P: Relative Develop Presets

[reid_thaler]

Lightroom--I would love to see relative presets as opposed to only absolute presets. For example, I may want to add +10 of yellow in Temperature to what ever setting exists and not a static number.

This would be great for white balancing where pleasing color is preferable over accurate color. I may want to white balance a set of pictures and add +10 of yellow to warm things up.

I find a lot of presets aren’t useful in my workflow, but a relative color temp/tint would be.

Thanks,

Reid

Nine years and counting, hence why I keep saying presets are snake oil... and Matt Kloskowski still keeps pushing his collection for sale.

@Rikk Flohr: Photography, this should be marked as Released, no?

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

Relative Presets have never been released. 
To date, the only place to perform a relative adjustment to a range of images is the Quick Develop Panel. 

What are you thinking here @John R Ellis ? Am I missing something?

Sorry, senior moment :-<

No worries. I was just confirming I wasn't experiencing a moment here too!

I often want to adjust multiple photos by the same amout (e.g. +0,5 exposure) in develop module.

It would be great if selecting multiple photos with autosync enabled and then Ctrl+dragging sliders would apply the same adjustment to all selected photos. But not "same" in terms of absolute value as it is now when dragging but same in terms of relative amount of how was the active photo adjusted.

The Quick Develop panel does relative adjustments of many sliders.  Have you experimented there?

Merging you into the previous feature request. 

[lukasradek]

Of course. That is why I specifically mentioned the "develop" module in my post.

I would love to see this added. Dont understand why it was not yet. Especially with the AI masks and adjust amounts in presets such a feature is a banger. Even just exposure to be able to just added +.0.25... to what ever the current value is would make editing so much quicker.

It would be great if Adobe added support for a WB, tint and exposure offset inside the preset.

example:
- WB set as shot plus +250 Kelvin offset

- tint as shot plus +23 offset

- eposure as shot +0,3 offset

This would help with a lot of presets which require a slight offset in these values, but you can't save these in the preset, as every piture has different WB, Tint and eposures.

I've added a quick mockup how the preset saving window could look like...

Hello everyone, especially Adobe

I have 200 or 300 images from a shoot. I adjust the settings so each photo is similar tone, colour, contrast, etc. The next morning, I come back, and I decide I want each photo to be a bit lighter or darker or darker shadows. As all the photos have different settings, I cannot sync settings from one photo to the next. It would be great if we could tell LR to adjust specific settings by x amount. For example, change the tone by  -.15 and the shadows by +20.

This is a long overdue idea. You should be able to apply a change across a range of photos as additive or proportional (percentage). Film and video color correctors have had global trim capability for over 30 years, it's a no brainer.

You can already do this, but you need to use the Quick Develop panel in the Library module for it, not the Develop module. The Quick Develop panel adjustments are relative, not absolute. If you select many photos, and then click on the button to darken the exposure one third of a stop, then all images will be darkened by one third stop, and not set to the same exposure like the Develop module would do.
