Editing photos is fun when you are doing just one, editing photos in bulk on the other hand, can be a very tedious process. Thankfully most editing softwares now a days, allow you to apply your edit values to multiple photos at a time, but that too works only for stop motion projects. Are you on the look out for a new editing software? Check out this handy guide which might be able to help you narrow down your search easily https://photolemur.com/blog/lightroom-alternatives.
We have gathered the best tips to help making your editing process much easier, they can significantly decrease your edit times and help you make time for more photographs.
1- Organize
Organizing may sound boring, but a little effort will go a long way. Name your folders chronologically and keep them synced to the editing software of your choice. This will help you keep track of your edits and having the location feature turned on in your camera will go a step further. This way you’ll be able to find photos based on the location you remember once your photo library breaches the 5000 mark.
2- Color Profiles are your friends
Most editing softwares offer color presets that allow you to achieve a certain style at the ease of a single click. They are easy to apply and easy to obtain. Many online creators and websites offer tons of free LUTs and presets that you can scour to find the right ones for you. This way you can have a set of pre chosen profiles that you can apply to multiple photos at a single go reducing your editing times significantly.
3- Create a base and Copy to all!
If color profiles are not your cup of tea and you always click with something in mind on single projects then this trick might come in handy for you. Create your own base custom profile for your project, granted it will take more time but it’s still better than editing each one on its own. Plus, if you had your camera set on auto then this might help you achieve a consistent white balance too, to some extent at least. And once your base is created, you can simply save it as a custom profile and apply it to multiple photos, or copy your editing attributes and simply paste them on your selected photos.
