Question

Hello,

i would like to ask if there is some way how to increase or decrease the actual exposure of multiple photos by some "offset" value...

The Auto function is doing overall good job, but very ofted I would need to take existing exposure created by Auto function and add for example 0,2 points.

Actual exposure no. 

Brightness perhaps using a slider named Exposure. 

There's a difference at least in Lightroom Classic in how you might do this: Relative versus Absolute adjustments. Using Quick Develop the edits are relative to the existing conditions or edits. Say you have 5 bracketed images and use the Exposure button in QD. ALL five images will be adjusted relative to that one click rather than synchronizing all the photo’s with the same exposure value. Useful for batch processing the same relative correction to many images. 

Not sure to be honest if ACR deals with this relatively or absolutely. With presets, I suspect they are Absolute, NOT relative to the first edit.

    Thanks,

    this Quick Develop in LR is exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately it looks like ACR is not including similar function 😞
