Question

Lightroom is not copying settings to rest of photos

I've started to use lightroom again to speed up my workflow but I am already regretting it. I used a preset on one of my images and when trying to copy the settings to the rest of the catalog I found out that plenty of the images haven't changed their original settings. I have to go one by one applying the preset. I even tried selecting all the settings to see if, maybe , i had been missing one, and it wasn't that either.

 

 

any help?

Yes I'm frustrated by this problem too! It doesn't paste the "preset" together. 
I ticked on "check all" when copy setting, and "paste setting" but it doesn't paste the preset that I applied. It only pasted the color adjustments. I have to select the preset one by one in every photo.

Apply the preset to one image (that has no prior edits). Then do Cmd+C to copy the edit settings from that one image. Then select all the other images that you want those settings applied to (this will work in grid view) and do Shift+Cmd+V to paste those settings to all the selected images.
