Developing multiple RAW images.


Recommended Posts

Here’s what I’m wanting to do. I have multiple RAW images. All were taken together under exact lighting conditions. All images will require the exact adjustments - exposure, black point, contrast, white balance, saturation, etc, etc. Is there a way to open one image, make all my adjustments and save those adjustments like a macro to run on the rest of the RAW images that were from the same shoot?

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

 

there is a "dirty" trick:

  • New Stack
  • Select all RAW images and add them
  • Execute Stack (disable all align options)
  • You get a stack of all images developed with default settings
  • Remove stack (remove all images from stack)
  • Do all the adjustments as live adjustments / filters, e.g.
    • exposure
    • Black point: use levels
    • contrast
    • white balance
    • HSL
    • unsharp mask
    • curve
  • maybe group adjustments
  • copy group to all layers (nested)
  • use export persona for mass export

Why is this "dirty"?

  • The normal "Develop" Persona maybe gives slightly different results, e.g. hot pixel elimination. Only Affinity can tell.

Why is this useful:

  • Almost every "Develop persona" functionality is available as adjustment / filter in Photo Persona, either directly or via workarounds, e.g.
    • Use live projection instead of horizontal >/ vertical lens correction
    • Use move tool instead of rotate / size lens correction
    • Use unsharp mask instead of "Refine Details"
    • Use Masks or blurred vector shapes instead of Overlays
