Here is my issue I am facing and hope somebody can help me or explain it to me. I took some room photos. The rooms have only 3 walls so the inside is darker then the outisde. So I expose my camera for he outside and then take several images with the same settings one base iamgage with out a flash and the rest using flash to brigthen the inside walls, furniture etc. In Lightroom I pick the once  I want and  adjust the expoure etc for the first image. (no flash image) I then copy the same settings to other images with the flash trying to keep the exposure for the outside but all the outside exposures getting brighter especillay in images where I have more flash or brighter flash in forground. should the outside exposure  not stay the same as no flash hit the tree or the sky . but it is sometimes 1 -2 brigther (depnding how bright the flash is in the image) then the no flash image even so all settings in the camera and in lightroom on each picture are the same .  Like in the no exposure image I can see the clouds and the blue in the sky and then when i copy the same settign to the flash image the sky is completly blown out . Hope some body can explain

Just to check…what is the exposure mode in the camera? Is it Auto, Program, Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual? Also, is Auto ISO enabled?

thanks for the reply. Camera is set fully to Manual. ISO and WB are set so are shutter apreture all iamges have the same settings . in the orignal mode the outside expsorue looks the same on all. But as soon i copy the lightroom settings which are the same as on all photos the outside exposure changes , if the flash fired brigther the outside also becomes brighter when the flash only covers are samller area the outisde does not change as much but it changes

Another possible cause: Many of the Basic panel adjustments are image-adaptive, so they may produce different results depending on the image tonal content. For example, three images may be of the exact same scene but if they have different tonal content due to different lighting, the results of applying the same Basic panel options may not be exactly the same across all of the images.

 

To apply edits that have the same effect regardless of tonal content, make edits using the Tone Curve, which is strictly linear, similar to how Curves and Levels work in Photoshop.

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
