Matching exposure across multiple photos

  • September 19, 2017

I'd like to match exposure across a large set of photos, but for a specific part of the photo, not the entire photo. It would obviously be the same coordinates on each photo.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

For time-lapse there's no integrated way to do this in LR.

I suggest to use a specific tool: https://lrtimelapse.com/

  1. Put Auto Sync on [1]!
  2. Select your pictures (you can also select first and put auto sync second).
  3. Do whatever ("local" [2]) edits you want to do... each edit is synced automatically to all the pictures.
  4. Put Auto Sync off.
  5. You can continue editing each picture individually.

    Abambo,

    Thank you for your quick reply. If I understand this correctly, it's in the right direction, but doesn't quite give me what I'm looking for.

    1. How do I set exposure based only on part of the photo, instead of the entire thing? I'd like for each of the photos to be adjusted to a specific physical portion of itself (i.e. the top right corner), instead of the entire photo.
    2. I'd like for each photo to be adjusted according to the automatic adjustments, individually, instead of applying the same auto-adjustments across the entire set. The light changes quite a bit over the series of time-lapse photos, and I'd like each photo to be considered individually.

    Thanks!
