P: Sync Images by histogram

[simons3565592]

To be able to adjust exposure by dragging the histogram and having that sync across to all images that you have selected.

You can currently do this this but the + / - of the exposure (or shadows, highlights etc) is what syncs, not the histogram.

So, if you have multiple images selected, and adjust the histgram on one image, and that therefore translates to a +1.50 of exposure, then all the selected images are also adjusted by +1.50 of exposure.

This can be the same for shadows, highlights etc but each image would therefore have differing histograms.

It would be handy to be able to sync the images by histogram, so each image selected could therefore be differing figures on the sliders (eg +1.50 for one, +0.75 for another etc - but the histogram reads the same)

Great for getting a batch of images synced if you happen to be over / under exposed when shooting. 

I shoot a lot of sport and this would be much quicker to batch process images for a match.

Hope that makes sense.

Have you tried the 'Match Total Exposures' menu?

Hi Johan,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I have and in the past found it very inconsistant with results. It is definately a lot better now.

It would still be handy to be able to adjust like I outlined as you could adjust white balance etc all in one hit, and then just adjust the histogram to finish it all off.

The match total exposures doen't take all that into account - from what I have seen, I'll have another look at it with some game galleries from this weekend.

I guess, yes - match total exposures is a work around, but it's still another process to do and hidden away a little bit in the menu.

Cheers.

Even if you could "sync histograms", that wouldn't mean that your images would all look the same. Do yourself a favor and HIDE THE HISTOGRAM.
