Unmesh Dinda 0:00 Hi there, this is Unmesh from PiXimperfect.
And today I'm going to share with you how to match the exposures of multiple photos
with just one click.
And here's the great part.
We're going to match the exposures according to the camera settings.
Makes sense?
No?
Let me show that to you.
So, here we are in Lightroom and I want you to have a close look at these photos.
We are in the develop module and these photos were taken from a bridge.
I was in Kolkata, I was taking photos of these boats from the bridge, it was fun.
Now, let's have a look at the settings of the camera when these pictures were taken.
If we press I, Image Settings kind of show up, all right.
If we press I again, the camera settings show up.
So this was taken with 1/200th of a second at f 10, ISO 800, right?
Now, I think the exposure was not right.
So I changed the settings just a bit and took the second photo.
In the second photo, I changed the shutter speed to 1/1250th of a second and then change
the f stop and the ISO as well.
But I still think the exposure was not right.
So in the third photo, I just brightened it up just a little bit.
So, let's say this is the exposure that you like.
All right, and all of the photos have been taken in the same lighting conditions, as
you can see in this case, only have to do is select all of these photos.
So, this photo is right now selected, you can hold the Ctrl or Command key and then
select the other two.
You can also hold the Shift key.
So, let's say only this one was selected, hold the Shift key, select the last one, all
of them in the line will be selected.
Now, keep in mind, the brightest photo in the selection, you see the selection right
there, all of the selected photos have been enlightened, but the brightest one is the
most selected photo.
So make sure that the most selected photo is the photo where the exposure is right.
You can also adjust the exposure if you want to.
So if you want to adjust the perfect exposure, so let's say, this is the exposure that you
want in all of the images.
Next thing you do is go to Settings and then Match Total Exposures.
And have a look, the exposures were automatically updated.
Look at the second one.
See, automatically the exposure went to 0.73 to match with that of the Camera Settings
of the perfect exposure.
Look at this one, it went 0.73 as well.
In this case, it is just 0.09.
So, all of the images will adjust independently according to the Camera Settings that you
had put there and put the same exposure for all of those images.
Now, do keep in mind, if the lighting situations change and not your Camera Settings, this
feature will not work.
Let me show you what I mean.
Let's have a look at these series of photos.
So, here's the first one, second one, third one.
As you can see, the exposure just doesn't look similar on all of these photos.
However, if you have a close look at the Camera Settings, so look at the Camera Settings,
1/200th, f 5.6 and the second one is the same, third one - the camera settings are the same.
So why are the exposures different?
Because the flash did not fire properly or the power of the flash was not enough.
So in this case, the Camera Settings was not at fault.
The lighting conditions were at fault.
So let's say, this is the perfect exposure.
Even if I select all of these, since the Camera Setting is the same, if I go to Settings and
then Match Total Exposures, nothing, nothing will happen.
It stays at the same position Why?
Because the Camera Settings are the same.
So that is the only exception to this technique.
Otherwise, this is great for matching exposures across multiple shots.
