Relative Adjustment Presets

Perhaps this has already been raised here. The Preset would have all of the current parameters we now enjoy, but the imposed value changes would simply be Relative to the current values, rather than Absolutes values. Any parameter not specified would be Left Alone, not necessarily returned to the default or zeroed- state.
Not sure of the merit of including local adjustments, Brush, Gradient, Spot, Crop, in this idea of Relative Adjustment, however.
John-

I definitely echo this request!  It's a feature that I've wanted since the beginning of Lightroom.  It really seems like it would add to the value of the develop presets.  It would make adding a certain "look" very easy.  Anyway... just wanted to give this idea some love.

  • How to Create and apply adjustment preset for printing

    How can I create an adjustment preset that I can apply to images before I print? In Photoshop CS3, it's easy: I just create an action. But how do I apply a preset that simply shifts existing settings a relative amount instead of applying absolute settings that overwrite image-specific settings?
    The problem is that my Epson R1800 and its profiles output images that have a yellow shift to them. What I want to be able to do is apply a +5 shift to the shadow tint (camera calibration) and a +10 shift to the WB tint on top of whatever settings I already have after development.
    Any ideas?
    (and yes, I do use colour management, my monitor is calibrated, and I instruct LR2 to manage colour and use the profile specific to my printer, paper, and print quality setting)

    No ideas here? Surely someone must have wanted to apply an adjustment to compensate for a printer's tendencies or the different dmax, shadow detail, and colour temperature of various papers and illuminant sources (incandescent vs daylight fluorescent, sunlight), or at least use different tone / contrast settings or different amounts of sharpening (before the new print sharpening facility appeared in LR2).

  • Missing Aperture Built-in  Adjustment Presets

    Hello,

    Delete Aperture from the Applications folder (but don't empty the Trash), then download it again from the Purchased tab of the AppStore. Probably the download was incomplete.

  • Can you combine multiple Adjustment presets in Aperture?

    Is it possible to combine multiple adjustment presets into a single "master" preset setting? I know that I can adjust all the settings on a single photo, and then "lift/stamp" the settings onto multiple photos.
    What I'd like to do is have a single preset that has all of my standard NEF (Raw) adjustments setup as a starting point for my D3 photos. From that point, I can then tweak them individually for the final version.
    I'm finding that I make the same adjustments (Eg: saturation boost, vibrancy, edge sharpen, etc) on most NEF's out of the camera and I'm looking for a faster way to save all the individual tool adjustment presets into a combined "master" preset.
    Any help is appreciated.
    regards
    Tom

    Thanks for the link. I had seen this thread prior to posting my question, as it really just gives other means of using "lift/stamp" to create adjustment presets in a different fashion, using existing images as starting points.
    What I'm still trying to confirm is whether there is a way to create a master combination from all/any individual tool presets adjusted. It seems like "manage presets" should give some type of ability to combine the individual tool presets, but so far, I haven't seen how to do so....

  • ANON: Gazoo - "Always On & Ready" UI for relative adjustment of develop settings, and other things..

    Many people have tried plugins for relative adjustment of develop settings, and the main complaint has always been the same - it takes a few seconds for the UI to come up, and you can't do anything else in Lr while it's up, so it's being invoked, and closed, and invoked, and closed... yuck.
    Those days are over...

  • Organizing local adjustment presets

    How can I organize my local adjustment presets in folders? The list is getting too long and I'd like to organize it! Thanks!

    Use a alphabetic ordering prefix when naming them, e.g.
    001 My First Preset
    002 My Second Preset
    etc.

  • 3.3 Adjustment presets

    I'm in adjustments doing a raw image and I can not find where my presets are?  Used to be in a drop down in inspector?  Where are the presets now?

    The name has been changed to "Effects".
    "Adjustment Presets" are now "Effects".
    There is a tile at the top of the Adjustment Brick stack.  Click it to drop-down a list of your Effects.

  • The adjustment presets no longer work ... appear grey / not highlighted ... any suggestions

    Aperture adjustment presets suddenly do not work ... appear grey / and do not respond to clicks

    I also wonder if this is presets you have imported or the ones that Aperture comes with by default? Or, all of them? But, turning off quick preview mode, if it is on, would be a likely culprit, it seems to me.

  • Convert Adobe Lightroom Preset into Aperture 3 Adjustment Preset

    Hi all,
    Just a quick question... I was a Adobe Lightroom user and recently purchased and switched to Aperture 3 and I love it, however I have a bunch good presets in Lightroom and I would like to convert them into Aperture 3 Adjustment Presets so I can continue on using them. Is there any way of doing it in a simple way (like converting a preset file from one to the other so I can import it into Aperture 3)? Thanks for any help, suggestions etc. in this matter!

