Hello everyone.

I have been having this issue were photo selections don't work. Meaning i select multiple photos for example for deleting them and when i go to delete them only the first one of the selection is erased. The same happens when trying to copy settings. I select a bunch of pictures hit copy and it only copy the settings to the first one.

 

Is there any solution to this? My lightroom is updated and i don't know what to do.

Lightroom (Lr icon) or Lightroom Classic (LrC icon)?

 

If LrC you have to select the multiple photos in the Grid. If you select the multiple photos in the filmstrip at the bottom, I think that LrC is doing the right thing by only deleting the first selected photo.

Is Lightroom Classic, great! In the grid works, but does that mean everytime i want to bulk edit or bulk copy something i have to go to the library panel in grid mode? How do i bulk copy settings in the editing panel?

Bulk copy settings is done in the Grid.

 

In the Library module you can turn on Auto-Sync, so that editing on one photo (example: increase Temperature by X units) causes the same changes to be made to all selected images.
