If you find yourself applying the same edits to dozens of images, it’s time to explore Luminar Neo batch processing. This feature is a game-changer for anyone editing event photos, travel galleries or even family portraits.
Why Batch Processing in Luminar Neo Can Save You Hours
Rather than editing each image manually, Luminar Neo allows you to apply your adjustments across multiple photos with just a few clicks.
For hobbyists and returning photographers alike, this is one of the most efficient ways to speed up your workflow.
What Is Batch Processing in Luminar Neo?
Batch processing is the ability to apply edits, presets or templates to multiple images at the same time. In Luminar Neo, this works beautifully with their signature Presets, AI tools and adjustment layers.
Once you’ve edited a single image to your satisfaction, you can copy those settings and apply them to an entire group.
It’s ideal for:
- Keeping a consistent look across a gallery
- Saving time on repetitive edits
- Prepping photos for export with unified styling
If you’ve wondered how to edit multiple photos at the same time, this tool is your answer.

How to Edit in Luminar Neo Using Batch Processing
Here’s a step-by-step on how to use batch processing in Luminar Neo:
- Edit your first photo the way you want—adjust exposure, contrast, colour, etc.
- Hover over the image and right-click on your mouse.
- Select Adjustments > Copy Adjustments.
- Return to the Catalog view and select the other images you want to apply the edit to.
- With the group selected, right-click and choose Adjustments > Paste Adjustments.
Your edits will be applied instantly. You can still go in and tweak individual images if needed.
Bonus: Using Presets and Templates for Batch Editing
Another way to streamline your Luminar Neo workflow is by using presets:
- Edit a photo and save the look as a Custom Preset.
- Apply that preset to multiple photos in the Catalog view.
It’s perfect if you want to apply your own style across an album or test different creative treatments in batches.
You can also batch export with resizing, sharpening, or watermarking—great for social media or client delivery.
When Should You Batch Edit (and When Not To)?
Batch editing is a powerful tool, but it’s best used with care:
Great for:
- Images taken in consistent lighting
- Product shoots with identical setups
- Travel photos where you want a signature look
Avoid when:
- Photos with extreme lighting differences
- Portraits that require individual skin tone adjustments
- Edits needing local adjustments or masking
The best practice is to batch edit for speed, then fine-tune standout shots individually.
