Copy Raw Data in ACR - Develop Settings

[snapmomma76]

Hi Damien,

I used to be able to make a raw adjustment to one file and then if there was a series that were the same I would right click (Develop settings + Copy Data) and then I would right click Develop Settings + Paste Data and it would apply all the same adjustments as the first picture in ACR. Now for the past two days it's not working at all?....any Idea how to fix it I'm on CC and PC.

 

Thanks

I'm not aware of that functionality ever existing in ACR, to be honest.  As far as I knew, it only exists in Bridge.

In ACR, you'd use the "Synchronise" button.

Sorry that's what I meant....Bridge

[Damien Symonds]

Ok.  And what's the problem, exactly?  Are you saying the "Paste settings" menu item isn't available?

[snapmomma76]

It's there and I'm able to click it....but when I open the file it didn't take on the settings I've pasted. I'm going to try the ACR Sync to see if that works.

Nope doesn't work either   in ACR ughhh I use this all the time and it's so frustrating I have no idea what I did. I'll reboot again and see.

Wait, can you do this first?  http://www.damiensymonds.net/thread1.html

I have a PC desktop running Windows 8 and Photoshop CC. It is under 2 years old, and has 8GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 27.6GB free out of 149GB. The last time I shut down was earlier today. I have never run a cleanup program.

and my Data Drive has 455 GB Fee of 1.65 TB.

This is significantly less than the 1/3rd free space that Brian recommends.  Better try to trim it a bit.

And run this pronto.

[snapmomma76]

Ok I ran the program and I'm now 46GB free of 149 on C: Drive and 541 GB free on Data Drive.

[Damien Symonds]

Lovely.  Now restart and see if the problem still exists.

[snapmomma76]

Sadly no it did not work.....neither in ACR or Bride

[Damien Symonds]

Does it still work on older files, where you know it used to work?

[snapmomma76]

It wasn't working but then I check the pop up where it says what it is going to copy over and all the RAW boxes I usually use were unchecked....so I clicked them all off and VOILA!! it works, I have no idea why those were all unchecked. I never touch that part.

Thank you so much though at least now my PC is cleaner and I will get some files off of it this weekend to speed things up.
