Syncing Adjustments

Once you’ve developed one image, it’s easy to reuse those adjustments on other photos. This process is called syncing and works by selecting the images you want to unify. Syncing is a global command that takes all the adjustments from one photo and applies them to one or more selected images.

To sync an image:

  1. Open an image in Luminar Neo and edit it.

  2. In the Catalog, select the adjusted image whose edits you wish to sync. It should have an orange border around its edges to indicate it is selected.

  3. Identify multiple images that you want to apply the same adjustments to.

    • This can be done in Gallery Images Mode (double-click on the photo to open gallery mode).

    • You can also select multiple images in the side Filmstrip (View > Hide/View Filmstrip)

    • Select the additional photos you want to use.

    • Hold down the Shift key and click to select a range of images.

    • Hold down the Cmd key (macOS) or Ctrl key (Windows) and click on individual photos to add them to the selection.

    • Additional selected photos now have a white border around them.

  4. Choose Image > Adjustments > Sync Adjustments to unify the images or press Shift+Cmd+S (macOS) or Shift+Ctrl+S (Windows). The images will synchronize, once complete you’ll notice an adjustment badge in the upper left corner when viewing in the Gallery Images Mode.

  5. Inspect the newly synced images and modify them as needed.

Note: Syncing and Batch Processing If you have several images to develop, you can use the Sync Adjustments command to perform a Batch Process. Simply adjust the first photo in a series. Sticking with Ai-powered adjustments works particularly well here. With the first image selected, simply choose the rest of the images, right-click on the first image, click Adjustments and then select Sync Adjustments to sync the images with the first image. Finish by using the Export command to batch export multiple photos.
