Lightroom question

[RumDaddy]

I thought I posted this already but cant seem to find it so if I did. Sorry. Lets say you got 10 or 15 almost identical images in Lightroom and you just want to turn up one color or make them all black and white. Ive been highlighting all 10 of them but when I try to edit them all at once it only edits one of them. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Well you haven't mentioned what version you have...but if it's Lightroom 3 you can use the little slider at the top left of each section to enable a kind of "group settings" option. Do the modifications on one of them and enable it, then enable it on the others to clone those options.

Open Lightroom.

Select the Develope module.

With the Develope module open, press F1. That will take you to: Photoshop Lightroom Help and Support.

Under Getting Started and Help, click on Photoshop Lightroom 3 Help.

Once that opens, click on Developing photos.

Next click on Apply Develope adjustments to other photos and choose from the several options described there.

Good luck with your quest.

Easiest way is to tweak one photo and then sync it across the others you want that done to.

On the lower right of your develop module there are two buttons, one says "Sync." Click that when all the ones you have selected (with the reference photo highlighted in the selection), and you will be able to select which aspects of the photo you want to sync over all the photos. Make your selections, click "Sync," and done!

I use the 'Sync' button.

First I edit one image, then select the range of photos that I want to have them same editing. Hit Sync and select the things that you want to be applied.

If this is something that you'll do again, you can create a 'preset'. Then, when you want to apply those same settings to other images, you just have to click that preset.
