P: Presets for copy/paste/sync settings

Feature Request for Lightroom - 'Sync Settings Presets' - so that we can save custom preset combinations of settings to sync instead of just 'select all' and 'select none'.Especially useful when you want to paste certain combinations of settings. For example, paste all settings except for brush, gradient, radial, upright transformations and crop adjustments etc.

    Good luck. We've been asking for this for years. Seems such a simple thing to implement doesn't it!

      When I copy the Develop Settings of a photo, I'm presented with only two options: CHECK ALL and CHECK NONE. 

       

      I'm suggesting that we get the ability to have one (or multiple) Copy Settings Presets that we can use to select the settings we tend to copy and paste the most (currently I have to always deselect "crop", "transform", "healing", and "masking" - settings I rarely paste to another photo). 

       

      Interest? Possible?

        It's a fairly popular idea. The Copy Settings plugin lets you define such presets.

          I requested the similar feature ca two years ago as well. This would be such an enormous help!

          I would love to have a Presets panel for the Synchronize Settings Dialog. I find myself synchronizing with this settings pretty often:

           

           

          but when i choose to sync just one adjusment, like this: 

           

           

          then having to go back to the previews settings takes more clicks and more thinking than neccesary imo. 

           

          What do you think?

          Many people have requested this over the years.  You might consider the Copy Settings plugin, which provides this feature and fixes a number of bugs with copying settings.

            Hi there! I use lightroom every day and I wonder how great it would be if there was an option to make simple presets in the synchronization dialog box. For example, preset 1 is all basic settings selected except exposure and WB. After using this software for a long time I see that I often use the same 1-3 types of synchronization. It would be great to make your own presets 1-5 or more on the load preset button. I know it would save me a lot of time. What do you think? Is there a plugin like this?

              Down at the bottom, Save Preset.

              1000 thanx to John and Rikk for linking to this great tool, which I was awaiting for about 15 years and which Adobe still refuses to add to LR Classic! For what reason ever. Now my workflow is perfect, it works simple, offers a lot of different presets and also works with my MONOGRAM CREATOR set, after defining a key shortcut! The few bucks to buy is worth every penny!!! :o))

               

              Cheers,

              Thomas

              Observation: Most of my photographic jobs need 2:3 (original) ratio. Some portrait jobs need 1:1, some landscapes need 16:9 all the way through the set. The camera fixes everything in 2:3 (RAW) only. The crop tool has the option to select a different ratio and even allows to fix a „preset“ of individual ratio, indeed. But the only way to copy/paste a specially selected ratio to ALL (selected) images in folder, except "original ratio", is to use the „synchronize" button. This dialogue window features 39 single options, actually, to copy/paste whatever you select. One of these is the crop option.
               
              BUT the synchronize dialogue window is the only one left (featured in LR since 16 years of its existence!) that does not offer any different user sets, though f.i. brush correction tool allows several individual sets for partial exposure, contrast or colour correction, etc.! Just "synchronize" has the one and only standard set, plus "de-/select all options". Nothing else to offer. That is a bit disappointing, isn’t it?
               
              To synchronize the ratio, I have to deselect all my 29 standard options preset, first (which is my preset for imports, too!!!),  just to select the crop in this one case, only. After synchronizing the crop, all other 29 options have to get re-selected again. If you previously forgot to do a screenshot of original preset for help, you get lost in this case and that smells a bit like former user interfaces in times of digital stoneage! ;o)
               
              Why not integrate individual user presets to synchronize dialogue, finally?

                There is a much better way to do this. Select all photos, go to the develop module and toggle the small switch of the 'Synchronize' button. The button will change to 'Auto Sync' and become highlighted as a warning. Now all you do will automatically sync, so change that crop (you can use the presets) and then toggle the switch again so anything you do after you cropped will not sync anymore.

                A number of people have requested this feature. While waiting for Adobe to implement it (if ever), consider the Copy Settings plugin.

                Hey,

                 

                I'm forever clicking and unclicking options on sync settings across images. 

                 

                Would be fantastic to have pre-saved user settings that I can click everytime I just want a few of the available options.

                 

                So a few quick buttons next to Check non / Cancel which automatically select what I want. 

                 

                Excuse the terrible photoshopping...

                 

                Thanks,


                Richard
