What I do in these situations is pick a spot on one photo that I can use as a white balance/density reference. Then walk through each exposure and adjust WB slider and exposure until they match. That gets in the ballpark pretty easily. In LR3, there's a new function called Match Total Exposure.

Once I have tweaked my first image to satisfaction I can then apply the same adjustments to my other photos. The big hurdle is getting the first one adjusted to match the set where the white balance was set correctly. I'm such a n00b w LR that I am fumbling pretty blindly with the sliders and

LR should show you the colour temperature of the pictures you like. You can type that same colour temperature into the ones you want to change - you don't have to use the dropper or the sliders. Bob Once I have tweaked my first image to satisfaction I can then apply the same adjustments to

Congratulations on the new family member. You'll just have to fool with the white balance. I came across 25-30 year old photos from the delivery room yesterday. You won't mind the odd colors in 25 years. :-) Regards, Bob S. On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 1:36 PM, Sam L samthegr...@gmail.com wrote: Hi
