- Select multiple files in the image browser, then right click and select "Batch...".
File type - Select a file type to add only files of that type to the input list.
If you prefer a better preview quality, check the "high quality preview" box at the bottom of the input list, but this will need more time to load the images.
Batch Convert
Select a output format (BMP, JPG, PNG, TIFF) from the drop-down list. Click the "Options" button to set the format details.
Batch Rename
Type the name you want to use in the edit box:
- * = Original filename without extension
- # = One digital number
- $Y = Year
- $M = Month
- $D = Day
- $h = Hour
- $m = Minute
- $s = Second
When you rename the images with numbers, you can specify the starting number.
For example:
Typing "Seaside_#", "1", will give you "Seaside_1", for your first image.
Typing "Seaside_##", "2", will give you "Seaside_02", for your first image.
Batch Rotate, Flip, Resize
When you choose "Batch editing", the "Rotate & Flip & Resize" option panel is activated.
To rotate/flip images, check the box next to the rotate and flip drop-down list, then select the action you want to perform. For example:
"Rotate right(CW) + Flip horizontally" will rotate images 90°clockwise first, then flip them horizontally.
To resize images, check the box next to the "Resizing options…" button. Then click the button to set the resizing parameters.
Batch Edit
*This feature is only available in Pro edition

In the editing panel, do any of the following:
- Click the "Preset" button to choose a preset.
- Check the "Auto White Balance" / "Levels" box to apply automatic white balance/levels settings.
- Fine-tune the color and tone settings with arrow buttons. The single-arrow buttons adjust the settings in smaller increments than the double-arrow buttons. Click the square buttons to reset them.
- The "Amount" buttons control the overall effect strength.
- To remove all settings completely, click "Reset All" button.
You can preview the image effects in the input list.
