Copy and paste Develop settings
You can copy and paste individual Develop settings from the current photo to another photo in Library and Develop
modules. To paste settings to multiple photos, you must be in the Library module.
1 To copy the current photo’s Develop settings, do one of the following:
• In the Develop module, click the Copy button to the left of the toolbar, choose Edit > Copy, or choose Settings >
Copy Settings. Select the settings you want and click Copy.
• In the Library module, choose Photo > Develop Settings > Copy Settings. Select the settings you want and click
Copy.
Note: (Mac OS) The Edit > Copy command in the Library module copies text and metadata. The Edit > Copy
command in the Develop module copies selected text in a panel or copies the Develop settings of a selected photo.
2 To paste the copied Develop settings to one other photo, select that photo in the Filmstrip in the Library or Develop
module and do one of the following:
• In the Develop module, click the Paste button, choose Edit > Paste, or choose Settings > Paste Settings.
• In the Library module, choose Photo > Develop Settings > Paste Settings.
Note: (Mac OS) The Edit > Paste command in the Library module pastes copied text and metadata.
3 To paste the copied Develop settings to multiple photos, select the photos in the Grid view or the Filmstrip of the
Library module and choose Photo > Develop Settings > Paste Settings.
Note: (Mac OS) The Edit > Paste command in the Library module pastes copied text and metadata.
Apply Develop presets using the Painter tool
1 In the Grid view of the Library module, select the Painter tool in the toolbar, and then choose Settings from the Paint
menu in the toolbar.
Note: If the Painter tool does not appear in the toolbar, choose Painter from the toolbar menu.
2 Choose a Develop preset, such as Creative - Aged Photo, from the pop-up menu in the toolbar, and then click or
drag across photos to apply the setting.
3 To disable the Painter, click the circular well in the toolbar. When disabled, the Painter icon is visible in the toolbar.
Synchronize settings across multiple photos
The Synchronize command in the Library and Develop modules allows you to apply selected Develop settings of the
current photo to other photos in the Filmstrip. (The current photo is indicated by a brighter white border in the
Filmstrip thumbnail.)
Note: When only one photo is selected in the Filmstrip, the Sync Settings command is not available. In the Develop module,
the Sync button becomes the Previous button; in the Library module, the Sync Settings button is inactive.
• Shift-click or Ctrl-click (Windows) or Command-click (Mac OS) to select other photos in the Filmstrip to
synchronize with the current photo, and then do one of the following:
• In the Develop module, click the Sync button or choose Settings > Sync Settings. Select the settings to copy and
click Synchronize.
• In the Develop module, click the Enable Auto Sync switch on the left side of the Sync button to enable Auto Sync
mode. Then, drag sliders or make adjustments, and the adjustments are applied to all selected photos.
• In the Library module, click the Sync Settings button or choose Photo > Develop Settings > Sync Settings. Select
the settings to copy and click Synchronize.
