batch editing photos in Adobe elements14
So what is this all about???? let me try and explain.
often colours in a photo are not as one really sees in real life ,so how to get over it.
One way is to use a grey card and take a photo of it and use it as a preset instead the norm of sun-cloud -shade etc.
With adobe elements it is possible to import that grey card colour and use that as a custom setting same as in a camera
The problem I came up against was exporting
back in RAW the new customs settings
I have been studying in Adobe Elements 14 how to
batch export to original files. Batch customising already found out how to do that (importing grey card) into elements as The customs setting.
Eventually found that one has to go into elements- edit- preferences- saving files- (tick box) Save as to original folder.
This then resets all the photos on the memory card to the correct preset colour still in RAW
Tried saving to desktop and it saves as being in elements not as a photo, unless one makes it into a Jpeg file.
So now I have batch edited with customs settings about 20 files back into my memory card.
Now with the correct colour in the memory card in RAW allows me to manipulate the photos as there is more data to work with
ok why all this bother??
Have we all not taken photos that are too bright or too dark and scrapped them!
using a custom preset in an editing suite makes it so much easier to correct. When you have 20/30 or more photos then you can start to see the problem. Correcting each one individually would be hours of work. this of course does depend on the daylight being about the same.
