Batch Processing with the Capture One Editor
The Capture One editor has a really nice way to automatically apply your edits from one photo to a group of other photos that need the same treatment. This is a huge time saver when you have lots of shots needing the same editing treatment. In this article, I’m using Capture One 2023.
If you have other shots that need slightly different edits compared to your original editing steps, you can always go back to those shots and touch-up the applied edits.
Click the other photographs that need the same editing as your original edited photo. Use the left mouse button and the Control or Shift keys to select the desired shots in the filmstrip (‘Command’ in Macs is the same as ‘Control’ in Windows).
Batch Cropping
Notice that the cropping in the master photograph shown above didn’t get applied to the other photographs. You didn't think that you'd get away that easily, did you? There is a different procedure to accomplish batch-cropping of photos.
To apply a crop to a series of photos, start by selecting the set of pictures in the filmstrip. Next, select the ‘Shape’ tab, which includes cropping features, and click on the ‘crop’ icon.
Use the mouse to select the desired cropping outline on the master photograph. Next, click the indicated icon as shown in step 4 above to get the ‘Adjustments Clipboard’ dialog.
In the ‘Adjustments Clipboard’, click the ‘Apply’ button. The crops will applied to all of the selected photos.
If the ‘batch crop’ needs fine-tuning in one of the photos, you can always select that shot and then go back and adjust the crop outline just like you do with any photograph.
