Whether you've shot a wedding, a product set, or a 100-frame photo dump from a trip, editing each image individually is brutal, and it leads to an inconsistent look. Batch editing solves both problems: apply one grade across the whole set in a single pass. Here's how to do it on mobile with CreativePass.
Why batch editing matters
Two reasons: speed and consistency. Speed is obvious, since it's one operation instead of a hundred. Consistency is the bigger win. A cohesive set where every image shares the same color signature looks intentional and professional, whether it's an Instagram carousel, a client gallery, or a brand catalog. Editing frame by frame almost guarantees drift in tone and color.
Step 1: Perfect the look on one image
Pick a representative shot, ideally one with typical exposure and skin tones, and build your grade on it. Apply a LUT, set contrast and white balance, add film emulation or grain, refine colors with a qualifier. This single image becomes your template, so it's worth getting right.
Step 2: Apply it across the set
In CreativePass, you can apply the same LUT and grade across multiple images at once with batch export, so your hero look propagates to the entire selection. Select your images, apply the grade, and let the app render them together, with progress tracking so you can see it work through the queue.
Step 3: Spot-check and adjust outliers
Batch editing gets you 90% of the way instantly, but lighting varies shot to shot. Because edits in CreativePass are nondestructive and per-image edit state is saved, you can open any individual frame that looks off, like a backlit shot or a darker interior, and nudge its exposure or white balance without disturbing the rest. Fix the few outliers rather than redoing everything.
Step 4: Export everything at once
Batch export your finished set in your chosen format (JPEG, HEIF, or lossless PNG) straight to the Camera Roll, the share sheet, or external storage. Progress tracking keeps you informed on large sets.
Tips for clean batch results
Shoot consistently to begin with, since the more uniform your exposure and white balance in-camera, the better a single grade fits everything. Build slightly conservative looks for batches; an extreme grade that flatters one frame may break others. And save your grade as a power grade so you can reuse it on future shoots, not just this one.
Edit the set, not the photo
Batch editing reframes the job from "100 photos to edit" to "one look to design." It's faster, more consistent, and far less tedious, and it all runs on your phone.
