Toning across multiple images

I am a graphic designer turned photographer/videographer. I work for a company that makes automotive tools. I'm trying to figure out how to get consistent tone and color across multiple images that were shot previously. Are there settings or actions I can create to quickly update images so that all look like they were taken at the same time?

Thank you for your input. However, reshooting all is not an option. We are talking thousands upon thousands of images, the logistics of which would be a nightmare. I will figure this out. Thanks for the help.


I agree with others that the "take it again" filter is the best way. However,  if you are stuck with what you have got, then a quick and dirty way of bringing them closer is to  try adding a B&W adjustment layer then a Hue/Sat layer set to colorise and adjust the Blend if value of the Hue /Sat layer as shown. Those two layers can be dragged onto as many images as you want.

Much depends upon whether the variation is one of color balance, contrast, or background color as opposed to a difference in product lighting and vantage point, for example. Please post random samples of the images, perhaps three or four, to give us an idea of what you are dealing with along with probable final size.
