1
00:00:00,200 –> 00:00:01,240
- On today's show, we're gonna look at
2
00:00:01,240 –> 00:00:04,220
how to do the impossible
in Lightroom Mobile.
3
00:00:04,220 –> 00:00:06,930
That is copy / duplicate photos
4
00:00:06,930 –> 00:00:09,800
and how to batch apply a copy and paste
5
00:00:09,800 –> 00:00:12,262
to copy and paste your image adjustments.
6
00:00:12,262 –> 00:00:14,234
(upbeat music)
7
00:00:14,234 –> 00:00:16,302
(upbeat music)
8
00:00:16,302 –> 00:00:18,371
(upbeat music)
9
00:00:18,371 –> 00:00:20,826
(upbeat music)
10
00:00:20,826 –> 00:00:23,220
(upbeat music)
11
00:00:23,220 –> 00:00:26,240
For any of you out there who've
been using Lightroom Mobile
12
00:00:26,240 –> 00:00:27,930
along with the Lightroom Desktop…
13
00:00:27,930 –> 00:00:31,300
now this is the Lightroom CC
which used to just be called…
14
00:00:31,300 –> 00:00:32,280
there's Lightroom Classic…
15
00:00:32,280 –> 00:00:33,490
and then… they keep changing the names.
16
00:00:33,490 –> 00:00:35,030
It's actually… the CC's now gone.
17
00:00:35,030 –> 00:00:37,200
It is now “Lightroom”, full stop.
18
00:00:37,200 –> 00:00:39,570
You have Lightroom Desktop
and you have Lightroom Mobile
19
00:00:39,570 –> 00:00:40,403
but it's just “Lightroom”.
20
00:00:40,403 –> 00:00:41,560
So, this is the one we're talking about.
21
00:00:41,560 –> 00:00:43,280
For the most part, you have feature parody
22
00:00:43,280 –> 00:00:44,680
across the desktop and the mobile.
23
00:00:44,680 –> 00:00:47,704
For the most part. There
are few key differences
24
00:00:47,704 –> 00:00:50,330
and some things that may
actually stop you from using it
25
00:00:50,330 –> 00:00:52,423
which can be super frustrating.
26
00:00:52,423 –> 00:00:54,060
There the two features
particularly that I use
27
00:00:54,060 –> 00:00:56,390
all the time that do not exist on mobile
28
00:00:56,390 –> 00:00:57,560
and it was driving me nuts
29
00:00:57,560 –> 00:00:59,640
until I figured out a way around this.
30
00:00:59,640 –> 00:01:02,570
Here's the deal, we
want to be able to copy
31
00:01:02,570 –> 00:01:05,477
or duplicate photos.
Super common thing to do!
32
00:01:05,477 –> 00:01:08,330
But you can't do it on
mobile… it doesn't exist!
33
00:01:08,330 –> 00:01:10,120
It's like, “where is the copy, duplicate?”
34
00:01:10,120 –> 00:01:10,953
It's not there!
35
00:01:10,953 –> 00:01:12,640
And the other one is “batch pasting”.
36
00:01:12,640 –> 00:01:15,570
You can copy and paste the adjustments
37
00:01:15,570 –> 00:01:16,760
from one photo to another,
38
00:01:16,760 –> 00:01:19,080
but what you can't do
is copy the adjustments
39
00:01:19,080 –> 00:01:22,410
from one photo and then
paste it to multiple at once.
40
00:01:22,410 –> 00:01:26,780
So, this can be a real bummer
for a lot of workflows,
41
00:01:26,780 –> 00:01:27,960
but we've got a workaround.
42
00:01:27,960 –> 00:01:30,740
Now, the workaround
involves Remote Desktopping
43
00:01:30,740 –> 00:01:32,410
into your desktop computer.
44
00:01:32,410 –> 00:01:34,187
Okay, don't hate me. I
realize, this is kind of like,
45
00:01:34,187 –> 00:01:35,780
“Well duh, of course I can do that”,
46
00:01:35,780 –> 00:01:37,969
but it's actually a lot
easier than it sounds
47
00:01:37,969 –> 00:01:41,120
and it works really,
really remarkably well.
48
00:01:41,120 –> 00:01:42,210
Now, the software that I'm using
49
00:01:42,210 –> 00:01:43,810
is something called Screens.
