Hey everyone! I’ve got a quick photography story for you today. A friend of mine recently hosted an event, and the photographer just handed him over 800 completely unedited RAW files straight off the memory card. When he looked at them, all the indoor shots were completely yellow due to a white balance issue, and he was panicking about how to fix so many photos.Naturally, I told him, "Don't worry, I got you". Since these weren't my photos, I didn't want to import 800 massive files into my Lightroom Classic catalog just to delete them later. Instead, this was the perfect excuse to use the new Local tab in Lightroom Desktop.In this video, I walk you through exactly how I helped him out. I show you how I browsed the folder locally, instantly fixed the white balance using the eyedropper tool, applied an adaptive color profile, and added a touch of manual denoise. The best part? I copied those exact settings and batch-pasted them across all 800 photos while I walked away. After a quick export to JPEG, I was able to hand my friend a folder of perfectly edited images ready for social media and prints.
