Copy and Paste for Edits

Working an image into perfect shape can involve a lot of time and slider-tweaking. And sometimes, a whole batch of photos require the same fixes—photos you took at the same time, for example.

Fortunately, you don't have to re-create your masterful slider work on each of 200 photos, spending hours performing repetitive work. You can copy the adjustment settings from one photo and paste them onto others.

  • iPhoto. Open a photo you've edited, open the Adjust palette, and click the Copy button at the bottom. Now move to the next shot (use the Thumbnails browser, for example) and then click the Paste button. All of your corrections are applied to the new picture. You can apply those copied settings to as many more photos as you wish.

  • Picasa. In the thumbnails view, select the photo whose edits you want to copy. Choose Edit → Copy All Effects. Now select all the other photos that deserve the same treatment; they have to be in the same folder or album. Choose Edit → Paste All Effects. Picasa applies the same edits to the whole batch of pictures.