50
00:01:43,810 –> 00:01:45,040
I'll include a link to that down below.
51
00:01:45,040 –> 00:01:46,310
I don't have any kind of
discount codes for you
52
00:01:46,310 –> 00:01:48,190
or anything like that,
but it's called Screens.
53
00:01:48,190 –> 00:01:49,740
You can just search for
it on the Mac App Store.
54
00:01:49,740 –> 00:01:52,100
It is a paid app and
you'll have a version of it
55
00:01:52,100 –> 00:01:52,933
that runs on your Mac
56
00:01:52,933 –> 00:01:55,440
and a version that runs
on your iOS device.
57
00:01:55,440 –> 00:01:57,590
For now, let's start by
just launching Lightroom.
58
00:01:57,590 –> 00:01:59,120
I've got these six photos in here,
59
00:01:59,120 –> 00:02:00,330
and I love these photos,
60
00:02:00,330 –> 00:02:01,163
I love the look I've applied to 'em,
61
00:02:01,163 –> 00:02:02,150
I think this is great,
62
00:02:02,150 –> 00:02:04,370
but I'm thinking maybe I
wanna try something different.
63
00:02:04,370 –> 00:02:05,800
I don't wanna get rid of…
64
00:02:05,800 –> 00:02:08,280
I don't wanna lose the work
that I've already done.
65
00:02:08,280 –> 00:02:12,210
So I want to duplicate
these and apply a new look.
66
00:02:12,210 –> 00:02:14,030
And once I find a new look I like on one,
67
00:02:14,030 –> 00:02:15,100
I want to apply it to all of them.
68
00:02:15,100 –> 00:02:16,600
So, super, super common workflow.
69
00:02:16,600 –> 00:02:20,010
In here, I could just do
the work in this same album
70
00:02:20,010 –> 00:02:21,300
but I actually want to create a new album,
71
00:02:21,300 –> 00:02:22,951
so I'm gonna go over here and
just hit PLUS and new album
72
00:02:22,951 –> 00:02:26,930
and we're gonna call
this Teresa Version two.
73
00:02:26,930 –> 00:02:29,250
I want to be copies of
these photos into that
74
00:02:29,250 –> 00:02:32,460
and of course I can't,
so here's what I do.
75
00:02:32,460 –> 00:02:33,300
I go to my desktop.
76
00:02:33,300 –> 00:02:34,200
(Let's go to the overhead views,
77
00:02:34,200 –> 00:02:35,750
so that you can actually
see what happens now.)
78
00:02:35,750 –> 00:02:37,630
And I launch something called Screens.
79
00:02:37,630 –> 00:02:40,440
And Screens, is right now
seeing three of my computers,
80
00:02:40,440 –> 00:02:41,980
and this is one I'm going to connect to.
81
00:02:41,980 –> 00:02:45,400
I tap on that and it is
connecting, downloading
82
00:02:45,400 –> 00:02:47,050
and in a moment here… there it is!
83
00:02:47,050 –> 00:02:48,050
We are connected.
84
00:02:48,050 –> 00:02:52,200
I will say that this does
work over an LTE connection.
85
00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:54,100
I have done that many many times.
86
00:02:54,100 –> 00:02:56,030
Obviously, it's faster if you're on WiFi,
87
00:02:56,030 –> 00:02:57,450
but if you are on an LTE connection,
88
00:02:57,450 –> 00:02:59,020
then it will still work.
89
00:02:59,020 –> 00:03:00,410
The one thing, well two things,
90
00:03:00,410 –> 00:03:01,440
I'll actually tell you about that.
91
00:03:01,440 –> 00:03:03,150
If you're going to do an
LTE connection to your Mac,
92
00:03:03,150 –> 00:03:04,610
make sure that it works before
93
00:03:04,610 –> 00:03:06,980
you leave your home or studio.
