Cannot paste develop settings to multiple images in Lightroom 3

• I have a Setup dual monitor.  When I paste develop settings from one image to the other, Lightroom going on the active window.

  Strange problem.  5.5 Lightroom.  Windows 8.1. Setting up dual monitor.

  I am processing a lot important photos.  I have #1 monitor set as my main to develop the window with #2 monitor configured only to display a larger version of the image, I work with. If I copy the parameters of development out of a picture and try to paste them on another image, Lightroom will increase from the #1 to the monitor #2 monitor in the main window to develop and does not display anything on the monitor #1.

  If I then try to paste develop settings on another image on the monitor #2, LR then displays a larger version of the image, I have been working with the #1 monitor.

  To work like I want to, I have to constantly drag my develop the window back to the #1 monitor whenever I try to paste the settings on a new image of development. How can I make this stop?

  I have similar (but different) problems dual monitor. Just posted this on my thread unanswered. It may be useful:

  Blessed excrement! After frustrating months of bi-ecrans LR questions and a month of waiting for an answer on this forum, I called Adobe technical support. Only five minutes before dialing, I had updated my PhotoShop CC application. When the useful Adobe tech classmate is online, I can't reproduce all the issues that had been plaguing me. It is a stretch... a biiiiig stretch... but he is feels/figure/seems that PhotoShop CC update has fixed my bi-ecrans LR problems! I'll keep track of what other programs I use and open while LR - ing to see if they are relaxing, but for now, everything is quite in front of two monitors.

• Paste the settings to multiple pictures in Flimstrip

  HI - this is probably a basic question, but I may have missed the 'how.'

  When I'm done setting (in the develop Module) and I click on 'copy', and select the items I want to copy, and then I want to do, is apply (paste) these settings in a number of images.

  What I do is do I highlight ("Ctrl + click") several images on the film.  Once these images are the highlight (images of the film highlighted), I then click "Paste" - but the only picture that is changed (applied settings) is the first image of the film.

  How can I select the images on the film I want to address (apply the copied settings) and have the settings applied to all the selected images?

  I'm sure it's obvious and there must be a way to apply this 'recipe' for all images selected without having to create a collection or one-at-a-time.

  It is proably the same problem, but when I want to turn several images (in the library module), if I select in the flimstrip, only the first frame turns when I click on the arrow direction or counter-clock-wise.  Same question?  Is this possible in the film strip?

  Thank you

  Thank you - you would think by selecting multiple images on the film, you could then paste the settings to those selected.  Guess I had better read on Sync.

  Yes, it took me a while to understand that would not work.

  And what does Auto Sync?   A lot to learn.

  I'm fairly knew LR, too, but I think that this will automatically apply changes to multiple images in real time. So if, for example, you trigger the black slider in 5, he was relieved of 5 in all the pictures you have sync would be.

  So, it is not really a grid in the develop Module - you must spend to develop the library, right?

  Right

  I got a lot of use out of 3 Kelby Lightroom for digital photographers book. There are a lot of hidden things in LR you'll ever figure out on your own.

• Copy develop settings from one photo to another: problems! Photo: getDevelopSettings LrDevelopController.setValue

  I've also attached the full code at the bottom of this message in case this is useful, but the summary

  I have a plugin of lua (rsjaffe MIDI2LR) who receives an application via a LrSocket MIDI messages. Everything works, but I tried to add copy/paste develop settings without success.

  In the following code, copy settings is:

  function copySettings()

  local photo = LrApplication.activeCatalog (:getTargetPhoto())

  parameters = photo: getDevelopSettings()

  end

  and paste the settings:

  function pasteSettings()

  applySettings (settings)

  end

  
  

  function applySettings (set) - still experimental

  If LrApplicationView.getCurrentModuleName () ~ = 'develop' then

  LrApplicationView.switchToModule ('develop')

  end

  for x, v to peers (set)

  -SERVER: send (string.format ("%s % d\n", x, develop_lerp_to_midi (v) "))

  -PARAM_OBSERVER [x] = v

  LrDevelopController.setValue (x, v)

  end

  end

  
  

  Functions called, but nothing happens to the picture of the target. I was also unable to attach a debugger (tried ZeroBrane studio as described in debugging Adobe Lightroom plugins with ZeroBrane Studio - ZeroBrane , but can not get Lightroom to load mobdebug.lrmodule.)

  
  

  Can someone point out where I'm wrong?

  Thank you.

