settings separately for each image; instead, the images must be opened one at a time in the order taken
and separate ad just ments made manually for each image.

Batch Processing
Nikon Capture 4 supports automated processing of multiple images (batch processing). Batch
pro cess ing is used to automate image processing, capturing images, applying pre-defi ned
image adjustment settings, and saving images to disk automatically. It is most effective when
applied to a series of pho to graphs taken under identical conditions. Images are processed in
the order taken.
When using batch processing, we recommend that you open one of the images to be pro-
cessed in Nikon Capture 4 and edit image adjustment settings to produce the de sired result.
You can then save these settings in a joint settings fi le using the Save Selected Adjustments
or Save All Adjustments option in the Settings > Image Adjustment menu (
82). By
se lect ing the re sult ing settings fi le in the Batch dialog, you can per form the same ad just ments
on all the images processed. In studio settings where a variety of shooting con di tions can be
rep li cat ed with ease, you can create separate settings fi les for commonly en coun tered con di -
tions and use these settings to automate repetitive image enhancement op er a tions.
