Can I save / apply modifications made to a RAW image?

Sep 28, 2011 4:26 PM

I have made modifications to one image that is in a series that all need, more or less, the same modifications made to them. Is it possible to save settings given to an image and then apply those to another image? How is this done?

 

TIA,

 

Ken

    Selecting all the images you want to apply the setting, then hit SYNC... choose the setting you want to copy over and hit ok.

    Another way, right click on the photo you edit, then go to Developing Settings -> Copy Setting, choose setting you want to copy. Then select images you want, right click and Developing Settings -> Paste Setting.

    Do I need to do this for each setting then? I have several settings for the image I want to apply all modifications from to other similar images. Is this not possible?

    It the Mac LR is like Windows, it's a one-click thing. A dialog box pops up with all available settings, and the ones you've activated ticked: you're then asked if you want to copy all of them.

     

    Cick "yes", job done.

    Yes, you can choose multiple settings. Once you click on Sync, a new window will pop up and you can put check mark into fields that you want to copy over to new image.

    Since I am new to this, I have not been able to find a 'Sync' setting in the pull-down menus, so I assume it is available through some other means. The right click, which is control-click on a Mac gives a menu but not with 'Sync' but it does have develop settings, which when I choose that gives me a menu for choices which I then click on apply but nothing happens. I have a target image selected for this first trial run. How does the program know what the source image is? I get no menus alluding to a source image.

     

    I guess I need a little more basic steps to this.

     

    Using LR 3.5 on a Mac with Lion OSX.

     

    PS, I assume that I am also supposed to be in 'Library' mode because it has the capability of selecting multiple images where 'Develop' just shows one image at a time.

    Once you have more than one image selected, the "Previous" button in Develop changes to "Sync...":

    This is the missing information I needed. I now am on-track for application of previous modifications from one image to another. Thanks to all here.

    Is the source determined by first image being selected and the choosing to 'copy' the settings? Then, next selecting the images you want to affect and then choosing sync?

    The source is the most selected image (i don't know if I use the correct LR term). When you select multiple images, there is one image in that selection with brighter gray and it is your source image. Most of the time, it would be the first image you selected. But you can change the source image without deselect them all.

    Thank you. Every 'more information' is helpful.