• Cannot paste settings to multiple Photos of development

  I am under Lightroom V3.2 and I have about 100 photos that I took at a concert.  I changed the exposure, brightness, etc and the noise reduction and copied the development parameters.  If I paste the settings on any photo into one, the dough works very well.  However, I would like to paste these settings to all 100 photos at a time.  In the film strip, I select several photos, and little matter how to paste it (usually with the big block at the bottom left of the screen to develop key), the settings are applied to only the selected photo to the right in the film.  I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't get the settings to be applied to multiple photos at the same time.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you!

  John

  Hat most likely your problem is due to being in the Loupe. Switch to view grid so using the button paste, otherwise use development settings > paste settings in the film context menu.

• small bug in copy it / paste develop picture with automatic lens correction

  It's automatic vertical turns, which are not sync would be. Please see the instructions below to synchronize "right Mode" through multiple images "based on their individual picture content.".

• Refresh the list of Presets in development settings?

  Is it possible to force a refresh of the presets list in the settings menu to develop?  I want to work around this problem:

  (1) right click on an image and select develop settings - a list of the presets in the CameraRaw/Settings folder appears in the submenu.

  (2) with the bridge remaining in the open air in the foreground, change the content of the presets in the CameraRaw/Settings folder (I do this with a jsx script in my case).

  (3) right click on an image and go again the parameters of development - the list is the same as the list in step 1.

  (4) give any other focus of the application, and then come back straight into the bridge.

  (5) right click on an image, select parameters of development again - this time the preset list reflects what is in the CameraRaw/Settings folder.

  It is therefore possible to force the bridge to refresh this list somehow in my jsx script?

  Sorry no, you cannot change a menu once it is created.

  You can access one of the elements in the development settings with...

  //Develop Settings > Camera Raw Defaults
  app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRDefault");
  //Develop Settings > Previous Conversion
  app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRPrevious");
  //Develop Settings > Copy Settings
  app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRCopy");
  //Develop Settings > Paste Settings
  app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRPaste");
  //Develop Settings > Clear Settings
  app.document.chooseMenuItem("CRClear");
  

  You cannot bring the focus to another application, but you can send commands to another application on Adobe using BridgeTalk

  You can deselect all the thumnails and select the ones you want to work, a few orders below might be useful...

  //change Bridge to folder
  app.document.thumbnail = Folder(Folder.desktop + "/myfolder");
  //de-select all thumbnails
  app.document.deselectAll();
  //select thumbnail
  var thumb = new Thumbnail(thumb);
  app.document.select(thumb);
  

• Lightroom develop settings disappeared after a computer virus removal

  Hi all

  I have a problem with my development settings to find Lr I had problem with virus a couple days where all my files have been encrypted. A so-called virus ransomeware RSA 4096 caused it. They have (support antivirus Norton) has removed the virus for me but they told me that it was nothing I could do with my files photo on my hard drive of the computer. The result was that I had to delete all the files that I had stored. Luckely, I made a back-up, 2 days before (on my external hard drive), my computer has been infected. The problem is, when I try to use my backup catalog I can't access my development settings in images. Everything is zero. RAW file is in place and I can start to change the image of course again, but it's a lot of work. The other strange thing is that all of my files exported JPG also appears in the catalog and I don't really know why... Maybe I'm an amateur, but I would like help, because it frustrates me :-(

  Best wishes

  Ken

  Could you try to open the other catalogs (recent) backup of your external drive.

  It is possible that the virus has infected the backup too.

  Find your external drive for catalogs. Search for "*.lrcat " and see if it returns multiple catalogs.

  You can also see recover the catalog and images after resetting preferences in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

  I use the latest Version of Lr, 5.6

• Saving the lightroom develop settings

  I have a question about registration of the development parameters in L ightroom CC 2015 once you remove a photo from the catalogue. My workflow is done in camera raw. Although I the have not used in the past I always thought that a . Xfile MP would save all adjustments of development keywords, flags etc. Now that I've tried it, I see that's not true.  I havet seems to save develop settings, but if you delete the photo, then re-import - it opens with the correct settings, but you cannot modify any of the final adjustments.  It also does not extract together with flags or color adjustments.

  Is there a way to do ? Normally, I like to keep my small catalog by removing pictures I do not wish to use it on a regular basis, but I can want to bring their return make some additional adjustments and then save them again once I was hoping that this economy and XMP file would allow me to do, but it doesn't appear to save the metadata not the setting of development parameters. Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  I think you'll find (or you've already found) that Lightroom was not designed to be used in this way. Since you say that "any help would be appreciated", my Council, similar to the above, is to use Lightroom as it was expected, and you won't have these problems. The Act of deleting the photos is what you lose information and simply creates extra work for you. Don't not deleting photos is less work and ensures that you do not lose this information. The idea of keeping the small catalogues manages also against the idea behind the design of Lightroom... you want Lightroom to be the tool by which you can find all of your photos and you browse all your photos. There is no advantage to smaller catalogues and no disadvantage for large catalogs, when used correctly.

