LCA weirdness?

Edward Caruso
I have a folder with alot of files around 200 w/ different exposure and rating settings applied all over the place. I definitely don't want to change them. There is a crop applied that I want to remove from all of them before editing so I go to the crop palette, remove the crop from the main image (the orange bracket icon is activated) click the LCA icon click copy then select the images, go back to the crop LCA and click apply. nothing happens. I know I can go to the adj palette and copy/apply there but the LCA is supposed to be faster. what's wrong with what i described? thanks

    With CO5 (but also 4 and 3) you can apply an adjustment to other images. However, a no-adjustment state like 'remove crop' can not be copied. Fortunately, you can do a local tool reset. I explain below how.

    Select all images you like to reset a particular adjustment, the crop for example. In your tool now Shift+click the local reset icon (curved arrow). Due to the shift-key modifier, the reset will affect all selected.

    actually removing a corp using the LCA should work. What you are doing wrong though is going to the LCA tool twice. IfWhen you click the LCA button to bring up the window it automatically copies the setting... therefore if you no longer have the uncropped image as you primary variant it will copy the new crop setting from whatever your primary variant is.

    Remove the crop from the image, select the images you want to remove crops from using shift click or command click so that your uncropped image is still the primary image. Then Click LCA and Apply.

    The way you were doing it before you would have needed to use the regular apply tool since the LCA copy function stores the setting in the adjustments clipboard.

    I hope this makes sense. 😊

    Jon, I tried this but was not successful, so probably I did something wrong. IMHO, you can not copy/paste or LCA a setting you have removed.

    Further on I agree with your comments regarding the way you can use LCA.

    when it comes to crop you can... because the crop of an image is not a structured like other adjustments. In other words the crop is defined whether there is a crop or not.

    Thanks Jon for the explanation. For one reason or another it seems I am not able to copy that behavior. When I reset a crop on an image I am not able to copy that to other images like I copy a particular crop. Of course, I can use the local reset, but that was not the issue here. Don't understand why, but I can live with it. (CO 5.1.1 Pro, OS X 10.5.😎
