Batch Processing

Nikon Capture 4 supports automated processing of multiple images (batch processing). Batch processing is used to automate image processing, capturing images, applying pre-defined image adjustment settings, and saving images to disk automatically. It is most effective when applied to a series of photographs taken under identical conditions. Images are processed in the order taken.

When using batch processing, we recommend that you open one of the images to be pro- cessed in Nikon Capture 4 and edit image adjustment settings to produce the desired result. You can then save these settings in a joint settings file using the Save Selected Adjustments or Save All Adjustments option in the Settings > Image Adjustment menu ( 82). By selecting the resulting settings file in the Batch dialog, you can perform the same adjustments on all the images processed. In studio settings where a variety of shooting conditions can be replicated with ease, you can create separate settings files for commonly encountered condi- tions and use these settings to automate repetitive image enhancement operations.

Before Using Batch Processing

Close the Batch progress dialog

Batch processing is used to perform the operations specified in the Image Adjustments section of the Batch dialog on all files in a selected folder. 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 in the order taken and separate adjustments made manually for each image.