• scan multiple images again and I don't want that he

  Hello

  I have a HP Photosmart 7525.   I use the Mac OS X 10.6.8 version.  I'm analyzing my grandmother's recipes.  On some of the TI keep break them into multiple images.  How can I disable this feature.  I'm just a complete picture of each recipe when I scan one at a time.

• Trigger camera to acquire multiple images

  I have a camera for Imaging Source and it captures only one image for each external trigger pulse. But I want it captures 3 images. Y at - it any idea how do?

  The Datasheet for the camera DMK 23UV024

  Steps performed so far:

  1. Generate the trigger of a datagenerator pulse and trigger the camera
  2. Developed a LabVIEW program that can capture images on the trigger
  3. I have two different images to grab for a single trigger, since the camera captures a single image for each trigger, it will create confusion as to what trigger image belongs to who. How can I solve this problem.
  4. The idea is to capture 2 images that based on 1 trigger pulse without any interference between the two images

  With a few exceptions, cameras provide an image by trigger.  There are some devices that allow you to set a registry value to capture multiple images, but you would need to have one of these cameras in the first place.

• When sending multiple images to photoshop camera raw, no images are displayed in photoshop.

  I send multiple images in camera raw to the bridge as part of my work. I make my changes and then select them all and click on the button "open the Images. When I did earlier using Photoshop CS6, all these images open in Photoshop CS6 and be aligned at the top of the window. Now that I have Photoshop CC, when I click on the button 'open image', I'm being transferred to the CC of Photoshop, but some images are open upward. Only a few hours after I downloaded Photoshop CC, Images have been sent there by Camera Raw, but they were sent one by one. I had to finish the job on a single photo, save it, then another of the images I sent Camera RAW would show up. Now, back to Photoshop after a break of 3 hours, I can not camera raw to send images Photoshop CC. I had to go back to my Photoshop CS6 in order to continue work on my assignment. I knew that there will be some changes in CC, but do not think they would be this boring.

  Also, in order to get several images displayed in Filmstrip mode in Camera Raw, apparently I have to send via Bridge. I can't drag and drop a folder into Photoshop CC. Is there a way around this?

  Hi terryleemartin,

  If please check, is your Photoshop and Bridge are updated to the latest version.

  In addition, reset the Photoshop preferences default back so if there is no change in the settings of this problem.

• How to make the color of the sky, exactly the same thing in multiple images?

  How to make the color of the sky, exactly the same thing in multiple images?

  Bengt Nyman wrote:

  I'm not trying to replace the sky. I want to talk to a group of photos BIF where the percentages of red, green and blue in the sky varies from a few percent, but enough to disrupt continuity within the group. I like t would be able to use the percentages of color to one of the pictures and replicated in others.

  Because the brightness of the sky probably varies from image to image using percentages RGB will not work. What you can use are the values of a and b the laboratory values . Right-click in the inside of the develop module histogram and tick 'Show Lab Color values.' You can ignore the value of L, which is the value of Luminance or brightness. Adjust the blue sky s a b valueusing the Temp WB and sliders dyed until they are the same as your first reference image file. The value determines the color red/green balance if you use the Tint slider to correct the value. The b value determines the color yellow/blue balance if you use the slider Temp to correct its value.

  Remember that setting the base Panel WB with 'fixed' values of b for photos taken under lighting conditions different sky will be the color of the other objects in the image look incorrect (birds, trees, buildings, etc.). In this case, you will need to use the brush setting to paint in the region of the sky and then use its temperature sliders and tinted to change just the color of the sky.

  To be honest I don't know why you feel it's necessary. Maybe you can post two screenshots: 1) with the sky that they way you want to and 2) an image that you want to resolve to match.

  

• Where did the installation to print multiple images per page?

  The Panel on the right in the 'Print' module has changed. Previously, the Committee was up and down, 'Image Settings', "Rules, grids, and Guides," 'Cells', 'Page', and "Print Job" with the 'cells' dropdown that gives me the choice of "add to package" where I could easily add and adjust the size of the cells. Now, (I have not downloaded anything) panels has from top to bottom, 'Settings of the Image', 'Layout', 'Guides', 'Page' and "Print Job" and I don't see a way to print several images (either the same of different images) on the same page.

  This should really be in the Lightroom forum!

  However, on the left side of the scree we do not, what are the parameters? They must be defined for a multiple-image document and not as I suspect one presented here.
