All features / Batch image processing

Apply one consistent look to a whole folder of photos

The Batch menu groups Watermark / auto beautify together: one mark or one look applied to a set of photos. For a single image, Filter → Auto beautify corrects levels, contrast, white balance, vibrance and clarity.

WORKFLOW

How it fits your workflow

01

One setting for the whole set

02

Change one thing at a time when grading

03

Test on a few different photos first

Practical details before you begin

For a single photo, the manual suggests this order: auto beautify first to fix exposure and white balance, then brightness/contrast, then hue/saturation, then clarity or soft light last. Change one thing at a time so you know which step ruined the result.

Judge the result by shrinking the image to phone size — if it still works small, it works. Before a full batch, test on two or three photos with different content and verify the output folder name.

PRACTICAL GUIDE

How do I grade hundreds of photos without ruining the whole batch?

Watermark / auto beautify in the Batch menu applies one look to a set of photos; Filter → Auto beautify on a single image corrects levels, contrast, white balance, vibrance and clarity. Before a full run, test a landscape, a portrait and a square image and verify the output folder.

Is batch auto beautify the same as the filter?

The names are close but they are different: the Batch menu version applies one set of adjustments to a whole folder, while the filter performs automatic exposure and tone correction on the current image — landscapes, still life and food included.

The result feels off. How do I find the cause?

Change one thing at a time, in this order: auto beautify first, then brightness/contrast, then hue/saturation, then clarity or soft light last. Shrink the image to phone size; if it still works small, it works.

STEP BY STEP

How to use it in the software

What batch processing does

The Batch menu groups commands by purpose:

Format conversion: turn a set of images into another format

Resize: maximum dimensions, fixed width or height, exact dimensions, or a padded canvas

File-size limits: compress alone, or limit both dimensions and file size

E-commerce fit: standardise dimensions and padding for product photos

Watermark / auto beautify: apply one mark or look to a set of photos

Batch rename: changes the selected files' names. Check the folder and naming rule first

Most image operations write to a separate output folder; rename changes the original filenames. Review the confirmation screen before running

Three things before running a batch

1. Test on two or three first: one landscape, one portrait, one square. Run the full batch only when happy

2. Check the output folder: image operations usually create one; read any same-name-folder warning before continuing

3. Back up before renaming: rename changes the original filenames. Check the preview and numbering rule

Cancelling

You can cancel mid-run. Files already processed are kept; the rest are skipped.

Hundreds of images take a while, and a progress bar is shown. Do not start another heavy job at the same time
