What you'll need
- Lightroom, Photoshop, or batch processing software
- Consistently shot source images
- Reference edit to create presets
Step-by-step guide
Shoot consistently
Batch editing works best when source images are consistent. Use same lighting, camera settings, and backgrounds for products you'll process together.
Create a master edit
Edit one representative image perfectly. Adjust exposure, color, cropping, and any other corrections needed.
Save as preset
In Lightroom, save your adjustments as a preset. In Photoshop, record your edits as an Action for repeatable application.
Apply to batch
Select all images in your batch and apply the preset simultaneously. In Photoshop, use File > Automate > Batch to process folders.
Review and fine-tune
Quickly scan through processed images. Some may need individual adjustment due to variation in products or shooting conditions.
Pro tips

What software is best for batch editing product photos?
Lightroom is ideal for batch processing with its catalog system and sync features. Photoshop Actions work well for more complex edits.
How many photos can I batch edit at once?
Software can handle hundreds or thousands. The practical limit is your computer's RAM and storage speed. Process in manageable chunks for easier review.
Will batch editing work for products with different colors?
Yes, if lighting is consistent. Color variations in products should come through naturally. Avoid presets with strong color adjustments for mixed batches.
