Reduce Exposure on All Images by 1/2 Stop (from current position)

[robpgreer]

I did a shoot the other day and the client now wants me to reduce the exposure on dozens photos. I've already adjusted the exposure on several images to several different degrees. In other words, some are at ', some are 1/2 - 1/3 stop hotter, some are 1/2 - 1/3 stop darker.

Is there a way for me to quickly reduce the exposure by 1/2 stop on ALL of the images from their current adjustment point? In other words, if I have one image that's adjusted 1/4 hotter and one image that's adjusted 1/2 darker, is there away to adjust them both so they both are reduced by 1/2 stop? In other words, after the change the hot one would be 1/4 stop below ' and the darker one would be 3/4 stop below '.

Thanks for the help!

Yes -- to do relative changes to multiple images, select them all in Grid and make the adjustment using Quick Develop, on the right side of the Library module.

However, the QD controls for Exposure operate either 1/3 stop at a time (single arrow) or a full stop at a time (double arrow). So there's no easy way to do 1/2 stop.

Hi Rob, welcome aboard. Nice to see you appearing here.

If you select the photos of interest in the bottom Film Strip, then go into develop module and change the exposure by 1/2 stop ... you have then changed one photo by 1/2 stop. If you click on the Sync button, then the other selected photos also change exposure by 1/2 stop.

Won't work Paige! The OP already made exposure adjustments and now need relative adjustments. Only Quick Develop do this... By synching, all his previous work get lost.