    There is no real automated way but it should be easy enough to do. Just take a look at what the preset does in lightroom in terms of what adjustments it uses and what settings are used. Do exactly the same thing to an image in Aperture, then save as a preset.
    I really never understood why people buy "presets" - the adjustment controls are simple and limited compared to what you can do with say a plug-in or even a photoshop action. Replicating the results visually with having no idea what the preset actually did is easy enough - seeing the adjustment blocks it adds and the parameters it is using makes it a no-brainer.

  • Request for relative value adjustment presets

    Once I adjust an image's tonality, my presets will throw the previous tonality adjustments out the window. This discourages me from using presets, unless the initial exposure was spot on.
    I'd like to save two sets of presets. One set, that adjusts the  absolute values to quickly get the tonality about where I want it. Then, another set of relative presets that will apply my 'stylizing' effects, and only tweak the previous tonality adjustments.
    Relative presets would allow for a preset to be applied multiple times to increase its intensity.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Some workarounds to consider for the interim:
    - Break your presets into pieces that exclude things that may be already adjusted well enough in some cases, and apply presets selectively.
    - Use DevAdjust. It does just what you want, although not as seemlessly as a native solution would.

  • Can you adjust preset title effects on Final Cut Pro X

    Im trying to play with the anchor points on a preset title effect called DRAMATICA.  The lettes LEAVE too quickly and don´t allow enough time to be read.
    Can that be done? Is it possible to adjust the titles setting?  Can the anchor point be adjusted for duration?
    Thanks!

    If you mean changing the relative duration of the various phases of the title, you'd have to open a copy in Motion; but be warned that, at least for an inexperienced user of Motion like myself, it seems to be a quite sophisticated title. There are complex behaviors involved, so it is not like some where you'd just publish another parameter and be done with it.

  • Is it possible to apply a saved adjustment preset to a mask

    I am photographing an old photo album that has many badly faded photos. In Aperture I want to be able to apply the same adjustments to the photos on each page without changing the page that they are 'stuck' to.  I can do it with the standard presets but not my saved ones!!  Any ideas?

    You could make several duplicates of the image in Aperture, then crop each of those duplicates to the individual photo you want to adjust, then apply your adjustments.
    Otherwise, you'll need a program which would allow you to make detailed masks, such as Photoshop or Pixelmator. With one of those programs, you could isolate each image with a mask and individually apply adjustments/filters on each one without affecting the "border" areas.

  • PHOTOSHOP CS5 ADJUSTMENT PRESET? *Expert*

    Im currently working on wedding photos right now, and i have a nice color theme to go by.
    Is there a way i can set a whole preset or apply these settings to a batch of photos instead of making changes one by one?
    (settings I'm doing below)
    *activate photo tab in photoshop cs5 window*
    -Smart Sharpen
    -Brightness & Contrast
    -Hue, Saturation (saturating)
    -New Fill Layer (Exclusion)
    -Resize
    -Flatten
    FINISH
    is there any way i can apply these changes to a batch like you can in Camera Raw?
    or can i set some sort of preset??
    i know about the tools preset but that doesn't help with the changes I'm making.
    also, each setting DOES save the latest value i use, but its still inconvenient to open each adjustment the same time for EVRY photo, even using shortcuts.
    considering the power of this program, there MUST be some convenient way to edit more than one photo if I'm applying the same exact setting each time,
    am i missing something here or do i actually have to do these one by one?

    You may also be interested in integrating Camera Raw into your workflow so that you can use it's presets .

  • Presets used for Printing / Relative Develop Presets

    Hi
    I am still not able to produce accurate colors when printing on my HP Color Laserjet CP3505X (the printer does not allow me to disable color management, and yes, I am using a calibrated monitor). Even with the sRGB profiles mentioned here (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2165085#2165085) and printer settings on sRGB I still have a color shift in my prints.
    But I could (by experimenting) find out, what corrections have to be applied to the images for them to come out right in printing (e.g. Temperature +600, Tint +15).
    Is there a way to have such a correction applied while printing, like a preset used only when printing?
    Or, if not, is there a way to define a develop preset which acts relative (cumulative), meaning that I only code the difference of what I want to be added to the rest of the development settings? Such a preset then could be applied as the last action before printing.
    Either method would partially solve my problem.

     Not using Lightroom's controls. What you describe is exactly what a printer profile is supposed to do. 
    I know that this is the purpose of a printer profile. What I would need is a correction (preset) on top of the profile used.
    II. Create a real printer profile. You can either do this using a higher-end calibrator or using one of several services. Usually you download a file. Print it. Mail it to them and they send you back a profile that will work for the combination of ink/paper/printing settings that you used. See for example:
    http://www.inkjetart.com/custom_profiles/
    Or this websearch.
    Since I cannot switch off color management with my printer, I am using the sRGB profile you recommended in this post of yours and let the printer work with sRGB.
    I even would be able to create a printer profile myself (I own a Spyder3Print™ to calibrate a printer). But this involves being able to disable color management in the printer (driver) completely, which seems impossible with the CP3505X .
    So what I would need is a combination of the sRGB profile I use, corrected by lets say 600K temperature and 15 ticks tint. But I have no idea how to get there.
