copy paste local adjustments (all which are in that menu)Įasiest way is a checkbox list in copy or paste dialoge window before apply.Hence I follow my presets system as much as possible where I can exclude perspective and crop type palettes by default. I really don’t want cropping or rotation carried over when I’m trying to paste exposure settings. I shoot action off a tripod much of the time and the camera is always in motion.

Windows users really need to be able to copy and paste setting without local adjustments.Īs a Mac user who uses this feature, I’d sorely like horizon, perspective and cropping excluded from global copy and paste. I had no idea that copy/paste without local adjustments didn’t exist on Windows.

This would still be a poor substitute for what I’m requesting (and cropping is global). I could live with just avoiding local adjustments if cropping were considered a local adjustment. If they use the same solution for Windows, they would address the request in the other post but not mine. I understand that copy/paste without local adjustments is already available fpr PL2 on Macs. Until I learn otherwise, my request stands-I am not wedded to the Adobe approach, if there is something equivalent or better. But as far as I can tell, the feature does not exist in PL2, except as clumsy work-arounds. If there is a way to perform selective copy/paste (or even if there is an even better work-around), I’d be happy to learn about it. Both these people offered useful feedback and I appreciate their comments. While not actually addressing my request, Piole did respond to something I mentioned in passing. Piole didn’t offer a work-around, but pointed out a feature in PL2 that goes part way in matching Adobe Camera Raw’s synchronization feature (the missing part is still the selective copy/paste). Sigi offered a better work-around using a temporary virtual copy. The feature I asked for is a selective copy/paste.

Adding this wouldn’t interfere with anyone’s existing workflows.In the context of pasting, showing just the enabled settings would make sense.Īgain I’d suggest working with the tools the software offers you and think less about trying to make PhotoLab into Lightroom. While I’d love to see image synchronization implemented in PL2, I’d be happy if I could do a selective paste. Occasionally, I need to do something different (like only synchronize the sharpening and noise reductions) and the dialog is structured to make it easy to turn off everything else. The “laundry list” is pretty easy for me to use as the default items selected (in ACR for CS6, anyway) are almost always the set I want. You would normally select the adjustments to apply before you actually apply them, therefore the concept of “adjustments actively in use” makes no sense. A change to one image affects the enabled settings of all other images as you make the changes. I can’t address Lightroom or Iridient, but in Adobe Camera Raw, images are synchronized. The rest is just noise requiring decisions to be taken where there are none (i.e.the adjustments offered aren’t in use). In this kind of interface, only the adjustments actively in use should even be offered as an option. One issue with both Adobe Lightroom and Iridient Developer is that the list doesn’t show which of these settings/adjustments is in use.
