28 Chapter 6— Getting Started |Batch Processing
Batch Processing
Batch processing is the automatic application of one or more enhancements to a series of images. Typically,
a photographer will use a batch process to apply a predefined series of adjustments to several images at
once. CaptureNX 2 contains even more methods of batch processing than before. You can select a folder of
images and select a series of enhancements to apply to those images, you can add an XMP/IPTC preset to a
series of images, you can set up a live edit batch process, or you can set up a watched folder.
Applying a series of enhancements to a folder of images
1Enhance an image that is representative of the images that you would like to apply a batch process
to.
2Navigate to the Batch menu and select Save
Adjustments…. This will call up the “Save
Adjustments” dialog and let you create a settings
file.
3Check each of the checkboxes for the enhancements
that you would like to apply in the batch process and
provide a name for the settings file. Click OK.
