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

    I've had the same problem and this has been an absolute deterrant to even using the software.  

    It's also obvious to me not one of your reps that replied in this thread have ever used the product because it takes no trouble at all to actually try it.   It seems like you're going down some flow chart sitting in a CSR cubicle or work from home. 

    Sadly I'd have expected the amount of money spent on this to go toward support staff that can say "Let me try it on my copy."

    None of you have tried to isolate the CAUSE, you're just making suggestions like everyone's doing it wrong, which tell me who's doing it wrong, and that's you. 

    So.   Ask your bosses "What would cause this to not copy and paste settings" and maybe tart questions with the following:

    "What kind of coputer are you using"  - Mac
    "What os are you using" - Big Sur
    "What proessor do you have "  -intel i5. 

    The lack of qualifing questions says none of you have used the program. 


    You’ve posted to an ancient thread. It is highly unlikely that the issue described in this thread, though not impossible, is the same one you are currently experiencing. Rather than resurrect an old thread that is seemingly similar, you are better off posting to a new thread with fresh, complete information, including system information, a complete description of the problem, and step-by-step instructions for reproduction. 

     

    If the issue is the same, we will merge you back into the appropriate location. 

     

    Thank you!

    Please Mohit,

    I really need to sort through this issue.  I have over 200 photos I need to edit by tomorrow for a presentation and I can't edit every single photo.... are you still there??

    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
