How do I batch-apply the same white balance shift to multiple photos in Lightroom?

I need to prepare many photos for printing and want to apply the same relative white balance adjustment to all of them in Lightroom 5. Each image already has its own white balance, so I do not want to set one absolute Kelvin value for every file. Instead, I want to shift each selected photo by the same amount before export/print. Is there a way to do this in batch within Lightroom?

  1. Open one picture in Develop mode
  2. Set the (relative) adjustment you want to one picture.
  3. Ctrl-Shift-C (Copy Settings) and check at least White Balance.
  4. Return to Grid view and select multiple pictures to which you want to apply the same relative adjustment.
  5. Press Ctrl-Shift-V (Paste Settings).

Now all select images will have the relative White Balance adjustment applied (along with any other adjustments you want to include in the batch process).

Yes. In Lightroom, make the white balance adjustment on one photo in the Develop module, then copy and paste that setting to the other selected images.

Steps:

  1. Open one image in Develop.
  2. Adjust White Balance the way you want.
  3. Press Ctrl+Shift+C to open Copy Settings.
  4. Select at least White Balance (and any other settings you want copied).
  5. Go back to Grid view and select all target photos.
  6. Press Ctrl+Shift+V to paste the settings.

This applies the same white balance adjustment across the selected photos as part of your batch workflow. You can include only White Balance, or combine it with other adjustments if needed.
