Main control on same layer across multiple images

Not sure it is technically possible.

The idea emerges as I am fine tuning a specific red on the background of 35 portraits.
I create a reference picture for settings and then apply and adapt on the other pictures.

So each picture ends up with the same layers, but not set identically.

The shoot was made on various location and every location needs that red to be adapted on a first time, then all the pictures have to be "egalized" as a series in a second time.

But now the client is all about slight and picky modifications (you know how), and it takes some time to select the right layer and decrease the saturation (for say)(in the color editor) on 35 pictures.

So I am dreaming of a main control one could link to multiple layers across multiple images when one needs to apply the same setting modification to all the pictures.

Obviously these linked layers would have to be named the same or manually linked to the main control.

Another approach would be through a sort of action with a tick box to select affected layers.


Current workaround

Great loss of time to modifiy each setting individually

    Yes!!
    Global layers for a defined series of photos, with the possibility to deactivate it on individual photos when necessary.

    Working with a series of office environment portraits now, and ended up with two layers on all the files – where I now have to go back and delete/adjust every single layer, instead of applying global adjustments (esp. with the advanced color tool and similar finicky adjustments).
