Lightroom white balance

What's the fastest way to set the same white balance on a while batch of pictures? Is copy and paste setting (checking only WB) the only way? That seems a little kludgey so I didn't know if there were other ways or not.

You could save a particular white balance as a preset and apply that preset upon import.

My aproach is to do the adjustment on one image, select all (keeing the one "acitve"), and use the Synch button in the Develop module to apy the needed settings. You can right- click or use a shortcut to get to the same dialog. If that's what you mean by cludgy, well, I don't know -- it's handy for me because I tyically apply a number of adjustments across a batch and this way I can apply them all or pick and choose which ones to apply.

Or turn on Auto Sync. What you do to one is done to all.

Ah yeah! I never even get around to messing with that setting -- I guess I don't want a performance hit, but it's probably cool.

I've never used sync, I'll check that out.

I though you were referring to sync in your first post, but yeah, that is definitely the way to go. Just remember to uncheck things you don't want applied to everything, like crop.

Sync ftw.

Yep, played with sync, that's what I've been looking for!
