Step Three:
The other time I use the Quick Develop
panel is (2) when I'm in Compare or Survey
view (as shown here), because you can
apply Quick Develop edits while in these
side-by-side views (just be sure to click on
the photo you want to edit first, and make
sure Auto Sync is turned off at the bottom
of the Quick Develop panel). For example,
these photos have a blue color cast (they
were shot on a gray background), so while
in Survey mode, click on the top-right photo.
To get it back to neutral, I had to click the
Temperature double-right-arrow button
once, and then click the Tint double-right-
arrow button once. Now that I know the
adjustments I need, I could return to Grid
view, select all those similar photos, and fix
them all at once with just those three clicks.
Also, when you're correcting multiple pho-
tos using Quick Develop, every image gets
the exact same amount of correction (so
if you increase the exposure by ²⁄3 of a stop,
all the selected photos go up by ²⁄3 of a stop,
regardless of what their current exposure is).
But, it's not that way when you do the same
thing in the Develop module using Auto
Sync. There, if you set the exposure of one
photo to +0.50, every selected photo's expo-
sure is also set to +0.50.
Step Four:
If you've selected a bunch of photos, but
only want certain edits you made applied
to them (rather than all your Quick Develop
edits), then click the Sync Settings button
at the bottom of the right side Panels area.
This brings up a dialog (shown here) where
you can choose which Quick Develop set-
tings get applied to the rest of the selected
photos. Just turn on the checkboxes beside
those settings you want applied, and then
click the Synchronize button.
TIP: Undo Quick Develop Changes
You can undo any individual change in the
Quick Develop panel by double-clicking on
that control's name.
