P: Relative Develop Presets

Lightroom--I would love to see relative presets as opposed to only absolute presets. For example, I may want to add +10 of yellow in Temperature to what ever setting exists and not a static number.

This would be great for white balancing where pleasing color is preferable over accurate color. I may want to white balance a set of pictures and add +10 of yellow to warm things up.

I find a lot of presets aren’t useful in my workflow, but a relative color temp/tint would be.

Thanks,

Reid

    I would love to see this added. Dont understand why it was not yet. Especially with the AI masks and adjust amounts in presets such a feature is a banger. Even just exposure to be able to just added +.0.25... to what ever the current value is would make editing so much quicker.

      Of course. That is why I specifically mentioned the "develop" module in my post.

      I often want to adjust multiple photos by the same amout (e.g. +0,5 exposure) in develop module.

      It would be great if selecting multiple photos with autosync enabled and then Ctrl+dragging sliders would apply the same adjustment to all selected photos. But not "same" in terms of absolute value as it is now when dragging but same in terms of relative amount of how was the active photo adjusted.

      The Quick Develop panel does relative adjustments of many sliders.  Have you experimented there?

      Merging you into the previous feature request.

        No worries. I was just confirming I wasn't experiencing a moment here too!

        Relative Presets have never been released. 
        To date, the only place to perform a relative adjustment to a range of images is the Quick Develop Panel. 

        What are you thinking here @johnrellis ? Am I missing something?

        @Rikk Flohr: Photography, this should be marked as Released, no?

        Nine years and counting, hence why I keep saying presets are snake oil... and Matt Kloskowski still keeps pushing his collection for sale.

        for now, you can get around this by adding an offscreen gradient layer and adding your changes there. Then sync local across your images. It's really unintuitive, but until Adobe decides to finally implement this as a feature, it's all we have.

        Many images in a set may all have different adjustments for contrast, exposure, temperature, etc.

        I would like to then be able to say e.g. "Add +0.1 exposure" to one or more selected images. So it will take whatever the current value is for each image, and add the relative adjustment.

        This is useful if, for instance, initial edits have normalised the photos (e.g. made them all look consistently exposed), but then I realise actually I want them all to be a bit more exposed. Or, for instance, we can start by normalising white balance to neutral, and then decide that we want to colour the whole set of images slightly more warmly.
