Simply select each option, adjust the settings according to your preference, and have confidence that every image will be treated uniformly. Take a moment to explore these options and set them as per your requirements.
Lastly, it's time to apply these edits to all your selected images. Once your adjustments are configured, you'll hit the apply button. This is where the BIMP plugin truly shines, executing the changes across multiple images almost instantly. As it works through the batch, you'll see progress updates letting you know how it's going. Be sure to give it a moment to process, especially if you're working with a large number of photos.