94
00:03:06,980 –> 00:03:08,833
There are some configurations
things within Screens
95
00:03:08,833 –> 00:03:10,390
that you really gotta get right
96
00:03:10,390 –> 00:03:12,100
and if you don't have it set up properly,
97
00:03:12,100 –> 00:03:13,440
you might be able to connect on WiFi
98
00:03:13,440 –> 00:03:14,590
and think it's all working
99
00:03:14,590 –> 00:03:16,550
but then you can't connect over LTE,
100
00:03:16,550 –> 00:03:18,780
so you want to make sure
that that is working,
101
00:03:18,780 –> 00:03:20,700
so all you gotta do is turn
off WiFi on your iOS device
102
00:03:20,700 –> 00:03:22,557
and test it and if it's not
working then troubleshoot.
103
00:03:22,557 –> 00:03:25,310
And that's a Screens thing,
so go to their support
104
00:03:25,310 –> 00:03:26,887
and figure that out.
105
00:03:26,887 –> 00:03:29,278
(upbeat music)
106
00:03:29,278 –> 00:03:31,428
(upbeat music)
107
00:03:31,428 –> 00:03:33,061
(upbeat music)
108
00:03:33,061 –> 00:03:34,590
I'll bring my mouse down to the bottom
109
00:03:34,590 –> 00:03:35,970
and you'll see the dock is gonna come up,
110
00:03:35,970 –> 00:03:38,760
and you see the same
thing happening up there,
111
00:03:38,760 –> 00:03:41,600
and I'll just tap on
that to launch Lightroom,
112
00:03:41,600 –> 00:03:43,260
and you can see there's
very little latency
113
00:03:43,260 –> 00:03:44,400
between them, which is pretty cool.
114
00:03:44,400 –> 00:03:46,002
Let's see here, I'm looking
115
00:03:46,002 –> 00:03:47,030
at a different folder than I was before.
116
00:03:47,030 –> 00:03:48,590
Now, I can pinch in,
117
00:03:48,590 –> 00:03:50,070
even though I'm looking
at my desktop view,
118
00:03:50,070 –> 00:03:51,810
I can pinch into here and let's see,
119
00:03:51,810 –> 00:03:54,968
that new album I created
was, let's turns this into…
120
00:03:54,968 –> 00:03:56,310
into the touch mode here.
121
00:03:56,310 –> 00:03:57,143
There we go.
122
00:03:57,143 –> 00:04:01,120
Open up “by model”, open up
this and somewhere down here
123
00:04:01,120 –> 00:04:03,730
is… you can two finger scroll…
124
00:04:03,730 –> 00:04:05,150
which can be a little tricky sometime,
125
00:04:05,150 –> 00:04:05,983
but there we go.
126
00:04:05,983 –> 00:04:07,940
Two finger scroll, There's
Teresa version two.
127
00:04:07,940 –> 00:04:11,540
There's the empty album
that I just created.
128
00:04:11,540 –> 00:04:13,692
Okay, now let's go back
into the main album there,
129
00:04:13,692 –> 00:04:16,660
the one that I want to
duplicate all the photos from.
130
00:04:16,660 –> 00:04:18,730
And I want to select all of these,
131
00:04:18,730 –> 00:04:21,860
so you can use keyboard
shortcuts just like you would,
132
00:04:21,860 –> 00:04:24,810
if you have an actual
Smart Keyboard connected
133
00:04:24,810 –> 00:04:25,880
then you can use the keyboard shortcuts,
134
00:04:25,880 –> 00:04:27,080
which makes this even easier.
135
00:04:27,080 –> 00:04:28,630
I'm gonna do it entirely on the screen
136
00:04:28,630 –> 00:04:30,770
as if I didn't have a
keyboard, just to kind of show
137
00:04:30,770 –> 00:04:32,850
that you can even do it that way as well.
138
00:04:32,850 –> 00:04:33,740
Let's go over here,
139
00:04:33,740 –> 00:04:35,140
I'll bring up the keyboard.
140
00:04:35,140 –> 00:04:38,200
I'm gonna hit command and
A, and that's Select All.
141
00:04:38,200 –> 00:04:40,110
It's now selected all those.
142
00:04:40,110 –> 00:04:43,061
Then I can right-click by
two-finger tapping on the screen.
143
00:04:43,061 –> 00:04:44,830
That pulls up the menu,
144
00:04:44,830 –> 00:04:46,570
so there's the macOS menu showing that,
145
00:04:46,570 –> 00:04:49,690
and I'm gonna choose “Make
Copies of Six Photos” there.
