Some feedback on the Lightroom day course.
In short: superb
- very good preparation
- good training material
- very good knowledge of Lightroom
Since the course I'm using this package and I'm very pleased about it.
The more I use it, the more I appreciate its functionality.
One question though:
Following scenario:
I have 30 images and I want for all to do the same manipulation like setting the white balance to daylight, recovery 75, curves to increase contrast.
What is the exact procedure to do this in 1 go?
Cheers,
Henk
Hi Henk,
The process to manipulate multiple images with the same settings is:
1. Go to the Develop Menu and select the main image you want to change.
2. Make the changes you want, as you suggest, WB first followed by any other changes you need.
3. Now select the other images you want to apply the same setting.
4. Head over to the Sync button bottom right in the LR window and click. A dialog box will pop up. You now have the option of selecting all or a selected number of changes to take effect on all images. If you have cropped the main image, I suggest you deselect that option in the dialog box.
Job Done.
All images will now reflect the changes you made to the first image.
Hi Bret,
Tried your procedure and it works as you described.
Thanks very much. This will save my so much time!

Lightroom in a network:
I have 2 machines in 1 network.
Both running Lightroom
Both machines can share files and edit these files.
However, going into Lightroom (library), File, Open Catalog.
I can select the folder on the remote machine and select the catalog file.
But when I select I get the following error:
Lightroom cannot launch with this catalog. It is either on a network or on a volume on which Lightroom cannot save changes
Note that I did check write permissions on the remote folder...
I guess this answers the question: Lightroom can only OPEN local catalogs.
BUT there is more.
You can indeed import remote catalogs. You can goto File, Import Catalog and choose a catalog on a remote machine. Once selected and confirmed, Lightroom successfully imports the whole catalog.
Henk
Great stuff! Thanks for the feedback.
Bret, One more thing about remote catalogs.
After importing a remote catalog, the folder in Folders on the left is red. It seems the red color works for local files only since the remote files are there.
Makes sense?
Hi Bret,
Just one more play with remote files.
Both machines are on. Imported remote folder is red. I select an image and notice I cannot edit any setting in Develop as it says that the file is off line or missing.
In practice this means you still have to copy all files to 1 central machine instead of a virtual catalog, spread over multiple machine.
This scenario would be valid in an office where multiple photographers work with Lightroom and all images would be stored on a file server (better maintenance, backup, etc).
Maybe one day this component becomes more advance.
Thanks Henk. I also have two machines on a network. I have had this problem and thanks to you, I now have a workaround. Thanks for the post!
I understand. LR is only at version 1.3 so expect big changes soon.
