Video Summary

This tutorial from Creative Pad Media explains how to use Batch Editing (syncing settings) in Lightroom Mobile to quickly apply the same edits to multiple photos from a single session.

The Batch Editing Process

Batch editing allows you to edit one primary photo and then “sync” those exact settings to other similar images, saving significant time [00:47].

  1. Copy Settings: Open your fully edited photo, tap the three dots in the top right, and select “Copy Settings” [01:20].
  2. Select What to Sync: A menu will appear asking which adjustments to copy.
    • Recommended to Sync: Light (exposure/contrast), Color, Effects, Detail (sharpening), and Optics [01:47, 01:53].
    • Recommended to Skip: Crop, Healing (blemish removal), Masking, and Geometry, as these are usually specific to the individual framing of each shot [01:26, 01:42].
  3. Apply to Others: Go back to your library, tap “Select,” choose all the target images, tap the three dots again, and hit “Paste Settings” [03:03, 03:26].

Fine-Tuning After Syncing

Syncing gets you about 90% of the way there, but individual adjustments are often still needed [03:43]:

  • Exposure: One image might be slightly brighter or darker than the original, requiring a quick tweak to the exposure slider [04:42].
  • Composition: You will still need to manually crop, straighten, or apply geometry corrections (like “Auto Upright”) to ensure each photo is perfectly aligned [04:14, 05:06].

Key Efficiency Tip

If you have a large shoot (e.g., 20+ shots), batch editing is the most efficient way to maintain a consistent “look” across the entire gallery without editing every photo from scratch [05:34].
