Batch processing
Selecting a whole folder works, but processing is sequential. A 500-image batch takes roughly 4–6 minutes on an M-series Mac. Kick it off and go make coffee.
Presets¶
| Preset | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Neutral | Baseline correction only | Mixed batches |
| Warm | Shifts white balance +300K | Golden hour |
| Cool | Shifts white balance −200K | Overcast, snow |
| Film | Adds grain and a tone curve | Portraits |
Keyboard shortcuts¶
| Action | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Open the plugin | Cmd+Alt+P / Ctrl+Alt+P |
| Apply last preset | Cmd+Alt+R / Ctrl+Alt+R |
| Cancel a running batch | Esc |
Undo¶
Every change is written as a new develop-history step, so Cmd+Z works normally. To revert an entire batch, select the photos and use Develop → Reset.
