ACR- Match Total Exposure?

[Us Plus Love]

Hey Damien!! I know you despise Lightroom and quite honestly I have NEVER used it, I love Bridge and ACR, I just saw a tutorial using lightroom where they were able to select a set of images that were darker and lighter and went to tools> Match Total Exposure and it matched them all to the first one selected in the group... how cool! Can ACR do that?? I would love to know if it does.

I'm not aware of that, sorry, but I'm not using the latest version.

do you still recommend using bridge and acr as opposed to lightroom?

[Damien Symonds]

Only if you want your photos to be good.

If you're happy for them to be shit, by all means use Lightroom.

Ok well Ill keep them great then.. but if you talk to Adobe.... tell them to hook us up with that match total exposures thing

[Damien Symonds]

No, you don't get it, do you?  This is exactly the kind of thing that Lightroom provides its users - a "near enough is good enough" mentality.  No focus on image quality.

Photoshop users have much more pride in their images.  They take the time to get them exactly right.
