Application Of Settings To Hundreds Of Images

[eliza89681725]

I was watching an Adobe tutorial for Lightroom-- which I do not have--in which adjustments were made to the first of multiple images, then applied to all of the remaining images, in one go. Can this be done in Photoshop? While I did watch Apply corrections to a set of photos https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/how-to/edit-multiple-photos.html, I am wondering if there is a way to do this with a hundred, or more, photos taken for star trails (not video), without having to transfer settings, one by one. I have discovered Previous Conversion, in Camera Raw, which lets me do this by opening the photos.  This is great, but not when there is a huge number of photos.  Is there a faster way?

You can automate many things in Photoshop with scripting and recording and editing  actions and these can be batch one way or an other. You are also missing some CC 2018 updates or you have a problem your info shows version 19.0 current is 19.1.5

You can open multiple images in Camera Raw and sync settings (apply same settings to all open images).

Second: in Adobe Bridge which you can copy Camera Raw settings and paste them to multiple images using right click on image in Adobe Bridge > Develop Settings > Copy/Paste Settings.

Here is my video with more details.

Also Scripts like the Image processor has a process to automate that process for a batch of raw file by opening the first Raw file in a batch for you to set your conversion options and then the script will use the settings you set for all the following RAW look at section one in the script dialog. the option Open First image to apply settings. The Image processor script can process file selected in the Bridge, Open documents, a folder raw files or folder and its  sub-folders.   Its options  "use open Images" and "Open first image to apply settings" can not be use together and the script will gray out Open first image to apply settings  if you select use open images for  their raw conversion have been done.
