Batch editing in Lightroom CC

  • March 28, 2018

I have watched a few tutorials on editing in Lightroom CC, but haven't come across how to batch process.  I had Lightroom 5 prior to this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

    If you are referring to the NEW Lightroom CC (that cloud-based version), then there is no batch processing available at this time. The standard copy/paste option is all that is available right now.

    I'm now uninstalling the new Lightroom CC and going back to the "old" Lightroom Classic CC, only because of batch processing.

      When will the batch processing function be re-added to LR? This single function is the main reason I use LR. Batch editing is so cumbersome now.

        I don't mean to sound flippant or anything like that. But it will be added when the development team decides to add it. Adobe doesn't make those kinds of announcements in advance. And I wouldn't know anyway, because I don't have any connection with Adobe whatsoever. I'm just a user like yourself.

        Just a point of clarification. Batch editing will not be "re-added" to Lightroom CC. Lightroom CC is not a revision of Lightroom in any sense of the word. It is being designed and developed from the ground up as a new application aimed at a different audience with different needs. When you are using Lightroom CC, nothing has been taken away. Since it is part of an ecosystem that crosses multiple devices and operating systems that need to be coordinated, a lot of thought goes into how everything works together and what is made available.

        I'm reading this, but it's unbelievable. I tried for about an hour to batch-paste attributes from one image into a few hundred others in a time-lapse sequence. I knew there had to be a way. Now I read that there's not a way. "No way," I thought to myself. "Way," said my conscience. Now, my conscience hates me. And vice versa.

          Hi,

          Thanks for that info.

          I don't know how to do the copy/paste options steps in this software though.

          I only did batch processing with the Sync settings of Lightroom 5.

          Would you mind telling me the steps in the copy/paste method.

          Thank you very much.

          Windows:

          Highlight Image, press Ctrl+C. this will copy all the adjustments you have made to that image. This is the standard copy command in Windows.

          Highlight the target image. Press Ctrl+V. this will copy all the adjustments from the previous image to the new image. This is the standard paste command in Windows, and can be repeated as many times as you want those same adjustments copied to additional images.

          Mac: the equivalent keyboard strokes.
