Batch processing is a time saver when it comes to your workflow. It lets you experiment with different presets or select several photos and apply the presets you want to them. In this movie, author RichardHarrington shows how to batch process several different bracketed photos from the same shoot.
- You may recall our discussion on batch processing.…It really allows you to save time.…Earlier, I did an example of batch processing…a time-lapse sequence.…Now, I'd like to show you how I can batch-process…several different bracketed photos from the same shoot.…With Photomatix open, you'll see the choice…to batch bracketed photos.…This will make it easy to select the options that you want.…You might decide to first browse and process…one of the photos that's from that shoot…in order to get the right settings,…but I'm just going to be a little bit more experimental here…and let Photomatix try some options out.…
I'll click Batch Bracketed Photos,…and it brings up a new dialog.…Now, select the folder that contains the images.…I'll navigate to the exercise files.…Go to Folder Six,…and choose Automating with Batch Processing.…Select the folder called Bracketed Series.…It contains three sets of photos.…These are shots from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC,…and you see the traditional three-shot bracket…to help cover the dynamic range.…
