I've heard people talk about editing similarly lighted photos all at once so they could do 2 or 3 at a time (or more) but I wasn't sure if I could do that with Elements 11 and if so, how...
The best solution is to open those files and edit them in the ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) module. Remember you can open not only raw files, but also jpegs in ACR.
Two methods:
- open your similar lighting pictures at the same time in ACR and highlight them in the left strip bar. Your settings will be applied to all.
- or edit the first photo, then open the following and select to apply 'previous conversion' in the drop down menu just under the tabs icons.
Lighting correction (white balance) is best made in the ACR module. Note that PSE12 has an 'Open in ACR' option in the File menu; that makes it quicker than the 'Open As' option.
