Apply adjustment to more the one image (realtime)
Hi there,
i would like to know if this is possible:
Can I select two or more images and edit an adjustment (lets say saturation) on all images at once. Meaning that i move the slider an can see the effect on more then one image/variant. I did try to hold shift etc.
I know that there is a way to copy the settings from the primary variant to the selected once by using the arrow icon.
Regards Manuel

In general, no.
If writing a single value to a file (Rating, Colour, Keyword and similar) the update is usually direct to all selected images providing the All/single image toggle is set to All.
However anything that re-calculates tends to work for a single image which you can then copy and paste easily as you already know.
The simple reason is that there is, potentially, a lot of calculation work to do for, potentially, a lot of images and it just makes sense in terms of responsiveness to work on one image and then "batch" the updates to the others. Things could get very unresponsive otherwise.
HTH.

Hi Grant,
thanks for your reply. I will stay with the use of the adjustments clipboard. 😊
Might I ask another question then? How would you accomplish the following task:
- I have edited a hole bunch of images on my laptop while I was on the go.
- Once I got home I double checked the images on a real PC Monitor and now I feel like all the images are a little bit to dark (I probably had my laptop lcd set too bright).
- To correct for that I like to relatively (without ignoring my previous edits) increase the exposure on all images by lets say a 0,3 stop. Example: Image 1 exposure 0,2 -> 0,5 and Image 2 exposure -0,2 -> 0,1).
If I use the adjustments clipboard it will ignore my previous settings. Do you know if this task is possible?0 -
You can adjust for one tool at a time or, using whatever has been copied to the clipboard, choose which settings you wish to apply.
However I'm not aware of a relative adjustment edit that would take a group of very different exposures and uplift all of them by a set amount.
In general I don't have that need. I do batches but usually small ones with sets of images that are very similar so a new fixed value usually works.
I'm not convinced, from my own experience, that a batch update for an offset value to a wide range of images is always the best way to get optimal results - although I do understand the attraction of it.
One way would be to create a layer but I don't think there is a simple way to propagate that in a batch across a set of images.
Maybe others could comment?

your right. If these would be "serious" images I would not "batch-change" them. But in this case its just a bunch of vacation-shots. I will definitely review my most important / best images individually... but for the other images a batch-change would be enough.
I just tried to use the curve tool. If I have two exposure tools then they are linked... but curve tools I can have several different ones. Unfortunately if I use the adjustment clipboard then all curve tools are updated and not only the one that I did changes to. :/
maybe someone else has any ideas?0 -
You can do it with the Local Adjustments tool and apply a layer that adds, say, .3 Exposure and the layer will adjust by .3 on whatever is the current value.
Easy to turn off as well or further amend should the need arise.
It may not be so easy if you already have other Layers in play .... not sure, no time to experiment right now.

this works for me as I have not used any local adjustments on the images yet 😄
I also tested what happens if I would have already made any local adjustments -> they would get overwritten.0
