Question

Cannot Copy & Paste settings on individual photos

  • September 6, 2018

After upgrading Lightroom 6 to Lightroom Classic CC so I could view images taken from my Canon 6D mkii, I find I cannot copy a setting from one photo to paste onto another photo... meaning I have to individually edit each and every photo.

This is very time consuming.

Please help

    I think ill just give up.

    This is rediculous to spend good money that worked fine... and only needed an update because i bought a new camera, which it could not read.  Now I cant edit the photos the same way I use to in the old program.

    This is an unprofessional way to treat clients. I am a busy person like all the others, and I cant do what was a simple editing process.

    Really, really unhappy an upset

    Sorry for the delay in my response. we have tested this issue at our end and its working fine. We are on Lightroom Classic CC 7.5, Windows 10.

    Are you getting any specific error message while pasting the develop settings on another image?

    Regards,

    Mohit

    Our Workflow: We have changed the temp & exposure on one image > Click on the settings menu > Copy settings > select the another image > Paste settings.

    Could you please share your exact workflow for pasting develop settings in Lightroom?

    Regards,

    I have followed the instruction set out in the link Mohit and I still cannot paste any settings copied, either via shortcut keys or via the menu bar.

    Try using the 'Sync' button in the lower right-hand Develop module panel. Select all of the images you want to copy & paste settings including the one with those setting as "most selected" (i.e. highlighted). In the pop-up select the settings you want to copy and click on the 'Synchronize' button. Does that work?

    Hi juliej,

    We're really sorry for all the hassle. Could you please let us know the exact version of Lightroom Classic CC you are using now? Go to Lightroom > help menu > About Adobe Lightroom Classic CC

    Also, you may try resetting the Lightroom preferences back to defaults and check if that helps.

    Refer the link: How to set Lightroom Classic CC preferences

    Let us know the results.

    Regards,

    Mohit