146
00:04:49,690 –> 00:04:52,800
After just a moment, the six
photos are gonna get duplicated
147
00:04:52,800 –> 00:04:53,790
and there we go.
148
00:04:53,790 –> 00:04:54,960
Now at this point I could just leave it,
149
00:04:54,960 –> 00:04:56,450
but because I created a whole new album,
150
00:04:56,450 –> 00:04:59,160
I want to put them into there,
so I'm going to do that.
151
00:04:59,160 –> 00:05:01,550
Now, this is one of those areas where
152
00:05:01,550 –> 00:05:03,370
you've gotta have a little bit of trust
153
00:05:03,370 –> 00:05:04,860
and patience in what's happening.
154
00:05:04,860 –> 00:05:06,710
You can't move as quickly as you would if
155
00:05:06,710 –> 00:05:07,940
you were on the desktop.
156
00:05:07,940 –> 00:05:09,810
So, I can't just click and drag over.
157
00:05:09,810 –> 00:05:11,717
I'm gonna click (tap)
and just wait a second,
158
00:05:11,717 –> 00:05:14,170
even though I can't see –
159
00:05:14,170 –> 00:05:15,890
okay now I can see the computer –
160
00:05:15,890 –> 00:05:17,030
but normally you can't see the computer,
161
00:05:17,030 –> 00:05:19,570
just to kinda know that
it's actually active.
162
00:05:19,570 –> 00:05:21,030
Just have a little bit of patience
163
00:05:21,030 –> 00:05:21,940
when you're doing this sorta thing.
164
00:05:21,940 –> 00:05:24,430
Especially, if you're on
LTE – and it will work.
165
00:05:24,430 –> 00:05:27,270
Just keep in mind, you are remote
166
00:05:27,270 –> 00:05:28,520
accessing a machine here.
167
00:05:29,410 –> 00:05:30,910
Okay, now I've got these selected.
168
00:05:30,910 –> 00:05:33,170
Now these, the ones that are
duplicated, are still selected.
169
00:05:33,170 –> 00:05:34,580
You can see the white boxes around these.
170
00:05:34,580 –> 00:05:35,760
They're still selected.
171
00:05:35,760 –> 00:05:37,780
So, I could just take any one of those,
172
00:05:37,780 –> 00:05:40,530
tap and drag this guy, you
saw a little pulse to blue.
173
00:05:40,530 –> 00:05:42,930
And now as I drag, I can see
confirmation that I've got 'em
174
00:05:42,930 –> 00:05:46,020
and I'm gonna drag this into
that “Teresa version two”.
175
00:05:46,020 –> 00:05:47,980
We see now the count is going up to six.
176
00:05:47,980 –> 00:05:48,813
There it is.
177
00:05:48,813 –> 00:05:50,620
And so those are added in there.
178
00:05:50,620 –> 00:05:54,110
Now, these are also still over here,
179
00:05:54,110 –> 00:05:56,680
so if I don't want these
here, I can delete those.
180
00:05:56,680 –> 00:05:58,740
Let's bring up the keyboard,
and just hit delete
181
00:05:58,740 –> 00:06:01,840
and it's going to say
“they won't be deleted”,
182
00:06:01,840 –> 00:06:03,160
they're just being
removed from the albums.
183
00:06:03,160 –> 00:06:04,180
That's great, that's what I want.
184
00:06:04,180 –> 00:06:05,830
Hit remove and we're good.
185
00:06:05,830 –> 00:06:09,610
So, now I have two albums
that have the same content,
186
00:06:09,610 –> 00:06:11,820
“Teresa Lopez” and then
the “Teresa version two”.
187
00:06:11,820 –> 00:06:14,180
These right now have
the exact same images.
188
00:06:14,180 –> 00:06:18,140
At this point, I could,
if, you know, I liked pain,
189
00:06:18,140 –> 00:06:20,220
I could do all of my editing remotely,
190
00:06:20,220 –> 00:06:22,350
but there's no need to do
that because in the background
191
00:06:22,350 –> 00:06:25,230
this is already syncing back
over to Lightroom mobile here,
192
00:06:25,230 –> 00:06:27,520
so I may as well go and do the adjustments
193
00:06:27,520 –> 00:06:30,000
on the iPad natively
like I normally would.
