to those images, just as if you had
applied them to each image individu-
ally. Settings Files are often used to
apply a unique series of enhancements
that can work for a wide variety of
images, such as applying a black and
white conversion to be used as a basis
for an additional enhancement, or
adding a warm sepia-tone to the image.
To create a Settings File, open an
image, either by using the Open Image
command or by double-clicking on an
image in the Browser.
Make whatever enhancements and
adjustments that are necessary to the
image. Once you have completed the
adjustments to the image, you can start
creating the Settings File.
Navigate to the Batch Menu and select
Save Settings. This will call up the Save
Settings dialog window, which includes
a representation of the Edit List from
the current image, complete with the
image settings. Simply check off the
different steps from this image that you
want to save into the Settings File. Once
you have selected all of the enhance-
ments and steps that you would like to
apply to additional images, enter a name
for the Settings File. While it is recom-
mended that you leave the Settings File
in the default folder location, since this
will make it easy to locate when you are
ready to apply a batch process, you are
given the option to select a different
location to place the Settings File.
For more information regarding the Save
Settings command, please see page 182.
How to Apply a Batch
Process With a Settings File
Once you have created a Settings File,
you can begin applying the enhance-

within the Browser, or even to a folder
on your computer.
To apply a batch process in the Editor or
Browser, navigate to the Load Settings
section of the Batch Menu and locate
the Settings File that you want to apply.
By selecting the Settings File from this
location, you will apply those settings
either to the current image in the
editor or to the selected files within the
Browser.
If you are applying a Settings File
to multiple images in the Browser,
the thumbnails for the images will
automatically become updated and
a small icon will appear next to each
selected image, indicating that it needs
to be processed. A Processing Queue
window will also appear, enabling you
to begin the batch process. Click on
the Start button to begin processing
the images with the default settings. By
default, the batch process will save the
