How to Edit More Than One Picture at a Time

You have just spent the day photographing, and your memory card is full with hundreds of pictures. You download the pictures to your computer, and you are faced with hours of editing time. While you could edit these pictures one at time, you can edit an entire folder of images using a program such as Adobe Photoshop Elements and the "Process Multiple Files" option.

Instructions

- 1
  Insert your memory card into the computer's card reader. You may want to copy the images you want to edit to your computer's hard drive.
- 2
  Open Adobe Photoshop Elements and select "Edit" from the welcome screen. Click "File" in the navigation bar and select "Process Multiple Files" from the drop-down menu.
- 3
  Click "Browse" in the top left box for the "Source" folder you want to process. Click the second "Browse" box for the destination folder and create a new folder where the edited images will be saved to. Do not select "Same as Source" because then the edited images would replace the original images.
- 4
  Click the small box in "File Type" and select the quality setting you want to save the edited images. The minimum setting is "1," and the maximum setting is "12."
- 5
  Click the "Quick Fix" tab in the top right portion of the box and select the editing functions you want the images to receive.
- 6
  Click "OK" in the bottom right of the window, and the program will start to edit all of the images in the folder you selected.
