6.6. Applying Color Balance Techniques to Other Images

If you shot a series (or what Aperture calls a "set") of the same image in the same lighting conditions and are post-processing them in Photoshop according to the recommendations so far given in this chapter, it's very easy to apply all that work to the whole series.

  1. Keep the first image that you processed open, along with its Layers palette.

  2. Go back to Bridge and make sure all the other images in the series had those same settings applied to them. If not, open the first image in Camera Raw, then click the Done button. This registers the settings for that image as the last settings that were made. Go back to Bridge.

  3. Highlight all the images in the series and press Enter/Return. They will all open in Camera Raw simultaneously. Click the Select All button. Now, from the Settings menu, choose Previous Conversion.

  4. Make sure all the thumbnails are still selected and click the Open button. All of the images will open in Photoshop.

  5. Select the first image and make sure its Layers palette is open. Select all the adjustment layers (they all have that adjustment layer icon at the left end of the Layer Bar. Choose Make Group from Layers from the Layers palette menu.

  6. Drag the adjustment layer group to each of the other images in the series. You will see all of the adjustments happen automatically.
