Can you update exposure in Lightroom on multiple images at one time?

I thought you could do this with Lightroom but I'm not having any luck. I'd like to select 10 images that are in the same lighting environment and correct them all at once. Any advice? Is this possible?

You should just be able to 'copy' the settings from one image, then highlight some other photos from the bottom panel and hit the 'paste' button. Doing this should bring up a dialog box that allows you to choose which settings to copy over. I've noticed that if I select a certain number of photos, it doesn't apply the settings to all of them. It only applies it to the first image for me.

Try this. IIRC in the develop module click on the 10 images you want to adjust, making sure you are working on your first image. Adjust Exposure. Scroll all the way down on the Right Panel and click Sync.

Develop one image. Select the whole group of images (click on the first, Shift and click on the last and/or Ctrl and click to select and deselect individual images). Alt (Option on the Mac) and click on the image with the settings you want to copy, and Sync Settings.

In2Photos is correct also. This is the way I do it. Less clicks and commands ;)

Here's an even quicker one for you... takes a bit of getting used to though.

Select multiple images.
Hold down Cmd (Mac) or Ctrl (Win) and press what used to be the Sync button (now says AutoSync.
Adjust your exposure on the image you can see, and all of the other selected images will be instantly updated with the same slider setting.

The button is sticky - it'll apply any time you have multiple images selected. Cmd-Click again to change back to a standard sync.

Fantastic, that will save me a ton of time. I can't believe I waited so long to go to RAW! What was I thinking? :rolleyes:

Nice! Though as you say, takes a bit of getting used to.
