Batch presets

Reuse IPTC presets across a group of photos while retaining per-photo overrides.

The problem it solves: Repeated photo assignments need consistent metadata without retyping the same fields for every image.

What you can do

  • Create and reuse metadata templates or presets.
  • Apply batch values to multiple selected photos.
  • Use per-photo overrides when one image needs a different caption or field value.

Available options

  • Preset fields, batch values, per-photo overrides, byline, location, and delivery settings.

Supported inputs

  • A selected group of local photos and a saved metadata preset.

Outputs

  • A batch of processed photo copies with resolved metadata values.

Workflow

  1. Choose or create an IPTC preset.
  2. Select batch fields and photos to process.
  3. Review per-photo overrides and write resolved values to processed copies.

Limitations

  • A preset only affects fields configured for that workflow; empty or disabled fields are not implied to contain data.

Common questions

Can one photo override a batch metadata value?

Yes. Workflow resolver tests cover per-photo values taking precedence over batch values for configured fields.
