set the same exposure in Camera Raw

[еленав94636101]

Hello. I have a problem to set the same exposure in Camera Raw for multiple photos (15-30). I don't know how set all photos the same exposure if I took a photo in automatic mode and now I would like to make one panorama.

I've moved this from the poorly named Community Help forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum so that proper help can be offered.

I'm not sure this can be done in Camera Raw, but if you can import the photos into Lightroom Classic, you can use the "Match Total Exposure" feature in Lightroom Classic. This feature is NOT in the cloud version of Lightroom.

The command is found under "Settings > Match Total Exposure."

Let u sknow if this is helpful.

Thank you so much! I didn't find that more than two ears. i found in PS, not in LR. now i know perfect option for my usual task! Thanks again!

one more question about this. when all photos have the same exposure, can I change the exposure level/ contrast/ color on all photos so that it keep it at the same level?

Also in Lightroom Classic, in the Library Module (not the Develop Module), select all your images on the grid, and open the "Quick Develop" panel on the right side. Adjusting exposure with this panel shifts exposure relative to the current value. You can shift by 1/3 stop with the single arrow, or a full stop with the double arrows. This should accomplish what you're trying to do.

You can apply settings to several selected pictures into ACR when opening…

Here I changed exposure to this two gentlemen pics at the same time

Also you can copy modified parameters from one image and paste to another; right click on a thumnail for that

ACR is no less than Lightroom Classic developpement module…

Hi Didier,

In this case, the original poster was working with a group of images that may all have random exposure settings, and he is wanting to move them together a fixed amount. So, Photo #1 may have an exposure of -1, and needs to increase by 0.75 to a value of -.25. However, photo number 2 may have an exposure of 0.0, and needs to increase the same amount, to +0.75. Photo #3 may have an exposure of +0.5, and needs to increase to +1.25.

I don't know of a way to syncronize "relative" exposure values in ACR, but Lightroom's Quick Develop feature handles this very easily.

Yes you are right. My bad. I thought pics had the same exposure range…

The only way to corrrect all pics in one op in this case would be with Auto function…

So Lightroom is the best solution at the time.

Thanks, Didier; I had to read closely too, but I have had to do this process on occasion, so I was pretty sure it wasn't possible in ACR. I don't know how to change the correct answers, but at least the OP has a solution.

I also marked your answer as correct to better help searchers

Hi!

I normally use only ACR to edit but see that barely anyone else does and there's very little support for it too. I had the same issue as the original poster and am now downloading lightroom classic. What are the other features that lightroom has that ACR doesn't? I think I may need to shift my editing process....

[melajuana]

Um, I don't see settings but only metadata....
