1. Re: How can I apply an image adjustment to all files in a folder?
areohbee Aug 6, 2013 6:35 PM (in response to pickfordpictures)1. select folder (folder pane on left).
2. select all files (e.g. Ctrl/Cmd-A).
3.a. In grid mode, use quick develop for relative (and coarse) adjustment of critical settings.
3.b. In develop module, enable auto-sync, then make absolute adjustments to be applied to all - dont' forget to turn auto-sync off afterward.
Note - you can also copy/paste and use manual sync - which work as expected for me. If you're still having trouble with those, we may need to talk some more...

Excellent point about remembering to disable auto sync after you are finished. Even though I know that, I occasionally forget. I once had a folder of 150 images of different-sized artwork, plus 150 virtual copies. The master images had all been individually cropped to the artwork borders, while the virtual copies had been left uncropped. I made a global density adjustment, then noticed an image that needed a crop adjustment. Without remembering to disable auto sync, I made the crop adjustment, which was then applied to all files. I was not able to back out of it in History because each image had previously been cropped individually to the borders of each artwork (rather than a global crop for all files).
Do you know a way I might have backed out of that crop adjustment and gone back to the original crops? I was only able to go back to the uncropped images as they had been imported, or accept the crop for that one image applied to all files in the folder.

Here are the (potential) ways I can think of at the moment:
* Undo (if you haven't gone too far since, or exited)
* edit history (1-by-1)
* read metadata (if previously saved prior to snafu/oops).
* restore backup catalog (if no saved metadata).
* ScrewAutoSync (if fixed number of steps to rollback for all afflicted photos).
