Develop Ctrl/Cmd (Win/Mac) click the Sync button and it'll change to Auto Sync. Once it's on, it stays on. I almost always work this way - YMMV.
    The modal thing is no big deal, just smoke thrown up by Aperture fans who're smart enough to spot differences and creative enough to twist them into a way of justifying their fanboyism. Library works on cached data, Develop accesses the original data. Once you get into Auto Sync, and learn your keyboard shortcuts, modal is nearly irrelevant.

  • How can I copy develop settings on multiple images from one folder to another?

    I have a bunch of Fuji X-T1 raw images that I have converted to DNG form. Once Lightroom supports X-T1 raw images directly, I would like to replace the DNG files by the corresponding raw files (which I have saved) without having to redo all of my edits.
    I've tried an experiment with a NEF file, which Lightroom supports: If I convert it to a DNG file, import the DNG file, then replace the DNG file with the corresponding NEF file, Lightroom still thinks the file is named DNG. This behavior makes me nervous.
    So what I would like to do is to import all of the Fuji raw files, then transfer the develop settings from each DNG file to the corresponding raw file, then finally archive and delete the DNG files.
    Is there any way to do this other than by hand? That is, if I have a folder with a few hundred DNG files, is there any way to tell Lightroom to take the develop settings of every file in the folder and transfer them to the correspondingly named file in the folder of raw files?
    If not, can someone suggest to me a way of accomplishing this that does not involve copying and pasting the data for every image by hand?

  • Set image colour settings for multiple images

    In my workflow I place (Adobe)RGB images into InDesign. PDF export takes care of the RGB to CMYK conversion (convert to destination with preserve numbers).
    However this uses the default rendering intent for every conversion: relative colorimetric.
    For images, i want to use perceptual.
    Is there a way to quickly select all images and change the rendering intent?
    All the images have the same ojbect style. Unfortunately i could not find a way to couple the rendering intent to the object style.

    You can do it it via Assign Profiles...
    It can also be scripted, something like this AppleScript:
    tell application "Adobe InDesign CS6"
        tell active document
            set imgs to all graphics
            repeat with x from 1 to count imgs
                if class of item x of imgs is image then
                    try
                        set image rendering intent of item x of imgs to perceptual
                    end try
                end if
            end repeat
        end tell
    end tell

  • How do use the same crop for multiple images.

    I have a number of images that I want to use the same crop on. Instead of go through the whole slow process for each image is there a way to use the same crop for all of the images?
    And in iPhoto there was a way to copy the adjustment settings to multiple images, I can't see how to do that in aperture.

    Use the "Lift&Stamp" tool:
    Crop one image.
    Lift the crop using the "Lift" tool.
    Select the other images.
    Stamp the crop adjustment to all of them.
    But caution: By default "Lift" will copy all Metadata tags and all adjustments, but the gps data. If you only want to transfer the cropping rectangle, deselect all lifted items but the crop adjustment before stamping.

  • Lightroom paste settings not working

    I have noticed this problem in every edition of LR4. About 50% of the time right-click paste settings in develop module does not appear work.Typically this will happen when I have quickly selected a new image in the filmstrip and tried to paste settings while the image is still loading, or immediately after loading. I have noticed the following behaviour when trying to use right-click paste settings:
    The lightroom taskbar processes to show that a task is working
    Paste settings appears a new event in the history panel
    The main image preview shows no change whatsoever
    This happens regardless of what kind of settings are being pasted
    Keyboard shortcut for paste settings work every time no problem
    Using the 'Previous' button works fine
    Here's the thing: when I hover the mouse over the paste settings event in the history panel, the image navigator thumbnail shows the image with the settings applied even though the main image appears not to have made any changes. I can click back one stage in the history and then click on the paste settings event and the main image updates. So for some reason, right-click paste settings is working but just not showing up on the main image. Any idea why, and how can this be fixed?
    My settings: intel quad core, 8gb ram, Win7, brand new install (only lightroom 4.3 and windows running), cleared and replaced image previews.
    [For what its worth, this and the many many other bugs in LR4 compared to the excellent LR3 make me wish I had never bought it - disappointing QC from Adobe in this product.]

