CHAPTER 4 DEVELOP MODULE IMAGE EDITING340
Synchronizing Develop settings
Now that we have covered all the main Develop controls, let’s now look at
ways the Develop settings can be applied to multiple images. Whenever you
have a selection of images active, the Previous button changes to show Sync
(Figure 4 .124). Clicking this button allows you to synchronize the develop settings
across two or more photos, based on the settings in the target (most selected)
photo. In Figure 4.125, a number of photos had been selected in the Filmstrip and
if I were to click the Sync button, this would open the Synchronize Settings dialog
shown in Figure 4.126, where I can decide which settings are to be synchronized.
Or, you can use the #SS (Mac) or cSS (PC) keyboard shortcut
to open this dialog. If you click Check All, everything will be checked. If you
click Check None, you can then choose any subset of synchronization settings.
Whether you choose to save everything or just a subset of settings, this will have
important consequences for how the photos are synchronized. If you choose
Check All, everything in the selected image will be synchronized. In some cases
this might well be the easiest and most practical option. But you won’t necessarily
always want to synchronize everything across all the selected photos. Sometimes
you need to think carefully about which specific settings you should synchronize.
If not, you may end up overwriting settings that should have been left as they
were (although you can always recover a previous image version via the History
panel on an image-by-image basis). For example, if your imported photos have the
Camera Default settings applied for Sharpening, Noise Reduction, and Calibration,
you will want to be careful not to overwrite these settings. The sync behavior can
also be critically affected by the process version of the most selected and other
photos (see sidebar). Note that if you hold down the
a
key, the Sync button
loses the ellipsis, and clicking the button now bypasses the Synchronize Settings
dialog and applies a synchronization based on the last used Synchronize settings.
Also in this mode you’ll see a Set Default button. This allows you to set the current
Develop settings as the new default settings for files shot with this particular
camera plus this specific serial number and ISO setting. Note that what gets set
here all depends on how the preferences have been configured (see page 357).
Auto Sync mode
If you
#
-click (Mac) or
c
-click (PC) the Sync button, it switches to Auto Sync
mode and stays as such until you click the Auto Sync button to revert back to Sync
mode again. You will notice there is a switch next to the left of these buttons.
Clicking this has the same effect as switching you to Auto Sync mode, or you can
use the #SaA (Mac) or cSaA (PC) keyboard shortcut. In Auto
Sync mode you first make a selection of photos, and as you adjust the Develop set-
tings for the most selected image, you’ll see these adjustments propagated across
all the images in the selection. Auto Sync therefore behaves a bit like a Quick
Develop panel mode for the Develop module. Lastly, there is the Reset button,
which can be used to reset photos back to their Lightroom default settings.
Figure 4.124 When more than one
photo is selected via the Filmstrip,
clicking the Sync button (top) lets you
synchronize images in that selection
via the Synchronize Settings dialog.
When you hold down the
a
key,
the ellipsis disappears (middle), and
clicking this button bypasses the
Synchronize Settings dialog and uses
the last used Synchronize settings
to synchronize the selected photos.
Finally, you can hold down the
#
key
(Mac) or
c
key (PC) to switch to the
Auto Sync mode (bottom).
NOTE
Whenever you choose to synchronize
the develop settings, Lightroom
checks the process version status
of the most selected image when
deciding what to do. If the Process
Version box is checked, it applies the
process version of the most selected
photo to all the other photos (if the
selected photos already share the
same process version as the most
selected photo, no conversion
needs to take place). If the Process
Version box isn’t checked, things
can become more unpredictable.
In this situation the process version
will not be referenced when making
a synchronization. Therefore, if you
attempt to synchronize Process 2003
settings to Process 2012 images,
settings like Recovery or Fill Light
won’t be translated. Similarly, if you
try to synchronize a Process 2012
image to Process 2003/2010 photos,
adjustments such as Highlights and
Shadows won’t be recognized either.
