Import Query

Simon Carlton
Trying to get my head around how C 1 applies import defauilts compared to Lightroom.

In Lightroom, you set up a preset for importing, at say, +1 stop exposure, some noise reduction and sharpening . Lightroom will apply those adjustments to every image, so if one image is already over exposed by +1, it will now be exposed by +2.

When importing in C 1, do the import defaults adjust images individually, so for the above example the image that is over exposed would be after import correctly exposed or as above in Lightroom, still overexposed.

Hopefully you can understand what I am getting at.

Thanks

    If you were to apply something on import, such as +1 stop exposure, it will add one stop to the existing image. So if your image was overexposed in camera, it will 1 stop extra overexposed when you import it.

    Sorry Ian, I didn't explain my question properly! D'OH!! 😄

    What if you imported 10 images say, 6 correctly exposed, 2 under and 2 over.
    Would the import default settings in C1 give you 10 correctly exposed images or will you still have 6 correctly exposed, 2 under and 2 over.

    The reason I ask is that I shoot football and rugby predominately and often have images that can be in bright sunshine or under the shadows of a stand. I try as much as possible to get it right in camera but it's not always possible.

    I am wondering if C 1 adjusted images en mass or individually.

    Thanks

    If you check the Auto option on import, it will apply automatic exposure adjustments.

    Thanks John.

    Just what I was looking AND hoping for.
    Just imported two identical images, one 2 stops under exposed and the other 2 stops over exposed.

    The under came out really well, the over was still over but a lot better than the original.

    Cheers. 😊