194
00:06:30,000 –> 00:06:33,160
I'm just gonna pull up,
go back to Lightroom here.
195
00:06:33,160 –> 00:06:35,610
This is my mobile system.
196
00:06:35,610 –> 00:06:37,080
And you see, there's Teresa version two,
197
00:06:37,080 –> 00:06:39,420
now it hasn't quite, hasn't
quite caught up yet there.
198
00:06:39,420 –> 00:06:40,900
Now it's done in here.
199
00:06:40,900 –> 00:06:41,990
It was just taking a moment.
200
00:06:41,990 –> 00:06:43,610
So, there's those six images.
201
00:06:43,610 –> 00:06:45,737
So, there's the original ones
and there's the new ones.
202
00:06:45,737 –> 00:06:47,500
Okay, so now I'm going to do an edit.
203
00:06:47,500 –> 00:06:49,140
Let's say I go into
here and I'm just going
204
00:06:49,140 –> 00:06:51,885
to apply a preset just to
do something different.
205
00:06:51,885 –> 00:06:55,251
Let's do like a black and
white punch, we'll choose this.
206
00:06:55,251 –> 00:06:57,330
And because being able
to do selective copying
207
00:06:57,330 –> 00:06:58,440
of adjustments is important,
208
00:06:58,440 –> 00:07:00,810
I'm going to do one other
adjustment to this photo
209
00:07:00,810 –> 00:07:03,330
that I don't want applied
to the other photos.
210
00:07:03,330 –> 00:07:04,580
Just to kinda show the depth
211
00:07:04,580 –> 00:07:07,080
at which you can take this if you need to.
212
00:07:07,080 –> 00:07:09,770
So, back into here, I've
applied that look to it.
213
00:07:09,770 –> 00:07:12,540
Of course, this is applied
only to that one photo.
214
00:07:12,540 –> 00:07:13,950
So, go into this one photo, I
215
00:07:13,950 –> 00:07:15,910
I'm also gonna do a little
Geometry work in here.
216
00:07:15,910 –> 00:07:18,370
Let's do like a little
upright vertical straightening
217
00:07:18,370 –> 00:07:20,920
on there, see if that
makes it look any better,
218
00:07:20,920 –> 00:07:21,960
kinda straighten that out.
219
00:07:21,960 –> 00:07:23,800
Sure, let's just, you know,
pretend that that works,
220
00:07:23,800 –> 00:07:25,150
it doesn't really matter.
221
00:07:25,150 –> 00:07:29,350
Now at this point, I want
to take the adjustments
222
00:07:29,350 –> 00:07:32,710
from that one photo, the
adjustments from this photo here
223
00:07:33,783 –> 00:07:34,616
and copy it to all these,
but again, of course,
224
00:07:34,616 –> 00:07:36,220
I can't do that right
on the mobile device,
225
00:07:36,220 –> 00:07:38,160
so let's just go ahead and swipe up,
226
00:07:38,160 –> 00:07:40,640
and go back over to Screens,
227
00:07:40,640 –> 00:07:42,670
and we'll see if the connection
is still established.
228
00:07:42,670 –> 00:07:43,503
It looks like it is.
229
00:07:43,503 –> 00:07:44,840
If it wasn't it'll just take a moment,
230
00:07:44,840 –> 00:07:46,450
It'll say “reconnecting”
and you'll be reconnected,
231
00:07:46,450 –> 00:07:49,720
but in this case, I'm still
here and now I'm going to…
232
00:07:49,720 –> 00:07:51,906
let's go to the Teresa
version two, it's right there.
233
00:07:51,906 –> 00:07:54,420
It looks like the black and
white has already copied over,
234
00:07:54,420 –> 00:07:55,883
we can see it up there
on that screen as well.
235
00:07:55,883 –> 00:07:59,186
And now I'm going to
select that image, go to,
236
00:07:59,186 –> 00:08:00,940
let's see I have to go
into the editing mode here,
237
00:08:00,940 –> 00:08:01,773
I believe.
238
00:08:03,630 –> 00:08:05,666
Tap on the three dots
on here, there it is.
239
00:08:05,666 –> 00:08:08,980
“Copy edit settings” or
“choose edit settings to copy”,
240
00:08:08,980 –> 00:08:09,813
which is what I want.
