Overview
Daniel Scott
Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Hi everyone, let's look at copy and pasting settings...
we've done it before but we're going to add a little bit of extra pizzazz to it...
pizzazz, we're going to add some extra complexity...
because there are times where you want to copy some of the settings...
to all of the images that you've got in a photo shoot...
but sometimes you just want a little bit of it, so let me show you.
So the reminder, let's do the reminder first...
because, something like a wedding, where there's lots of images...
I've done a basic edit to this one, both light and color...
and what we can do with it open, or selected down here in the film strip...
we can go, copy, so I'm going to use a shortcut...
'Command C' on a Mac, 'Ctrl C' on a PC...
and you can click on one or lots of images...
and just go paste, which is really cool...
because it brings those settings through...
but there'll be times where you actually just want part of what you've done...
maybe it's just the, you know, the white balance needs to be fixed...
and you're going to work on the light, the tone in here...
exposure, contrast, all separately for the images.
So let's undo that, go back to my original...
and what I can do, either down here in the film strip or in gallery view...
is instead of just using that shortcut for copy...
I can right click it, and I can say, 'Choose Edit Settings' to copy...
like I will pick, I will decide that I don't want anything...
except for the color settings...
and in color I only want the white balance that I did...
so you've got a huge big photo shoot, you only want some parts...
it might just be the light, it might just be the exposure...
it might be just one part of this, I want to show you that you can go...
just you, then click on this one...
click on the thousands of images in your photo shoot...
I've only got a couple to keep the file size down...
I'm going to select you, and you...
holding 'Command' on my Mac, 'Ctrl' key on a PC...
to select those two separately, and I'm going to go paste...
and you notice, very slightly, it just pasted the white balance.
I'm going to go into this one now, double click it, and before, after...
it didn't bring through the tone, just the color...
that can be really handy sometimes...
we'll use that a couple more times throughout the course...
but yeah, I want to introduce it here while we're working on color...
and to remind you basically that when you are doing color adjustments...
you just copy and paste them across loads of images...
all right, that's all I had to say...
over and out, see you in the next video.
