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

All that I would need would be a little tickbox next to the autosync button to choose relative or absolute.

There is a need for both types of adjustments - relative and absolute. Take white balance adjustments for example. I.E. I'll adjust a group of wedding photos to have the same "look" Depending on lighting and camera settings there are times when dialing in a white balance of 5000k on one photo will look the same as a white balance of 4500k on a different photo. Obviously sometimes it's nice to quickly dial in a white balance of the same nominal value, say 5500k for a group of photos. Other times, I just want to warm up a group of photos. Some of these photos might be at 3500K, 5500K and 6500K but I want them all to look "warmer" being able to bump each one up by 500K would save TONS of time.

Also, having the ability to take a group of photos that I've previously edited with exposure adjustments (some are +.5, -.3, +1.0 etc)... to take that group of photos and relatively brighten them up from where they currently are... brighten all photos by 1/2 stop, would be a huge time saver.

I tried it - it didn't work - don't remember details... (it was a long while ago). May try again, may not: I've already programmed my own solutions for most of what it does, so not much motivation...

Yes it looks like you can combine adjustments. Why not just try it? Only takes a couple of minutes to install 🙂

Hello everyone, especially Adobe

I have 200 or 300 images from a shoot. I adjust the settings so each photo is similar tone, colour, contrast, etc. The next morning, I come back, and I decide I want each photo to be a bit lighter or darker or darker shadows. As all the photos have different settings, I cannot sync settings from one photo to the next. It would be great if we could tell LR to adjust specific settings by x amount. For example, change the tone by -.15 and the shadows by +20.

This is a long overdue idea. You should be able to apply a change across a range of photos as additive or proportional (percentage). Film and video color correctors have had global trim capability for over 30 years, it's a no brainer.

Thanks John. I'll be curious if you ever try relative adjustment presets - e.g. can you combine adjustments, or just onezies...
