Copying and Pasting Adjustments

Sometimes, you might have a series of photos that can benefit from the same adjustments—maybe they’re all similarly dark, for example, or all have the same color cast. Or maybe they all come to life when given the same combination of Definition and Sharpness adjustments.

With the Copy Adjustments and Paste Adjustments commands, you can apply one photo’s adjustments to other photos. After tweaking a photo to perfection, choose Edit > Copy Adjustments. Next, open a different photo in edit view, display the Adjust pane, and choose Edit > Paste Adjustments and watch the Adjust pane’s sliders move as if by magic.
