ralfmaro Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hey is there any possibilty to synchronize the development of raw files or copy the last adjustment to the next file? Best r. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 7, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi Ralfmaro, Welcome to the forums! At this moment in time it is not possible to do this. However Batch Processing is something that is on our RoadMap for the future. Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

GubbelGubbel Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Is there any news on this topic after half a decade? In LR I like this feature. I also have no glue about how to synchronize development with macros. Is there a tutorial I did not find? Regards Rego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one does, it is not possible. About the only thing that can be done is to use the basic nothing-is-applied development available with the Batch Process. Choose a bunch of raw files and choose a file format, size and location for output and there you go. Rarely useful, only just a possibility and not anything close to a solution.

GubbelGubbel Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I don't understand why there is no build in solution ( as LR has) after years. For me I have often the situation that a photo took at similar situations needs alignment. Especially when taken in the 'auto' modus on a mobile phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different type of applications. LR is a DAM (Digital Asset Management) app, that can also develop RAW files, and others. It has a built in, proprietary catalog. While it can create XMP files, not all the info in those files can be read by other apps. They Sync in LR, just copies instructions that can be pasted into the other files instructions, which are the catalog, not the image files themselves. Nothing happens to those image files, RAW, JPEG, PNG, PSD, ect, until you export from LR. When you export, it uses the Catalog to apply all the adjustments made, keywords, ect, to the files. Affinity Photo, does not have any catalog, no place to store instructions. It also is designed to process one image at a time. No matter if you're developing RAW files or compressed (JPEG, PNG, TIFF, ect) it's done one at a time. Unless you're using the Batch feature. I think a drawback with this, you don't see the results until after the batch processing is completed. Then if you don't like what was done, there's no undo, you have to delete all those files. Also trying to batch process RAW files just doesn't work well at all. Then to top it off AP's Macro is too limiting. So trying to compare or expect Affinity Photo to LR is like comparing apples to oranges. Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

GubbelGubbel Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Thanks for this detailed explanation. Perhaps synchronization is the wrong verb and aligning would be a better one (sorry English is not my language😇) I have to accept that Affinity Photo is not programmed that way to store raw development steps (even of the Develop Persona) in external files to be recalled for other photos. But for 'aligning' there might be a way of analyzing photos and adjusting the others to the same look e.g. exposure. To my knowledge LR does this. I selected a couple of similar photos and LR aligned the to the 'same' look and feel. Conclusion: I have to go back to oranges (which I don't want to) - or other fruits that states they can synchronize/align development of photos 😉 Coming back to apples and oranges. I don't care - I just wanna have as less fruits as possible to solve my issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can save Presets of settings for the various tabs in the Develop and then apply those to new raw files. Unfortunately applying them can only be done one at a time and cannot be automated. It is as though we are 95% of the way there.... Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

GubbelGubbel Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Ok. The presets I found and I will try out macros to have same development steps...but did not work with Develop 😐 Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