    You should install 4.4.1 update before anything else.

  • How to paste exposure setting to multiple images

    Hi all:
    I know this question has probably been asked many times but I couldn't find any answer using the search so please be patient with me. :)
    I came from the world of RawShooter Premium and I realized that my version of RSP can't read RAW file from the Canon 30D so I got the Adobe Lightroom to process my images. All is well until I decide to paste the exposure setting from one image to multiple images. I know there is a copy and paste button in the "develop" mode but it doesn't paste the settings (color temp, exposure, noise, etc) to all the images even when I highlighted the images I want to paste. I can do that in RSP, which save a lot of time.
    Can anyone shed some light on this? I would really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ben

    In develop, copy and paste only works on the selected image. You can sync or auto sync (control-sync) there.
    If you want to copy and paste to multiple images using shift-control-C and shift-control-V, you can do that in grid mode.

  • I have a dual monitor setup.  When I paste develop settings from one image to another, Lightroom switches the active window.

    Strange problem.  Lightroom 5.5.  Windows 8.1. Dual monitor setup.
    I'm processing a large batch of photos.  I have Monitor #1 set as my main develop window, with Monitor #2 set only to display a larger version of the image I'm working with. If I copy the develop settings off of one image and try to paste them onto another image, Lightroom will switch from Monitor #1 to Monitor #2 as the main develop window, and will not display anything on Monitor #1.
    If I then try to paste develop settings onto another image on Monitor #2, LR will then display a larger version of the image I'm working with on Monitor #1.
    To work the way I want to, I have to continually drag my develop window back to Monitor #1 every time I try to paste develop settings onto a new image. How can I make this stop?

    I just tried what I think you’re saying you’re doing and I don’t have the problem with LR 5.5 on Windows 7 SP 2.
    Does the same thing happen whether you use the key shortcuts vs the Settings / Copy/Paste options on the menu?
    I ask this because if you’re using the keyboard shortcuts, maybe you have some display-manager program that has bound itself to the Ctrl-Shift-V (paste settings) to the function of move-to-other-monitor which would do at least part of what you describe.
    You can also test this theory by doing a Ctrl-Shift-V with an application other than LR as the active window and see if it moves.  I suppose Ctrl-Shift-C might also play into it so try both of these hot-key combinations with a program that isn’t LR.
    If none of this sheds any light on the situation, then give a more detailed description of the low-level functions you’re doing to accomplish the copy-paste of settings, so someone else could replicate the steps exactly.
    Specific detailed steps, like:
    left-click on source photo’s thumbnail in the filmstrip
    press Ctrl-Shift-C to copy the settings
    click Check-None
    enable the white-balance and calibration checkboxes
    click Ok
    left-click on destination photo's thumbnail in the filmstrip
    click on Settings / Paste Settings in LR’s menus to paste the settings to the selected photo

  • 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!

  • Crop, can you use for multiple images?

    If you are doing copy work, is there a way to save a crop and use it on multiple images as you might drag an adjusment layer to other images? thanks.

    this is best done in ACR?
    That's what I was going to suggest, actually. If you're working with a file format ACR can take (raw, DNG, JPEG, TIFF), ACR will definitely be the fastest way. You can select them all in ACR, apply a crop, and they all get it.
    Or you can crop one image in ACR, exit ACR and select the image in Bridge, and choose Edit > Develop Settings > Copy Camera Raw Settings. Then select any other images you want to crop the same way, choose Edit > Develop Settings > Paste Camera Raw Settings, and select only Crop as the setting to paste.
    Either way, you'll be done in 30 seconds, much faster than it would take in Photoshop.

  • CS4: Applying settings to unopened image files

    Is it possible to apply settings to image files without first opening all the image files?

    You do know that you can open multiple raw images in Camera Raw, select All and Synchronize them, don't you?
    In Bridge you can also select multiple files, then Edit > Develop Settings > Paste Settings.
