What We Likedīoth PhotoBulk and BatchPhoto performed their respective functions beautifully. ![]() Navigating through them and using the functions you select is very straightforward. Each tab opens a menu from which you select the function you wish to use. The BatchPhoto interface, with its greater number of functions, adds fly-out panels for five groups of graphical filters: Annotate, Transform, Touch-up, Apply Fx, and Decorate. Making changes to images in BatchPhoto are done by choosing the appropriate filter from the fly-out menu. A preview function allows you to see your original and the changes you have made, and you can page through the entire batch if you wish using the arrow keys to see how the watermark works on each image. You can add multiple text and graphical watermarks and you can size and rotate them easily. The interface itself has a dark, modern look and navigating through the functions is straightforward. All of the program’s functions are available on a single screen and accessible with a single mouse click. With its single interface, PhotoBulk wins for user friendliness. Neither program has what I would consider a steep learning curve. Also available in the all of the BatchPhoto editions are libraries of special effects and decorations, such as frames, that can be added to the entire batch. You can add annotations, transform and crop images, and perform minor touch-ups on individual images (with the Pro edition). With its significantly higher cost, BatchPhoto is the more functional of the two programs we tested. Both support a wide variety of RAW file formats for processing, but you need the Pro edition of BatchPhoto for RAW files and watermarking. Once loaded with a batch of images, either individually or in an existing folder, you can resize, rename, add watermarks, and convert the batch to JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF output file formats. Photo ©Stan Sholik What’s Newīoth PhotoBulk and BatchPhoto include the same basic functionality. You access the six features in PhotoBulk in one simple interface. The Enterprise edition adds a watched hot folder and a few other capabilities. I tested the Pro edition on Mac and Windows. There are three editions of BatchPhoto: Home for $34.95 Pro for $59.95 and, Enterprise for $149.95. I tested version 2.0 of PhotoBulk for Mac (which is a little more advanced than the Windows version) and available on the app store for $9.99.īatchPhoto includes both Mac and Windows versions, which are comparable. The programs are available for both Mac and Windows computers. ![]() But two programs that have come to my attention recently are capable of handling batches of images large and small: PhotoBulk and BatchPhoto. While you can handle all of the above in a number of image editing programs, most of those programs aren’t set up to handle a large batch of images. They may also require a specific naming format for searches, and we may want to add a watermark for identification and protection. Many of these options are online, with each requiring the uploads to be a specific size and file format. As the quantity of images we create increases, so too do the number of options we have to show them.