241
00:08:09,813 –> 00:08:12,550
So, I “choose edit settings”,
that brings up this dialogue
242
00:08:12,550 –> 00:08:14,660
allowing me to choose
exactly what I want to copy.
243
00:08:14,660 –> 00:08:17,380
From here I can say, “do all modified,”
244
00:08:17,380 –> 00:08:18,600
so that's everything that was modified,
245
00:08:18,600 –> 00:08:22,360
however, I don't want Geometry,
so I'm going to disable that
246
00:08:22,360 –> 00:08:23,720
and then just hit Copy.
247
00:08:23,720 –> 00:08:24,960
That is now copied.
248
00:08:24,960 –> 00:08:27,250
Now, let's go back to the grid view,
249
00:08:27,250 –> 00:08:28,490
we'll tap on that one,
250
00:08:28,490 –> 00:08:30,750
hit the Shift modifier
key and tap on there.
251
00:08:30,750 –> 00:08:31,583
There we go!
252
00:08:31,583 –> 00:08:32,650
So, Shift-tap on there.
253
00:08:32,650 –> 00:08:34,490
Sometimes you've gotta
get a little bit creative
254
00:08:34,490 –> 00:08:37,500
of how you're selecting things,
but you can shift, click,
255
00:08:37,500 –> 00:08:40,730
to select a range, command
click to deselect a single one,
256
00:08:40,730 –> 00:08:41,563
it all works.
257
00:08:42,756 –> 00:08:43,810
Photo > Paste Edit Settings…
258
00:08:43,810 –> 00:08:45,210
There we go, it's all there.
259
00:08:46,672 –> 00:08:47,505
That's now already synced over.
260
00:08:47,505 –> 00:08:48,338
That's it.
261
00:08:48,338 –> 00:08:49,171
I realize it's a little disingenuous
262
00:08:49,171 –> 00:08:50,540
because you're not
actually doing it on here
263
00:08:50,540 –> 00:08:52,080
but it's totally possible.
264
00:08:52,080 –> 00:08:55,440
I do this all the time
because these two functions,
265
00:08:55,440 –> 00:08:57,230
the inability to copy a file,
266
00:08:57,230 –> 00:08:58,063
the in inability to paste to
multiple files, is just doing
267
00:08:58,063 –> 00:09:03,063
my head in and it doesn't
seem like it's something
268
00:09:03,250 –> 00:09:04,540
that's coming anytime soon.
269
00:09:04,540 –> 00:09:05,970
At least Adobe hasn't said that it is,
270
00:09:05,970 –> 00:09:08,130
so I decided… this is how I do it.
271
00:09:08,130 –> 00:09:09,360
I'm just going to share with you,
272
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:10,600
so you can do that as well.
273
00:09:10,600 –> 00:09:11,880
And that's all there is to it.
274
00:09:11,880 –> 00:09:13,470
Do you – let me ask you –
275
00:09:13,470 –> 00:09:15,750
do you have any other
crazy tips like this,
276
00:09:15,750 –> 00:09:18,370
crazy ways of using the tool
that is out of the ordinary,
277
00:09:18,370 –> 00:09:20,760
that allows you to do something
278
00:09:20,760 –> 00:09:22,130
that you couldn't normally do?
279
00:09:22,130 –> 00:09:23,540
If so, let me know in
the comments down below
280
00:09:23,540 –> 00:09:24,760
I want to hear about it
because I'm always trying
281
00:09:24,760 –> 00:09:26,830
to expand what I can do within Lightroom.
282
00:09:26,830 –> 00:09:29,220
I think it's a pretty cool
tip and technique to do here.
283
00:09:29,220 –> 00:09:30,100
For those of you watching live,
284
00:09:30,100 –> 00:09:31,880
let's jump into the Live Q&A right now.
285
00:09:31,880 –> 00:09:33,480
For those of you not watching live,
286
00:09:33,480 –> 00:09:35,820
that live Q&A that is no longer live,
287
00:09:35,820 –> 00:09:37,083
but was at some point, will be right here!
288
00:09:37,083 –> 00:09:38,107
See you in a moment.
289
00:09:38,107 –> 00:09:40,623
(upbeat music)
290
00:09:40,623 –> 00:09:43,206
(upbeat music)
