In LR, you don't need to do that on import. 1. You can apply a filter to select the photos you want to batch-edit (e.g. I apply a filter that has text "6400" (for ISO-6400)) Go to the "develop" module. 2. Edit one photo. 3. Select the photos you want to apply it to (highlight, e.g. all by Ctrl-A) 4. While keeping them all highlighted, choose the photo that you edited to become "active". 5. Then "Apply to all" in the "develop" module, and choose which parameters you want to apply.
Hope this helps, Igor Tue May 20 11:23:12 EDT 2014 Stanley Halpin I have inserted below a copy of Bryan's reply to your similar earlier question about white balance. It is the same process you would follow for noise reduction. Note that you can do a pre-set for the .standard. adjustments you want to make to images when you import them. E.g., I use LR.s Scenic Sharpening (if I recall the name correctly) as my preset when importing. But you could edit and save that, with addition of your baseline noise processing. Make one that is Scenic+6400noise, another that is Scenic+12800noise, etc. Then take care of this basic batch adjustment on import. You have NOT lost anything, you have just adjusted the start-point for whatever else you want to do to an image. E.g., you may later want to turn OFF the noise reduction for a given image; no problem. stan >> On May 2, 2014, at 12:31 PM, Bryan Jacoby <bryan.jacoby at gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> In Lightroom, if you select a bunch of photos and turn on auto synch >>> any change you make in one photo will be applied to others.
