P: Relative Develop Presets

The problem with using plugins for relative presets is that Lightroom's sliders only go so far, which means that if you correct your image first then apply a relative preset you sometimes max out on one or more sliders, which leads to unpredictable & inconsistent results - this particularly happens with exposure and colour balance.

What's needed is for Lightroom to provide a way to normalise the manually applied settings to reset the sliders back to default while baking in the applied effects, so that relative presets can then be applied consistently and can using the full range of all the sliders.

Alternatively, Lightroom could support sliders going beyond their current min & max values.

Either way, Lightroom itself needs to change.

Rob, yes I had realised about using multi photo adjustments in quick develop. I just want to click one button- not 5!
Thanks to this thread Ive just started using Gazoo plugin for relative presets. Seems to do the trick, just 2 clicks 😉

You realize the quick-develop section supports relative adjustment of most settings (mutli-photo in grid view), right?

For the rest of the settings, and/or finer control, and/or relative presets - get a plugin.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not saying Adobe shouldn't implement natively. - but I've been using relative presets for years now, and you could be too.

Want want want! Why is this still 'Under consideration' when it was suggested 4 years ago? From doing quick web searches it seems this something many people would love. I understand that a lot of requests are not considered as the feature is something that is more suited to Photoshop - but not in this case. Surely this is perfect for lightroom.

How would I use it? - I often create colour and black & white versions of a collection of photos. I process in colour first and then make black and white virtual copies. To make these b&w copies I have to do all my adjustments individually in Library, and they are nearly the same every time (2/3 exp, + contrast, +shadows, -blacks etc etc)

Pleeeease add this to the next release!!!!

Light 5 beta
Would it be possible to add a feature in the develop module so that a differential adjustment.such as a change to the colour balance can be saved so as to enable one to apply it to an entire set of photos? I am aware of Julieanne Kost's work- round using the library module settings but these are too crude and inconvenient.

It is very disappointing. it's not a huge feature and would speed up workflow enormously for some of us users.

LR5 beta still doesn't provide a way to do this. Disappointing.

Gazoo is another plugin which supports relative develop adjustments & presets.
