Auto Exposure - Applying to each picture individually

douglenos
Can C1 Pro apply the auto exp and auto WB to each picture in the capture? I see where you can apply it to one photo and copy it to others... but I have a large batch of pics taken over a long span - I want to auto exp each one (in a batch mode - I don't want to select each photo and hit the auto button)

    douglenos,

    No it cannot. This is an interesting issue though and may be a good Feature Request. The process calculates the result per image, but may be it can be built into the software.

    I'll assume that you have a Session where the images are quite inconsistently shot regarding WB and Exposure; and that one image's settings will not work well with the rest. Are there any Groups of images within the Session that can be adjusted together?
    Letting the 'MagicWand' establish the WB or Exposure of an image can do an impressive job on certain images, although it is not perfect for all. I don't get the impression that this method is used often. This is an example of how important it is to shoot a Session as consistently as possible.
    Handling them one at a time is mundane. The quickest way I see is to use the shortcut keys of Ctrl + W for WB and Ctrl+Shift+W for Exposure. Selecting image > hit keystrokes > arrow down to next image > keystrokes... and so on.


    Sincerely,

    I took about 600 shots of a youth baseball game as the darkness approached... over the 2 hrs the lighting changed dramatically and the exposure varies. I am comparing the C1 software to BreezeBrowser and PS CS2's RAW converter. I love the output of C1 but BreezeBrowser's ability to have it auto the exposure/levels is very nice. I am looking to get a large number of proofs to post on my site. If someone orders a print I would go back and use the settings to maximize the print.

    I ended up grouping them as you suggested - it worked but required about 10 runs to complete. Another potential feature for proofs - adding a watermark... any thoughts on that?

    douglenos,

    Oh boy, now I understand. Sounds as though you had one tough shooting environment.

    Applying a Watermark is a feature in the MAC PRO version. I know there are always requests to have both platforms with the same tools. For some of these it may well be a programming issue, I surely don't know.

    PRO activation is cross-platform if you decide to get a Mac...did I say that out loud...
    Otherwise an Action or a Custom Brush that applies your studio logo/watermark in Photoshop can do this.

    Please use the software's Technical Feedback feature and make this Feature Request.

    Cheers,

    k c
