Live Batch Processing

Live batch processing is used to perform the operations specified in the Image Adjustments section of the Live Batch dialog as images are captured from the camera. To ensure that desired results are achieved, we recommend processing a test image before beginning batch processing. Batch processing can not be used to adjust settings separately for each image; instead, the images must be opened one at a time and separate adjustments made manually for each image.
