Blend modes in Lightroom, where?? Help

[rickp1]

hey guys,
I can't seem to find the blend modes in lightroom, can anyone help me out?

If they are not available, this is what I'm trying to do. And I can't seem to figure it out.

I'm editing some landscape images and the first thing I'm doing is changing the blend mode to multiply, then from there adjusting lighting and saturation. Once I have my image the way I want it how do I add those changes to other images in lightroom?

What I did once done, is I imported the edited image into lightroom and tried to sync the changes but nothing happened. I thinking it's because I did all of it in CS4 not in lightroom.
I would also like to save the settings as a preset.

Thanks in advance.

R.

there are no blend modes or layers in lightroom so maybe clairify your question a bit...
If you want to apply the lightroom changes you made in one image to another image: after making the adjustments in the first image, choose the next image and click the previous button. You can also select several images and apply the adjustments to all the selected photos. Unless you specify in the sync dialoge box, all adjustment including crop are applied to the selected image(s).

zona,
thanks for the reply. I know about syncing the changes to other images.
What I wasn't sure about was being able to ably a blend mode in LR. In the pictures I'm editing the multiply blend mode does exactly what i need to do so I was hoping LR would do it.
I was also hoping I could export my editing settings to LR from PS. At least the changes the they both support. THis would let me build a preset in either application, not just do work and lose the setting at the end so to speak.

THAT would be cool if LR and PS could do that. I think your next best solution would be to create an action in PS and run your LR exports as a batch through PS.
